Disney with Twins: A 19-Day Adventure with Nick and Carlin – Ep. 661

There’s something really special about seeing Walt Disney World through fresh eyes…
And in Episode 661 of the Geekin’ on Walt Disney World Podcast, we get to do exactly that.
This week, I’m joined by Nick and Carlin — who just wrapped up an incredible 19-day Disney trip with their seven-month-old twins, Simon and Wiley Jean.
And let me tell you…
These two may have been the most popular Geeks at the entire meetup weekend
This episode is about more than just a trip report…
It’s about family, perspective, and what Disney means across generations.

Resort Hopping with Twins
Nick and Carlin stayed at multiple resorts during their trip, each offering something different:
All-Star Movies – a great value option (but tight with twins!)
Pop Century – perfect for Skyliner access with a stroller
Coronado Springs (Club Level) – upgraded to a one-bedroom suite with cribs (major win!)
Caribbean Beach – great location, but a reminder to request first floor rooms with strollers
One big takeaway:
If you’re traveling with little ones, space + convenience matters more than ever.
Dining Highlights
They had some fantastic meals (and a few honest takes):
Standout Experiences
Narcoossee’s – fireworks views + great food
Topolino’s Terrace – a must-do (especially the sole + escargot!)
Crystal Palace – surprisingly great food + amazing character interactions
Yak & Yeti (to-go!) – tuna nachos + margaritas by the water
Honest Reviews
Chef Mickey’s – fun for characters, not for the food
Summer House on the Lake – beautiful, but still searching for that “wow” meal
Traveling to Disney with Infants (Real Tips)
This is where the episode really shines.
Nick and Carlin share real-world tips from doing Disney with twins:
Pre-pack and organize your stroller setup
Bring MORE supplies than you think (especially pacifiers!)
Use rider swap — but know it works differently at each ride
Take advantage of Disney’s baby amenities (cribs, pack & plays, etc.)
Consider room size — family suites can be game changers
Don’t overplan — flexibility is everything
One big insight:
Disney might actually be one of the easiest places to travel with babies — because of how accommodating everything is.
Favorite Moments from the Trip
There were so many special moments, but a few really stood out:
Seeing the twins react to characters for the first time
A magical fireworks moment from the hub grass after park close
A sunset safari with a roaring lion at Animal Kingdom
Watching the babies take in shows like Festival of the Lion King
That first “Disney awareness” moment — when everything starts clicking
And for me personally…
Holding Wiley during the trip and thinking about my upcoming granddaughter…
That was a moment I won’t forget.
What This Trip Was Really About
This episode isn’t just about traveling with kids.
It’s about something bigger.
It’s about:
Seeing Disney through a new lens
Creating memories that come full circle
And realizing that this experience keeps evolving through every stage of life
As Nick said…
These might be moments the kids won’t remember…
But we will.
