Stop Optimizing Your Disney World Trip and Start Enjoying It w/ Julie Voris

This week I sat down with Julie Voris, a content creator and Disney cast member who works PhotoPass in the parks.

This episode is for those who feel like the Disney World vacation is a giant to do list you are trying to survive.

We talk about how to slow down, find the joy, and actually enjoy the vacation you worked so hard to plan.

Julie is not a tips and tricks account, and that is exactly why I wanted her on. We get into how young is too young to take your kids, why your own memories matter just as much as theirs, and the trap of trying to do every single thing in one day.

Julie shares what she sees from behind the camera in the parks every week, and I share a few stories from my own family trips that taught me the same lessons the hard way.

We also dig into the stuff that quietly ruins good trips. Julie walks through how to plan a brutally hot August park day so nobody melts down, why heading back to the resort pool is not quitting, and how reading a little Disney history can change the way you see the parks.

I get honest about the spreadsheet families I worry about, and we both agree that value at Disney is subjective, so the bubble wand and the chocolate on the shirt belong in the picture.

Stick around to the end for the rapid fire favorites and two of my all time favorite reset tricks for a rough park day. Julie has a monorail move that gets you out of the chaos without going all the way back to your room, and I finally share my PeopleMover secret that I usually keep to myself.
