  • 091: How to Plan Your Perfect Day at Magic Kingdom for 2025 - 2026
    May 21 2025

    Planning a day at Magic Kingdom doesn’t have to feel like a marathon—or a meltdown waiting to happen. In this episode, I’m sharing a full walkthrough of how to plan a realistic Disney day for every kind of traveler: families with little kids, multigenerational groups, couples looking for fun and food, and everything in between.

    We’ll break down each of Magic Kingdom’s six lands (yes, all six!), and I’ll give you my best tips for deciding what to prioritize—whether that’s thrill rides, character meet-and-greets, or hidden gems that give your feet a break and your kids a magical moment.

    You’ll also learn:

    • How to schedule quick service meals with mobile ordering like a pro
    • When to book table service dining (and what’s actually worth it)
    • The smartest ways to budget your time so you’re not zig-zagging all over the park
    • How to build a plan that works for your group without burning out before fireworks
    • Why “less is more” is sometimes the key to a magical Disney day

    If you're someone who wants to ride the rides, eat the snacks, meet the characters, and keep everyone in your group happy (without needing a nap by 2 p.m.), this one’s for you.

  • 090: The Top 10 Disney Don’ts: What I Never Do at Walt Disney World (and You Shouldn’t Either)
    May 2 2025

    Send us a text

    Planning a Disney vacation can feel like navigating a whole new world—especially if you're heading to Walt Disney World with kids or tackling your first family trip to the parks. In this episode, Jessica from Well Hello Magic shares the Top 10 things she never does at Disney—and why you shouldn’t either.

    This isn’t about making a perfect Disney World itinerary. It’s about skipping the stress, the meltdowns, and the rookie mistakes so you can actually enjoy the magic. From avoiding the "do-it-all" trap to building in real rest time, this episode is a guide for moms who want a more intentional, joy-filled trip.

    Jessica walks you through the exact tips she uses when planning her own family vacations, including:

    • What not to do at Disney if you want to keep your sanity intact
    • Why mobile ordering is a non-negotiable time-saver
    • How to avoid common Disney World mistakes that derail a day fast
    • Why the new Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Single Pass system changes how you should plan your park mornings
    • How to build a stress-free Disney vacation (yes, it's possible!)
    • When to pivot, when to rest, and when to just eat the Mickey bar

    Whether you’re traveling with toddlers, teens, or grandparents—or all three at once—you’ll leave this episode with practical tools and a little bit of peace of mind.

    So before you hit “book now” on that resort stay or dive into ride strategy, tune in and take a breath. Because Disney World planning doesn’t have to feel overwhelming—and you deserve a trip that’s magical for you too.

    Apr 23 2025

    Send us a text

    In today’s episode, we’re covering a lot—from real talk on canceling a Disney trip to exciting news about 2026 vacation packages. First, I’m sharing why I made the tough call to cancel our Disney Easter trip just 24 hours before departure. If you’ve ever wondered how last-minute cancellations work, what you need to know about refunds, or if it’s ever the right choice for your family, this part’s for you.

    Then, we’re diving into the big updates for Disney 2026 bookings—yes, you can now book trips from January through October 2026! I’ll walk you through the new specials and why I think Disney is stepping up their game (maybe Epic Universe is putting on some pressure 👀). If you’ve been waiting for a sign to start planning, this might be it.

    And of course, we’re wrapping up with a little Disney fun—Halfway to Halloween is just around the corner, and I’ve got all the reasons to get excited. 🎃

    Let’s jump in and chat all things Disney—planning, pivoting, and all the magic in between!
