Disney World 2-Week Checklist + Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party 2026 Reactions

Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is officially back for 2026, and opening night gave us plenty to talk about. We break down what looked new and different this year, including the Haunted Mansion-inspired Market Street entrance, the Stitch masquerade, new pirate entertainment, Powerline Max, character waits, Mickey’s Boo-To-You Halloween Parade, Hocus Pocus Villain Spelltacular, Disney’s Not-So-Spooky Spectacular, ride overlays, trick-or-treating and more. We also discuss what hasn’t changed much at MNSSHP and whether the familiar entertainment is part of the charm—or if Disney needs to do more with the event. Then we turn to our own Walt Disney World vacation, which is getting very close. What should you actually be doing about two weeks before a Disney trip? We go through our real pre-trip checklist, including My Disney Experience, tickets, flights, park hours, attraction closures, Lightning Lanes, must-do rides, MagicBands, payment methods, packing, shoes, park bags, Florida weather and making time to rest. Whether you’re heading to Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party or counting down the final days before your own Walt Disney World vacation, this episode will help you know what to check, what to prepare and what not to over-plan. 🔗 Follow Family Travel Planner – Your Go-To Disney & Universal Vacation Experts!

Halloween Horror Nights 2026: HHN 35 First-Timer Guide

Halloween Horror Nights 2026 is celebrating 35 years of fear at Universal Orlando. With 10 haunted houses, several ticket options, an expanded Stay & Scream experience and major changes to Express Pass options, planning a night at HHN 35 can quickly become confusing. In this episode, Abbie and Rob break down what first-time visitors should know before entering Universal Studios Florida after dark. We explore the history of Halloween Horror Nights and preview the announced HHN 35 houses, including Sinners, Stranger Things 5, Hellraiser and Evil Dead Burn. We also discuss the scare zones, live entertainment, attractions and food confirmed so far. Then, we compare single-night tickets, Rush of Fear, Frequent Fear, Frequent Fear Plus and Ultimate Frequent Fear passes. We examine Universal’s decision to discontinue its separate multi-night Fear Pass + Express products, why longtime HHN fans are frustrated and how the change could affect the way repeat visitors experience the event. We also look back at complaints surrounding the 2025 Premium Scream Night and what Universal is changing for 2026. You’ll learn the difference between Scream Early and Stay & Scream, what to expect from the scareactors, whether HHN is appropriate for your family and where to stay when Halloween Horror Nights is the focus of your trip. Whether you’re attending for one night or considering a multi-night pass, this first-timer guide will help you understand the costs, compare your ticket options and prepare for Halloween Horror Nights 2026. Halloween Horror Nights is a separately ticketed event. Universal warns that the event may be too intense for young children and does not recommend it for children under 13.

Disney World Holiday Parties 2026: Not-So-Scary, Jollywood & Very Merry

Disney World’s 2026 holiday parties are almost here. We’re breaking down Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, Disney Jollywood Nights and Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party—including 2026 dates, ticket prices, entertainment, attraction overlays and what’s new this year. In Episode 145 of Disney Hour Express, we explain what each separately ticketed event includes and share our experience attending all three parties. You’ll hear our best strategies for early entry, lower ride waits, trick-or-treat trails, complimentary cookies, rare characters and finding a good parade-viewing spot. We also compare the three Disney World holiday parties and discuss whether the experience justifies tickets that can cost more than $200 per person. If you could only attend one—or needed to eliminate one—which party should you choose? Whether you’re planning a Halloween trip or visiting Walt Disney World during Christmas, this guide will help you decide which 2026 Disney holiday party is best for your family.

Disney Destiny Family Cruise Review: The Good, the Bad & What We’d Do Differently

Abbie and Rob wrap up their Disney Destiny series with an honest family review of their first Disney Cruise Line vacation — and answer the big question: was it worth it? After several episodes covering embarkation day, dining, entertainment, kids clubs, Castaway Cay, and Cozumel, this finale looks back at the full trip: what they loved, what disappointed them, and what they would do differently next time. They talk about the stateroom, the veranda, Disney cruise food, room service, the Oceaneer Club, onboard lounges, Castaway Cay, Cozumel, and the challenge of trying to do everything on a first cruise. They also share practical advice for families planning their first Disney cruise, including how to approach the app, character experiences, seasickness prep, embarkation day, and finding the right pace once you’re onboard. The episode also compares Disney Cruise Line to a Walt Disney World vacation and asks whether a Disney cruise feels like a replacement for the parks or a completely different kind of Disney trip. If you’re considering the Disney Destiny, planning a Disney cruise with kids, or wondering whether Disney Cruise Line is worth it for families, this episode gives you the good, the bad, and the lessons learned from a real family sailing.

Episode 140: Our First Disney Cruise (Disney Destiny Day 1): What to Expect on Embarkation Day

Thinking about your first Disney cruise? Here’s what it’s actually like from the moment you arrive to your first night onboard. In this episode of the Disney Hour Express, we share our real first-day experience aboard the Disney Destiny as a family of first-time cruisers. We went in thinking we’d cover the entire cruise… and quickly realized Day 1 alone is a lot. From embarkation confusion to that emotional “we made it” moment stepping onto the ship, we break down exactly what to expect. We talk through the boarding process, arrival times, and what Disney doesn’t make super clear for first-timers. We also dive into stateroom options and pricing, our first impressions of the food, and what dining is actually like on night one. You’ll hear how the Disney Navigator app works, why it matters more than you think, and what surprised us most compared to visiting the Disney parks. We cover the Sail Away Party, kids clubs, and our experience at Pride Lands dinner, plus the little moments that made this feel completely different from a typical Disney vacation. If you’re wondering whether a Disney cruise is worth it, too complicated, or right for your family, this episode gives you a real-life look at Day 1 so you can go in prepared and confident. This is Part 1 of our Disney Destiny cruise series. We’ll be back next episode to cover the rest of the cruise and answer the big question: would we do it again? 🔗 Follow Family Travel Planner – Your Go-To Disney & Universal Vacation Experts!
