Kate, who was last on the show to talk about her resort only/golf trip to Disney, is back and this time she has brought her sister Jess along! They are planning a trip for their two families to head to Walt Disney World. They are going to be enjoying Old Key West Resort, celebrating Jess’ daughter Lili’s birthday, and taking advantage of all the fun there is to be had.

Molly and her family are headed to Universal Studios Florida! They are planning a weeklong stay at the Universal Helios Grand Hotel with 6 day tickets. Obviously, since they are staying right outside of Epic Universe, experiencing Epic for the first time is a big part of this trip, so they will be splurging for two days in that park (yes, you have to pay extra for that right now) with one day of Epic Express Pass. It’s been since 2022 that they have gone to Universal as a family, so they are all super excited about this trip!

Travel agent extraordinaire Amy Belfi is back on the show to share all the plans she and her family have for their upcoming trip to Disneyland! They will be staying at the Disneyland Hotel in a three bedroom suite since Amy’s mom and dad will be joining them. Mom and dad have generously offered to pay for a VIP tour and a cabana, making the trip all the more special. While Amy is a Walt Disney World expert and also books Disneyland trips for her clients regularly, it’s been a long time since she has been to the west coast herself so she’s especially looking forward to hitting the ground running!

Hailey, who you may remember on the show before, is back to share all the fun that she is planning on her upcoming girls’ trip with her travel agency team.
