The question is simple: How Many Park Days Do You Actually Need in Disney World? But the answer is a little more complex, and it depends on what you consider necessary to do.

We each answer the question and create a high-level overview of what those days entail in order to get the full WDW experience. We hope this helps you decide which park ticket to get!

Show notes

We received a question: "Do you have recs for fun nightlife things for adults to do who don’t drink? Maybe a cool place with mocktails and music or anything of the sort?" So here are a list of things to do, primarily in the evening, that offer live music, activities, events, etc without the need for drinking cocktails, beer, or wine (although - you sure can at most of these places!)
