This week on the Geekin’ on Walt Disney World Podcast, I welcome back long-time Super Geek and dear friend Jen Batchelder!
Jen just returned from a magical September trip celebrating family birthdays at Bay Lake Tower, and she’s here to share her heartwarming family adventure — filled with fireworks, fairytales, and unforgettable princess moments.
🌴 This Week’s Episode
Jen planned the ultimate family celebration — staying in a Bay Lake Tower one-bedroom villa with stunning Magic Kingdom views, celebrating her daughter Peyton’s birthday, and introducing her 4-year-old great-niece Ellie to the full Disney magic experience.
From the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique transformation that brought tears of joy to a sweet breakfast moment in Fantasyland, Jen’s trip was packed with those special Disney touches that remind us why we love the magic so much.
🏰 Highlights from Jen’s Trip Report
* Stunning Bay Lake Tower villa with nightly fireworks right from the balcony
* Ellie’s magical Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique makeover — complete with a happy surprise twist
* Character dining fun at Tusker House and Storybook Dining at Artist Point
* Touring during low-crowd September — why it’s one of Jen’s favorite times to visit
* Relaxed park touring and meaningful family moments at every turn
Jen shares beautiful details about quiet mornings with coffee at the Contemporary, how the cast members made Ellie’s trip unforgettable, and even a few expert tips on pacing your day to avoid meltdowns and maximize the magic.
