I have a wonderful conversation with Justin - dad, husband, Disney fan - about his first solo trip to Disney for his birthday this August! He has been to Disney many times with his wife and teen daughters, but what was it like to only worry about himself? And... what does he think about wearing a birthday button as a man travelling to Disney solo? Listen to find out!

I talk all about it in this week's episode and why I regret not going in 2025!

Is Magic Kingdom haunted? Well, maybe not, but there is a lot of history layered on Magic Kingdom that we can think of as haunted. From an above-ground cemetery, to a space that is a thin veil between worlds, to underworld bumps, to ghostbusting, to sewing yourself together like Sally in The Nightmare Before Christmas, this episode will give you a little ghost walk around our favorite park.
And stay to the end for a little piece of trivia I forgot to mention in the main episode!

Come with me on a little walk around World Showcase at EPCOT. Every time I go to EPCOT solo, I visit the same places, have similar memories, and walk the same route - but that is why I love going!

This episode offers an overview of the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival, including marketplace highlights, Eat to the Beat performances, scavenger hunts, and general atmosphere. The festival continues to offer familiar seasonal features (even if it is not my favourite festival!). Then we’ll talk about how to bring some of that festival feeling into your own kitchen. A little flavor, a little playfulness, a little autumnal magic (especially in these contentious political times) — no park ticket required!
