In this episode, we are uncovering the secrets of Disney Springs. From hidden gems to unspoken discounts to special things you can see, do and eat only if you know the right time and place to show up. If you're wondering whether you should add a day at Disney Springs to your next Walt Disney World vacation, this episode is for you!

Last week we covered tips for starting your days early at Walt Disney World and this week we are exploring all the different ways you can stay late into the night. From the Extended Evening Hours perk for Deluxe Resort guests to paid After Hours parties and events, we'll share all you need to know to make the most of your extra time in the parks.

Whether you’re a Disney resort guest taking advantage of Early Entry or you just want to arrive early and make the most of shorter wait times when everyone else is sleeping, we’ve got some tips to help you make the most of your next morning at Walt Disney World. And we’ll also cover some scenarios where you might be better off being one of those guests who is sleeping in.

There are so many things to do at Walt Disney World and so many different ways to do them that even those of us who go to the parks all the time make big mistakes from time to time. On the other hand, we sometimes try something that we've always assumed was a terrible idea and it ended up being great. This episode is all about mistakes – some happy accidents that led us to something new and others that we'd rather forget – in the hopes that you won't make the same ones we did!

Have you been contemplating whether it would be worth the upgrade to an Annual Pass on your next visit to Disney World? Sometimes the math makes the answer obvious: if the price of your planned ticket purchases are greater than the cost of the Annual Pass, it’s a no-brainer. But sometimes it can still make sense to spring for the pass, even if the cost is a little higher than your planned ticket outlay. From discounts to extra time in the parks on your arrival and departure days to the freedom to come and go without stressing about wasting a park ticket – there are lots of reasons that an Annual Pass might make sense for your next Disney trip. In this episode, we’ll go over the many different things you should weigh as you make this important (and somewhat pricey) decision.
