About this episode

Steph recaps her Disneyland trip, highlighting the After Dark event and various activities with friends.

Steph recaps day one of a two-day Disneyland trip with Angel and Lindsay for the “70 Years of Favorites” After Dark event. After a minor parking-structure collision with no damage, the host enters Disneyland, meets friends, eats at Docking Bay 7, shops for merchandise, and takes Cars Land PhotoPass photos with Lightning McQueen before riding Little Mermaid and Soarin’. The group dines at Carthay Circle, then attends the After Dark event for photo ops, dancing, snacks, and rides, but finds the event lackluster and leaves early.
