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.

003. We’re Back...and Slightly More Competent

July 14, 2025 • Jon and Stef: Married. Casually obsessed with Disney. • Season 1 • Episode 3

We’re back at Disney World—and slightly more competent this time. In this episode, we kick off our most recent family trip with stories from our arrival day, our stay at Wilderness Lodge (yes, it lives up to the hype), our first Magic Kingdom day, and why your kids are flipping out in Disney World.

We also reflect on how this trip felt different from our first: Stef got more involved in the planning, Jon got way too excited about the lobby smell, and somehow we still found ourselves in a chaotic Uber situation and chasing a missing MagicBand.

Plus: Magic Candle Co. candles, Christmas trip FOMO, and the joys of a Steakhouse 71 stack burger.

Thank you for listening!
