If you would happily stay home, put on some background music, make a cup of tea, and not leave the house all day, does it make any sense that you’d also love Disney World?

Apparently, yes.

My friend Summer is back on the podcast, and we’re talking about the funny contradiction of being total homebodies who also love traveling to one of the most stimulating places on earth.

Because when you really think about it, Disney gives us a lot of the things we love about home: familiarity, routines, comfort, nostalgia, and that feeling that we know where everything is.

So if you’re planning a Disney trip and wondering how to make it feel less overwhelming, this episode is for you. Especially if you’ve ever searched for a vacation for introverts and thought, “Well...Disney World probably isn’t it.”

We might change your mind.

In this episode, Summer and I talk about:

Why Disney World can actually feel comforting and familiar to a homebodyThe “Disney bubble” and why staying on property can make a trip feel easierHow afternoon breaks, naps, pool time, and familiar bedtime routines can make Disney World with kids feel much more manageableSimple Disney World tips like bringing familiar clothes, ordering your normal snacks, studying park maps, and packing favorite toys or stuffed animals

One of my favorite things Summer said is that there’s a difference between a schedule and a routine.
