Today we head out to the Disneyland Resort with Listener Jenna from Washington state to discuss her trip just a few weeks ago over President’s Day Weekend! We discuss how travel at the airports is rough when traveling over Spring Break, first-day aspirations that can be a bit too much, dining at Blue Bayou, Fantasmic, using Genie Plus, what happens when a child gets sick during the trip, and much more!

Mike, Pam, and Scott are here today to discuss things to do in those times when you arrive at Walt Disney World and your resort room isn’t quite ready. Do you stay at the hotel and enjoy the pool? Do you get in the car and head to Publix or Target? Do you visit Disney Springs for a drink and a meal with some shopping? Is it straight to the theme parks for you? Also, how do you handle the last day when you have a late flight, but you have to check-out of your room earlier in the day? Do you keep going hard at the parks? Do you hang at your resort until heading back to the airport? I’m very curious to hear how you handle these situations!

We wrap-up our runDisney Princess Half-Marathon coverage today with Scott’s thoughts on the weekend! We hear about how he had to make the last-minute decision to go down early due to the big snowstorm that affected the northern plains the days before the races and his unexpected (and funny) stay at Pop Century! Then, we hear this thoughts on staying in the Royal Guest Rooms at Disney’s Port Orleans Riverside Resort, as well as thoughts on running all three races including his daughter’s first half-marathon! We also talk dining at Ohana, Yachtsman Steakhouse, Ale & Compass breakfast, and much more!

Pam, Rikki, and Scott were all unavailable this week, so it’s just Mike for today’s fresh recap from last weekend’s runDisney Princess Half-Marathon Weekend events! However, Mike knows that some of you are not runners so we also discuss why Coronado is a “sleeper” top-choice for your next Walt Disney World stay! Mike also shares his first experience at the fancy il Mulino restaurant at The Swan, a great meal at the Boathouse, fun times in all four theme parks, and of course, recaps the 10K and Half-Marathon events! Finally, Mike talks about his experience with the runDisney Expo and why the virtual queue system really does need to be changed.
