Welcome Disney Geeks! This week on the Geekin’ on Walt Disney World Podcast, we welcome back long-time Super Geek Kayleen Stunz, who brings us two magical Disney World trip reports from Summer 2025. Kayleen shares a joyful, energetic, and unforgettable big family vacation — with eight adults and five little ones — plus a totally different style of Disney magic during a September couples getaway with her husband, Scott. From multigenerational memories to peaceful lounge time and hilarious mishaps, this episode is packed with heart, humor, and real-world Disney wisdom.
