Happy New Year from A Disney Obsession!


Weekly Newsletter

Hey Reader!

Happy New Year!

I wanted to pop into your inbox today with something simple — just a hello, a thank you, and a reminder that you’re always welcome here.

Whether you’ve been following along for years or you’re brand new, I’m so grateful you’re part of the A Disney Obsession community. This space has grown and evolved over time, but at its heart, it’s always been about the same thing: making travel — especially Disney — feel more approachable, more accessible, and a lot less overwhelming.

The start of a new year can come with a lot of noise: big goals, big plans, and big expectations. If there’s one thing I hope you carry with you into this year, it’s this — you don’t have to do everything all at once. That goes for life and for travel planning.

You don’t need every detail figured out.
You don’t need to know the “right” time to go.
You don’t need to be an expert.

Small steps count. Asking questions counts. Even just thinking about what you want your next trip to feel like counts.

I’m really looking forward to sharing more tips, real-life experiences, and accessibility-focused planning help with you this year — and continuing to help families plan trips that actually work for them.

Thank you for being here, for reading, and for trusting me with a small corner of your inbox. I hope 2026 brings you moments of magic (Disney or otherwise), calm plans, and lots to look forward to!

That wraps up this newsletter. Have a great week!

P.S. If 2026 Disney travel — or travel elsewhere — is even a “maybe,” now’s a great time to start the conversation.

Weekly Newsletter Hey Reader! Okay, real talk: Disney transportation is magical… but also kind of a maze when you’re planning a trip. Monorails! Skyliner! Boats! Buses!

So today I wanted to give you a quick, friendly cheat sheet to help you feel confident getting around Walt Disney World—without spending an hour staring at a map wondering if...
