Well Hello Magic: A Disney Planning & Experience Podcast
Jessica Mickelson is the voice behind Well Hello Magic, a Disney-loving mom of four, former therapist, podcast host, content creator, and trusted expert in Disney vacation planning for families, moms, and first-time travelers. She is also part of a proud military family, bringing an added layer of understanding to planning trips around real-life schedules, budgets, and seasons of change.
A lifelong Disney fan raised on Main Street magic and Mickey-shaped memories, Jessica helps families confidently plan trips to Walt Disney World, Disneyland, and Disney Cruise Line without overwhelm, burnout, or blowing the budget. Her approach to Disney trip planning focuses on realistic expectations, thoughtful strategies, and creating meaningful experiences that work for real families.
As a mom who has done Disney with toddlers, teens, grandparents, large groups, and multigenerational families, Jessica shares real-world Disney planning advice rooted in emotional insight and hands-on experience. From stroller-friendly itineraries to thrill-ride strategies, from solo trips to girls’ weekends and group vacations of 14 or more, she gives listeners the tools to plan Disney vacations that feel magical and manageable.
On the Well Hello Magic podcast, Jessica shares Disney vacation tips, park planning strategies, Lightning Lane guidance, event guides like Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party and Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, and honest reflections on the emotional side of Disney travel. Episodes feature expert guests and fellow Disney-loving moms who understand the balance between preparation, flexibility, and enjoying the moment.
