Planning for your first time to Disney World and already feeling the pressure to “do it all”? 

Deep breath, friend - I’m here to help you not lose your mind before you even get to Main Street.

In this episode, I’m sharing everything I wouldn’t do on a first Disney trip, and what I absolutely would - because your first time to Disney World shouldn’t feel like a stressful marathon of matching outfits and overbooked character meals.

I’m sharing the no-fluff advice I wish I could give every Disney first timer - so if you’re looking for Disney World tips for first timers that skip the overwhelm and make space for flexibility (and actual fun), you’re in the right place.

In this episode, I cover:

  • The biggest mistake I see on nearly every first Disney trip (and how to avoid it)
  • Why trying to “do it all” as a Disney first timer usually backfires - and what to do instead
  • The dining strategy I always recommend for a stress-free first time to Disney World
  • How to simplify your schedule with these underrated Disney World tips for first timers
  • What I wish every mom knew before their first time to Disney - especially when it comes to kids’ expectations (and your own)

If your browser has 87 open tabs about your first Disney trip, consider this your permission slip to simplify. This episode gives you permission to drop the pressure and actually enjoy your first time to Disney World.

So tell me - what’s one thing you're or stressing over as a Disney first timer? Let’s chat about it over on IG: @somewhereworthwhile
