Your Guide to Disney Parks & Experiences

Ahoy, my friend!

I hope you are doing well, loving life, and appreciating every day!

This has been a wild, wonderful few weeks, as I have been at sea since Feb. 1, other than about 2 days total. Beci from Mouse Fan Travel and I did a pre-group research trip on the Destiny before our group cruise the following week... which was amazing!!! We had more than 150 members of our WDW Radio family come together from around the world to enjoy all the new ship and our community activities had to offer!

And if you missed it... don't worry! We're in the process of researching and planning our next cruise, events, and adventures, so stay tuned! (In fact, we're on another ship right now, and will be heading to Galveston for a Marvel Day at Sea cruise on Disney Cruise Line next week, so please follow along on my Instagram stories and posts! 🚢 (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!

I know that I missed a podcast this week due to travel, but will be recording one while I'm away, but in the meantime, did you listen to the episode about my call with new Disney CEO Josh D'Amaro? Subscribe and listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, your favorite podcast app, or on the WDW Radio site. And if you like the episode, please share it with someone else!

🚶🏻 SIGN UP NOW and Join Us for Walk For Wishes 2026!

Last year was our first time walking together as the WDW Radio Walking Team for Walk For Wishes, and it was such a fun, meaningful event. Seeing our community show up, walk side by side, and support families in such a real way was incredibly powerful. So we’re doing it again! On Thursday, April 9, 2026, we’ll be at Lake Eola Park in Orlando as part of our continued support of Make-A-Wish through the WDW Radio Dream Team Project - and I’d really love for you to join us. You can walk with us. You can fundraise. You can donate. However you choose to be part of it, you’re helping grant life-changing wishes for children who truly need them. And that’s something very special to be part of. Learn more or register now to join us at WDWRadio.com/WalkForWishes26 💙

🚀 If you’re ready to turn what you love into what you do...

...and build the life and business you’ve been dreaming about - this is exactly why I created this 1-day, virtual monetization workshop for creators and solopreneurs.

Join me live online on March 20, 2026 from 9:00am – 12:30pm ET for a focused, hands-on Monetization Workshop. I’ll walk you step-by-step through the same Monetization Blueprint I use in my own business to help you identify your best revenue opportunities and build a clear, practical 30-day action plan. You’ll be able to ask your specific questions and get real-time feedback so you leave with clarity, confidence, and a next step.

It’s limited to just 25 people, and we’re already halfway sold out!

If it feels like the right next step for you, you can learn more at LouMongello.com/Monetize.

🎤 Speaking, Coaching, and Momentum

If you - or someone you know - is looking for a keynote speaker who shares real, practical lessons from the Disney Parks about leadership, customer experience, and community, I’d be grateful for the introduction.

And as we head further into 2026, there are more Momentum events on the calendar - workshops, retreats, and opportunities to go deeper. If you’re ready for 1:1 coaching, or you want help turning what you love into what you do, you can learn more at LouMongello.com.

🔴 Join Me LIVE – Wednesday at 7:30 pm ET

Come hang out with me and the WDW Radio family this Wednesday - and every Wednesday - at 7:30 pm ET. This week, I'll be live from somewhere at sea... and on a very different type of cruise! Watch and chat on Facebook or YouTube.

😳 Stay Tuned…

There’s a LOT happening behind the scenes right now. New ideas. New projects. Some things I’ve been thinking about for a long time. They’re coming together quickly… and I can’t wait to share what’s next with you. For now, I’ll get back to working on... a few things... and I'll let you get back to your day.

Most of all… thank you. None of this happens without you. Whether we’ve met in person yet or not, you are part of this community and family - and you are my friend.

Thank you for your trust, your time, and your support. I appreciate you more than I can say.

Your friend,

Lou Mongello 💙
