002. How to Fail at One-and-Done Artwork

We Did This to Ourselves

Thank you for listening!

We Did This to Ourselves is a Disney podcast from Jon and Stefanie, a married couple from Ohio with two teens and a thousand opinions. What started as a “we’ll probably only go once” family vacation turned into being casually obsessed. And now we’re spending our evenings ranking dark rides, rewatching Beauty and the Beast, and playing Disney soundtracks in the kitchen like it’s totally normal. And we know we're not alone.

From the parks to the playlists, the movies to the Mickey bars, we’re talking through it all—with strong opinions, occasional judgment, and a whole lot of love.

Casual, honest, funny, and slightly frazzled. Just like any good trip to Magic Kingdom. Or any couple deep in their Disney era.

002. How to Fail at One-and-Done

July 07, 2025 • Jon and Stef: Married. Casually obsessed with Disney. • Season 1 • Episode 2

This was supposed to be a one-and-done trip. You know—make the memories, take the photos, never go back.

In this episode, we’re rewinding to our very first family trip to Disney World. How it got delayed (thanks, pandemic), what we thought we were getting into, and how it somehow turned us into people who now have a Disney podcast. We’re sharing the best and worst moments, rookie mistakes, unexpected magic, and the exact moment we realized wanted to go back.

Plus, we reveal our biggest planning fail, our heat-induced meltdown moment, and the ride that surprised us most.

Thank you for listening!
