Beschrijving

Not every Lightning Lane is created equal. Some of them are just a slightly faster way to be disappointed. This week, we go through our worst Lightning Lane picks across Individual, Tier 1, and Tier 2. We talk about why one of Magic Kingdom's most recognizable rides probably isn't even worth burning a pick on, and a once-must-do that has disappointingly slid into the "...eh" category.  We also hit some Disney news, learn what "May-cember" is and spend some time thinking through what summer traffic patterns and wait times are going to look like now that parts of Magic Kingdom and Hollywood Studios are getting back to normal. Spoiler: probably long. The answer is probably long.

049. Disney's Best and Worst: Best Snacks

Sometimes you just have to sit with your favorite people and talk about the merits of grease in a baked good and if something can actually be too sweet. In this episode, we discuss our Top 3 snacks throughout Disney World property, most of which we'd commit small crimes to obtain. For those who have listened before, we talk about some new eats but also return to several snacks and that personify the phrase, "I just can't quit you." We also cover some Disney news, talk through planning for our next trip, and make a pretty compelling case for why putting a dessert on a stick is a recipe for a good time. Hit that play button and keep your snickerdoodle recipe handy!

048. Disney World Lightning Lanes 2026: Everything to Know Before You Go

Nobody ever showed up to Disney World and said, 'I really wish I had no idea what I was doing with these Lightning Lanes." And yet, here we are. This week, we break down everything you need to know about Lightning Lanes in 2026: tested strategies for booking, tools that actually help, and how to make the most of a service that costs roughly the same as a small car payment.  We also hit some Disney news and blues and a fresh round of Lightning Lane questions. Get ready to hear "Lightning Lanes" more times in one episode than anyone in the history of small Disney podcasts. You're welcome.  Thank you for listening! 🏰 We Did This to Ourselves: A Disney fan podcast from two married people who love planning vacations, overthinking snacks, and making it weird. 💬 Follow Us Instagram: instagram.com/we.did.this.to.ourselves/ [https://www.instagram.com/we.did.this.to.ourselves?igsh=MWo0MGthZ21wYnFkOQ%3D%3D&utm_source=qr] ⚡️ Have a Lightning Lane question, hot take, or snack opinion?

047. Disney's Best and Worst: Worst Sounds

Disney's sound design is genuinely impressive. The people, however, are a different story. This week, we get a little cynical and work through our worst sounds from around Disney property including pre-show annoyances, shrill, rhythmic beeping that follows you from land to land and resort to resort, and the self-proclaimed Disney historians and the people who enable them. We also round it out with some Disney news and blues. Sorry folks, some sounds you just can't unhear. This episode is full of them.

046. EPCOT is Finally Showing Off

World Discovery doesn't have much going on in the way of food or atmosphere. What it does have is two of the best rides in all of Disney World, which turns out to be enough. This week, we talk about why Guardians of the Galaxy is the best ride on property, how the new Test Track is actually really solid, and explain why Mission Space is a ride we wouldn't touch with a ten foot pole. There's not a lot of snacking happening in this corner of EPCOT, but when you're carrying that kind of horsepower, you don't really need a pickle in a pouch.  We also get through some Disney news and a new round of Lightning Lane questions. Come for the rides. There's nothing else here anyway.

045. Disney's Best and Worst: Best Sounds

Disney does a lot of things well, but the sounds might be the most underrated and memorable part of the whole operation. This week, Stef and I go through some of our favorite sounds from around Disney property: rides, transportation, park atmosphere, nighttime shows, and whatever it is about a Disney resort room that makes it feel like you're watching The Weather Channel at 2am.  We also talk over some Disney news and blues.  We didn't get to everything, and we already know you're going to scoff at what we missed. Go ahead. Tell us what we forgot.
