This week on Brits in the Magic, we're getting ready for our upcoming Disney holiday and talking all things packing!

We're sharing the essential items we never travel without, what goes into our park bag, and the things that have made travelling with Little B that little bit easier. From cooling towels, portable chargers and comfortable shoes to snacks, spare clothes and pushchair essentials, we chat through what has genuinely worked for our family—and what has ended up taking up valuable suitcase space for no reason.

We also cover some important things British passengers should know before flying to the USA, including travel documents, ESTA checks, plug adapters, medication, luggage allowances and keeping everything organised for the journey.

Along the way, we share a few packing mistakes we've made, the items we've forgotten, and the tips and tricks we've picked up after years of Disney holidays.

As always, we finish with another fun quick-fire round, covering everything from park bags to trainers, snacks and the strangest things we've ever packed for Disney.

Whether you're preparing for your first Walt Disney World holiday or you're a seasoned traveller looking to improve your packing routine, we hope this episode helps make getting ready for the magic a little less stressful.

We'll even tell you why you should never tell your child they are the pilot!

As always, we finish with another fun quick-fire round, covering everything from our favourite airline snacks and Disney films to watch on the plane to our essential hand luggage items.

If you're planning a summer trip to Walt Disney World, you'll know that the sunshine is magical—but it can also be exhausting.

We also discuss the cooling essentials we never travel without, how we manage the hottest part of the day, and why slowing down has actually made our Disney trips even more enjoyable.

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.

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.
