    DTR 80: Our Walt Disney World Trip Report: Meeting Listeners, Top of the World Fireworks, Buzz Lightyear Review, Big Thunder Mountain & More Disney Magic

    After our van was stolen, we found ourselves buried in insurance paperwork and stress. Instead of sitting around waiting for answers, we decided to do something we love, we booked a quick trip to Walt Disney World. For 2½ days, we went all in. Thanks to the incredible generosity of our Patreon supporters and friends who hosted us, we were able to make the trip happen. We packed in as much Disney magic as possible, including rides on the updated Buzz Lightyear attraction, Big Thunder Mountain, and plenty more favorites. One of the highlights was getting to meet so many listeners throughout the trip. We also celebrated a delayed anniversary and finally crossed a bucket-list experience off our list: watching the fireworks from Top of the World Lounge and enjoying the Wicked Wind Down. It was a whirlwind trip filled with friendship, Disney magic, and some much-needed time together. Hear all about our late anniversary adventure on this week's episode!
