✨ Makin' Memories (just like the old EPCOT song!) 🎵

Your Guide to Disney Parks & Experiences🏯 Oh, the Memories… and the Magic!One of the things I love most about Disney is how it creates memories that last a lifetime... from the first time you walk down Main Street, to the stories we share from the ships, screens, and even faraway lands. And this week, we’re diving back into one of the most extraordinary Adventures by Disney I’ve ever experienced. In WDW Radio #832, it’s Part 2 of our 🇯🇵 Journey to Japan Group Adventure Recap... and trust me, this is more than just a trip report! Join us around the virtual table as we share our unforgettable journey through Kyoto, Hiroshima, Takayama, Shirakawa-go, Tokyo, and beyond. From meaningful moments to magical memories, it was an adventure that touched our hearts and brought our WDW Radio family even closer together. 👉 Haven’t listened to Part 1 yet? No worries! Click here to catch up, and of course, you can find every episode of WDW Radio on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts. I still wasn't fully recovered from the jet lag before boarding a plane (actually two) to Boise, Idaho for a conference. Traveling is great... catching up is not (so if I owe you an email or messages reply, I promise it's coming!). I'm home for a couple of weeks before we head out for our first WDW Radio group Adventures by Disney to Disneyland and Southern California... and I can't wait! Imagineering, Hollywood, The Walt Disney Studios, Disneyland (the food!!!)... and a few surprises!

That’s the real magic behind so many of these movies, and something I believe is just as important in business as any strategy or tool. If you're launching something new, scaling what you've built, or simply trying to figure out your next move,...
Hey Reader! I just got back from Boise after attending Craft & Commerce, a conference hosted by the team at Kit, the email platform I use and love. And let me tell you… it wasn’t just another business event. It was a much-needed reminder. A reminder of why we do this entrepreneurship thing and what moves the needle.

For showing up, sharing your love of Disney (and so much more), and for being part of this amazing WDW Radio family. It means more than you know. There’s a lot happening this week, and I’m excited to share it with you! 🎙️...
