Join us as Sheila is joined by past guest and good friend Annette Bartoli-Dorman 💕 along with her husband Jack 🌟—and later their daughter April 🌙—for a magical conversation all about their recent dream come true family trip to Disneyland, California! 🏰✨
For Annette and Jack, it had been 37 years since their last visit 😱 and this return was nothing short of emotional and unforgettable 🥹❤️. From reliving memories to creating new ones, Jack even declared it the greatest vacation ever! 🏆💫 And yes—Annette got to sit in the very car Walt Disney once sat in! 🚗👑
April, a Disney travel pro 🌐✨, was invited by Disney for a special travel agent training event—her first Disneyland visit! She shares her awe at seeing Sleeping Beauty’s Castle for the first time 🌸🏰, her stay at the Grand Californian Resort 🛏️🌲, and how she won a little moon 🌕 playing a carnival game! 🎯🎁
Plus, they celebrated Jack & Annette’s wedding anniversary 💍🎉 and stayed at the cozy Sonesta Hotel 🏨💕
Would they go back tomorrow? Absolutely. 💯🎢
🎧 Tune in for heartfelt laughs, Disney magic, and family joy—this one’s a ✨core memory✨ in the making.
