611 The Disney Dream Girls

Welcome to the show for the Disney Dream Girls Podcast - show number 611 for Sunday 6th September 2026. 

As always, if you wish to listen to the podcast direct - click the player below.

On this week's show, Michelle takes us inside her ultimate Disney getaway, breaking down a multi-stop adventure that spans both land and sea. From the nostalgic, high-energy vibes of Disney's Pop Century Resort and the luxurious maritime elegance of the Disney Cruise Line’s Disney Wish, to the sophisticated comforts of the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Resort, she’s reviewing it all.  

Tune in as she compares the amenities, comfort levels, and true value of these vastly different properties. Whether you're planning a budget-friendly family trip, looking to set sail or debating whether a non-Disney-owned property in the Epcot resort area is worth your hard-earned money, Michelle helps you answer the ultimate question: Should you stay there?

That's it for this week.
