About this listen

We Did This to Ourselves is a Disney podcast from Jon and Stefanie, a married couple from Ohio with two teens and a thousand opinions. What started as a “we’ll probably only go once” family vacation turned into being casually obsessed. And now we’re spending our evenings ranking dark rides, rewatching Beauty and the Beast, and playing Disney soundtracks in the kitchen like it’s totally normal. And we know we're not alone.


From the parks to the playlists, the movies to the Mickey bars, we’re talking through it all—with strong opinions, occasional judgment, and a whole lot of love.

Casual, honest, funny, and slightly frazzled—just like any good trip to Magic Kingdom. Or any couple deep in their Disney era.

    Aug 18 2025

    Think you can outsmart the wait times at Disney World? We’re putting our Lightning Lane strategy to the test. From booking on the app before your morning coffee to modifying during the day, we share what worked, what didn’t, and why we’ll still never wait 15 minutes for Under the Sea in Magic Kingdom.

    Plus, we reveal a little-talked-about tool that helped us outsmart the Disney app when booking our rides.

    Thank you for listening!

    007. The Magic of Renting DVC Points
    Aug 11 2025

    Want to stay at a deluxe Disney resort without selling a kidney? In this episode, we break down how we use the DVC Rental Store to book amazing stays for less — from finding availability to what to expect when you check in. We share our own experiences, tips for first-timers, and the pros and cons you should know before renting points. And while we do talk a lot about the DVC Rental Store, that’s just because we’re slightly obsessed… not because we’ve been paid in Mickey bars.

    Thank you for listening!

    006. Are We Disney Adults?
    Aug 4 2025

    We’re back from our Disney trip... and deep in the post-vacation reflection.

    In this episode, we talk about what it’s like to come down from the Disney high. The weird things we miss, the things we definitely don’t, and how quickly we found ourselves watching fireworks videos and texting about future trips.

    Plus: We anticipate the new book Disney Adults and we ask ourselves the question we’ve been avoiding, "Are we Disney Adults now?"
