016. Rope Drop Like Your Vacation Depends on It 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.

Set the alarm, grab the coffee, and move with purpose.

In this episode, we break down our rope drop strategies. What rides are actually worth the early wake-up, which ones can wait, and why you’re out of your mind if you rope drop TRON.

From first-hour game plans to post-drop game plans, we’re talking tactics, timing, and a little bit of chaos, all in the name of starting your Disney day strong.

Thank you for listening!
