    Choosing the Right Disney Resort | Season 1 Ep. 3

    If you’ve ever stared at the list of Walt Disney World Resort hotels and thought… how am I supposed to choose? — this one’s for you. In this episode, the girls are getting into what really goes into picking the right Disney resort, and it’s not just about price. We’re talking through the real-life decision factors that actually shape your trip. Transportation that can make or break your mornings, room size when you’re traveling with kids, security, location, and what it feels like to come “home” to your resort after a long park day. We break down how different resort categories show up in real life, not just on Disney’s website. From value stays to deluxe experiences, we share what surprised us, what we would do differently, and what we now consider non-negotiables. You’ll hear our personal must-haves when booking, including: Why transportation matters more than you thinkThe reality of room space with familiesResort theming and how it changes the entire vibe of your tripThe importance of quick service breakfast when rope droppingDining options that actually make your stay easierWe also get into how family dynamics play a role in these decisions. Traveling with kids, traveling without them, and how our preferences are already shifting as our families grow and change. This conversation is honest, a little opinionated, and packed with the kind of insight we wish we had before booking our first Disney stays. Because the truth is, your resort is not just where you sleep. It shapes your entire Disney experience.
