Creator's Key Takeaways

It was fantastic. It was big goal for this trip was to spend time with kids and to have let the kids spend time together with a little more independence.

It was worth it. I will say I did think the lines we had done an after hours at Magic Kingdom and because there's so many more rides at Magic Kingdom, it really felt a lot emptier.

It was really lovely to see them have that time to just be together and just the two of them, you know, with us around, I guess.
