    Nicole’s group offsite trip to Disney World

    Nicole’s group offsite trip to Disney World

    Nicole traveled with 15 people in her family to Walt Disney World - that includes nine children ranging in age from 6 months to 12 years old! They stayed for a week in an offsite home they rented so they could all stay together. Their park time was often with their nuclear family, which gave Nicole and her husband plenty of time to navigate the parks with their 6-month-old daughter. She shares about their trip and her new perspectives as a parent.

The most wonderful listen!

I drive for roughly 2.5 hours a day, and this podcast makes that time fly! I’m always a world away in Australia and being able to learn about my favourite place in the world, even though I’m far away, makes it so wonderful! The tips and tricks I’ve learnt will help me forever! Plus it’s amazing to hear beautiful experiences!

Fave Disney Parks podcast

I’ve searched for good Disney Parks content and this is by far the best podcast I’ve found. Invaluable for planning our first trip to WDW and now just a general obsession! Perfect interview style for trip reports.

The Disney Guy ,

Thanks from Down Under

We have been listening to WDWPrepToGo for what seems like forever. Thanks Shannon and your many guests for being part of our world, for helping us plan trips, and for keeping the magic alive in between. You are fun, insightful, and always have up to date info. Keep being amazing!!
