Your Guide to Disney Parks & ExperiencesNamaste, my friend! How is your week going so far? I'm writing to you from a (very crowded) airport in Houston, on my way to Galveston, TX! WHY, do you ask? Because the "Further Adventures of Me and Beci Mahnken from Mouse Fan Travel" continue! We're continuing the "let's only spend 2.5 days on land in February" trend and going to do a little research and reconnaissance for a Marvel Day at Sea cruise! (Hmmm... interesting). And of course, I'll be sharing the experience (and culinary adventures!) with you as they happen. So please come along with me on my Instagram stories and posts! π’ (and if all this cruise talk has you itching to cruise, check out Mouse Fan Travel's cruise free search and booking tool at WDWRadio.com/MouseFanCruise!) Speaking of cruises, thank you for your feedback on our next group cruise poll here in the newsletter and in the Clubhouse. This input is very helpful as we plan some of the places we are going to travel to together next! - Stay tuned... announcements coming soon! Have you checked out this week's podcast yet?This weekβs podcast episode - Top Ten Extinct Walt Disney World Experiences We'd Bring Back - was a fun oneβ¦ especially because I got to welcome Little Timmy Foster back to the show after way too long. We set one big rule: no attractions. And once we started digging into the extinct experiences weβd bring back, it turned into less of a listβ¦ and almost more of a reminder of how much the "little things" mattered. It wasn't really about the "big things" but more about the emotional ones. Give it a listen and let me know whatβs on your list? Listen on Apple Podcasts or Spotify, the WDW Radio web site, or just click below! And if you like the episode, please share it with someone else!

Hey Reader! You may have been to a Momentum event before... so it's possible you know that Momentum is not your typical business event. This year? It's the most intentional lineup I've ever put together. Every speaker, every session, every day has been designed around one goal: you leaving Orlando with more than inspiration. You'll leave with a real, documented plan for growing, scaling, and monetizing your business. And you won't just learn it. You'll build it while you're in the room. I'm...
Your Guide to Disney Parks & Experiences Hello, my friend! I have to be honest with you about something. I thought this week's podcast was going to be an interview about baseball. It was not. Standing on the field at ESPN Wide World of Sports with Jesse Cole - founder of the Savannah Bananas - the conversation became something I did not expect. Jesse talked about Walt. About the Walt Disney World experience he had as a kid that stayed with him for decades and became the seed of everything he...
Your Guide to Disney Parks & Experiences Hey [FIRST NAME]! I hope your week has been filled with a little magic! There's been some fun and fascinating Disney announcements and conversations recently (including in the Clubhouse), right? And have you checked out this week's podcast yet? Over the past few months, I have received a number of great questions from our WDW Radio family about my Momentum Weekend Workshop this October 15-18 in Walt Disney World, including: "What are the days actually...
