50 Most Important Things to Know Before You Go To Disney World 

Was not expecting to cry in the first minute of a DFB video.

I’m crying! Congratulations AJ! And I’m so very sorry you lost your dad.

I cried with you just now. He is with Walt talking about the amazing job you are doing

Happy Father’s Day to AJ’s dad! He has so much to be proud of! ❤ love DFB family

AJ, as a Dad who is VERY proud of my daughters- I can tell you that your Dad would be SO proud of you. I also know that he has never left you, and is watching over you daily and loving you more than you could ever know on the other side. Listening to the first minute of this video, I bet you know that. Congratulations, and God bless you always.

We're coming up to the 2nd anniversary of my Dad dying and I said to my wife that I'll put on a dfb video because that's a safe bet no chance of sadness and I've been out of sorts and teary all day. Immediately proven wrong, sobbed like a baby! So sorry for your loss AJ, I feel you! Beautiful dedication to your dad!

Oh your tribute to your dad was so sweet. My dad’s been gone 7 years and we just lost my mom. So sweet to have you dedicate this milestone to him. ❤❤❤

AJ, what a moving tribute to your dad. It was so sweet and sincere, I think it made us all cry! ❤

How lovely that your dad left you with some wonderful memories. Truly someone whose memory is a blessing.

My sympathies on the loss of your Dad, Dearest AJ. I lost my Daddy four years ago this month actually this week also. He's ALWAYS watching you and is VERY PROUD of who you have become!

I lost my dad in 2022. He was always my biggest cheerleader. I definitely felt that intro! Congrats on the 1M, AJ. Well earned!

Oh god, to hear her cheerful voice so full of emotion... I could see the tears on her face. He is so proud of you... I'm sure he gave t-shirts to all of the angels above us ❤

Crying listening to your intro. I never miss a video. We are going next month for our annual trip.

Seeing DFB guide popping up every day makes life so much better and fun!

I cried 😢 AJ your dad is proud of you, your team and what you guys worked for. I'm sure he is proud and smiling from somewhere above!

Ok AJ making us cry in the first minute. I lost my father figure in 2021 and I felt that so hard. Happy Father’s Day to your dad, he is so proud!

Congrats on the 1M!!! You guys deserve it! This is such a great channel!❤

CONGRATS ON 1 MILLION OMG WOOOOO!! You deserve it so much, I’m going to Disney in September and your videos have been such a big help!!

With love and support AJ! We are all proud of you and your team!

Too funny with the balloon day care in animal kingdom 🤦🏻‍♀️🤣🤣🤣

Raising a glass to AJ’s Dad! Congrats on the huge milestone!!! 🎉🎉🎉

First of all, I’m so sorry about your dads passing, but I’m so happy that he was a great dad! I can relate to having a great dad. Second of all, I’m 35 and fully potty trained, but I absolutely despise having a toilet flush while I’m using it, so I truly appreciate the post it trick! I’ll start using it this week haha!

Sorry for your loss. I aspire to my kids talking about me like you talked about your father.

I just wanted to say thank you, DFB was essential in my WDW planning. We leave in three days for our magical adventure and my son's 13th birthday

Guys, i used your videos when I was planning my Disney vacation, last December. They were invaluable resource of information.

AJ I am watching this video and I am in tears the dedication was absolutely beautiful. I can truly sympathize with you I lost my Dad in 2020 and I truly knew and know how it feels to have them be proud of you!!!!!! Sending hugs, love and prayers your way❤❤❤❤❤❤

The dad message was so heart warming ❤

Never thought I would cry watching a DFB Video. Sending you so many hugs AJ!

So sorry about your dad! You do such a good job keeping us up-to-date with park food and happenings. Thank you for all you do!

So sweet to dedicate to your dad ❤❤ Also, a tip for those wanting to do a split stay: unless things have changed, the 60-day dining reservation will only start 60 days from each separate reservation- you will not be able to reserve dining for the duration of the trip on a split stay, regardless of whether or not it is a consecutive stay. I learned this the last time my husband and I went to Disney World. I was only permitted to make reservations for the first part of the week (on our first hotel stay), and had to make the remaining reservations for the latter portion of our stay (at the second hotel) a few days later. Let’s just say there may or may not have been tears when I discovered this, especially because Space 220 was the main restaurant I wanted to go to, and it was completely booked for the first portion of our trip. Had it not been for a very kind cast member (who booked the dining reservation for us for the last part of our vacation week, after I explained my dilemma), it’s possible we would not have even been able to get in to the restaurant at all. So…yeah. An important tip to be mindful of 😅

I'm so sorry for your loss, AJ. You are in my thoughts and prayers. I lost my dad in 1988. It was my senior year of high school. I still miss him and talk about him.

My father in law passed just a few years ago. He went to disney every year to 2 years from about 1975 to 2016 at which point his health would not allow the big trip from canada to florida. Between trips, we spent Saturday's watching and listening to dfb, he loved the updates, even after he knew that he could not go again. My wife and i recently went and it was bittersweet as we thought of him a lot and his love of disneyworld

I sent this to my friend who is coming with me for her first trip without watching it first. She asked why I made her cry. Now I know. Thank you for the magic you make here, AJ ❤

I miss my dad too. He never got to meet my amazing daughters. I am going to Disney World this summer and can't wait to make memories.

Can always count on you for a dose of reality and magic. Your dad sounds like he was the quintessential Disney Dad…beautiful tribute to mark this huge milestone. Congratulations on 1 million and many many more!

1M, congratulations. Your Dad would be so proud.

Congrats, AJ on 1M! Beautiful tribute to your father, he'd be so proud! If it does not already exist, it would be awesome to have a dedicated video to the dining packages that include fireworks!

Congrats on the 1 Million Subs. Thanks for your videos

You crying made me cry I know exactly how you feel !! Hugsssss May He rest in peace 🙏🏼

Much love to you, AJ, and thank you to you and the whole DFB family, including your Dad and his impact. (So glad your parents made you!)

CONGRATS on the mill! You so deserve it and even 3 mill! I've been following you since 2016!!! I so understand losing your father. I lost mine as well. RIP your father. Also, going to Japan and for TOKYO DISNEY for the 1st time ever this week! We are stoked!!! I follow your vids like a religion! Keeping your Tokyo disney vids on lock!!!!

Your opening tribute to your dad was beautiful and had be choked up. Thanks for the great content and congrats on the major milestone!

Crying over the tribute to your Dad ❤❤❤

Beautiful tribute to your dad

The yellow shirt 🥹 such a proud dad thing to do

Aww, AJ! Getting all the feels in the first minute of the video. Congrats on reaching 1 million! Quick side tip: if you get TSA Precheck (free with most travel credit cards) you don't have to remove your shoes at security!

AJ’s Dad is definitely proud of you, hun. ❤

My mom and I are going in September. We've been binge watching your videos, even ordering the dining guide book. We'll be resident experts by time we go. 😊❤

Omg crying at the beginning of a DFB video? AJ lost my dad in 2021 also, I’m so sorry for your loss. Mine was my biggest cheerleader too. Miss him every day ❤

Sorry for your loss

AJ, that was beautiful! My eyes welled up. God Bless You, AJ’s Dad!

Im sorry for your loss he sounds awesome

Oh! A.J so sorry for lost and congratulating what’s great job you do. 🙏🏻❤️🎉

You guys deserve the Million and a million more. Love this channel. So much great info. Cheers DFBGuide.

I do split stays. I plan them so I stay at the value hotel over the weekend and the luxury resort Sunday through Thursday, if possible. Weekend prices are often higher, so at least I am paying the lesser prices charged by the luxury places.

wow i am bawling , one minute in !! Sorry about your dad, it sounds like he LOVED YOU BIG!!

Thank you so much for all you put into these videos! Currently planning my daughter's 10th birthday trip and your videos have been SUPER helpful. We took her for her 7th birthday and it wasn't very fun but I feel so much more prepared this time around, thanks to you and your team.

Love to your father. May he rest in peace.

Not only ILLs are excluded from redemption passes but many of the E-ticket rides, too.

Crying!!!! Blessings to you AJ!

I’m going to Disney world for the first time tomorrow and i am so excited

What a sweet intro- congratulations ❤

What about Droid and Saber storage ? If you build the Droid at the beginning of your day , do you just have to carry with you all day?

Post-It note tip. 😂 Anyone that has has a kid going through that knows EXACTLY what you are referring to.

Didn’t even realize I wasn’t subscribed I’ll sub rn

Lost my dad in 2022-crying right along with you

Certain more popular rides with complex systems have a tendency to go down, such as the trackless dark rides like remy's and rise of the resistance. Keep an eye out for when they reopen. There is a limited window when the ride reopens, and you can hop on with a smaller wait time before everyone realizes it reopened. That happened to me for remy's when it went down, and I was able to get in line and only wait about 30 mins. When I got out of the ride, the wait time jumped up to 75.

❤ your videos

Jiminy cricket one minute in and I'm crying.

I was moved as well. Shoutout to AJs dad!

Swan and Dolphin add a "resort fee" to the daily charge - and do they charge for parking? Don't forget the $30 for parking at Ticket and Transportation or Animal Kingdom either. Split stay? We did Pop Century and Disney sent our bags to Shades of Green so that is included, too.

The hopper app is great until you have a problem… then it isn’t the airline or hotel’s problem, it’s the 3rd party sellers problem and since they already have your money, it’s officially YOUR problem! Always book through the airline or hotel…sometimes the savings aren’t worth it.

POG Juice is known as "Riviera Cooler" at The Riviera Resort. At least that was the way four years ago.

❤Happy happy memories ❣🤗

Congrats, AJ 😭❤️

I could hear your voice crack about your Dad. I lost mine in 2020. I know how it hurts

8:53 Chef Mickey’s serves pog juice also.

You often suggest to get the first reservation of the day to be allowed in to the park extra early, what about the final time slot? We are looking at tusker house and their final time slot for the day is only 15 mins before close. What’s your experience with this? Is the food decent still? I would rather eat their dinner than breakfast, and not waste a lot of our park time to do so.

Since they moved the Food and Wine event to the week before Labor Day we will be there for opening weekend certainly didn’t plan it that way. Don’t want to just skip Epcot as we won’t be back for a while, but at least won’t be doing the very first day of the festival.

Thanks AJ’s dad…for giving us AJ!

AJ’s Dad ❤️

Always top-tier tips. I think that queues may also be lower, as a result of Epic Universe opening. Thoughts?

He will be looking down on you with a big smile on his face I'm very sure of ❤
