Summary

In this episode, I talk with Tony about his family's February trip to Walt Disney World, featuring heavy park hopping, a split stay at Disney's Polynesian and BoardWalk, and efficient planning with Lightning Lanes and extended evening hours.

They enjoyed highlights like frequent Tiana's Bayou Adventure rides and multiple lounge stops, low early-week crowds that rose near Presidents Day, and big wins such as Frozen Ever After's reopening, Rise of the Resistance rope drop, Droid Depot builds, and the new Starlight parade.
