In just two weeks, the PassPorter Moms Podcast will record and celebrate it’s 200th episode. Wow. When my co-host Sara suggested we do a podcast together, I remember thinking, “How on earth could I do that every week? I am an Introvert with a capital I!” But someone once said that […]

Along with our selection to test Disney’s MagicBands on our recent trip came the ability to select and reserve FastPass+ attraction/show times in advance of our trip.
