It has been too long since last Will and Shannon spoke to you! Sorry for the delay. With Shannon going back to work…and figuring out this whole parenting thing… well… Will blames the Princess Peanut…. JUST KIDDING!!!
Speaking of the Princess Peanut and figuring out how to be parents, Will and Shannon present to you their experience traveling to Disneyland and Walt Disney World with the Princess Peanut.
Back in May, the three Embracers of the Disney Magic, travelled cross-country from Maryland to the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, CA. On the way home, however, they decided to take a slight detour to the Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, FL. This vacation marked the first time Will and Shannon took the then 2-month old, Princess Peanut on a plane and to a Disney park.
Hear their experience with:
- Getting through security check point & what to do with the car seat, infant carrier, base and stroller.
- Communicating with your significant other.
- How to keep your baby happy during take off and landing.
- Tips for keeping you and your baby cool in the heat.
- Baby Care Centers at both the DLR and WDW.
So climb into the Mobile Studios with Will, Shannon, Princess Peanut and Ashley as we travel to the New Jersey and discuss How We Travelled to Disneyland and WDW with a Baby.

Westfest 2009 Master Planning Spreadsheet Revealed!
Will and Shannon’s proposed Westfest 2009 itinerary. As always, it is subject to change. But this is how it looks pre-trip.
What is the Master Planning Spreadsheet?
The Master Planning Spreadsheet (MPSS) is how Will plans out his trip itineraries to Walt Disney World and Disneyland. It takes into account park hours (including Extra Magic Hours), dining reservations, shows, park rehabs, and special events. This allows Will to feel as if he can Embrace the Magic as much as possible!
It doesn’t plan out to the second park touring though. Its purpose is to establish blocks of activity time.
It may sound obsessive. It may sound insane! But it works for those that use it correctly. Ask anyone that has toured a Disney park with Will and they all agree to the funness and practicality of the Master Planning Spreadsheet.
What’s the Focus of this MPSS?
Although we’re going for DPN Westfest, this trip is still a family vacation. We don’t have an opportunity to visit Disneyland very often so we need to find a good balance between Westfest meets and family park time.
We might be able to make more Westfest meets. We might not be able to make Rope Drop every morning or stay until park close every night.
But this is the plan pre-trip. More likely, this is the hope of what we can accomplish on the trip. As time and circumstances dictate, plans change so things could get dropped or added.
Are You Attending Westfest?
You should be attending!! We hope to see you in the park. Especially at the meets hosted by the Magic Never Ends and the Travelears! Those are sure to be most fun!!!
Visit DPNWestfest.com for more information, including event schedules and media from past Westfests.
Unfortunately, we probably will be unable to add you to any dining reservations, but we would encourage you to make your own reservations!
