100: What’s Next for Well Hello Magic? Disney Podcast 100th Episode Celebration

Hitting 100 episodes feels surreal.

When I launched Well Hello Magic 2½ years ago, I didn’t know exactly what it would become—I just knew I wanted a space to talk honestly about Disney, family travel, and what it really looks like to plan trips with kids in real life. Not highlight-reel Disney. Real Disney. Strollers, meltdowns, magic, exhaustion, joy, and everything in between.

Episode 100 isn’t just a celebration—it’s a pause, a reflection, and a look ahead. This milestone episode pulls back the curtain on where Well Hello Magic has been, where it’s going next, and what you can expect for the rest of 2025 and into 2026.

What This Episode Covers

This episode is less about teaching one specific Disney strategy and more about sharing the bigger picture—the evolution of the podcast, upcoming content, and the dreams I’ve been quietly working toward behind the scenes.

In Episode 100, we talk about:

  • Why this milestone matters so much to me

  • What’s coming next on the podcast

  • How the show is expanding (hello, YouTube!)

  • Big Disney travel goals I’m planning

  • The vision behind The Enchanted Escape retreat

  • Why community matters more than ever

Reflecting on 100 Episodes of Well Hello Magic

One hundred episodes means hundreds of planning questions answered, thousands of families helped, and countless moments where listeners told me, “This made me feel seen.”

This podcast has grown alongside my own family. As my kids have aged, the conversations here have shifted too—from stroller strategy and nap schedules to managing expectations, emotional regulation, and what it means to travel with growing kids and changing needs.

Well Hello Magic has never been about doing Disney “perfectly.” It’s about doing Disney intentionally.

What’s Coming Next on the Podcast

New Guest Episodes (Starting with My Sister!)

One of the most exciting shifts coming is more guest conversations—starting with a very special family episode featuring my sister. These episodes will blend Disney planning with real family dynamics, memories, and shared experiences.

Future guests will include:

  • Fellow Disney parents

  • Content creators

  • Planners

  • Voices who bring fresh perspectives to family travel

Deeper Disney Planning Episodes

Expect more in-depth planning episodes that go beyond surface-level tips, including:

  • How to choose the right resort for your family

  • Park strategy based on your kids’ ages

  • Managing overstimulation and burnout

  • Realistic itineraries (not rope drop to fireworks every day)

Conversations Beyond the Parks

Disney is the anchor—but this podcast also explores:

  • Motherhood and identity

  • Slowing down

  • Creating meaningful family memories

  • Letting go of perfection

Well Hello Magic Is Expanding to YouTube

For the first time, episodes will also be available on YouTube.

This opens the door to:

  • Visual planning breakdowns

  • Face-to-face conversations

  • A deeper connection with listeners who prefer watching along

You’ll still be able to listen wherever you get your podcasts—but now you’ll have the option to watch too.

Big Disney Dreams for 2025 and 2026

This episode also gives you a peek into my Disney wish list—resorts I want to experience, new adventures I’m planning, and trips that will shape future content.

Some of these trips are about research and planning.
Some are about rest.
Some are about experiencing Disney in new ways.

All of them feed into creating better, more thoughtful content for you.

The Enchanted Escape Retreat

One of the biggest dreams I share in this episode is The Enchanted Escape—a retreat designed for women and moms who love Disney, creativity, and community.

This isn’t just a Disney trip.
It’s a space to:

  • Rest

  • Create

  • Connect

  • Dream bigger

The Enchanted Escape represents the heart of Well Hello Magic—bringing people together through shared joy.

Questions Answered in This Episode

Listeners often ask:

  • Where is the podcast headed next?

  • Will there be more guest episodes?

  • How is Well Hello Magic evolving?

  • What’s coming in 2025 and 2026?

  • Is YouTube really happening?

  • How can listeners be more involved?

Episode 100 answers all of that—and more.

Who This Episode Is For

This episode is for:

  • Longtime listeners who’ve been here since the early days

  • New listeners curious about what Well Hello Magic is all about

  • Disney parents looking for honest, realistic planning content

  • Moms navigating changing seasons of family life

  • Anyone who loves Disney but wants less pressure and more presence

Why 100 Episodes Matters

Reaching 100 episodes isn’t about numbers—it’s about consistency, community, and showing up week after week.

It’s about choosing joy, even when life is loud.
It’s about finding magic in the ordinary.
And it’s about building something meaningful together.

What’s Next

We’re celebrating with a double episode week, exciting new content, and big plans ahead—because 100 episodes deserves nothing less.
