Let’s be real—planning a family trip to Disney World can feel like a ton of bricks when you’re trying to manage all the personalities, interests, and dynamics in a family.
In today’s episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on what really goes down when you’re managing expectations—from toddlers to in-laws—on a family trip to Disney World. Whether you're navigating a multigenerational family vacation or just trying to survive a meltdown-filled park day, we’re diving into the real magic: family dynamics, and how to handle them without needing a second vacation to recover.
In this episode, I’ll spill:
- Why someone will 100% have a meltdown—and what you can do about it before it becomes a group activity on your family trip to Disney
- How to prep your people (big and small) so expectations match reality—without feeling like you’re hosting a TED Talk for your family at Disney World
- The secret to splitting up without feeling like you’re ruining the “togetherness” of your multigenerational family vacations
- My go-to method for making each person on your family trip to Disney feel like the trip was designed just for them
Here’s the thing—planning the logistics is one thing, but managing the emotions, expectations, and energy of your family at Disney World is another level entirely.
So whether you’re heading out on one of those epic multigenerational family vacations or simply tackling your first family trip to Disney, this episode is going to give you a little more confidence.
Here’s the big question: What’s your biggest challenge when it comes to managing the people (not just the plans) on your family trip to Disney World? Let me know your thoughts over on IG: @somewhereworthwhile.

Boysober
Have you ever wondered what life might be like if you stopped worrying about being wanted, and focused on understanding what you actually want? That was the question Hope Woodard asked herself after a string of situationships inspired her to take a break from sex and dating. She went "boysober," a personal concept that sparked a global movement among women looking to prioritize themselves over men. Now, Hope is looking to expand the ways we explore our relationship to relationships. Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patterns—all with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.
