The Most Honest Disney Planning Podcast

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.”
