So, I may have thrown my entire list of personal Disney World rules out the window on our latest trip - and honestly? The results were surprising.

In this episode, I’m sharing what happened when I completely veered off course with my usual Disney World planning approach. I’m walking you through the real-life results of what happens when planning your Disney World trip doesn’t go according to plan. Some things worked out beautifully. Others? Not so much. But either way, I learned a lot - and you will too.

If you're deep into Disney World planning or overwhelmed by all the “must-dos” people swear by, this episode is a reminder that the “perfect trip” doesn’t always come from perfect plans.

In this episode, I’ll share:

  • The surprising upside of ignoring my usual Disney World rules
  • What happens when you skip my most recommended “break” while planning your Disney World trip
  • A few unexpected things to do at Disney World that became unexpected highlights
  • How bending your Disney World planning standards might actually make your trip better
  • Why your personal Disney World rules might not be as essential as you think

This one’s for the magic-makers who want to feel less pressure while planning your Disney World trip - and still walk away with core memories your kids won’t stop talking about.

Which of your Disney World rules would be the hardest to break? Have you ever bent your own “rules” while planning your Disney World trip - and did it work out or backfire? Let me know your thoughts over on IG:  @somewhereworthwhile.
