Summary

I interviewed Jacki before and after her week-long Disney World trip to talk through her plans vs. how everything actually went. She and her husband built a flexible itinerary with After Hours events, resort time, and even a volunteer shift at Give Kids the World and a runDisney 5K. 
 
We break down what worked, what didn't, and the highlights that made this trip so memorable.

Today, we'll have Jackie's recent Disney World trip that's come up on this episode 512 of WW Prep to W.D.W. Prep to Go. We talk strategy and ideas and have lots and lots of tips for people putting their Disney trips. I'm a host Shannon Albert from WDW Prep School.com. Thank you for being here. Have you noticed they've started saying Disney

0:37.7

trips in the intro and not Disney World trips? So because we obviously talk about more than just

0:42.2

Disney World, even if Disney World is a bulk of it, like to expand out into the other Disney

0:48.6

places too. So I'm just going to say Disney trips to keep it accurate. Today is another trip report this time is with Jackie,

0:55.9

who traveled for a week in April with her husband. Lots of interesting elements to this,

1:02.0

including some volunteer opportunities around Disney events, all kinds of stuff. So I'll have that

1:09.0

for you in just a minute. If you would like to be a podcast

1:12.3

guest like Jackie, there is only one way to do that, and that is to submit a voicemail through the

1:17.4

SpeakPip line that is in the show notes of every episode. If I don't mention this in the intro of

1:23.2

every episode, I start getting emails and DMs and comments about it. So let me just restart it again.

1:29.4

You need to go to speakpipe.com slash w-d-w prep to go. If you don't have show notes for some reason,

1:35.4

that is the URL that you can go to. Leave a voicemail with the details of your trip. And then if it

1:40.3

works out with our schedule, somebody on my team will reach out to you to get the pre-chip and the

1:44.1

post-trip booked so that we can chat.

1:48.1

That is the only way to do it back in the day, like many years ago, used to accept by email.

1:54.5

But we have to hear your voice because if you cannot project while you are being recorded, it won't be good for a podcast.

2:02.7

So we do need to hear your voice on the voicemail. So please feel free to leave a message there.

2:07.6

We're looking for some new and interesting types of trips, always looking for different kinds of

2:14.3

travel so that we can learn from that. If we have the same thing over

2:18.1

and over again, it wouldn't be much use for people planning our trips. So feel free to do that.

2:24.4

And as always, a reminder to follow on social media. If you're not already, what are you doing?

2:29.3

I'm always mentioned this. I just really like the fact that social media makes it more of a
