    Episode 74: Turning Work Into a Fun Disneyland Trip

    In this episode, Steph recaps her visit in Anaheim—starting with  getting over being sick over Thanksgiving, skipping a last-minute park reservation, and taking a cozy stroll through Downtown Disney where she did a little (okay, a lot of) shopping. After finishing her work training, she checked into Hotel Lulu and met up with Angel and Lindsay for a fun girls’ night at DCA. They enjoyed wine at Sonoma Terrace, Festival of Holidays bites, Monsters Inc., Avengers Campus photos, shopping, and nonstop laughter. The next morning, Steph and the girls had a slow but memorable breakfast at Carnation Café before exploring Main Street, searching for a sweater, taking photos, and riding Storybook Land Canal Boats—where they learned each boat has its own name. The trio also visited Oga’s Cantina, filmed content in the Esplanade, and eventually tried the red velvet Mickey waffles at Smooshies after a lost order mishap. Once the girls left, Steph enjoyed a peaceful solo evening in Disneyland—catching holiday entertainment, grabbing a Cobb salad at Plaza Inn, riding Pirates, and ending the night with castle photos. A brief panic set in when she realized she’d left her car keys in the trunk earlier, but luckily everything was safe. A whirlwind of Disney magic, girl time, and holiday moments—told through Steph’s cozy, heartfelt adventures. Thank you to all of my listeners, friends and supporters!

    Episode 73: Feels So Good to Be Home Again

    In this episode of Magic Key Adventures, Steph recounts her and her family’s Disneyland day with a slow, cozy breakfast at Jolly Holiday before soaking in that “first day back” feeling—music, Main Street, and pure Disney magic. Then it’s time to meet our lightning-fast photographer, Lulu, for a very special graduation photo shoot. From striking poses at the train station to wandering down Main Street in my cap and gown, it’s a day filled with nerves, excitement, and unforgettable moments. Join Steph as she relives the memories, the joy, and the pixie dust that made this day one to never forget. Thank you to all of my listeners, friends and supporters!
