Post-Trip Report: Molly’s Mother/Daughter Journey of Water Adventure (May 2024)
If you listened to Molly’s recent mother/son trip report and think you are going to hear basically the same trip, boy are you ever wrong! This time, Molly is back to recount her recent mother/daughter trip with 8 year old daughter Lyra. Every time I thought I had a handle on what Lyra was up for in terms of rides, she would surprise me. One thing I know for certain…Lyra loves the water, and even though there are some Belle moments sprinkled in, I think she is a Moana at heart.

Customer Reviews
My Favorite trip report podcast!
This is my favorite trip report podcast. Virginia does an exceptional job interviewing guests, keeping the conversation engaging while keeping specific, relevant details in tact. Some trip report podcasts move too quickly through the trip or the opposite getting too far in the weeds with less important details. Virginia keeps a good pace with guests and encourages exceptional story telling. She has a real talent for interviewing and bring the best out in people.
Do not pass up this podcast!!
The show title says it all!
Where I Long To Be truly is the most magical trip report podcast out there! Virginia does an amazing job interviewing her guests, and I love hearing their plans and then what ACTUALLY happens. I have gotten so many suggestions and tips to use on my own trips, so this is an invaluable tool to learn more about visiting the Parks as well as a great way to ward off the Disney Blues. Whether you’re a proud Disney Adult or a Disney newbie, this podcast is for YOU!
Attention Disney Fans
I recently started listening and it’s the perfect way to experience Disney from home. I love listening to the differences between the pre and post interviews. Just a reminded that the best plans don’t always work out, but the new plans are just as magical.
