This week on Geekin' on Walt Disney World, I'm joined by two good friends from the Disney podcasting world — Scott and Karen from the Mickeyphile Podcast — for one of those conversations that feels like hanging out in the parks with your Disney pals. We start with a fun day we shared together at Epcot, including time relaxing in the DVC lounge above Figment, catching some live music, and getting a special early look at Soarin' Over America. And yes… there were gasps. Big ones. Scott and Karen bring a ton of Disney experience to the table. They're in the parks often, Scott is a cast member, Karen is deep into the travel planning world, and together they have that perfect mix of Disney knowledge, food opinions, cruise love, and geeky little details that make these conversations so much fun. Planning a Disney Vacation? If you're thinking about planning your next Disney vacation and some Epic Universe… My wife Margita and our good friend Auntie Judy are the Travelin' Tiaras — your trusted Disney travel planners. Whether you're booking Walt Disney World, Disneyland, Disney Cruise Line, Universal, or beyond, they'll help you plan a smart, stress-free vacation from start to finish. Already booked?

In This Episode We talk about: Our spoiler-light reactions to Soarin' Over America Why the DVC lounges are such a great hidden perk Favorite current Disney experiences, including BoardWalk, Chefs de France, Citricos, and fireworks cruises Underrated gems like Tiffins, PeopleMover, Little Mermaid, and the Fort Wilderness Segway tour What cast members do behind the scenes to create unexpected magical moments Why Disney Cruise Line feels like “Disney at its best” Palo brunch, cruise fireworks, ship horns, and emotional embarkation moments Planning advice from Karen, including why flexibility matters and why choosing a resort only by price can backfire One of my favorite parts of the episode is hearing Scott talk about cast member pixie dust — those little surprise moments that can turn a guest's day completely around. We also get into what cast members appreciate from guests, and it's a really sweet reminder that kindness goes both ways in Disney World. Then the conversation shifts into Disney Cruise Line, and you can hear how much Scott and Karen love that experience. From Palo brunch to fireworks at sea to the moment your family name is announced when you board the ship, they explain why cruising with Disney hits people emotionally in a way that's hard to describe until you've done it. But the heart of the episode comes near the end. Karen shares that Disney is the place that helps her forget about everything else for a while — the place that brings her true happiness. And I think a lot of us Disney Geeks understand that feeling. It's not always about riding every ride or having the perfect plan. Sometimes it's sitting on a balcony at BoardWalk while it rains. Sometimes it's hearing the Disney Cruise Line horn. Sometimes it's walking under the Disney World sign and feeling your shoulders drop. And sometimes it's just spending time with friends who get it.

Sometimes the best Disney vacations aren’t about doing more. They’re about slowing down. This week on the Geekin’ on Walt Disney World Podcast, I’m joined by longtime Disney Geek and friend Jen Batchelder as she shares her recent mother-daughter sailing aboard the Disney Fantasy.

And it’s about those simple moments—sharing coffee on a balcony, watching the sunrise over the ocean, and laughing together—that become the memories we treasure most.

After more than 20 years away from Universal Orlando, I finally returned to experience the much-talked-about Epic Universe—and wow, what a trip it was.

But after spending time at both destinations on the same trip, I was reminded why Walt Disney World continues to hold a special place in my heart.

Send us Fan MailJudaline Cassidy's journey began in Diego Martin, Trinidad, where she grew up facing poverty, abandonment, and countless obstacles. Unable to afford university, she made a decision that would change the course of her life forever—she enrolled in plumbing at the John Donaldson Technical Institute.What followed was an extraordinary journey from Trinidad to New York City, where Judaline became one of the first women in her union, built a successful career in the skilled trades, and founded Tools & Tiaras, a nonprofit that empowers young girls through trade skills, confidence-building, and leadership development.In this episode, Judaline shares powerful stories about growing up without her parents, finding strength through her great-grandmother's guidance, overcoming discrimination as a Black immigrant woman in construction, and why she believes skilled trades can transform lives.We also discuss the importance of trade education, the future of work, the rise of AI, confidence, resilience, and why every young person should learn a skill that can take them anywhere in the world.Topics include:• Growing up in Diego Martin• John Donaldson Technical Institute• Life as a female plumber in New York• Becoming the first woman in her union• Trade school vs university• Building Tools & Tiaras• Confidence, grit and resilience• Women in construction and skilled trades• Entrepreneurship and leadership• Creating opportunities for the next generationJudaline's story is a powerful reminder that where you start does not determine where you finish.

Some books are written to impress people.This one was written to move people.In this solo episode of Tradeswomen Talk.I'm sharing the story behind my book, Conceive It. Believe It. And Then Do That Sht!t why I wrote it, what it cost me to tell the truth, and what I hope readers take away from every page.This isn't a book about being extraordinary. It's a book about what happens when ordinary people stop waiting for permission and start betting on themselves.From growing up in Trinidad to becoming a union plumber in New York City, from cleaning houses and working as a nanny to founding Tools & Tiaras, writing books, and building a movement that has impacted thousands of girls, my journey has been filled with setbacks, detours, rejection, and moments when quitting would have been easier.But I've learned something along the way:Dreams don't work because you have talent.Dreams work because you do.In this episode, I talk about the difference between wishing and believing, why action is the missing ingredient in so many people's lives, and how grit has carried me further than confidence ever could.If you've been sitting on an idea, a business, a career change, a creative project, or a dream that's been whispering to you for years, this conversation is for you.Because the truth is, most people don't fail because they aren't capable.They fail because they never begin.So consider this your nudge. Your push. Your loving Caribbean auntie-style kick in the pants.Conceive it.Believe it.And then do that sh!t!

Hey Disney Geeks! This week, Curtis is joined once again by one of our favorite members of the Geekin' family — Kayleen — as she shares a Walt Disney World trip report from a rare just-the-two-of-them Disney vacation with her husband Scott. This trip had a little bit of everything we love around here… Rope drop strategy Split-stay resort talk Disney food and drinks Animal Kingdom stories Magic Kingdom nostalgia Lounge reviews And that classic Disney Geek energy where “relaxing” somehow still means walking 10 miles a day. Kayleen and Scott stayed at both Old Key West and Animal Kingdom Lodge Kidani Village, tried several new experiences, and packed a TON into this couples getaway.

These two are: First bus people Rope drop people Lightning Lane people “Let's cross the park four times today” people Their Magic Kingdom strategy includes: Rope dropping Space Mountain Pirates multiple times Haunted Mansion multiple times Tron via Lightning Lane Tiana's Bayou Adventure Seven Dwarfs Mine Train And averaging roughly TEN MILES of walking per day That's elite Disney Geek behavior right there. Disney Food & Drinks Talk As always… we geek out HARD over food. This episode includes discussion about: Summer House on the Lake Lavender Haze cocktails Tilefish specials Boma Wailulu Pecos Bill Columbia Harbor House lobster rolls Flower & Garden snacks And planning your meals around future meals because… yes… that's what Disney Geeks do. The Heart of the Episode What makes this episode especially fun is hearing how Disney changes during a couples-only trip. It's slower in some ways… Faster in others… And full of those little moments where longtime Disney fans realize: “Yep… this is OUR kind of Disney trip.” There's also a lot of nostalgia here… From Main Street feelings… To memories of early Disney vacations… To conversations about classic attractions and reimagined favorites.

This week on the Geekin' on Walt Disney World Podcast, we're lacing up the running shoes, grabbing a beignet, and heading into a Disney trip that started with runDisney Springtime Surprise weekend — but quickly became about so much more than miles and medals. Curtis is joined by three Geekin' family favorites — Holly, Laura, and Heidi — for a fun, relaxed, and very Disney Geek-style trip report filled with race stories, resort time, lounges, surprise meetups, food talk, cruise talk, and one unforgettable green wig. Because when Holly shows up dressed as Disgust from Inside Out for a runDisney race, you know we're off to a good start. Planning Your Next Disney Adventure? If you're thinking about planning your next Disney vacation and some Epic Universe… My wife Margita and our good friend Auntie Judy are the Travelin' Tiaras — your trusted Disney travel planners. Whether you're booking Walt Disney World, Disneyland, Disney Cruise Line, Universal, or beyond… They'll help you plan a smart, stress-free vacation from start to finish. Already booked? You can transfer your reservation to us and still get expert tips, strategy, and support — and it's a great way to support the show. TravelinTiaras@gmail.com Or reach out on Facebook Messenger. And right now… there are great opportunities for upcoming travel, so it's a perfect time to start planning. Featuring This Week This episode includes: Holly, Laura, and Heidi sharing their runDisney Springtime Surprise weekend A stay at Coronado Springs and a solo stay at Port Orleans French Quarter A 10-miler, a 10K, costumes, character stops, and race-day nerves Surprise Geek meetups with Samantha, Selena, Tori, Joe, and more Food and drink stops at Le Cellier, Nomad Lounge, GEO-82, Beak and Barrel, Homecoming, and Sangria University Flower and Garden Festival bites, beignets, maple popcorn, and more Thoughts on newer Disney experiences like the Zootopia show, updated Buzz Lightyear, and Beak and Barrel A bonus cruise recap aboard Royal Caribbean's Utopia of the Seas RunDisney, Beignets, and Green Hair The episode kicks off with Holly wearing the green wig she used for her Disgust costume during the Springtime Surprise 10-Miler — which pretty much sets the tone for the whole conversation. Holly shares that she went into the race under-trained because of a shoulder injury and made it all the way to mile nine before being swept. But what stands out is her perspective. She knew it might happen, she pushed as far as she could, and she still came away with pride, humor, and yes… the medal. Laura brings the solo-trip energy with a stay at Port Orleans French Quarter, where she enjoyed a slower pace, pool time, peaceful resort moments, and plenty of beignets. She also shares one of the funniest race moments: dressing as a bee for the Winnie the Pooh-themed 10K and trying to drink yellow Gatorade from a hard plastic honey bear bottle mid-race. That's runDisney dedication right there. Heidi took a more relaxed race approach — stopping for characters, enjoying the course, and making memories along the way. Her character stops included Nick and Judy from Zootopia, Boba Fett, Woody and Bo Peep, and Bing Bong. Some people chase personal records. Some people chase character photos. Both are absolutely valid. The Geekin' Family Shows Up One of the best parts of this episode is how the Geekin' family keeps popping into the trip. Holly and Corey meet up with Tori and Joe at Yeehaw Bob over at Port Orleans Riverside — and then get surprised when Samantha and Selena walk in. Later, Heidi gets her own surprise. And Laura talks about that feeling of traveling solo, making it through the expo chaos, and then suddenly seeing “her people” at Nomad Lounge. That's the heart of this episode. Yes, it's a trip report. But underneath the races, snacks, lounges, and Disney details is that bigger feeling we talk about all the time: Disney is better when you've found your people. Food, Lounges, and Disney Geek Favorites Of course, this wouldn't be a Geekin' trip report without food. Holly and Corey enjoyed Le Cellier, including cheddar cheese soup, pretzel bread, filet, and an ice wine flight. Laura sampled tanghulu at the China booth, maple popcorn in Canada, jambalaya at French Quarter, and the crème brûlée croissant at Gaston's. Heidi had several Flower and Garden Festival hits, including duck in France, Caribbean-style chicken, flan, and a fish slider. The lounge talk is strong in this one too. Nomad Lounge remains a Geek favorite for its cozy seating, small plates, drinks, and Animal Kingdom atmosphere. GEO-82 gets praise for cocktails and mushroom flatbread. And Beak and Barrel sparks a fun comparison to Oga's Cantina and Trader Sam's — lots to look at, some cool effects, and maybe one of those places that grows on you over time. New Disney Experiences and a Cruise Bonus The group also shares thoughts on a few newer Disney experiences. Heidi talks about the new Zootopia show at Animal Kingdom and whether it really fits the deeper theme of the park. Laura gives her take on the updated Buzz Lightyear, including the new removable blasters and the joy of feeling like a Space Ranger… even when the score says otherwise. And after the Disney portion of the trip, Holly, Corey, Heidi, and Missy headed out on Royal Caribbean's Utopia of the Seas for a four-night cruise — complete with big-ship entertainment, shows, skating, surfing, ziplining, and a water show set to '80s music. The Real Heart of the Episode The best part of this conversation is not just the race. It's not just the snacks. It's not just the lounges. It's the people. It's the surprise visits. It's the inside jokes. It's the ride photos. It's that feeling of seeing friends you may only get to see a few times a year — but when you do, it feels like a reunion. That's the Geekin' family. And that's why these trip reports always mean a little more than just “here's what we did.” They're stories about connection.

What happens when you mix… A surprise resort upgrade… A once-in-a-lifetime concert at Epcot… Spring break crowds… Rainstorms… And a six-year-old who just gets Disney magic? You get one unforgettable story. This week on the Geekin' on Walt Disney World Podcast, Curtis catches up with Lindsay Velecina— A longtime member of the Geekin' family— Who brings not one… But two completely different Disney trips to the table. And somehow… They both end up pointing to the same thing. Travelin' Tiaras — Your Planning Advantage Before we jump in—if you're thinking about planning your next Disney trip… Curtis' wife Margita and Auntie Judy are the Travelin' Tiaras—your trusted Disney travel planners. They'll help you plan a smart, stress-free vacation tailored to your family. Already booked?

TravelinTiaras@gmail.comOr reach out on Facebook Messenger And right now… there are great opportunities for upcoming travel, so it's a perfect time to start planning. Featuring This Week's Episode Lindsay shares two trips: A November getaway with family, built around seeing the Beach Boys at Epcot A spring break trip with her husband Ryan and son Henry—right in the middle of peak crowds Two very different experiences… But both packed with moments you'll recognize if you've ever done Disney. When Disney Turns Into Total Pandemonium The November trip started with what felt like a little Disney magic… A surprise upgrade to Port Orleans Riverside A last-minute dining reservation score And a plan to celebrate family milestones with a Beach Boys concert But once they got to Epcot? Absolute chaos. Crowds so intense they had to form a human chain just to move. Cast Members saying it felt worse than New Year's Eve. And yet… The energy… the excitement… the shared experience… Still made it worth it. Because sometimes Disney is messy. And still magical. Spring Break, Rainstorms… and Real-Life Disney Then came the spring break trip. And this one? Packed parks Long waits Unexpected cold weather And multiple nights of heavy rain Not exactly the “perfect” Disney conditions. But here's what stood out… They adjusted. They slowed down. They picked their moments. And instead of chasing everything… They focused on what mattered. The Food Hits (and Misses) This episode is loaded with food talk—and some surprises. Standouts included: Nine Dragons (yes… really ) Beaches & Cream classics Festival food favorites like frushi and poke bowls And a must-try brownie + cookie dough ice cream sandwich And then… Not everything hit. Ohana didn't live up to expectations this time. Which is a great reminder— Even Disney favorites can be hit or miss. The Unexpected Moments And then… the stories. Because this episode is FULL of them: A squirrel breaking into their backpack and stealing a cookie Spotting Jimmy Fallon casually grabbing food in the park Riding out storms and pivoting plans on the fly Finding ways to make the best of unpredictable days But the best one? A glow stick party in the hotel room. Simple. Unplanned. And one of the most memorable moments of the entire trip. The Real Magic of This Trip Here's what makes this episode special. It wasn't the rides. It wasn't the reservations. It wasn't even the big moments. It was Henry. Six years old… Fully immersed… Happy the entire trip. No meltdowns. No burnout. Just pure joy. And for Lindsay and her family? That made this their best trip yet. Even with crowds. Even with rain. Even with everything that didn't go perfectly. What This Episode Teaches Us If there's one takeaway from this episode, it's this: Disney doesn't have to be perfect to be amazing. In fact… Sometimes the trips that don't go according to plan— End up being the ones you remember most. Because when you stop chasing the “perfect” trip… You make room for: Flexibility Connection Laughter And those unexpected moments that just happen Join the Geekin' Community Want to share your own Disney stories?

We Started With One Question… What Is Disney World Really? If you've ever thought about planning a trip to Walt Disney World and immediately felt overwhelmed… You're not alone. And honestly—that's exactly why this episode exists. This week on the Geekin' on Walt Disney World Podcast, Curtis sits down with his longtime friend Joe… A self-proclaimed Disney novice. He's been once. He's got questions. And he's asking the same things so many people are thinking: Is Disney just for kids? How big is it really? How much does this actually cost? And how do I even begin planning something like this? What unfolds is more than just a Q&A… It's the start of something bigger. A brand new Geekin' Family Masterclass Series designed to help anyone—from total beginners to seasoned Disney fans—plan smarter, stress less, and enjoy more. Travelin' Tiaras — Your Planning Partner If this episode gets you thinking about planning your own Disney trip… You don't have to figure it all out alone. Curtis' wife Margita and their good friend Auntie Judy are the Travelin' Tiaras—trusted Disney travel planners who help take the stress out of the process. Whether you’re heading to Walt Disney World, Disneyland, Disney Cruise Line, Universal, or beyond… They'll help you build a smart, personalized plan from start to finish. Already booked? You can transfer your reservation to them and still get expert support—and it's a great way to support the podcast. TravelinTiaras@gmail.comOr connect on Facebook Messenger And right now… there are some great opportunities for upcoming travel, making it a perfect time to start planning. Featuring This Week's Conversation This episode is all about going back to basics—but in the best way possible. What is Disney World, really? Why do so many people get overwhelmed before they even go? And what actually matters when you're planning your first trip? Joe brings the curiosity… Curt brings the experience… And together, they break it all down in a way that's simple, practical, and honestly… kind of eye-opening. It's Not a Theme Park… It's a Whole Different World One of the biggest takeaways? Disney World isn't what most people think it is. It's not just Magic Kingdom. It's not just rides. It's not even just a vacation destination. It's an entire 40-square-mile world—more like a city than a theme park . With: Four major theme parks Two water parks 25+ resorts Hundreds of dining options Transportation systems, entertainment districts, and more No wonder people feel overwhelmed. The Biggest Mistake First-Timers Make There are two extremes that show up again and again: No plan at all Way too much plan (hello, 3-ring binder) And both can lead to disappointment. The sweet spot? A plan… with flexibility. Curt calls it having the “bones of a plan”— Knowing where you're staying, which parks you're visiting, and a few must-do priorities… But leaving room for the moments that can't be scheduled. The “Geekin' Big Three” If you're starting from scratch, focus here first: When to go Where to stay What to eat Get these three things right… And you're already ahead of most people. From choosing the right time of year… To understanding why staying “in the Disney bubble” changes everything… To realizing that Disney is actually a foodie paradise… This episode lays the groundwork in a way that makes planning feel doable. What Success Actually Looks Like Here's the part that really hits. Because it's easy to think success means: Doing every ride Seeing every show Maximizing every dollar But that's not it. Not even close. The best Disney trips? They're the ones where you slow down enough to experience them. The moments people remember most aren't the rides. They're: Walking into Magic Kingdom for the first time Watching your kids meet a character Sitting together during fireworks Laughing at something totally unexpected Or even just… Being present. The Magic You Can't Plan This episode keeps coming back to one idea: The best moments at Disney are the ones you didn't plan. And that's the shift. Not just planning a trip… But allowing space for: Spontaneity Connection Joy And a little bit of that Disney magic Because you don't have to go find it. Sometimes… it finds you.

Sometimes the best Disney trips aren't the ones where you do the most… They're the ones where you finally slow down enough to feel it. This week on the podcast, I sat down with my longtime buddy Bubba—a true Geekin' family member—who came back to Walt Disney World after stepping away for a while… and had a trip that completely changed his perspective. And honestly… this one stuck with me. Planning a Trip?

And right now… there are great opportunities for upcoming travel, so it's a perfect time to start planning. Featuring Bubba Bubba has been part of this community for years—but this trip? This one was different. After going to Disney constantly for a stretch, he stepped away for a bit. And when he came back… everything felt new again. Not because the parks changed— But because he did. A Different Kind of Disney Trip This wasn't about rope dropping rides or stacking Lightning Lanes. This was about: Resort hopping at a relaxed pace Sitting in Adirondack chairs for 45 minutes doing absolutely nothing Trying new experiences like boating on Seven Seas Lagoon Enjoying quiet moments at places like Port Orleans French Quarter And that's where things started to shift. French Quarter—something he never expected to love—ended up being one of the highlights of the entire trip. Small. Peaceful. Walkable. Sometimes… that's all you need. Doing Less… and Getting More Here's the wild part: Bubba didn't even ride Guardians. Didn't ride Tron. Didn't chase every big attraction. And you know what? He didn't miss it. Instead, he leaned into: After Hours events to ride what mattered Unique experiences like Keys to the Kingdom Incredible food moments (yes… including that legendary cookie dough ice cream sandwich) And simply being present The Moment That Changed Everything But like always… the heart of the trip wasn't the rides. It was something deeper. During the trip, Bubba shared the story of losing his brother—the person who first introduced him to Disney through Beauty and the Beast. And then… one night… On a quiet carriage ride… They crested a hill just as Beauty and the Beast was ending across the water. Perfect timing. No planning. Just one of those moments. The kind that makes you stop and feel like… Maybe there's something more going on here. Why This Trip Meant More That moment set the tone for everything that followed. This trip became about: Connection Reflection Slowing down And appreciating where your Disney story began Because sometimes… Disney isn't about what you do. It's about what you feel while you're there. Final Thoughts This episode is a reminder that there's no “right way” to do Disney. You can go hard… Or you can slow it down… But if you're open to it— The magic will meet you where you are.

In Episode 662 of the Geekin' on Walt Disney World Podcast, I'm joined by one of our longtime Geeks — Kevin Curtis Allen — for Part 1 of an incredible three-week Walt Disney World trip report. And if you've been around this community for a while… You already know Kevin brings a unique perspective, great stories, and plenty of laughs every time he joins the show.

TravelinTiaras@gmail.com Featuring in This Episode (Part 1) A 3-Week Disney Adventure Kevin and Deborah's trip was built around something really special: Celebrating BOTH of their birthdays during the same trip A full 21 days / 21 nights in Florida A mix of relaxing time + Disney immersion This is Disney at a completely different pace. Resort Hopping & Strategy Kevin breaks down a smart split-stay approach: Old Key West (7 nights) Saratoga Springs (7 nights – home resort) Copper Creek at Wilderness Lodge (final 3 nights) And shares some real-world insights like: Why Old Key West surprised him (location + walking path) How Saratoga's layout actually works once you understand it Why that final resort stay at Wilderness Lodge feels like a “reward” at the end Hidden Gem: Walking to Disney Springs One of the best tips in this episode: The Old Key West nature walk to Disney Springs About a half-mile walk Scenic river views Connects directly to Saratoga Springs and Disney Springs A simple thing… but a huge upgrade to how you experience the resort. DVC Real Talk (After 10 Years) Kevin brings a ton of value here: Owning DVC for nearly a decade Why he says it has “paid for itself time and time again” The realities of buying resale vs. today's prices How he uses points to maximize longer stays If you've ever considered DVC — this is real, honest insight. February at Disney… Isn't What You Think One of the biggest surprises of the trip: The weather Cold mornings and evenings Wearing jackets in the parks Big temperature swings throughout the trip And maybe even more surprising… The crowds Kevin makes a great point:There really isn't a “slow season” anymore. Geek Meet & Disney Coincidences This is where the magic of the community shows up… Running into friends all over property Meeting up without even planning it And one incredible moment: Talking about meeting someone in the past… Turning around… And they're sitting right there again That's Disney magic you just can't plan. Kevin's Food Reviews (Unfiltered ) You knew this was coming… Highlights include: The Boathouse Great food… but pricey “Thimble-sized” sliders for $26 Cake Bake Shop Beautiful… but overpriced Honest take: not worth the hype Big takeaway: Portion size vs. value matters more than ever Shout-Out & Wrap-Up Kevin — This is exactly what the show is all about. Not just Disney tips… But hearing how trips evolve over time…How traditions build…And how Disney becomes part of your life story. And the best part? We're just getting started. Coming Next Week… In Part 2, we'll dive into: More Geek meet moments More park stories More food takes (you've been warned ) And even more of what makes these trips so special Join the Community Have you ever taken a longer Disney trip — like 2–3 weeks — and experienced the parks in a totally different way?

There's something really special about seeing Walt Disney World through fresh eyes… And in Episode 661 of the Geekin' on Walt Disney World Podcast, we get to do exactly that. This week, I'm joined by Nick and Carlin — who just wrapped up an incredible 19-day Disney trip with their seven-month-old twins, Simon and Wiley Jean. And let me tell you… These two may have been the most popular Geeks at the entire meetup weekend This episode is about more than just a trip report… It's about family, perspective, and what Disney means across generations. Travelin' Tiaras — Plan Your Next Disney Trip If you're thinking about planning your next Disney vacation… My wife Margita and our good friend Auntie Judy are the Travelin' Tiaras — your trusted Disney travel planners. Whether you're booking Walt Disney World, Disneyland, Disney Cruise Line, Universal, or beyond — they'll help you plan a smart, stress-free vacation from start to finish. Already booked?

TravelinTiaras@gmail.com Bonus: There are some great Summer travel discounts available right now, so it's a perfect time to start planning! Resort Hopping with Twins Nick and Carlin stayed at multiple resorts during their trip, each offering something different: All-Star Movies – a great value option (but tight with twins!) Pop Century – perfect for Skyliner access with a stroller Coronado Springs (Club Level) – upgraded to a one-bedroom suite with cribs (major win!) Caribbean Beach – great location, but a reminder to request first floor rooms with strollers One big takeaway:If you're traveling with little ones, space + convenience matters more than ever. Dining Highlights They had some fantastic meals (and a few honest takes): Standout Experiences Narcoossee's – fireworks views + great food Topolino's Terrace – a must-do (especially the sole + escargot!) Crystal Palace – surprisingly great food + amazing character interactions Yak & Yeti (to-go!) – tuna nachos + margaritas by the water Honest Reviews Chef Mickey's – fun for characters, not for the food Summer House on the Lake – beautiful, but still searching for that “wow” meal Traveling to Disney with Infants (Real Tips) This is where the episode really shines. Nick and Carlin share real-world tips from doing Disney with twins: Pre-pack and organize your stroller setup Bring MORE supplies than you think (especially pacifiers!) Use rider swap — but know it works differently at each ride Take advantage of Disney's baby amenities (cribs, pack & plays, etc.) Consider room size — family suites can be game changers Don't overplan — flexibility is everything One big insight: Disney might actually be one of the easiest places to travel with babies — because of how accommodating everything is. Favorite Moments from the Trip There were so many special moments, but a few really stood out: Seeing the twins react to characters for the first time A magical fireworks moment from the hub grass after park close A sunset safari with a roaring lion at Animal Kingdom Watching the babies take in shows like Festival of the Lion King That first “Disney awareness” moment — when everything starts clicking And for me personally… Holding Wiley during the trip and thinking about my upcoming granddaughter… That was a moment I won't forget. What This Trip Was Really About This episode isn't just about traveling with kids. It's about something bigger. It's about: Seeing Disney through a new lens Creating memories that come full circle And realizing that this experience keeps evolving through every stage of life As Nick said… These might be moments the kids won't remember… But we will. Share Your Story Have you ever experienced Disney in a totally new way? Maybe: With your kids for the first time With your grandkids Or watching someone else fall in love with Disney I'd love to hear your story!

In Episode 660 of the Geekin' on Walt Disney World Podcast, we're back with Part 2 of our Geek meetup weekend — and this is where the trip really comes to life. If Part 1 was about getting everyone together… Part 2 is about what happens when this community is fully in motion. From a full-scale Epcot scavenger hunt… to late-night adventures… to unforgettable emotional moments — this episode captures what makes these Geek meetups so special.

In Episode 660 of the Geekin' on Walt Disney World Podcast, we're back with Part 2 of our Geek meetup weekend — and this is where the trip really comes to life. If Part 1 was about getting everyone together… Part 2 is about what happens when this community is fully in motion. From a full-scale Epcot scavenger hunt… to late-night adventures… to unforgettable emotional moments — this episode captures what makes these Geek meetups so special. The Scavenger Hunt That Took Over Epcot Saturday was the big day. Dan put together an incredibly detailed custom scavenger hunt that had teams of Geeks running all around Epcot solving clues, completing challenges, and hunting down… ducks. Yes — ducks. Teams used a web-based app with geolocation Clues ranged from easy finds to deep Disney details Bonus points came from hidden “duck nests” And a live leaderboard kept the competition intense What made it even cooler? Dan's son Matt was running “command center” from home, verifying answers in real time and tracking scores. It wasn't just a game — it was an experience, and one that brought everyone together in a really unique way. Great Food, Drinks, and Disney Detours As always… no Geek meetup is complete without some incredible food stops along the way: 50's Prime Time Café – classic comfort food and hilarious server interactions Baseline Tap House – a perfect hangout spot for Geeks to regroup GEO-82 – charcuterie, bourbon flights, and elevated lounge vibes Three Bridges at Coronado – continuing the unofficial “burger challenge” And for some of the group… A truly unique experience at the Epilogue Speakeasy inside the Four Seasons, featuring: Hidden entrance and immersive storytelling Florida-inspired craft cocktails A full-on “experience” — not just drinks Meanwhile, others enjoyed a private Epcot fireworks cruise, proving once again that there's no “one way” to do Disney. The Moments That Matter Most And this is where the episode really hits home. Because beyond the rides, food, and planning… This trip was about people. Curtis shares a powerful moment reflecting on: The friendships built over 12+ years of the podcast Meeting listeners who have become real-life friends And even witnessing a meaningful, almost “meant-to-be” reunion between community members There were also quieter, personal moments: Holding a baby and thinking about becoming a grandfather Seeing how welcoming and supportive this community is to new members Watching complete strangers become fast friends over a shared Disney love These are the moments that don't show up on a park map… but define the trip. One Last Disney Day Before heading home, the group squeezed in one more day: Animal Kingdom adventures First-time experiences like Festival of the Lion King Snacks at Nomad Lounge and Satuli Canteen Final meals at Homecomin' and Brown Derby And just like that… Another incredible Geek weekend came to a close. Final Thoughts This episode is a perfect reminder that: Disney trips aren't just about rides… They're about connection, community, and shared experiences. What started as a podcast has grown into something much bigger: A group of people who show up for each other A place where friendships are formed And a community that continues to grow, one trip at a time Ready to Plan Your Own Disney Adventure?

Leadership isn't handed to you.It's earned.In this episode, Maria Ford and I go beyond titles and talk about the real foundation of next-level leadership, discipline, accountability, and the courage to lead with vulnerability.Yes, vulnerability.Because strength isn't pretending you have all the answers.It's being honest enough to grow, adjust, and lead people,  not just manage outcomes.We dive into:• What “earned, not given” looks like in real time• Why vulnerability is a leadership advantage, not a weakness• The discipline behind high-performance standards• How to lead under pressure without losing yourself• And why industry responsibility mattersWe also talk about the role companies like DeWalt play in shaping the future, empowering the next generation to confidently pick up tools, see themselves in the trades, and step into spaces that once felt out of reach.Because leadership isn't just about today's results.It's about who we're building up for tomorrow.This episode is for the leaders who understand:You don't demand respect.You earn it.And once you earn it, you use it to open doors for someone else.Listen in. Reflect. Then ask yourself — are you just holding a position… or are you building a legacy?Personal: https://www.linkedin.com/in/maria-ford-658a7a2?utm_source=share_via&utm_content=profile&utm_medium=member_iosWebsite: https://www.dewalt.com/growthetradesTools & Tiaras Merch:https://tools-and-tiaras.myshopify.com/Donate to Tools &Tiaras:  https://bit.ly/3fmBZQBBook Conceive It Believe It And Then Do That Sh!T:https://amzn.to/4o0l34tStan Store:https://stan.store/MissJudalineIf you enjoy our podcast, would you please consider leaving a short review and rating on Apple Podcasts/iTunes?

What does real leadership look like in the trades when the title comes off and the responsibility stays on?In this episode of Tradeswomen Talk, we sit down with Kevin Khemraj, Vice President of Welkin Mechanical, for a powerful conversation about the kind of leadership that doesn't need to be loud to be felt. The kind that builds strong teams, earns respect in the field, and creates space for others to rise.Kevin shares his journey from engineer to executive and the lessons learned in high-pressure rooms, on complex projects, and in the everyday moments where trust is either built, or broken. We talk about accountability, making hard decisions, mentoring the next generation, and why the best leaders are the ones still willing to listen.This episode isn't just for people with a title.It's for anyone who leads a crew, a project, a classroom, or is preparing to step into their next level.Because leadership in the trades isn't about ego.It's about impact.So whether you're on the train, in the truck, on the job, or home winding down, it time to lock in. Personal: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kevin-khemraj-59b73a9a/Website: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kevin-khemraj-59b73a9a/Tools & Tiaras Merch:https://tools-and-tiaras.myshopify.com/Donate to Tools &Tiaras:  https://bit.ly/3fmBZQBBook Conceive It Believe It And Then Do That Sh!T:https://amzn.to/4o0l34tStan Store:https://stan.store/MissJudalineIf you enjoy our podcast, would you please consider leaving a short review and rating on Apple Podcasts/iTunes?

Tiara Tuesday has quickly become one of the most exciting days of the week, and an opportunity to delve deep into the history of tiaras and all kinds of headwear. Despite making dozens of tiara videos, we have never actually discussed the history, styles, and etiquette of tiaras! Let's dive a bit deeper into the sparkling, ornate head jewelry we all love so much.

Alana Thompson, better known to the world as Honey Boo Boo, broke through on “Toddlers and Tiaras” at the age of six, which led to her family life being chronicled on the hit Reality TV series, “Here Comes Honey Boo Boo.” In a new biopic called “I Was Honey Boo Boo” (premiering on Lifetime on May 17th at 8/7c), Alana herself narrates a fascinating recreation played by actors, and details the cycle of pain brought on by her Mama June's extreme penchant for men, money, drugs and fame; the lack of supervision she had protecting her finances; her dreams of going to college for nursing, and the important role her sister played in raising her.

She's the star witness in the sex crimes trial of hip hop mogul Sean 'Diddy' Combs and today Cassie Ventura was back on the witness stand telling the jury about so called freak off parties she says she was forced to participate in with paid sex workers. And in a stunning twist, she testified that one of those escorts is the same man awaiting trial for shooting at President Trump's Miami Golf Club. Combs has pleaded not guilty. And Lyle and Erik Menendez are eligible for parole... immediately. In a surprisingly fast ruling, a California judge resentenced the two brothers to 50 years to life for the 1989 murders of their parents. They had been sentenced to life without parole.  Plus, President Trump continues to get the royal treatment in the Middle East. He's now in Qatar, the nation offering him a 400-million-dollar plane. The president was so impressed by the marble inside one palace, he called it 'perfecto.'  And she became a household name as a little beauty queen on 'Toddlers and Tiaras.'  Now Honey Boo Boo is 19 years old, and her life is being portrayed in a lifetime movie.   To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

You can't be a King without the bling, and you can't be a Queen without the sheen. Royal women have long donning glittering headgear to make them stand out from the crowd. Tiaras are works of art and are fitted with pricey diamonds, pearls and other precious stones. As these heirlooms are often passed down female family lines it is fascinating to see how they bounced across Europe with royal brides. Today, let's gawk at 7 of the most impressive and historic European royal Tiaras.
