It’s November, and guess what that means for me?? A trip to Disney! After the October I’ve had, I totally need to escape to my happy place for a little bit. Someone recently asked me if I’d been to Disney World in November before and what the weather is like, and I realized this will be my first time visiting during the month of November. So I thought about it, and I discovered November is the only month I haven’t been! So this year I can check something off the bucket list: visit Disney World during every month of the year (though not in the same year, of course!).
