Today, we'll have Mary Margaret's January shirt. That's coming up on this episode 342 of W.W.Prep To Go.

Hello and welcome to W.W.Prep To Go. We talk strategy and ideas for people planning their Disney

World trips and we have lots and lots of trip reports, including today's I.M.H. Shane and Albert from W.W.Prep School.com. Thank you for being here for episode 342.

So today is a fun trip report that has lots of different elements that will get to you in just a minute. Before we get into that, housekeeping as usual to look us up on social media at W.W.Prep School so that this becomes a two way street and not just me talking to you.

We're on all the platforms doing all the things every single day. And the other is if you would like to be a guest like Mary Margaret was on here, the only way to do that is using the speak pipe information in the show notes of every single episode.

You need to leave a voicemail with the basic details of your trip and if it works with our schedule and is of interest to us, my podcast producer will reach out to you to get it on the calendar.

So today's trip report with Mary Margaret has a lot of different elements. I think will be especially interesting to people that have little ones. Her son is 15 months old. It is a road trip. So, you know, there's that element as opposed to flying.

There is also a lot of character meals and she did a couple different evening things, including Magic Kingdom after hours as well as extended evening theme park hours at Magic Kingdom.

So it's interesting to hear from her how the two compared so lots of different elements. I think that you will find interesting and hopefully learn a few things as I did. Here's my chat with Mary Margaret.

Welcome to the podcast Mary Margaret. Thank you for having me.

We're talking on Friday, January 6th. Sorry. Do you have a trip coming up? Yes, we do.

So we first of all, so we is my husband trace and our he will be at the time we're traveling 15 months, our son Teddy.

Cute. And then is it Teddy's first trip.

This is Teddy's first trip. So a little background about why we booked this trip. We my husband and I took our first adult trip in November of 2020.

So our first adult trip was the full blown pandemic experience. You could only take off your masks when you were eating and drinking.

It was super 2020, but we loved it. We had the most magical trip. And because we had nothing to compare it to we had been as children, but that was nearly 30 years ago that we then.

So when and what's so funny is while we were on our honeymoon, we kept saying, oh, we would never go with kids and strollers. We're not going to do that.

And then a couple months later, we found out that we were expecting Teddy and that minute, I was like, OK, so when are we going? So an and the fun thing about Disney is kids are free until they're three.

So mom and needs her Disney fix. So we are going and a and I'll get into this when I talk about the plans.

But another big motivation for this trip is to have Teddy's first haircut at the Harmony Barbershop.

So so we were going and I am super excited and I think the moral of the planning is going to be never say never because we kept saying, oh, we never take kids when they're in strollers and we just can't wait and it's it's really been getting us through this winter.

Yeah, never say never is a great mantra. You just don't know what's going to happen. I am going to be fascinated to hear your thoughts on going now versus then because so many things have changed not not just mass, but like fast passes or lighting lanes or, you know, crowds like it's just it's just very different than it was then.
