We're throwing on our festive gear and stepping into the holiday spotlight to answer one big question—which Disney after-hours party is the best of the season? Is it the spooky fun of Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, the cozy charm of Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party, or the retro glitz of Jollywood Nights at Hollywood Studios?We're going head-to-head-to-head as we break these parties down across multiple categories—everything from entertainment and character sightings to food, vibes, crowd levels, and overall value. We're each casting our votes in every round, sharing our thoughts (and probably disagreeing a few times), and by the end, we're crowning our pick for the top Disney holiday party of the year.If we're being honest, we know some of you are debating which one to attend—and some of you are just planning to hit all three. Either way, we've got you covered.So we're grabbing our trick-or-treat bag, our Santa hats, and maybe a sparkly blazer or two, and we're inviting you to join us for the ultimate festive face-off!MEI-Travel – Expertise.

I'm joined by a very special guest—my daughter Kailyn—as we recap a whirlwind Disney weekend full of sun, snacks, and some serious theme park hustle.Kailyn hadn't stepped foot in the 4 Walt Disney World parks since Thanksgiving of 2023—and before that, Christmas 2022. But rewind a bit further, and she was basically raised at Disney. As a longtime Annual Passholder, she spent years visiting once or twice a month with us, until both kids eventually hit that wall a lot of families know all too well: Disney burnout. So they let their passes go, took a step back… and just like that, a new chapter began.But this past weekend, we opened the book again. On Thursday, it was off to Typhoon Lagoon for a splash-filled day of water slides, waves, and lazy rivers. Then we cleaned up and headed to Disney Springs for shopping and dinner at Wailulu Bar & Grill. (Spoiler: we'll be talking about poke bowls, fish, and tattoos.)And then came Friday—a 16-hour park day that took us to EPCOT, Hollywood Studios, and Magic Kingdom and packed in 20 attractions. We're talking thrill rides, strategy, food fuel, and some genuine moments of rediscovering the magic.You'll hear Kailyn's honest take on what it was like coming back after nearly two years away, how the parks felt different, and what moments reminded her why she used to love it in the first place.This is a special one for us—a dad-daughter Disney trip with laughs, nostalgia, and a whole lot of fun.MEI-Travel – Expertise.

We're taking you along on a whirlwind couple of days at Walt Disney World—complete with friends, food, drinks, and a few unexpected twists (including a surprise snake sighting near the Skyliner… yep, that happened).We kicked things off with snacks and sips at Bar Riva to see some Cast Member friends alongside our good friends Lucie and Caleb, and the fun just kept rolling from there. We did a little shopping in Pandora (yes, we bought rings), used an Individual Lightning Lane for Cosmic Rewind, and bounced around resorts chasing dinner plans from California Grill to Steakhouse 71 to Three Bridges—where we finally found our perfect Plan C, great food, and some awesome cast member interactions.We also squeezed in some magic at Magic Kingdom to ride Haunted Mansion, placed a special hat embroidery order, and spent a rainy afternoon at Disney Springs catching up, indulging in Salt & Straw, and hiding out at Jock Lindsey's. The trip wrapped up with poolside snacks at Siestas, an evening at Dahlia Lounge, and a final stop at Jeff's Bagels on the way home—because you know we weren't leaving without breakfast handled.It was a trip full of laughs, detours, and Disney magic, and we can't wait to share it with you.MEI-Travel – Expertise.

We're stepping outside the Disney bubble and heading deep into the heart of Texas for an unforgettable trip to Austin. That's right—we swapped MagicBands for cowboy boots and spent the weekend soaking up everything Austin has to offer, from mouthwatering food to meaningful moments.We're talking Michelin-starred barbecue brisket that melts in your mouth, spicy chicken from a food truck named Spicy Boys, an incredible cowgirl hat experience at Kendra Scott's Yellow Rose boutique, and a dive bar that turned out to be surprisingly sober-friendly. Plus, opening up about a powerful personal milestone—reaching 475 days of sobriety—and how a three-hour Blue October concert helped finally deliver the clarity.Whether it's floating in freezing cold Barton Springs, indulging in gourmet ice cream, or spotting a puppy in an Uber, this was a weekend filled with unexpected joy, emotional growth, and plenty of laughter. So if you're looking for an inspiring, delicious, and downright weird adventure beyond the theme parks, grab your hat (and maybe a churro for comfort) and come along for the ride!MEI-Travel – Expertise.

We're taking a delicious deep dive into the snack scene at Disney Springs to determine which treats are truly worth your time, money, and appetite. With so many tempting options, we're breaking them down by taste, value, portion size, and uniqueness to see which ones deserve a resounding “Eat it!” and which you may want to “Beat it!”We kick things off at Swirls on the Water with the DOLE Whip Flight—a $7.99 trio that serves up a sampler-sized portion of Disney's most iconic soft-serve in playful, unique swirls like banana and salted caramel or mint chocolate, all with fun toppings. Then we hit the heavyweight champion of cookies at Gideon's Bakehouse, where the limited-time White Chocolate Macadamia Nut cookie clocks in at nearly half a pound and over 24 hours of prep time, offering rich flavor and chewy-crispy contrast.From there, it's on to Sprinkles for a fresh cupcake delivered from their famous ATM, and then we hop over to The Daily Poutine, where $10.49 gets you a hot, hearty portion of Canadian-style comfort food—fries, gravy, and cheddar curds that are perfect for sharing. Summer House offers up a gooey cookie bar that's just as pretty as it is tasty, while Chicken Guy delivers classic tenders with a sauce-sampling twist that brings the flavor (and a bit of Food Network flair).We wrap with Homecomin's beloved Momma's Mac and Cheese, Morimoto Asia's sticky-sweet spare ribs, Everglazed's pillowy doughnuts, and the wildly inventive small-batch ice creams from Salt & Straw—think strawberry balsamic or honey lavender atop a crisp waffle cone.Whether you're strolling the Springs for a quick bite or plotting a full-on snack crawl, this episode is your go-to guide for the tastiest (and most interesting) stops along the way.MEI-Travel – Expertise.

We're going completely off script—no notes, no prep, just pure pizza passion! Join us as we improv our way through our top five places to grab a slice (or a whole pie) at Walt Disney World, based on a mix of taste, value, portion size, and accessibility.
