Planning your perfect Disney World trip only to spend half of it staring at your phone screen? Been there.


But if your goal this year is a Disney World trip that feels more magical and less like a never-ending scroll session, this episode is for you. I’m walking you through seven totally doable ways to stay off your phone during your next Disney World trip—without sacrificing the magic (or missing your Lightning Lanes).

Whether you're deep into Walt Disney World vacation planning or just trying to survive your first go at Disney World planning with three kids and a spreadsheet, I’ve got ideas you can start using right now to make your trip feel more present, less screeny.

In this episode, we’ll cover:

  • The surprisingly nostalgic tool I brought on a whim—and how it completely changed my Disney World planning style
  • The simplest swap that saved me from unlocking my phone 147 times a day during our last Disney World trip
  • Why using Standby Skipper might be the only time I’ll tell you to use your phone more (because it helps you use it less)
  • A low-effort dining strategy that gives your brain (and phone) a much-needed break during Disney World planning
  • How using a paper map and writing your plans down (yes, with a pen) could be the thing that finally shifts your Walt Disney World vacation planning from “constantly checking the app” to “actually enjoying your day.”

Do you have your own go-to trick for surviving the screen time spiral during your Disney World trip? Let me know your thoughts over on IG: @somewhereworthwhile.
