Kim planned a Disney trip! She's using Marriott points to stay on property as Disney World, and we're talking at length about how the Swan, Dolphin and Swan Reserve compare to renting DVC. Plus, you'll learn even more ways to save money on tickets by combining credit card promos and shopping portals like TopCashBack. Because we love a deal, we'll share how we feed our families when there's no free breakfast or grocery deliveries available. Speaking of a good deal: will they pay $25/night for a rollaway bed at the Swolphin, or will Kim's husband sleep on this mat during their stay? Tune in for her future trip report to find out!

Summer didn't fall in love with Walt Disney World until she was an adult, but then she fell hard.

Listen as Summer talks about her goal to stay at every Disney World Resort, her upcoming Disneyland trip which she paid for completely with points and miles, and why if she were a Disney character, she would be Moana!
