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.
