Let’s talk tech - aka the actually useful apps on your phone that keep your Disney trip feeling magical (instead of like a meltdown waiting to happen).
In today’s episode, I’m diving into the must-have Disney World apps and other tech that help me avoid meltdowns (mine and my toddler’s), minimize the chaos, and yes - even enjoy my trip.
This isn’t your typical “download the My Disney Experience app and pray” episode. I’m sharing the full stack - from the best Disney World app to track Lightning Lanes for you (because I don’t have time to refresh a screen while wrangling a juice box), to the surprisingly handy tool that helps me build my entire Walt Disney World planning spreadsheet on-the-go.
In this episode, I’m covering:
- The Disney World app I call the babysitter for your Lightning Lanes - and why you’ll never plan a trip without it again.
- My not-so-glamorous hack for turning Google Sheets into a magical Walt Disney World planning spreadsheet (that actually stays updated and isn’t scribbled on with crayon).
- The one Disney planning app I recommend if you just want someone (or something) else to deal with 6 a.m. dining reservations.
- The best Disney World app to help you skip more lines, carry less junk, and show up to Magic Kingdom.
- And, the airport Starbucks app trick that makes me feel like a genius every single time.
If your current Disney planning app strategy is “I pinned some stuff once,” don’t worry. I got you.
What’s your go-to tech for keeping Disney chaos under control? Let me know over on IG: @somewhereworthwhile.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
