If you've ever felt like your brain is in full spreadsheet-mode 24/7 when planning a Disney trip... this episode is your sign.

Today, we’re tackling what no one wants to admit: you might be overplanning your Disney trip. 

And not just in the cute Pinterest-planning kind of way. I'm talking about the kind of Disney World itinerary stress that leaves you feeling mentally tapped out before you even see Cinderella Castle.

In this episode, I’m breaking down what overplanning your Disney World itinerary really looks like, why it happens (hi, perfectionism), and exactly what to do instead so your family Disney World trip actually feels like a vacation. 

Here’s what we get into:

  • The four sneaky signs you're deep into overplanning mode with your Disney trip — and how to spot them before the burnout kicks in
  • The reason you keep switching park days and dining reservations when planning a Disney trip and why it’s not about being indecisive
  • How an overly detailed Disney World itinerary can leave you feeling behind before noon
  • The 3-2-1 method I swear by for planning a Disney trip that’s fun and flexible
  • Why your best family Disney World trip doesn’t need to be a checklist of every ride and snack in the parks

Ready to get off the overplanning hamster wheel and create a Disney World itinerary that works with your real life? This one’s for you.

What’s the most ridiculous thing you’ve ever overplanned for your Disney trip? Spill the details over on IG: @somewhereworthwhile.
