    5 Mistakes I Made at Disneyland (and What I’d Do Differently Next Time)

    Planning a trip to Disneyland Resort? Learn from my mistakes before you go. In this episode of Journeys with Jenn, I’m sharing the 5 biggest mistakes I made during our recent Disneyland trip—and what I would do differently next time. As a travel advisor who specializes in Disney destinations, I thought my experience with Walt Disney World would easily translate… but Disneyland is a completely different experience. From not having a solid park strategy to underestimating crowds, navigating Lightning Lane, planning for food, and even missing some of the “magic,” I’m breaking it all down in a real and honest way—so you can plan a better trip from the start. You’ll also hear what surprised us most, what we actually loved about Disneyland, and who this destination is truly perfect for. If you’re trying to decide between Disneyland vs. Disney World, or you’re planning your first Disneyland vacation, this episode will help you feel more prepared, confident, and excited for your trip. ✨ Because the truth is—Disneyland isn’t worse… it’s just different. And with the right plan, it can be an incredible experience. 🎢 In This Episode, We Cover:  The biggest mistakes to avoid at Disneyland  Key differences between Disneyland and Disney World  How Lightning Lane works at Disneyland  Crowd tips and park strategy for Disneyland  What to know about Disneyland dining and food options  Why the “magic” can feel different—and what to expect  Who Disneyland is best for ✨ Ready to plan your own Disney trip? I’d love to help you create a personalized, stress-free vacation experience—so you can focus on making memories, not managing the details. https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61560665097886

    Into the Wild: Why an African Safari Belongs on Your Bucket List

    In this episode of Journeys with Jenn, we’re talking about one of the ultimate bucket list adventures—an African Safari. I share stories from my own travels through Zimbabwe, Zambia, and Mozambique, including riding an elephant on safari, seeing lions on a fresh hunt, being licked by a giraffe, and even having baboons steal my clothes off the line! I’m also joined by my fellow travel advisor, Kristi Stewart, who has traveled to nearly 30 countries and lived in Africa for several years. Kristi will be leading our upcoming agent-guided safari with Collette in 2026, and she shares why this experience is unlike any other trip you’ll ever take. If you’re local to Blount County, you’re invited to join us at our Travel Club meeting on Monday, September 8, where Kristi will share more details about the safari and answer your questions in person. Whether you’re dreaming of spotting the Big Five, experiencing Victoria Falls, or connecting with African culture, this episode will inspire you to finally make that bucket list safari a reality.
