Today we are excited to have Listener Deena back on the show (last time was way back in 2017!) to hear all about her trip with extended family during “Jersey Week” to Disney’s Boardwalk Villas! We hear about how this trip came together, how she “got everyone ready” for the Walt Disney World experience, fun times in the theme parks, including showing the best of Star Wars and encounters with Mickey Mouse, as those were favorites for members of the travel party. Also, we discuss how the adults got some time together while the grandparents got some special times with the grandkids as well! This is a very heartwarming show as this is what a family vacation should be all about!

This is the Live Call-in Show from this past Sunday night, March 8, 2026!  Mike was in the Studio alone for this show and wanted to dedicate this hour to the passing of Mr. Jeff Galloway, the runDisney training consultant and mentor to so many of us over the years who passed away last month. Jeff opened the door and made running accessible to so many of us, and tonight we took some calls to hear how Jeff impacted not only our running journeys, but our lives. Hear these touching stories and how we plan to carry on Jeff’s amazing legacy. We will miss you, Jeff!
