Ever wonder what Disney World would feel like without the kids? No stroller, no nap schedules, no one asking for a snack five minutes after you just bought one?
My friend Christina is back from a four-day girls’ trip to Disney World, and I needed to hear everything.
If you've been dreaming about a Disney trip for adults, this episode is your permission slip to plan one around what you actually want to do. For Christina and her friend, that meant sleeping in, prioritizing good food and the , skipping character meet-and-greets, and spending an entire day eating their way around EPCOT Food and Wine Festival.
We talk about how Christina used my trip-sketching method to plan her days without overplanning them, why she chose Port Orleans Riverside instead of a deluxe resort, and how she approached Disney World Lightning Lane reservations when she didn't have to work around her kids' schedules.
We also get into Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party, where Christina and her friend stayed out late, prioritized cheeseburger spring rolls, watched the second parade, and discovered the benefits of experiencing a Disney party without worrying about toddler bedtimes.
In this episode, we cover:
- What makes a Disney trip for adults so different from a family vacation, including the freedom to sleep in and change plans
- Christina's favorite EPCOT Food and Wine Festival dishes, including the smoked chocolate bread pudding, corned beef, and a surprisingly delicious seafood roll
- How she used Disney World Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Single Pass to fit rides around her food priorities, even when Guardians of the Galaxy broke down
- Her strategy for Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party, from when she arrived to where she watched the parade and how she avoided the exit crowds
One thing I loved about Christina's approach to a Disney trip for adults was that she still planned her trip. She just planned it differently.
Whether you're considering your first girls’ trip or just wondering what Disney World would look like when you're not responsible for everyone else's fun, I think you'll love this conversation.
