This week, we're back from several days away, and very excited to tell you all about it. It was planned as a whirlwind land & sea vacation with a 5-night Disney Cruise followed by 2 nights each with Club Level rooms at Disney's Polynesian Village and Animal Kingdom Resorts. However, things don't always go as planned as we tell you as we recap The Highs & Lows From Our January Disney Vacation. We'll discuss how and why things went quite wrong for us near the end. More importantly, we share our amazing experiences that keep us coming back to Disney time and again even when things don't go perfectly.

Disney News Stories of the Week

Once we complete the recap of The Highs & Lows From Our January Disney Vacation, it's time for the Disney Stories of the Week. In this episode, we share details about the wide array of new Summer 2026 itineraries released by Disney Cruise Line this week. We also share when you'll have your last chance to experience a very "buggy" show at Disney's Animal Kingdom. And we express our excitement for a Star Wars icon who appears ready to debut in Disney Parks.

You'll also get this week's Lin Manuel Miranda tidbit as we continue our journey through "The Year of Lin"!
