ABOUT JESSICA | Well Hello Magic

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.

She is also the host of the Well Hello Magic Podcast, where 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, Jessica is your pixie-dusted big sister who’s not afraid to say:
“Bibbidi Bobbidi back the F up—I’ve got a plan.”
