The anticipation has reached a fever pitch. The stage is set. Magic Mike is finally making his triumphant return to Disney World!

(And for anyone who's counting...yes, we've squeezed 4 episodes out of Mike's trip planning...but tbh we could have done 40)

We talk last-minute preparations, keeping the kids as grounded as possible, and the final itinerary for Mike's 13-person extended family trip.

We're gonna let Mike enjoy his trip next week, but the recap will be coming soon!

We're calling back the white smoke!

Some last-minute convos with Magic Mike's family meant we returned to the inner sanctum for a final, official Lightning Lane conclave.

We talk park strategy, who's doing what Single Pass rides, and mapping out our days around dining reservations.

Did we squeeze 3 episodes out of planning Mike's trip? Don't be surprised if we stretch it to 4, people. This is big stuff!!!
