088: Planning Summer at Walt Disney World
About this episode
We’re heading to Walt Disney World this summer for 10 full days of magic — and what started as just our family’s adventure has now turned into a full-on family reunion! Midway through the trip, we’ll be joined by my husband’s side of the family, adding NINE more people to the fun. We’re talking all four parks, both water parks, an unforgettable night at H2O Glow, and some good eats at The Boathouse at Disney Springs.
In this episode, I’m sharing how we’re planning for both halves of the trip, what it’s like coordinating a large group (for only part of the time), and how we’re making the most of summer at Disney — including poncho and Crocs weather, navigating those midday thunderstorms, and finding the sweet spot between rope drop and park close without melting in the Florida heat.
Plus, I’ll walk you through why this might be one of the quietest summers we’ve seen in a while (hello, Epic Universe 👋🏾), and how to take advantage of summer discounts and flexible planning during this season.
If you’re planning a summer Disney trip, this one’s packed with real talk, pro tips, and everything you need to know to survive — and THRIVE — at Walt Disney World in the summer heat.
☀️ Grab your fan, your refillable water bottle, and let’s go!
