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.

041. Disney's Best and Worst: Best Lightning Lane Selections

Lightning Lanes are those things that sound simple until you're under the gun at 7am, a week before your park day, making decisions you're not caffeinated enough to make.

This week, Stef and I trade picks for our best Lightning Lane selections across Single Pass, Tier 1, and Tier 2. We mostly agree on the obvious stuff, but we've got some curveballs in there based on how the parks have been running lately. We also cover another round of Disney news and spend a little time talking about how Stef would improve ride testing in the parks to make it more "fun."

Strap in. We did the homework so you can pretend you did.

Thank you for listening!
