This episode is a little different… and honestly, one of our favorites to record.We’re sharing a mix of random thoughts, real-life moments, and a few stories from our time at Walt Disney World that don’t quite fit into their own full episode, but are too good not to talk about.From unexpected situations (like needing a napkin to stop a bleeding finger at a newly reopened restaurant) to character interactions that caught us completely off guard (yes, Darth Vader made an appearance and it was… intense).And of course, we’re wrapping things up with our usual “Top 3” where we each share a few things we’re loving right now.If nothing else, you’ll get a few laughs and maybe a story or two you can relate to.Let’s get into it.Between the Parks is sponsored by www.ultimateparkplanners.comSign up for our free training call on April 23 here: https://ultimateparkplanners.myflodesk.com/wdwmistakesGrab the link to our Ultimate Park Planners Demo: https://ultimateparkplanners.myflodesk.com/demo
