Well Hello Magic: A Disney Planning & Experience Podcast
Jessica Mickelson is the voice behind Well Hello Magic, a Disney-loving mom of four, former therapist, podcast host, content creator, and your go-to expert for planning joyful, stress-free Disney vacations.
A lifelong Disney fan raised on Main Street magic and Mickey-shaped memories, Jessica now helps families, moms, and first-time travelers confidently plan trips to Walt Disney World, Disneyland, Disney Cruise Line, and beyond without losing their minds (or their budget).
As a mom who’s done it all from toddler meltdowns to teens chasing thrill rides, from multigenerational trips to magical girls' weekends. Jessica offers real-world advice rooted in emotional insight, practical planning, and a deep love of Disney storytelling. Whether you're traveling solo, with a stroller brigade, or booking for a party of 14, Jessica gives you the tools to make it magical your way.
On the Podcast she shares Disney vacation tips, park planning strategies, event guides (like Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party), and emotional reflections from inside the parks alongside expert guests and fellow moms who love magic as much as she does.
In addition to blogging and podcasting, Jessica creates daily content on Instagram and YouTube, where she blends humor, hacks, and heartfelt moments into helpful videos and reels for Disney travelers of all kinds.
When she’s not answering DMs about Lighting Lane or testing out stroller nap strategies, you’ll find her:
- Baking Disney-themed sugar cookies for her brand Well Hello Cookie
- Running her sign rental business Sign Gypsies Lehigh Valley
- Writing her debut YA novel series, Foreign Parents Syndrome
- Planning her annual Disney mom retreat, The Enchanted Escape
With thousands of families already turning to her for first-time Disney planning help, budget-friendly vacation strategies, and military Disney discounts

104: Podcast Guest Creator Paula from Practically Perfect Family: Laughter, Magic & Resilience
I am so excited to welcome Paula, the creative force behind @practicallyperfectfamily and @chronicallyperfectpaula to the Well Hello Magic Podcast today. Paula was one of the very first “froggy friends” with Undercover Tourist, which is where my journey of following her incredible work began.
Over the years, I have watched her grow from hitting her first 10,000 followers to inspiring more than 150,000 people across multiple platforms. Her mix of humor, honesty, and heart has made her a beloved voice in the Disney community.
In this episode, Paula opens up about her journey from a Disney content creator to motherhood and lifestyle, from making viral Reels to building a warm and supportive community online. We talk about her love for Disney, how she found her voice in the content creation space, and what it has been like navigating her battle with chronic illness. Paula shares how this journey changed the direction of her platform and helped her connect with people on a deeper level.
This is a joyful, honest, and inspiring conversation that gives you a real look at the woman behind the magic. I am so grateful to have Paula join me on the Well Hello Magic Podcast.
