Planning a Disney trip should be exciting, right? But somehow, 22% of guests leave Disney World feeling disappointed. So, what went wrong?

In this episode, I share exactly why some trips fall flat and how to plan a trip to Disney that actually feels magical for your family.

We’re diving into the five steps I use to create a Disney trip that’s manageable, memorable, and (dare I say) even fun to plan. Forget the stressful, go-go-go vacation. This episode is all about slowing down, setting intentions, and learning how to plan a trip to Disney that feels just as good in real life as it looks on Instagram.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why some Disney trips flop, and how to plan a trip to Disney that keeps you out of that 22% who leave feeling “meh.”
• How to set intentions for your 2025 Disney trip: This mindset shift will change how you approach every aspect of planning—from resorts to dining to attractions.
• Why forcing Disney’s schedule on your family can backfire—and what to do instead.
• How saying no to viral “must-dos” can actually save your sanity (and make your 2025 Disney trip even better).
