If you’ve ever fallen down a rabbit hole of Disney travel advice, you know how quickly it can turn into information overload. Everyone seems to have an opinion, and half of it is outdated advice that just doesn’t fit how families actually travel anymore. In this episode, I’m calling out the Disney myths that need to disappear and sharing what really works when it comes to Disney World planning that feels calm, doable, and actually fun.

We’ll talk through the Disney travel advice that’s worth ignoring, the Disney myths that make vacations more stressful than magical, and how to replace all that outdated advice with a laid-back mindset that helps your family plan smarter. Whether you’re brand new to Disney World planning or just tired of sifting through bad tips, this episode is here to make things easier.

Here’s what you’ll hear inside:

  • The most common pieces of Disney travel advice that make trips harder, not better
  • Why some Disney myths have stuck around for years and what to do instead
  • How outdated advice still spreads (and how to spot it fast)
  • What modern Disney World planning looks like for real families
  • How to use practical, stress-free strategies that keep the magic fun

What’s the worst piece of Disney travel advice you’ve ever followed? Let me know your thoughts over on IG: @somewhereworthwhile.
