Episode 4: Pre-Trip Prep, Jess's Walt Disney World Weekend & Maxine’s First Trip to the Castle (April 2024)

Welcome back as we dive into the pre-trip planning for Jess's April 2024 trip, aka Maxine's first trip to the castle. The planning only matches the trip sometimes, so let's see what was planned vs how it actually went.

Here's a few updates based on the episode:

• Glass etching can be done in Glaskunst, in the Germany pavilion in Epcot! This is a really fun and unique keepsake, souvenir, or gift that you can get to remember your trip. Jess bought champagne flutes etched Mr. and Mrs. for the soon to be engaged couple!
• Since recording this episode, Fastpass/Genie+ line skipping has been renamed Lightning Lane MultiPass and Lightning Lane Single Pass. The practice of booking and using lightning lanes has changed since this trip.
• Magic Kingdom rides that are safe for babies and pregnant women (have no height limit): Astro Orbiter, Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin, Dumbo the Flying Elephant, Haunted Mansion, "it's a small world", Jungle Cruise, Liberty Square River Boat, Mad Tea Party, The Magic Carpets of Aladdin, The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, Peter Pan's Flight, Pirates of the Caribbean, Prince Charming Regal Carrousel, Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover, Under the Sea - Journey of the Little Mermaid, and all shows!
• Disney resort buses are typically running an hour before early entry begins.
• Rider switch is an option guests can use when one or more in your party do not meet the height requirement and cannot ride a certain ride

Note: The volume is a little low in the beginning, but corrects after a few minutes. Also, Jess's dog Quincy barks around 2 minutes in.
