We Did This to Ourselves
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.
