Vanessa is back from Disneyland and sharing all the details from a very special family getaway celebrating her daughter’s 21st birthday!

From Disneyland favorites and California Adventure fun to dining, attractions, birthday celebrations, and all the little moments that made the trip memorable, Vanessa gives us the full trip report.

Whether you’re planning a milestone birthday or just looking for an excuse to head to Disneyland, this episode is packed with firsthand experiences and plenty of Disney magic!

The cruise may have been the main event, but the adventures before and after were just as memorable!

Lauren and her husband Rich share all about the pre-cruise stay in Rome — from the Trevi Fountain, Colosseum, Vatican and Pantheon to the hotel, amazing Italian food and, of course, plenty of espresso martinis!

Then it’s time to talk Barcelona, where the post-cruise fun continued with a great hotel stay, delicious food, sangria, Park Güell and the incredible La Sagrada Família.

We’re covering what we saw, where we stayed, what we ate and drank, what we loved, and our tips for adding extra days in Rome and Barcelona to your Mediterranean cruise vacation.

Because sometimes the best parts of a cruise vacation happen before you board and after you get off the ship!
