If you've ever dreamed of a stress-free trip to Disneyland with your little ones—but ended up feeling like you needed a fairy godmother—this episode is for you.

We're joined by the brilliant and magical Katie Jo Lauren Cassidy, aka the Fairy Guide Mother, a Disneyland travel nanny with a background in early childhood education. With years of experience guiding families through the happiest (but also busiest) place on earth, Katie Jo shares her secrets for navigating lines, managing meltdowns, and making sure every family—neurodivergent kiddos included—gets to experience the magic.

Whether you're a first-time Disney parent or a seasoned passholder still feeling overwhelmed by the app and the planning, this episode will change the way you vacation.

✨ Just a few of the questions we tackled in this episode:

  • How do I make Disneyland easier with toddlers?
  • What can I do to avoid meltdowns at Disneyland with young kids?
  • Is there childcare or nanny service available at Disneyland?
  • How do I help a child with autism enjoy Disneyland?
  • What’s the best way to plan a Disney trip with multiple kids of different ages?
