What happens when a meticulously planned Disney vacation collides with unexpected illness? Travel agent Sara returns to the podcast to share her remarkable journey combining Walt Disney World parks with back-to-back Disney Cruise Line sailings on both the Magic and Treasure. The adventure begins with a red-eye flight and her family's first experience using Disney's Disability Access Service, providing valuable insights for parents of neurodivergent children. When both Sara and her daughter fall ill during their park days, we discover how Disney's medical services save the day with surprising efficiency and reasonable costs. Her firsthand account demystifies what happens when sickness strikes far from home—valuable knowledge no travel guidebook adequately covers.As the journey shifts to the high seas, Sara offers a rare perspective comparing Disney's oldest ship with their newest. The Treasure emerges as a clear favorite with its thoughtfully designed spaces and immaculate theming, while both Castaway Cay and Lighthouse Point receive detailed reviews. Shore excursions provide unforgettable moments, from making friends with a bee named Waxy during a conservation tour to a heart-pounding encounter when a stingray jumps on Sara at Stingray City.Beyond the adventures, Sara shares wisdom only frequent cruisers discover: the magic number for cruise length, why family cabanas are worth the splurge, and how Disney's newest entertainment offerings like the Moana stage show are raising the bar for cruise entertainment. Whether you're planning your first Disney vacation or your fifteenth, Sara's candid experiences offer both practical guidance and the inspiration to embrace the unexpected moments that often become our most treasured memories.----Adventures & Mousecapades is a passion project from Alicea & Nathan Novak - two Seattleites addicted to The Mouse.
