Today I’m joined by Missy Khamvongsa, the co-founder of the Facebook group, Disney Planning for Disney Friends (almost 50k members!) She joined me in episode 5 and shared ALL the details of bringing a one-year-old to WDW and Universal Orlando. This episode highlight the Universal Studios portion of their vacation. Here are just a few items we discuss: Hard Rock Hotel Express Pass  Diagon Alley interactive wand  The Cowfish  CityWalk Annual Passes  Despicable Me character breakfast  Three Broomsticks  Hot Butterbeer  Toothsome Chocolate Emporium Favorite Vacation memories “There were a few times where Emma’s reactions were just amazing. The first time that she saw the Frozen Sing-Along Celebration. It was just Me and her, everyone else was on either Star Tours or Rock’n’Roller coaster and so I took her to see the Frozen Sing-Along for the first time. We sat in the second row and the curtain comes up and she recognizes the music and then Anna comes on stage and she just starts yelling, ‘Anna’ and reaching out for her. And it was just, it was incredible. I was worried that maybe she would get antsy because it's a 30 minute show. She was mesmerized the whole time. It was a great experience. And then her reaction to Vampirina that we talked about earlier when we did the Hollywood & Vine breakfast was amazing. Oh, and at Royal Sommerhus at Epcot for her to meet Anna and Elsa. We were the first in our group to go into the room. And so there was one family meeting with Elsa and Anna was waiting on the other side and Emma saw that they were in the room and her eyes got wide and she's just yelling, ‘Anna, Elsa’ and Anna was waving at her and she was waving back. We learned we could just put her down next to the character and they would sit on the floor and the interaction that she would have with just her and them was just incredible. And just watching that, I started crying. My sister made fun of me because I just had tears streaming down my face because it was so lovely to see.” Learn more about Missy: Episode 5: Vacation like a Disney Expert www.magicofmainstreet.com Disney Planning for Disney Friends Missy's Facebook page Follow Missy on Instagram Follow Report the Magic on Instagram
