Hey Disney family 🤍

I’m so glad you’re here.

Welcome to Well Hello Magic, the space where all my Disney thoughts, planning strategies, and real life mom perspective finally had somewhere to land.

I’m Jessica, therapist by trade, Disney kid turned Disney mom, and the voice behind Well Hello Magic. When I’m not breaking down Disney planning or Disney news, you can usually find me running our yard sign business, teaching cookie decorating classes, or parenting four Mouseketeers in training who keep me very grounded in reality.

I married my real life prince charming in 2009, though if we’re being honest, he’s much more Flynn Rider than Prince Eric. We spent our wedding day at Disneyland, which pretty much tells you everything you need to know about us. We’re a proud military family, Disney Vacation Club members, D23 Gold members, and people who truly believe the magic does not have to stop when you leave the parks.

Disney has been part of my life for over 30 years. But becoming a mom completely changed how I experienced it.

I vividly remember my first trip with my oldest, standing in a park I knew inside and out and wondering why I felt so overwhelmed. I realized something important in that moment. Knowing Disney does not automatically prepare you to do Disney as a parent. You need different strategies to be both the planner and a present participant in the vacation.

Over the last 11 plus years, I’ve blended my experience as a therapist with countless trips as a mom of four to develop realistic, sustainable ways to do Disney without burnout, guilt, or the pressure to do it all. And in 2022 I decided it was time to share it with a bigger audience! My goal is simple. Help you minimize stress so your Disney vacation actually feels like a vacation for you, not just your kids.

Well Hello Magic is also built around community. I run three broadcast channels on Instagram where I get to connect with you daily in different ways. The Podcast Crew is where we talk about episodes, behind the scenes moments, and deeper conversations sparked by the show. The Pixie Dust Planning Crew is all about practical Disney planning tips, strategy shifts, and real time updates that help you feel prepared and confident. The Magic Makers is where we talk about finding joy beyond the parks, creating magic at home, and navigating motherhood, creativity, and everyday life with intention. These spaces are where the conversations happen, questions get answered, and the magic feels personal.

Here at Well Hello Magic, you’ll find honest planning advice, clear breakdowns, real life experiences, and reminders that joy does not come from perfection. It comes from feeling prepared, confident, and present.

If you’ve ever loved Disney but felt overwhelmed by planning, expectations, or the mental load that comes with family travel, you’re in the right place.

I’m so happy you’re here, and I can’t wait to go on this journey with you ✨
