We’re back at Disney World—and slightly more competent this time. In this episode, we kick off our most recent family trip with stories from our arrival day, our stay at Wilderness Lodge (yes, it lives up to the hype), our first Magic Kingdom day, and why your kids are flipping out in Disney World.

We also reflect on how this trip felt different from our first: Stef got more involved in the planning, Jon got way too excited about the lobby smell, and somehow we still found ourselves in a chaotic Uber situation and chasing a missing MagicBand.

Plus: Magic Candle Co. candles, Christmas trip FOMO, and the joys of a Steakhouse 71 stack burger.

🪄 We Did This to Ourselves: A Disney fan podcast from two married people who love planning vacations, overthinking snacks, and making it weird.

This was supposed to be a one-and-done trip. You know—make the memories, take the photos, never go back.

In this episode, we’re rewinding to our very first family trip to Disney World. How it got delayed (thanks, pandemic), what we thought we were getting into, and how it somehow turned us into people who now have a Disney podcast. We’re sharing the best and worst moments, rookie mistakes, unexpected magic, and the exact moment we realized wanted to go back.

Plus, we reveal our biggest planning fail, our heat-induced meltdown moment, and the ride that surprised us most.

🪄 We Did This to Ourselves: A Disney fan podcast from two married people who love planning vacations, overthinking snacks, and making it weird.

We didn’t mean to become Disney people. But then we planned the trip. Paid for the trip. Walked 14 miles in 94-degree heat to ride Rise of the Resistance—and somewhere along the way, we became casually obsessed.

In our very first episode, we (Jon and Stef) introduce ourselves, talk about how two moderately skeptical Ohio parents turned into slightly unhinged Disney obsessives, and explain what this podcast is—and what it definitely isn’t. Plus: how we're fighting the post-trip Disney blues, the Instagram reels we can’t stop watching, and a Lightning Lane round of rapid-fire Disney opinions to set the tone.

From the porch. With drinks. Welcome in.
