Summary

We’re opening up the mailbag once again to answer your questions, and this one is packed with variety! Whether you’re planning an adults-only anniversary trip, trying to make your value resort feel a little more deluxe, or debating if a day at Epic Universe is worth it—this episode has something for everyone. We kick things off by chatting about romantic, adult-friendly experiences at Walt Disney World and whether it’s worth adding Universal’s Epic Universe to a Disney-centered trip. We also share our top recommendations for couples-only resorts and must-do activities beyond the Keys to the Kingdom tour. Then we dive into questions about a perfect Disney Day (no budget required!) and favorite park fun facts, a creative idea for giving each Disney park a brand-new icon, and answer which rides operate during extended evening hours for deluxe resort guests. We also talk about unexpectedly awesome moments at Universal, how to add luxury to a value resort stay, and whether it’s better to go with a moderate resort—or just go all in on deluxe (or all out and save!). It’s a wide-ranging episode full of fun, helpful tips, and a little bit of Disney daydreaming.
