ABOUT US
Hey there, we’re Skye and Arya.

We are professionally obsessed with Walt Disney World. After ten years of friendship and countless trips, we figured out the secret. Disney is actually better when you are a grown-up.
You might know us from our sister site, Drinking Around the World, where we cover the liquid courage portion of the vacation. But Planning the Mouse is for everything else.
It is for the girls trips, the reunions, and the “I just need a break from adulting” getaways.
We are here to help you navigate the chaos of planning a Disney trip without losing your mind. We trade the standard travel agent speak for real talk, like which shoes will actually save your feet and why you absolutely need a midday nap.
Let’s plan something magical.
