Second Dad to the Right
In December of 2017, I got tricked into taking my wife, two daughters, mother-in-law, and grandmother-in-law to Disney World. Since then, I've been obsessed with Disney- with how peaceful it makes me feel and how magical it is for my kids. We've taken over a dozen trips, several Disney Cruises, and added a baby boy. So I started Second Dad to the Right to give tips from thorough research and first-hand experience to help other families experience the magic the same way we do. My perspective is somewhat unique for a Disney blogger in that I'm not an Orlando native, passholder, or DVC owner, just a regular dad navigating booking, travel, school absences, and work schedules. I go to Disney and I know things. I am Second Dad to the Right.
