The Best Disney Planning Podcast For Families
Real talk. Real trips. Real life with kids.
Why Listen to Well Hello Magic
Well Hello Magic is a family-focused Disney World planning podcast for parents who want realistic, low-stress vacations without burnout.
Hosted by Jessica Mickelson, a Disney mom of four, former therapist, and longtime Disney traveler, the podcast blends practical Disney planning strategies with emotional insight and real-life experience. Jessica helps families understand how Disney works, why it feels overwhelming, and what actually makes a trip feel magical and manageable.
Each episode may include:
Disney news and updates, explained clearly for families and parents
Step-by-step planning breakdowns for parks, resorts, Lightning Lane systems, and special events
Honest trip recaps, including what worked, what didn’t, and what no one talks about
Interviews with Disney experts, creators, and parents who do Disney differently
Real conversations about burnout, expectations, mental load, and motherhood
The goal isn’t to plan Disney perfectly. It’s to help you plan Disney confidently, calmly, and realistically—in a way that works for your family.
Every episode is designed to leave you thinking:
“Okay… I feel informed, prepared, and a lot less overwhelmed.”
