Pre-Trip Report: Samantha’s “Grand” Land and Sea Vacation (March 2026)

About this episode

Samantha shares her family's upcoming trip to Walt Disney World and their first Disney cruise.

Samantha and her family (including husband, Colin and 3-year old daughter, Grace) are heading back to Walt Disney World for another magical trip. This time, they are tacking on a bit more magic as they plan to spend six nights at the Grand Floridian Resort before heading out on their first ever Disney cruise, three nights on the Disney Wish! On this adventure they will be taking advantage of Lightning Lanes, heading to the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique, and might even be getting Grace’s first haircut at the Harmony Barber Shop.
