We’re back at Walt Disney World for the beginning of a spontaneous Disney Cruise Line adventure!

We’re recording from Disney’s Pop Century Resort after booking a last-minute sailing aboard the Disney Wish. We reserved a guaranteed Navigator’s Verandah, but Disney surprised us with an upgrade to a category 4A stateroom on Deck 11. We’ll be conveniently located near the pool deck, Festival of Foods, Funnel Vision, and—most importantly—the soft-serve ice cream!

We also have some exciting personal news to share: Dawn has officially retired from teaching! That means we’ll have more flexibility, more opportunities to travel during the off-season, and hopefully many more Disney adventures ahead.

Before beginning our trip, we helped care for Poppins—better known as Poppy—a tiny rescued kitten our daughter adopted. We fell in love with her immediately and share how we helped her eat, gain weight, and become a little more independent.

We also talk about our early-morning Breeze Airways flight, our first experience using Mears Connect, and our lunch at Primo Piatto at Disney’s Riviera Resort. We had considered visiting the parks, but the intense Florida heat, storms, travel fatigue, and cost of park-hopper tickets persuaded us to enjoy a quiet afternoon at Pop Century instead.

Finally, we look ahead to our return to the Disney Wish, our first time taking Disney transportation to Port Canaveral, and our early plans for the next Resort Loop group cruise!

In this episode, we discuss:

• Booking our Disney cruise only days before sailing
• How our guaranteed Disney Cruise Line stateroom worked
• Our unexpected upgrade from category 7A to category 4A
• Why we always book a cabin category we’ll be happy to receive
• Dawn’s retirement and our future travel plans
• Caring for an adorable rescued kitten named Poppy
• Flying Breeze Airways to Orlando
• Why we recommend arriving early for a Breeze flight
• Using Mears Connect for the first time
• Our lunch at Primo Piatto
• Why we decided to skip the parks during the extreme summer heat
• Our return to the Disney Wish
• Our early plans for the next Resort Loop group cruise

The future has caught up to the Carousel of Progress!

This week, Dawn and I are talking about one of our all-time favorite Disney attractions as it prepares for its biggest update in decades.

With the attraction set to close for a major refurbishment, we wanted to share our honest thoughts before it goes offline. We discuss everything Disney has announced so far, the many questions that still haven’t been answered, and what we’re hoping to see when the attraction returns in 2027.

Will the Sherman Brothers’ classic music remain? Could there be a new narrator? Will Disney update the animatronics, the seating, or even the ride system itself? And as two proud children of the ‘80s, we’re especially hoping Disney gets that decade just right!

Along the way, we take a nostalgic trip through the history of Carousel of Progress, share some of our favorite memories, and talk about why we believe this refurbishment isn’t just about updating an attraction—it’s about creating nostalgia for a whole new generation of Disney fans.

In this episode, we discuss:

• The history of Carousel of Progress
• What Disney has announced about the refurbishment
• Our biggest unanswered questions
• The new decades and scenes coming to the attraction
• Why the 1980s scene means so much to us
• What we’re excited to see—and what we hope Disney doesn’t change

Now we’d love to hear from you!

What are you hoping to see in the new Carousel of Progress? What would make you excited—or leave you disappointed? Join the conversation in the comments, at ResortLoop.com, or in our Looper Nation Live Facebook community.

If you’re dreaming about your next Disney vacation or Disney Cruise Line adventure, we’d love to help! Visit ResortLoopTravel.com for a free, no-obligation quote.

Thanks for listening… and here’s to a great, big, beautiful tomorrow!
