    We're Back! Walt Disney World 2026 Trip Report: Part 1

    We're back from Walt Disney World! 🇺🇸🏰✨ This week on Brits in the Magic, it's time to find out whether months of planning actually paid off as we begin our Walt Disney World holiday report! In Part 1, we're starting right at the beginning with our journey from the UK to Florida. We chat about how the flight went with Little B, whether all those hand-luggage essentials actually came in useful, and the moment we finally realised we were back in the magic. Then it's into the parks! In this episode, we're sharing all the highs, lows and memorable moments from our time at Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom – from favourite rides and character interactions to food, surviving the Florida heat and seeing Walt Disney World through the eyes of a 4-year-old. Along the way, we'll reveal some of our favourite moments from the trip, the things that surprised us, what didn't quite go according to plan and whether the tips and tricks we've talked about in previous episodes actually worked in the real world! And, as always, we finish with another quick-fire round – including our favourite ride, best food, biggest surprise and the one moment we'd teleport straight back to if we could.

    Dining with little B

    dining with a 4-year-old! As we prepare for our upcoming summer holiday, we're sharing the three restaurants we're most excited to visit and why we think they're perfect for Little B and our family. From fun atmospheres to kid-friendly menus, we explain what makes these dining experiences must-dos for us this year. We're also discussing three restaurants we've decided to skip for now. They're not bad choices by any means, but with a young child in tow, our priorities have definitely changed. We talk about why some experiences are better suited to older children (or just grown-ups!) and how becoming parents has completely changed the way we plan our Disney holidays. Whether you're travelling with toddlers, planning your next family holiday, or simply looking for some Disney food inspiration, we hope this episode helps you decide where to eat on your next trip.

    To DVC or not to DVC?

    This week on Brits in the Magic, we're diving into one of the biggest Disney decisions we've ever made — joining Disney Vacation Club (DVC)! We share how we first discovered DVC during our honeymoon back in 2017, why we loved the idea but weren't quite ready to take the plunge, and what changed in 2024 that finally made us become members. From the financial side of the decision to travelling as a family with little B, we discuss the factors that made DVC the right choice for us. We'll also talk about the benefits we've already experienced as DVC members, how it's changed the way we holiday at Disney, and our plans for making the most of our membership in the years ahead. Plus, we wrap things up with a fun DVC-themed quick-fire round, including our favourite resorts, dream stays and whether our honeymoon selves would believe we'd become members one day! Whether you're a current DVC member, considering joining, or simply curious about what it's all about, we hope our experience helps you decide whether DVC might be right for your family.
