We had the distinct pleasure to get all dressed up and head out to Disney World’s newest after-hours holiday party, Jollywood Nights at Hollywood Studios a couple weeks back. In its second year, this event is kind of like if your company holiday party was at Disney. Amazing food and drinks. Incredible Music. Great character interactions. And a whole lot of fun. Listen in to find out if this was a one and done for us, or a new tradition waiting to happen.

It’s our last retroactive trip report! This episode we look back at our 16-day trip to Disney World in August of 2021. The parks were still in pandemic mode and we had a LOT of DVC points to spend or lose. Our 3-bedroom suites at Animal Kingdom and Bay Lake Tower, and a 2-bedroom suite at Riviera, were great escapes from the heat and humidity!

Evidently, in spooky season VIP tours turn into RIP tours at Universal Studios theme parks. This week, in honor of the holiday this week, we’re talking about Alicea’s evening at Universal Studios Hollywood’s Halloween Horror Nights where she, Sterling, Kaitlyn, and a good friend Sanae enjoyed the RIP Tour. They got quick access to all the haunted houses, a meal and snacks, some special tour-only surprises, and generally had a frighteningly good time.
