In this month’s live planning call, we covered real-time takeaways from booking Lightning Lanes with the new app flow (00:40), December-specific Disney updates you need to know (10:30), and then dove into member questions about January trips, crowd levels, and Multi-Pass strategy.

I answered questions from Marynay (15:08) on January crowds + choosing between EPCOT and Animal Kingdom, and Angela (19:37) on pre-booking Lightning Lanes for a Fantasyland morning + Space Mountain/pre-dessert party night. Then we talked through Molly’s EPCOT vs. Hollywood Studios with 3 toddlers dilemma (23:51) and wrapped with a quick chat on Sebastian’s Bistro favorites (28:02) and whether Storybook Dining is “worth it” (30:26).
