Our Maui Trip Fell Apart… So We Pivoted to Disneyland | HoJo, Lamplight & Review

After a last-minute shift in plans (including a Maui trip that didn’t go as expected), we found ourselves pivoting to Disneyland—and it turned into something really special.In this episode, I’m sharing a mix of real-life moments, honest reviews, and little things I noticed along the way—from where we stayed to what we ate and what I’d actually recommend if you’re planning your own trip.We kept this one a little lighter and more experience-based, so think: what it felt like, what stood out, and what I’d do again (or skip next time).I’m talking about:Our stay at the Howard Johnson (HoJo) and how it worked for our tripLamplight Lounge and whether it lived up to the hypeThe Plaza Inn Paint the Night dining package (and if it’s worth it)A fun surprise moment at Redwood Creek Challenge TrailSome small tips and observations that made a differenceAnd of course… a little travel chaos and family antics along the way 😅I also share a bit about our Airbnb situation and how everything shifted before we even got there.If you love hearing what a trip is actually like—not just the highlight reel—you’re going to feel right at home in this one. ✨
