Honeymooned at Disney
Most recent trip was October 2019
First visit to the Food and Wine Festival at Epcot
Disney Meal Plan discussion
Rewind to talk about the Treehouses Casey stayed in

Recap of Casey’s past trips
Unfortunately, Casey doesn’t remember his first trip other than the spiral staircase
Casey’s children may not remember this past trip, but it was fulfilling for Casey, especially when his son got to meet Mickey Mouse
It’s a different experience visiting without kids vs with kids
Taking photos during the trip
