Heather and Mike, longtime Disney enthusiasts, are driving to Orlando from North Carolina for a spring break vacation with their daughter Autumn (12). Before heading over to the Yacht Club, they will be visiting the three Universal Studios parks for the first time with a stay at Endless Summer! They will be planning to enjoy the Mardi Gras offerings while at Universal and the Flower & Garden Festival during their Epcot time. Of course, since they have decided to stay at Yacht Club, they will have to dip their toes in Stormalong Bay at some point.

Welcome back to Danielle! This was, in Danielle’s words, the “perfect” trip. Danielle, her husband Danny, and her mom and dad enjoyed their time in Disney and are brand new annual passholders. If you want to hear about their dinner at Victoria and Albert’s, taking mom on Tiana’s and Guardians of the Galaxy for the first time, and how it went taking over as the family tour manager (after learning from her mom all those years ago), tune in!
