237: Confessions of a DLP Character Girlie

Vanessa had to girlboss at her Pilates studio this week, so Beth is flying solo—and firing up the extremely questionable Tempus Cheapis 3000 (patent pending). It's not high-tech, but it gets the job done!

Where are we going? We're heading back to March 2026, to sit down with one of our favorite listeners, Aline. She's sharing all the details of her fabulous birthday trip, including:

• The Power of the Bubble: Aline explains why staying on-property at the Disneyland Hotel was a total game-changer for her trip.

• The "Character Girlie" Transformation: How a former skeptic turned into a dedicated character hunter.

• Teacher's Report Card: As a teacher, Aline doesn't hold back—she gives the D2DLP hosts a literal report card on how helpful (or not!) our pre-trip advice actually was. 🍎

• Tales of Magic: Get the definitive scoop on the absolute best vantage point for the new show.

• Pre-Frozen Nostalgia: A look back at the park just before World of Frozen and Adventure Way changed the skyline.

Yes, we know—you're still waiting for Part 2 of Beth's trip report (Princess breakfasts! Dis Down Under! The suspense!). But some stories require Vanessa's specific brand of sarcastic commentary, so we're holding that until she's back from the studio.

Next time: Fear not! Vanessa will soon be back in her rightful co-host seat, and we will finally – finally – conclude Beth's trip report. Spoiler alert: there will be tooo many snacks, a dramatic near DISASTER and two very cool Australian podcasters.
