I think Walter should have his own channel because he is so darn cute 😍💗

[@christinavernoia540]

I'm going to Disney for my honeymoon and am so glad I stumbled upon your channel! Living vicariously through your Disney adventures until I can get there! :)

Ohhhh. Have the best time ever. I went three times this winter by myself. It was awesome. And so inexpensive. ,,,🎈🎈🎈

[@t.miller5184]

A perfect video to watch while I drink my tea in bed for Mother's Day!! I can't wait to watch all the up coming videos!!! Happy Mother's Day!!

[@JenLefforge]

Happy Mother’s Day to you as well!

[@shannone.3758]

Ahhh!!!! So excited to see how your trip went. And a little bummed to know we were at the parks at the same time but I didn't know to be on the lookout for you! 😉 Y'know even though I've been to the parks at least half a dozen times since they reopened I still thoroughly enjoy watching other trip recaps (especially yours!). It never gets old and I always seem to learn something new!

[@janine36]

I’m so excited for you. I hope you and your husband have a fabulous time. My husband and I just got back from our first vacation since January 2020. We weren’t ready for anything too far. We went to San Antonio and the Texas hill country. We live in the Houston area so it’s not too far, but far enough to make it feel like a vacation. We were celebrating our 26th wedding anniversary. We definitely spent time talking about getting back to WDW and reminiscing on past trips. It was really nice to get away from home and truly unplug from work. I’m looking forward to your upcoming videos. Enjoy!!

[@thecapetownfamily]

Enjoy dear!

[@rubygillis1]

I love your luggage!! So organized and secure!

[@tammydahl386]

I am excited to see all the vlogs from your trip! I am always excited and nervous before I travel.

Great hair!!!! Love this video series! Can’t wait to go to WDW with you! Lovely home. 👍🏻🥰🥰

[@trouble0702]

yay for finally going stay safe on your happy visit back home.

[@CoralJoyTravel]

I have missed your face and voice and cannot wait to hear what you thought! So thrilled that Scott was able to join you in this adventurous first trip since early 2020!!

[@JenLefforge]

I can’t wait until we can go together again!

[@HappilyPlanningWithKaren]

Jen, I’m so so happy for you 🎉🎉🎉 and very slightly GREEN WITH ENVY ❤️❤️❤️❤️

You’ll be back home before you know it Karen!!!!

Ok I am way too excited now :-) Oooh Walter honey, did they not take you? How rude! ;-) HEY JEN! Welcome back! I'm so glad you had a lovely vacation and I can not wait to see some Disney footaaagggeeeee aaaaaahhhhh :-)

[@melissaclark4398]

We are also going this week. We are also getting our very first owners locker. Have a great trip!

[@JenLefforge]

It was so easy Melissa! And the hotel knew exactly how to handle it.

[@loridaou2897]

Your tips are so helpful. Can you share more about the folding garment rack? Which one and where is that from? Also, I think it’s the best gift to the self to clean before a trip. I used to think my mom was insane when she made us clean before a trip. Lol. I was like, make it clean for a thief? Lol. We lived in a so so neighborhood. Now I know it’s a gift upon return!!! Love. Your positivity that is genuine is so great.

[@JenLefforge]

It’s from the Container Store and I don’t think they sell it anymore but you can find a bunch online. And yes to a gift upon return! Agreed!

[@MicheleMaBelle67]

Here we go... Love your hair. Congratulations on your 30th Congratulations on being fully vaxed You’ll love the Owners Locker and wonder what took you so long to get one. Looking forward to your updates. Stay safe and Have a Great Trip!

[@debbieschmidt1661]

How funny, you came to Orlando, I went to Athens Georgia for my daughter's gymnastics meet. Sorry, for the hot weather in Florida....we were having good temps for awhile but I knew it couldn't or wouldn't last forever.

[@charleneknottsrubini2220]

I love the curly hair! You’re both vaccinated so let yourself relax!

[@alyssaa3533]

Great video!!! Side note - it’s been amazing watching your number of views go up on your videos and your subscribers also! You deserve it!

[@JenLefforge]

Alyssa, thank you so much! I always try to bring you guys my best work so I'll take it!

[@princesspaulabelle]

Yay for travel day. So excited for your trip. Can't wait to see vlogs

[@walkswithholly4610]

You crack me up girl! I am the same way however, when it comes to being excited about a trip to DISNEY!! We had our Disneyland family trip canceled - as the Parks closed one week(!) before we were supposed to go last year (March 2020). We have been sitting on Disneyland (3 day) passes for over a year now, and we still can't go because they are only letting CA residents go right now. I know that when the time comes when we finally get to do this long awaited family Disneyland trip I am going to be doing my happy dance! I am going to be burning with excitement! This has been my Dream to take my husband & all 4 of my kids, so when the day comes I am going to be shaking with excitement!! So I know how you are feeling - for sure! Hope your trip was great!

[@JenLefforge]

I just booked a trip to Disneyland and fingers crossed out of state visitors are allowed by then!!

[@MISSLEONAJB]

Hey Jen 🤗 I’m so excited for your trip - eeeeek so exciting xx

[@Kshine02]

Omg 😲 love😍 that coffee mug☕!

[@oliviaarnaud6030]

We love our owner lockers, we ordered one for our first DVC trip and ended up getting a second one before the trip was over 🤦‍♀️ so useful all we have to pack for trips now is our clothes, which leaves so much room in the suitcases for loot! But, just FYI, DVC still has to pay the monthly/annual membership fees and delivery fees for the lockers, they just give us six months free when you first sign up 😊

[@JenLefforge]

I should have said SIGN UP FEE waived not membership fee. And that is the current deal - sign up feee waived and first 6 months free. So glad you like yours!

[@selinametalslasha]

Jen!! No way!! So happy for you!!

[@willcooper6980]

Thanks for sharing portions of your home I'd never seen before. You may have shown them on your other channel before, but I watch that one very seldom.

[@JenLefforge]

We truly love our home!!

[@Ashleew]

Happy Mother’s Day! Yay Disney vlogs. We wanted so badly to go this summer but decided to wait until winter where we can eat outdoors comfortably or kids get vaccinated.

[@JenLefforge]

Ashlee I think that was a fantastic call.

[@tiatl10]

your hair is beautiful just like ur spirit hope you enjoy this trip you guys deserve it:)

[@JenLefforge]

What a lovely comment! Thank you!

[@stephaniedecamp2362]

That's great! Have fun!!!

[@_MichelleKim]

Never clicked so fast! Can't wait to see all the vlogs and live vicariously through you❤️ So happy for you and Scott! I also thoroughly enjoyed the cleaning montage😆

[@dinasmith8277]

i love to watch you pack!!!!! Im getting those away carry on bags for myself , my husband and boys for Christmas (we are also doing a week in Disney in January with my parents). I envy your organizational skills! WE just went to Disney in June for my son's high school graduation. We were also all excited we could all be vaccinated before the trip (we did take a short trip in October unvaccinated, and I was much more on edge). Can't wait to watch the rest of your videos on the trip!

[@dinasmith8277]

....and by the way....wow your curls are so beautiful!!!

[@JenLefforge]

Thank you so much, Dina!

[@webcreatrix]

I'm a week behind you!

[@tiatl10]

1 I’m excited and 2 I need that mug

[@christinar7900]

I went to Disney right after I was fully vaccinated as well. My first night three before going to the parks I had a mini panic attack about crowds. I was just as nervous. I will say that since the crowds are mostly outside it wasn’t as bad as I thought. But still avoided shops and eating indoors. Everyone copes in different ways.

[@mvgf76]

Have fun and safe travels

[@TheBartonFamilyAdventures]

Can’t wait to follow along. Xx

going last week of august for a week! so excited!

So excited for this trip and YAY glad you're loving the purse! I also get that nautious excited feeling, kinda anxious I'm so excited lol

[@JenLefforge]

Yeah I think because I hadn’t travelled in so long it was definitely heightened!! I can’t wait to bring you all the videos and to start editing (I know you get that - it’s like reliving the trip!)

Good to see you again, Jen. Well, I'm almost as excited for you as you are for you! Have a blast, and am looking forward to being filled in on all of your adventures. Safe, blessed travels. Stay cool🥰😎

[@lesliec.7796]

I hope you’re having the most MAGICAL time with your hubby!! Very happy for you!❤️🌈

[@richardamoss5904]

It was SO HOT!! We were there May 1-7. Confused about washer and dryer.... they have free laundry facilities for all DVC... so even if we don't have one in our room, we use the ones on site.

[@JenLefforge]

We weren’t staying DVC this time!

[@kimt8162]

I completely understand the mixed feelings; we went on a trip over Spring Break. Yes, nervous, excited, at one time literally apprehensive;it will likely feel different on this trip. You, like me couldn't hold out much longer. I'm glad we went, but I'm also glad we're back. It sounds like you are staying at some primo/nice places. Have fun!!!

[@theresa7744]

🥰 I’m so so excited for you, but sad for Walter 😊 This is going to be awesome to watch! Can’t wait for your honest thoughts on a trip to Disney 😊

[@JenLefforge]

Well we are on our way home to him now!! We really missed him.

Hope you had a great trip! The music playing when you were speed cleaning reminds me of a 70's sitcom!

[@kathleenquinn4239]

I also went to Disneyworld after I was fully vaccinated mid-April. I made the reservation as soon as I was able to get the vaccine.

[@morganc1038]

This was such a treat to wake up to!!! We go to WDW for the very first time next week and I’m excited but also nervous. I wish I could binge watch all your videos about your trip now! Hope you had a fantastic time and thanks for your videos. They’ve been such a comfort this past year.

[@tara5393]

YAY! So happy you got to go to your happy place Jen! We leave at the end of June for our first trip to Disney with our son. We have been many times before but this will be the first time with a child :) I hope you had an amazing trip. I look forward to your upcoming videos. They will be on my watch list to prepare for our Disney Trip. Thanks for always spreading joy to so many!

[@jenniferrundle6870]

I'm surprised by how much I loved the Gran Destino tower and really the whole property! We are more of the "tighter bubble" folks, like monorail, ferry, skyliner nearby...But our view of Expedition Everest and the lake was dreamy! Recommend the 3 Bridges Grill!

[@JJ-zl5tx]

So glad you are getting back at it! Been too long to be away from the magic.

[@nicolegroves6080]

I’m so excited for a trip report! We are on the books for a November multigenerational trip so I’m looking for good info on WDW at this strange time

[@JenLefforge]

Yeah, I'll be sharing a lot more specifics but I'm sure things will have changed a lot even in November!

[@alexsandrakelly7586]

If I can't go watching YOU go is wonderful!! Hoping there are some loooong park and resort vlogs coming soon❤

[@shelleymaclean3301]

I am excited to hear both the good , but also the disappointing points of the trip. I appreciate a truthful view of what it is like at the moment. We are supposed to go in November, but I am not sure it will happen. But, still doing all the homework each trip needs and now we have to add in a whole level of new things to think about.

[@melanieb7445]

So excited to see these next videos. I had an inkling that maybe (just maybe!!) you were going away to Disney. And to see your Instagram pics yesterday.....well, I was so excited for you. I can’t wait to hear all about it. Including what it was like to wear masks all day in that heat. 😬 I also wanted to say that we just closed on our first DVC contract a few weeks ago and your channel was the very first I found on all things DVC and you were instrumental in helping us learn and then decide to buy in. Our first DVC trip is in October and we even booked a Disneyland trip for next month (we’re in CA) bc we just can’t wait until October! Thanks, Jen for all you do...it truly made a difference in our decision. 💞🏰

[@harunatakahashi3335]

I'm intrigued. I thought the owner's locker was something that was part of the resorts, not a third party. I thought it would be like a storage unit you have to go to, but now that I know it's delivered onsite, I will be looking hard at this when it come time, especially since we plan on being annual passholders at both Disney and Universal.

[@ThemeParkNut]

Wow! A surprise trip! Well a surprise to us. Excited to see how this all plays out for you both! 👍👍

Have a fantastic time and take it easy!

So excited for you! We took a local trip this week instead of our pre-planned Disney/Universal trip. Masks and heat and a 2-3 year old didn’t cross my mind when I originally made my plans 🤪. I’m so happy you and Scott got to go. I’ve missed your content ❤️
