Stacey and Stefanie’s Mega WDW trip - PREP 518

Host Shannon Albert welcomes identical twins Stacey and Stefanie to share plans and a recap of their May 23–30 Disney World trip with 22 relatives ages 74–4 from the U.S. and England. They chose a 15-bedroom Paradiso Grande vacation rental for together time and budget, used family Zoom/WhatsApp planning, a WIDWIG schedule board, and a “use the app, check the map” mantra, plus Lightning Lanes, Single Passes, and Key to the World cards for UK guests due to limited UK ticket options. Park days covered Magic Kingdom (low crowds, Buzz breakdown, Beaches & Cream, Epcot hop for Brits) and Animal Kingdom (Flight of Passage favorite, shows, food, Bluey challenges). Off days featured Disney golf, mini golf, Dolphin spa, trivia, talent show, and a graduation ceremony; This trip also included Hollywood Studios, Epcot, Universal highlights (VelociCoaster, The Mummy), Cirque du Soleil, and group cleanup/departure, with tips like cooling towels, hydration, and flexible pacing.
