Episode Details

In December 1991, my dad took me to Walt Disney World and filmed every single thing — including a 3D movie, in 2D. Thirty-five years later, I took my twins. Plus: you could win a trip for up to four to Walt Disney World — details below.

My twin girls are the age I was on that tape. This is what actually happened.

My husband Ryan and I do our Magic & Mayhem recap of the trip — the rain, Rider Switch, the stroller my twin never left. I sit down with Mickey, who signed my autograph book in 1991 and signs it again. Debbi, 33 years with Walt Disney World, on why food is the memory that sticks. Jamila Boyd on Celebrate Soulfully, and the moment Ever met Tiana. And my dad, on the other side of the camera this time, on what he was thinking when he pointed a camcorder at everything.

Watch the video version on YouTube for the 1991 footage and the insider pop-up tips.
