0:21.2

planning their Disney World trips I am a host Shannon Albert from wdw prep school.com thank you for being here

0:25.8

for episode 461 today is a trip report with Kim who just did a solo trip to Disney World and I'm

0:34.0

always excited to have these solo trips because I think they introduce people to a style

0:38.2

of travel they might not have thought of otherwise. So I love that. I did want to mention something

0:44.7

in the intro that kind of comes up in this interview, which is that I think there is sometimes a misconception that the reason that I do a

pre-trip and a post-trip is to see if they can match, but it's actually the opposite. The
