About Me
Hi, I'm Kelly — host of My Disney Brain Podcast, your go-to guide for planning the most magical Walt Disney World vacation possible.
I'm a self-proclaimed Disney obsessive with years of firsthand experience navigating the parks, the planning process, and everything in between. I created My Disney Brain because I know how overwhelming it can feel to plan a Disney World trip — and I wanted to make it fun, simple, and actually doable.
Whether you're a first-timer trying to figure out where to even start, or a returning guest who wants to level up your next visit, you're in the right place.
Here's what I believe: the magic starts before you even step through the gates. A well-planned trip means more joy, less stress, and memories that last a lifetime.
