8 Things People Do in Disney World that Make Absolutely ZERO Sense! 

The cast is the best in the world.

Cast Members Are The Best 💖💫👑

Ty stuff like this happens all the time at Disney World. If a ride is over staffed or it’s slow on any particular day, they will literally send one cast member out every hour just to create magical moments, just like this one.

@@Ty0604 Can I Get Idiots That Dont Have A Brain For $5,000 Alex

Omg I’m so so so sorry for your loss and bless that cast member

I'm sorry for your family's loss

So sorry for your loss. Glad that cast member made things a little easier.

So sorry for your loss. My dad passed away 2 weeks before our Disney trip so we had to decide if we were still going to go or not. (We did. We had a nice, bittersweet time.)

That's awesome and nice that you chose to share a positive experience. There are good people in our world.

Libra They don’t anymore! No more confusion!

In Atlantica, fish are friends AND food.

@@selenalemiec2549 but what about outside Atlantica

I didn’t understand how you were confused until I read it again 😳

Fish eat fish too, nothing confusing about the circle of life.

Love this 💖

That's probably why one of my favorite rides, "Alien Encounter" closed down 😭. There was always a screaming child.

100% agree with the last sentence. the first time i rode haunted mansion, i was terrified - my anxiety made me freak out & i spent the whole ride with my eyes shut, trembling. the second time i went on, i knew nothing was going to jump out at me or harm me, and it was much more enjoyable

'Haunted' can be quite the trigger for A LOT of people, both young and old 🙂

Kelsi Parker The first time (that I remember. I had been to Disney once when I was 5 but have very few memories of it) that I went on the haunted mansion I was 13 years old and I was TERRIFIED of going on the haunted mansion. For a quick backstory, I went with my step mom and step sister who had been to Disney loads of times before and they assured me it wasn't scary, but up until that point, my only experience with "haunted" things were haunted hayrides back home where the main goal was to make to pee yourself in fear and usually ended up with someone crying. So in my defense, I had a different expectation going into it. I quickly figured out that they were right and now it's one of my favorite rides, but I could absolutely see how a young child would be scared out of their minds going on that ride. Heck, the pop ups in the grave yard scene still spook me. I just realized that I've been rambling for too long, so I'll just make my point. TL;DR: I totally agree that the haunted mansion probably could be too spooky for young children who are afraid of the dark and/or ghosts and monsters

I bit my dad's hand when I was going...... He said he did the same thing when he was my age.......btw I was like 6

Honestly, being a CM really toughens you up. One of the reasons why I disliked it was I worked with crappy people. I just couldn't believe the amount of just terrible people who abused their power I was working under at my position.

I live in Florida have an annual pass and go to Disney once or twice a month. I don't understand why people are so nasty, they are on vacation and at the happiest place on earth. I enjoy talking to cast members they are very knowledgeably and helpful. People who are nasty at Disney are just unhappy with life. Lol

I have seen people treat cast members like they've got a magic wand and could fix any problem but simply don't want to. It's kind of funny except how badly you feel for the cast member.

I’m with you on that. I did the international college program years and years ago. People were horrible.

My older sister also resigned because this! She loved disney so much though, so she was really sad to leave.

I'm surprised there are no tap dancers.Oh Lord

Similar thing happened to me! When I was pretty young, I was too afraid to ride the Indiana Jones adventure at Disneyland. The cast member stayed with me in line while my family went aboard. She talked with me a bunch, although it was pretty loud in there. She also gave me a card to decode the secret message in the cue! I didn't know what it was though so I lost it xD

From my experience, the fact that there was a height requirement for space mountain was absolutely insane. Pretty cool that they gave your sister a voucher though.

@@barstoolschalkdust The reason for height is because kids who are too small and can slip from under the restraints. Also because they have more space they get thrown around a lot and can receive a concusion or other injuries, Disney wants to avoid lawsuits for that reason and don't need another death because a kid is too short.

Yes my granddaughter was a cast member and she said it was the best job she ever had, and would still be there I am sure if it only paid enough for her to live on, but they don’t pay a good wage.

I'm off in April. Long from now but I can't not plan lolol!

Julia Dzineku may be going some time in 2021! so excited

Julia D I’m so sorry...

@@faioon I should be there right now... THANKS CORONAVIRUS!

Lol same I've never been there but I might gonsome time in 2021-22

I'm sure it's happened before and will probably happen again.

So crying when you don’t get your way does work 😂

Imagine crying cause you don’t get your way and making someone go out of there way just to make specifically you happy Pregnant or not pregnant there’s no excuse for that Your daughter couldn’t see someone dressed in. A costume

@@paraonyt She can't control herself that easy... Show some respect. You haven't been through pregnancy if you think like that. Actually, neither have I, but I am female and understand that it is nothing to laugh about.

Oh cast members are the best!

Eh, I had something similar to that happen to me outside of Disney (not even Florida).

It happens all the time outside of Disney. But it really pays to be kind as people tend to do more for you. They wont do shit if you are an ass. I used to cashier and once I was handing out coupons for free ice cream. I conveniently "forgot" to hand them out when a customer was being a dick head.

@@purselmer5931 Not all Disney Parks are in Florida.

@@juliad4201 True, I mean just in a regular town, not on vacation even.

Animal Kingdom lodge is the best! That's awesome.

Meg DiPaolo OMG I FORGOT ABOUT AUTOGRAPHS DO THEY STILL DO THAT??!!

slidesandspoons yes they still do!

I wish I still had mine...I just got good flashbacks to flipping back through the pretty little books years later, marveling at all the differences!

DavidC1776 PREACH MAN PREACH!

It's even worse when it's a huge group. I mean field trip big and block the entire path.

This bothers me anywhere and everywhere. Concert venues, carnivals, malls. There is no reason you need to stand in the middle of a walkway, it's a WALKWAY, this means walking to where you need to go! 😆

That happens everywhere...including Walmart 🥵😭😂

I had a family of 8 do this in front of the entrance to ET at universal to discuss if they wanted to ride it and got very angry when I walked right through them to get in line.

I agree. There are times that we go to Disney World and we just know that there are certain rides that if we do not get have a fast pass for we are not going to be riding them and that's okay. Next time the line won't be as long or will try to get fastpasses next time. There are so many things to do at Disney world that in my opinion it just doesn't make sense to spend half a day waiting in line for one ride

Speaking of long waits, last summer my family had a reunion at disney, and it was a very busy day, my mom wanted to go on expedition Everest, but the wait was 2 hours long. After my mom waited for two hours to go on, while me and my cousin were at the food bar in the deathly heat, my mom came and said "they were doing maintenance and they shut the ride down" The thing was, they had an announcement about it that I could hear from the snack bar, my mom knew she wouldnt make it in time but she was still determined.

I went two days before Christmas but I had a great experience

@@myMelodyj not saying it's the worst idea in itself, but it is the time of year where 5 hour lines happen

Was in disneyworld last week tower of terror had 2+ hour wait times the entire trip bc of refurbishments. We saved it for our last day with magic hours and then it broke down for the entire day. Totally regret not waiting when we could have, but otherwise I agree with you

Kyle Martin I am tomorrow

Me too

I live across the country and not planning on going anytime soon

Same

Good Disney has their thumb in that RU-vid Pie of course, why else you think videos that are talking weird s*** about Disney get the monetizing all these videos don't?

Sue 'em

Nithin Danday For a nosebleed?? Everyone has them..

ItsJustAva • no.. for letting a kid on a ride he was not tall enough to ride.

if your like .2 or something inches away then whatever. but oof same thing happened to me

@@avavlogzzz9569 also its a joke

Dungeons&Cats _ thanks it worked

You can also get a pretty good veiw of the fireworks right before you go down the drop.

I prefer to not be cold but I’ll be doing this 100% when it’s warm. Honestly, no matter where you go the water rides are usually almost always empty when it’s night time. :3

But then you freeze xD

I went on it when it was like 50 degrees outside and literally no ride and yes I was freezing but I rode it 6 times without getting off and it was soooooo worth it 10/10

I'm telling you!

I agree. I know what it's like to go to Disney World with four kids. It can be difficult but at the end of the day my husband and I were the ones who chose to take 4 kids to Disney World. I think one of my biggest ones is when people get on the bus clearly seeing that it is standing room only and expect somebody to give up their seat for them because they have young children or are elderly. So many times we have gotten up to the front of the line to see that the bus had standing room only. Knowing that we had four kids and my husband was carrying a stroller we didn't really want to stand on the bus. So we let the people behind us who wanted to get on with standing room only go ahead and do that and we waited for the next bus. I remember one time this couple got on the bus with standing room only. The wife was pregnant and they had a small child and the husband looked around and said really nobody's going to give up a seat for a pregnant lady with a baby. I was like really? Y'all are the ones who chose to get on with standing room only. And if you looked around just about everybody who was sitting was either a young child somebody with a young child or an elderly person. Even my husband who had waited for the next bus to avoid standing-room-only was standing

Julie Castillo I think very pregnant woman, people with disabilities and the elderly should be an exception. Where has our empathy gone?

@@brittniep9219 They could wait for the next bus.

Brittnie P agreed 100% people are selfish jerks now a days! We need to relearn kindness & teach our kids. So sad to see how people are these days

liveand learn you’re one of those people who tells others just not to be depressed aren’t you lmao

@@ala4935 Where is the correlation?

@@ala4935 so are you justifying rude behavior?

Cristy obviously not

Alezar Gorewich i don’t know how to make it any clearer.

I would like to apologise for the people that were jerks to you and I hope that your next day is amazing!

I don't work at Disney, but I so agree with you about not believing in free stuff/rewards for bad behavior. If we make a mistake and you're kind about it, we're happy to correct it and give you something on the house, but if we mess up and you're a total jerk (or even if we don't mess up and you're just being nasty), you're not getting smack out of us!!!

In general, people are awful and have no manners. If you need proof, just look at the garbage shown on television.

Curious, what role are you?

The thing that really puts a sting on the situation from my stand point, I work in retail and of course we want even our guests to have a great experience either shopping or participating in our events or celebrating their child's birthday at our store. Some people are rude shoppers or having a bad day. I get it. These people at Disney are on flipping vacation! How are you gonna be so fawl on vacation. Especially in front of their children, and making it hard for others to take in the magic of it all while you go on a rant over something I'm sure cast members are trained to handle. On behalf of someone who wants to revisit Disney as an adult and as a parent, I'm sorry to any cast member who was made to feel less than they truly are valued.

100 percent agree! I shut my phone off during fireworks while at Disney last week and held my daughter. Some lady was practically on top on my son trying to video the show and I was so annoyed. And like you, I just thought how sad it was. Am I really going to rewatch it later?? So glad to have the experience with my kids.

I agree. You can also watch a few thousand RU-vid videos of Fireworks if you want to reminisce.

1000x THIS. Trust me, whatever crappy video you're going to make with your phone is not going to compare to the professional-quality videos that exist on RU-vid. I've seen people do the wackiest things with cameras during fireworks shows. One lady in front of me insisted on doing a full photo shoot with her teenage daughter with flash on throughout the show. Of course, she was using a phone. I'm sure the photos were breathtaking.

My bf was trying to record it (MK firework show) for me last year since I had never seen it and he went the year before and he is over six feet and can see bettet. So I am a small person of only five feet but this little girls wants to see the show so her dad goes right to the FRONT of the crowd of people where I am, stands in front of me and puts the girl on his shoulders. He could have done that in the back of the crowd easily without blocking anyones view of the show and the girl still would have been able to see it back there because there was no one tall enough to be in the way. If it wasn't for that video I would not have seen as much as I did even if it was back in the hotel on my phone. 🤷🏼‍♀️

this shouldn't even be allowed. My mom blocked some folks from doing this and they got so mad at her

I think they might be trying to address this in some lines. I was just at AK yesterday and noticed a sign at Flight of Passage that says something like "All members of your party must be present to enter line."

I can understand if ONE person cuts the line- especially if they have a child with them. But only if they are coming alone- they are not carrying snacks or souvenirs or any other such things to mark them as having just wasted time only to cut the line. Maybe that child (or person) had an emergency and had to go to the bathroom or something. But even then, I feel like the person "holding" the spot should just stay put and let the rest of the line go in front of them until their family member gets back. Or even better, mandatory potty breaks BEFORE big lines. But sometimes emergencies can't be avoided. Story- not at Disney though- I was waiting in line for a ride in a hallway part of a line, and one kid was coming up (by himself, mind you) saying excuse me. We let him through because he was by himself. A few min later, like 5 more kids (aged 10 probably, so not like, YOUNG kids) came up behind (obviously part of the same party) and were like can we get through? I was like, NO! You cannot cut- you got out of line, the rules IN THE PARK MAP state no line jumping or cutting at all- zero tolerance- so get to the back of the line. You left the line by yourself, you can wait in line at the end by yourself. The five of you are NOT cutting the line to the front. They turned around and probably just stood in line somewhere not far behind where we were in the line- they didn't go to the back. Cuz I knew that they had all probably gone to ride another ride while "mama" waited in line for them and probably contacted them when she got closer. Sure enough, "mama" and the kid we had let through were waiting at the front of the line and proceeded to yell at me for letting her precious kids get separated from her and how you should NEVER let kids be alone in a line or separated from their parents and how you should ask the parents FIRST about what's going on. I was like look, lady- if you are comfortable letting your kids get out of line BY THEMSELVES, then you can let them wait at the BACK of the line BY THEMSELVES. And besides, how would I have thought to ask you if I didn't even know who you were?? So, she got on the ride in the car ahead of us and then had to wait at the exit for her other kids to ride shortly after. I almost had to bring it up to a ride attendant, but they were so oblivious anyway....

I have stopped allowing people to pass me when they try to do that. I don't mind if it's a couple of people joining their party especially when it looks like maybe a younger person had to use the bathroom. But it's not fair for one person to wait in the line the majority of the time and the rest of their party to get to enjoy other experiences only to skip us last minute.

@@marzkell good for her. The more people who don't allow people to skip them the less people are going to try it in the first place

that’s a really good use!

That’s super sweet! Especially since we all know how much stuff is there

That’s sweet of you!

Having to tell people that other people are people too should not have to happen, but disappointingly enough it seems to be spreading.

Larry Daniel yeah it sucks but it’s also true that we’ve all had moments where we’re so stressed we take it out on others. it’s good and sometimes necessity to remember to keep the reactions to our emotions in check.

I would like to personally thank you for making our visit amazing! I hope we get the chance to thank you in person in 11 days!!! CMs make or break a trip! Being in Disney should just put people in a good mood regardless of the traffic, weather, and whatever thing has made someone grumpy.

I can only imagine the patience you must have! I would not be able to deal With people acting the way I’ve seen some of those people act

Came to say the same! On our first trip with our kids, it was the cast members that made it a the best trip! My son has some sensory issues and multiple times, cast members would come out of nowhere and help distract him during a meltdown. Those are some of my clear memories from that trip. I have looked up ways to thank them this time around! (Going in three weeks!!!)

That is amazing! I love that you and your co-worker went to all of that effort to make some magic for those kind guests!

@@chriswhiteauditions Of course! Creating magic for people in unexpected places was the best part of the job!

Obviously

And any ice cream

And churros

And funnel cake

Btw, chocolate and MnMs covered Rice Krispie treats are delicious.

ocularnervosa This makes me so nervous. I’m planning on taking my autistic 4yo son to WDW for the first time and I was told that I could use his stroller as a wheelchair, so he could have accessible access. Does this not include the bus? He rides in his stroller on our city bus at home....the accessible seats fold up to make room. Do American buses not do that??

Denise Wreford buses do have seats that fold up in the front of the bus but that is for wheelchairs as there is a plethora of people that bring strollers on the bus unfolded which conflicts with 1) taking up walking space 2) makes it harder for older people and people in wheelchairs to get on . Im not sure on your situation nor will I assume about it , but I suggest getting him a wheelchair if possible or letting him sit on the seats if you can . If not explain to the bus driver and see what he can do for you hun.

Denise Wreford i also don’t know about about WDW policy so you’re best bet is to call them directly and ask , hope for all the best!

Naai G.C OK, thank you! I know that in the park his stroller will have some sort of band or ribbon thing (to alert staff) that makes it equivalent to a wheelchair. If the seats do fold up, I am hopeful that having his stroller being marked by the park as being a wheelchair equivalent would be enough to grant him access, but I will definitely call and ask! Thank you for the advice! I certainly don’t want to be annoying to other people or finding myself in a dangerous/stressful situation that could be avoided simply by calling a cab instead.

Every city I’ve lived in allows kids to sit in strollers while riding on the bus

Great info

Thank you

I don’t know whether you’re T1 or T2, but as a T1 with an insulin pump, I often use those snack credits for those unexpected lows that crop up when you’re walking more than usual in a hot climate!

I just posted. Took the words right out of my mouth😊

can this also be done at say the front desk of a resort? I can't believe in my HOURS of research, this is the first time I'm hearing of this! first trip is soon. thanks for the info

I don't know if you can do it at the front desk--maybe? The applause'o'gram is a piece of paper they have you fill out: including who the cast member was, and what they did for you, and management gives it to the cast member (which is excellent for the cast member) and a nice hand written note is awesome

@@sade66119 I wanted to compliment a cast member at the Beach Club in 2017 and a cast member told me there was no such thing, so I guess I should have asked for the manager.

In a previous video it was suggested to get some business cards made to give to the CM at the time. Makes sense to me, though I don't know if they could actually 'cash' them for credits.

I agree the fact is they work hard as hell and honestly get treated badly . dare i link what former cast members had to deal with

why cant I like this comment x10

Oh my god yes THIS I'm 5 feet tall even, and I have a HORRIBLE time trying to see over all these people even WITHOUT them holding their phones or children up in the air I'm little! I can't make myself any taller, please don't ruin this for me!

Even worse is people with iPADS (or tablets) holding them up in the air.... I don't want to watch the fireworks through your screen, I want to watch them in person!!

I miss the days when they made us sit down on the ground for the fireworks shows. After walking all day I would love to sit down now. But everyone stands up now. 😩😩😩 I can’t pinpoint when they stopped enforcing that, but I sure wish they would go back to it.

I cannot wait to go to the parks in Asia...NO STANDING!

Aww thats so cute! Yes!! Be nice to cast members they are very hard working and lovely people!

When I went when I was younger I took my plushies and the cleaners always made a special effort to make them look like they were drawing or sleeping 💗💗

@@sugarcxrpse808 thats really wholesome holy lord

What do you mean?

@@eufreaka its a paper fastpass that lets you on any 1 ride in the park of your choosing at any time.

Melanie McIntyre how about just being nice and then declining any “rewards” they may offer.....that way, you’re just being nice for just that purpose: because you’re nice.

Vincent Bain nah you can be nice and still accept gifts

As a former cast member we are way more likely to bend over backwards to make magic for you if you are nice. It’s 100% true.

Why is that?

ThunderPunch23 if you are staying in a Disney Resort every shopping that you do within the Disney property you have the option to send it to the room. The item arrives the next day to the Resort convenience store and you are notified on your room's phone. Food, candy nor wine are included to send them to the room. Best regards.

@@luisbperez368 I know that

@dan cussin That is why we have everything, except the souvenirs and miscellaneous stuff, completely paid for before we leave. Basically we spend years saving up for the trip, it gets paid for before we leave; when we get back there is only a rather small bill for things that were brought there.

Patricia Romano and I’ve been standing in place by a wall or gate or benches and had people in such a rush not paying a attention fall on my kids in there strollers

Same with electric wheelchairs. I've had my foot run over multiple times by people not paying attention or not knowing how to drive them.

Dana K they still have to go through the bag clear or not.

Ellen Bedford, not in my experience.

I don't use a clear backpack, but I do use clear ziploc bags inside my backpack. It keeps me organized and is easy for security to check.

@Thessarabian I’m sure they are relieved to see anyone approaching who does that. If nothing else, it shows courtesy toward them.

What about if you are carrying tampons or pads

people change their babies diapers at eating tables?!?!! what the actual fuck. that’s the most ghetto thing I’ve ever heard.

you're right people are animals these days and let their kids be animals as well.

Why am I not surprised this happens? Ewww...

Noooooo, really!? Oh. My. GOD!

Mike R what do you have against people from the south

Cool

uhm u missed 2. :D

The French are not nice to us because we don't surrender to enemy like that they did in history. I like their snails and raw meat dishes and understand why they always wear perfume to cover up whatever. Skip there, but during F&W Fest I still get the Escargot. That is really good!

@@davefink2408 way to be a buzz kill. It's not that serious my dude

Dave Fink ew

I studied French in high school and I study it in college now, last time I went to Disney I only had about 2 years under my belt and went to Les Halles for a treat. I ordered in French and they knew I was American and English-Speaking and they laughed at me. It was a little embarrassing but I don't think it was rude, I think they thought it was cute or something XD

@@marzkell no they were being jerks, worst srrvice we've gotten was France..oh well

Thanks for the tip!!

Also, waiting near the front of the parade crowd, then putting your kid up on your shoulders just as the parade starts. If you’re going to put them up there, either stand toward the back or give the folks behind you plenty of advance warning so they have time to find another viewing spot.

Also, if you do plan ahead and you get to your spot early, thank you, but STAND UP. Sitting down and spreading your crap around makes it just that much harder for people to find good spots. You’re being a jerk. I know it’s been a loooooong day and your feet are tired, but that doesn’t excuse being a safety hazard.

Lisa Rahman I call that "entitlement syndrome". People who think they can just do as they please because THEY are more special than everyone else and how dare someone suggest otherwise. Unfortunately in our current circumstances that seems to be a growing phenomenon.

gondorbunny it’s especially true at Disney. Like they justify the amount of money it cost to get there for their terrible behavior. I remember a family (mom dad and daughter) stopped by some trash cans in the middle of a cleared walkway during the fireworks and a cast member asked them to move and they LOOKED PAST HER like she didn’t exist when she told them they had to move. So she kept repeating herself and waving her light up wand in their face and eventually the father was like “we are watching the fireworks” and the CM was like “you can’t stand here” and he was like “THEN TELL ME WHERE TO GO!” And she literally was “idc where you go but you can’t stay here” like really?! Why are people like that?? If the fireworks were something you needed to see, you shoulda found a spot an hour before the show started. Your fault you didn’t do that and now it’s packed.

skabs508 I work at DCA on the west coast but got pulled to the Disneyland side on New Years Eve to help with guest control and I was in front of the castle making sure the walkway was clear, and I can’t tell you how many people just refused to listen and stopped right there to take a bunch of pics or try to watch what was happening at the castle. Stopping to take one quick pic is totally fine, but when they linger it becomes an issue bc then more people start lingering. And then right before midnight, a guest took down one of the ropes and a big crowd came flooding the walkway. It took me and several other CMs plus a lead and a manager to get the big crowd to go back because they’d created a fire hazard by filling the walkway and not budging when asked 🙃

And when you do decide to stop in a cleared zone and the cast members have clearly given up trying to clear you and others out, and you are now blocking all twenty people behind you who got there early for ‘front row’ seats, don’t put your twelve year old daughter up on your shoulders and be even more of a jerk. The kids we are seeing go up on shoulders is RIDICULOUS. 3-4 year olds MAX please!

I completely agree, a place like Disney World can be very mentally stimulating to a young child. It's vital they nap or at least take a break. I ca't even count the amount of children I've seen scream crying because they're just exhausted.

Not true for everyone. We tend to go, go, go... always did even when the kids were little. Nobody melted down and everyone had a great time.

@@timfischer I'm impressed because honestly I don't think I could go to Disney World from open to close without a rest in between without having a meltdown ( or at least feeling miserable). I guess when I was a teenager that's what we did but now that I've got a bunch of young kids and we've got diaper bags and strollers and everything mama needs a nap

My mum and dad started traveling with us internationally since we were little and we’d walk 10 km a day easily and not complain, Disneyland Paris was a breeze for my brother & I (8 & 4yrs old respectively the first time we went) my parents just made sure we had a cold bottle of water, & that whenever we had a long wait time for rides that we’d sit on the floor and rest for a bit, they never had to deal with a meltdown (neither when traveling or when visiting Disney) and we always wanted to stay even longer! Yes, take a break if your kids are prone to meltdowns if they don’t take a nap, but at the same time, you’re paying so much to be there, that id use my parents strategy and enjoy the whole day going on rides!

Hot afternoon breaks at the hotel room are the best! I’ll put on the channel with Mickey Mouse cartoons, grab a snack and cool down for an hour or two. It makes the rest of the day so much better.

That’s amazing!!

Exactly! People will never understand that people are more likely to do things for you if your nice. If you have a bad attitude we wont give two shits about you.

Art of animation cast members are always so nice. We had difficulties with our room not be big enough even though we planned for a certain sized room and they gave us a huge room and gave us all fast passes for mine train. Keep in mind this was about 2 weeks after mine train opened.

tech3475 i think you can now purchase Disney gift cards and upload that as a form of payment on the my Disney experience to do mobile ordering. I haven’t checked this myself but we are from Australia and would love to use this feature ourself

Magic Down Under I have read about that in a different comment, but then you have other issues such as ensuring it’s topped up, not wasting it, etc. If I was going at times when it was packed and/or I’m constantly waiting in long lines I’d more likely consider it, but as I said I rarely find myself in a position where I feel that it’s really worth the potential hassle.

I tend to save up bonus gift cards from work for the purpose of splurging on meals/drinks, so mobile ordering isn't ideal for me.

My family eats during the off times so far us it really doesn't matter if we use mobile ordering because it's just as fast to go up to the counter. Also I have noticed that sometimes you cannot special order things that you can at the counter. For example if you want the Deluxe chicken sandwich but you don't want fixings on it you can ask for them on the side or not at all in person but you can't on the mobile order

@@themagicdownunder I didn't know you could upload Disney gift cards onto MDE app...I'll have to look into this, I've been buying these for months in anticipation of my holiday there!

At least you have some tasty souvenirs to share when you get home.

As a former cast member it’s 100% true. If you are nicer to us we are more the willing to bend over backwards to make magic for you.

Totally agree! It's painful when a party of 6+ stop to discuss what to do next, in the middle a 'choke-point' or where there is no room to go around. People, please move your party to the side if you need to have a discussion. I try to help first-timers when I get a chance, but move to the side to read your map!

When people do this, I get so annoyed. Like move over to the side, it's not that hard.

Unless you’ve had one of those days where you are tired as heck and don’t want to wait for the second round of buses before you can get back to your room.

I was very fortunate to have an annual pass as a child and we tended to leave the park right as the fireworks started. Makes for an easy leaving time if you're not a fireworks person.

That's so true. I have young siblings and everything gets worse real fast when they're tired. They end up taking naps throughout the day even if they don't on a regular day

@@hannahnorth3749 I have been to WDW many times, and I always see it: the crying, exhausted young children, and the angry parents, and I am just like "Go back to your hotel and get that kid a nap! Everyone will be happier!"

And then parents get mad at their kids when they fall asleep during fireworks. Calm down.

Our 4 year old did fine. We did break down and rent the stroller.

Unless your 5 year old can handle it. 😁. Mine was great. Others NOT even close.

MasterOfNinjas16 2019 still true

@@thebunnyfoofoo Yup, still true, but you have to remember to be at THAT park at the end of the day, and not at another park. That's the only downside- especially if you want to park-hop. You either have to forego park-hopping or make time to go back to the original park(s) to pick up all your stuff.

one thing is very annoying with bag check. say you park hop from magic kingdom to epcot. your bag already got checked and now it needs to get checked again at epcot. makes no sense.

@@twisteetreat6946 Yeah, I could see that... but how are they to know that you didn't get off one bus at a resort or somewhere else and get something you aren't supposed to have and then come to the new park? Or come from a resort to one park and then instantly get on the bus to another park for some odd reason? They used to have a van/bus service that dropped you off and picked you up from inside the park for a fee to avoid security and front entrance lines, but I don't think that lasted very long.... or if they still have it, it's not widely advertised....

Dotty never say never

Jamie, Some people for whatever reason just do not and will not have the money to go to Disneyworld/land. You can thank Disney’s ever rising ticket and hotel prices for that. Even sadder that I know some people who are huge Disney fans but can’t go to a park because Disney has priced them out of it.

Save your money you can do it. Here’s what you do. Save your change. Every-time you get change back from a purchase. Save it in a jar. -Book a trip And stay at a value resort. -Bring Snacks with you. Bring breakfast you can eat in the hotel with you. And then enjoy a dinner. - Go to parks just 1 a day. Skip the park hopper. I’ve been going to Disney every year since 1984. Been my family trip every year and my parents didn’t have a lot of money. Now I live here in Florida. Anyway don’t make money a reason for not going there. It’s expensive but listen to these videos. Save your money and make the trip. And once your here. If you have kids here’s how you save money with them. I told them they can have one souvenir everyday worth 20$. And make your decision at the end of the day and we will buy it. If they skipped the day. They can spend up to $40 the next. Most of the time they would forget about it or realize they don’t want everything they see.

haha same

My mom has been able to afford amazing Disney vacations for my family of 7 for less then $4,000. Always be on the look out for good deals for ways to get to Florida, Disney tickets , and hotel rooms. Try to limit yourself to one sit down restaurant a day (there are plenty of amazing quick service restaurants for other meals/snacks. Les halles in Epcot is my favorite out of all the parks) if your really trying to cut back on pricing bring your own food. Don’t spend a ridiculous amount of money on merch (it’s super easy to spend hundreds of dollars, but you can get the same things for half the price online vs at Disney). There’s ways to make a Disney vacation more affordable.

I'd also ask where they are from and best part of that place. I'm from small town deep woods with big river over the hills of Pennsylvania but the best part is that I can travel to many big cities within 2-4 hours making it very easy for weekends trips. North to Niagara Falls/Buffalo/Erie, South to Pittsburgh, West to Columbus Ohio, East to Harrisburg Pa.

“I’s” is not a word.

That’s what Disneyland is for lol

Disney is so huge, it's like there's categories for categories. Looking up everything, I feel like I'm doing homework. Like legit, I'm taking notes, numbering, color coating & highlighting things. Thinking about time frames, the scale of what seems more entertaining for all, & how to get in a good mixture of how much heat can we handle in between ac/ water entertainment. Also, w/ in what category of a category are these places, or locations? I'm just looking up stuff, & I don't even have a map. & I'm still discovering things.

Spot on If it wasn’t so exorbitantly priced, u could just go n spend the day n relax. Maybe even have fun. No thx Disney, not interested. At ALL.

Because there are things like 5 hour waits for rides, and not just ONE ride has those waits. If you don't plan ahead for things like restaurants and the rides you that you believe are a "must do," you might miss out on something you were really looking forward to.

Blame the crowds. It's gotten so crowded that you have to schedule by the minute to get your money's worth

maybe disney should provide chargable cards at the parks , because for sure we are not the only ones who go trough this

So you could use your cash to buy Disney gift cards. Use mobile order using your bands. At the end of the day pay your bill at the hotel with your gift card. Extra tax avoided.

@@elainegilmartin7103 And if you purchase disney gift cards at Target using your red card, you will save 5% per gift card.

You can use your US cash to purchase Disney gift cards on property and then upload the card details to pay for mobile ordering

If you have the Disney dining plan you can use either your snack or quick service credits when using mobile order. It's not just for credit card charges

Randy, The world is not really filled with A/holes but for the ones that are here, they are strategically scattered around the globe and you will run into at least one a day. Yep, I feel ya on that. The more dense the crowds at any venue, the A/hole ratio goes up geometrically and you will always encounter that "one guy." Most annoying is the foreign visitor who feigns ignorance. They know better but play the "I no understand card."

@@rooftopvoter3015 I've seen Americans speaking perfect English up until then pretend that they're foreign and pull the "I don't speak english" card when a cast member asked them to move from a VIP section before. They learn the language real quick when a security guard shows up. It's just disheartening that there are people out there willing to ruin the magic of Disney just to make it more convenient for themselves.

Unless you're in It's Tough to be a Bug, then there's no one there to care...

I don’t like sitting near stangers so I’m stay in the middle

@@sophietheprettyqueenbeamso3851 You don't have to be on top of them and can leave some space between you, but you still need to slide all the way down. Don't be a jackass and stop wherever you feel like it.

Minh Duong agreed, I used to work at Casey’s Corner and it was frustrating for both guests and cast members. It’s especially hard for our hearing impaired guests.

Yes! We used mobile order at Casey's Corner last month, and it was crowded and impossible to hear. I thought I heard my number so I approached the counter. It turns out a mis-heard, and the CM felt the need to give me attitude about it in front of 50 or so other people. That was not-so-magical.

Same with Starbucks!

Minh Duong Starbucks needs this instead of calling out name & they need a place for people to stand without the cluster of people by checkout

Solmarie Fontanez yes see below

If you can do so and can afford it, I highly recommend getting contacts. I struggle with the same exact problem & having contacts made it so much easier. Every time I go to a theme park or to a movie, I wear my contacts so I don't have that problem.

You have to fast pass it. We got there at 9:02, 2 minutes after park opening and the wait was already 135 minutes. We always fast pass that ride.

Nothing to do with Disney, but I feel you on the glasses thing. One time I rented snorkeling equipment not realizing that the goggles do NOT fit over your glasses. Obviously biggest waste of money ever. No point in snorkeling if you can't see.
