Kya has been visiting Disney parks since 2018 and has spent 31 weeks inside the bubble, across the resorts and at sea, with a 32nd coming up at Aulani. Main Street Down Under is the Australian planning guide Kya wanted back at the start.
Kya has been visiting Disney parks since 2018. It adds up to 31 weeks inside the bubble so far: Walt Disney World, Disneyland Paris, Disneyland in California, and a run of sailings with Disney Cruise Line. Aulani in Hawaii is next, which will make it 32 weeks.
Planning these trips from Australia is a different job to planning them from anywhere else. Prices are quoted in the wrong currency, the flights are long and expensive, our school holidays never line up with the American ones, and most of the advice online quietly assumes a short drive rather than a day in the air. Main Street Down Under exists to close that gap: the same planning detail, written for people leaving from Australia and paying in Australian dollars.
Alongside the guides, Main Street Down Under runs a personal shopping service for park pins and merchandise, so Australian collectors can get hold of the things that have never been easy to buy from here.
