    Post-Trip Report: The Duckworths’ Pseudo Staycation and Birthday Vacation (June 2025)

    Garrett and Haley have returned to the show after a trip that involved about 15 days in a row in at least one Disney park! The first week of this trip was a chance for them to test the waters of what it might be like to move to Orlando with a rental house and car, working remotely, and doing everyday things. The second week was a stay at Disney’s Riviera resort. Because this trip was for Garrett’s birthday, there were so many good meals and even a Savor the Savanna Tour that they enjoyed. What a trip!
