You don’t need perfect weather, perfect kids, or a perfectly executed plan to have an amazing Disney trip. You just need the right mindset.

In this episode, I’m sitting down with one of my very first Laid-Back Magic members to walk through her real-life trip report from staying at Disney Riviera with her husband, parents, and two toddlers. We talk about what worked, what didn’t, how she navigated ride closures, used DAS and Lightning Lanes together, and what Disney World with toddlers actually looks like when you plan intentionally but stay flexible.

If you’ve ever wondered what a truly laid-back Disney trip feels like in real time, this is it.

In this episode, we talk about:

• Staying at Disney Riviera and why renting DVC points worked so well for their family

• How this trip report was different from their past trips

• Using DAS and Lightning Lanes strategically

• What surprised her about Disney World with toddlers this time around

• Pivoting when Frozen was closed and why that wasn’t a failure

• Skipping Peter Pan and feeling good about it

• Why resort time at Disney Riviera was just as valuable as park time

• What “success” really means on a family Disney trip

If you’re planning Disney World with toddlers and wondering how to balance expectations, energy levels, and everyone’s happiness, this episode will give you a real-life example of what that can look like.
