Episode 21 Disney Stamina

In this our 21st episode, we chat all things stamina. The Disney parks challenge us with both mental and physical limits, but the rewards are oh sooo sweet. What's your limit? Are you someone who draws the line before pure exhaustion sets in, or do you push through, leaving rest for when you get back home?

Episode 11 PDD: Post Disney Depression

Without making light of true clinical depression, in this episode we discuss PDD: Post Disney Depression. It's the deflated, bummed out feeling you have when you realize you have to return to regular life. Not that regular life is bad!
