Things I'll NEVER Do Again in Walt Disney World 

I love when the staff go beyond what they technically have to do, always makes me feel at least a little special. I hope you enjoyed your trip (even with your migraine)!

I was born in Tampa, FL. The rest of my dad's side stayed. But they live in Orlando. We eventually moved to Ohio when I was around 4/5, idky. But we'd go back pretty much every Christmas. When we'd go visit, we always dressed like we were going to visit summer. My dad's side would be like," 😅😂🤣 ok it's not that warm down here, you northerners." I remember my dad having a camera around his neck alot too. We're Asian, so I remember us joking how we'd always look like tourists... But that's ok tho. Bc we blended in. It was Disney... I think around 13, I was obsessed w/ some colorful sweater hoodie. I do remember not being sure about what to wear. In my early twenties, (2002/3) I even wore some khaki pants there 🤷🏻‍♀️. I think we always got some 3 day pass package things, idk. Other than that, I don't regret much. Although in my twenties, I do remember my dad getting mad at me for losing some tickets to see something. I was like damn dude. I've moved to NC since, far away from everyone & u still have no simma. I'll just go on a ride instead. It'll be a ok. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Twenty something I still lose track of stuff easily. Guess I can't always get mad at my kid for losing everything... At 20 something I paid my own way tho. But still hung out w/ the blood roots. I bought some pink wig there. Rip bright pink wig. Wherever you went too

@@ahhwe-any7434 i live in ohio

Continental? Do you mean Contemporary?

They are good at taking care of their quests

Wolves Shadow That’s amazing! Awesome service!

Wow. What a great experience. Thanks for sharing

I just cried as a cast member this is the magic we love to do. Thanks for sharing your story. Disney will always do their best to make a bad situation great. All you have to do ask.

.. must be nice

Wolves Shadow I thought you were gunna say something bad but that’s awesome!!

That sounds great

We were headed to Indiana Jones and I happened to see a guy chatting with a cast member. He had a notebook and was trying to interpret all of the special alphabet on the wall. I was almost past so I spun around, reached into my wallet, and pulled out the decoder card from when the ride first opened. Nowadays you can find it online, but it eas pretty unknown at that time - they hadn't been printed for years and they weren't well known. Anyway, the cast member was blown away that I had it and that I took the time to share it. We got fast passes, walked to the front of the line, hugs and kissess...

Love it when things like that happen. Once we were on a flight sitting in front of a father and daughter, and she was miserable from the pressure changes with blocked sinuses. I gave the guy some of the Sudafed I had with me because I have the same issue with allergies. The stewardess slipped us a bottle of wine from first class. She went from crying to sleeping; win-win.

I'll take things that never happened for 500, Alex

@@AlexaSmith lol i didn’t sit here and write this out of thin air but I hope you have a great week

Lmao😂😂😂😂

that sounds so romantic 🥰🥰🥰

This entire comment is freaking adorable

TheMaddness22 I thought I was the only one who did that 😂

@@neeisdum1221 Yayy nap buddies! 😂

i think tiki room is a lot better for naps because the music is more relaxing

Or just go on super bowl weekend the park is empty popular rides are like 10 minute waits. You’ll have plenty of time. You can sweep every ride in all four parks in just two days. All the families are at home watching football.

TheMaddness22 we are going Super Bowl weekend

Not always, sometimes it's hard to make out what she's saying when she's laughing and talking at the same time

Simp

tonymiami54 go back to tiktok or wherever you came from comments like this are so annoying

tonymiami54 nah

Of course you can hear her smile--she's a Disney cast member. You didn't think she was a regular person, did you?

Yup, that's just what my husband and I do (although I haven't been able to get up for actual rope drop, lol). Also, drinking a lot of water. Dehydration is an enormous energy sap, and most of the time you don't even realize it.

@@andrealampert6800 I think the only time I've ever been awake for a rope drop was for the water parks.

I absolutely agree! This is how my family does Disney, or any theme park, really. We’ve done some CRAZY park hopping and been just fine. I once went to Disneyland/Universal Studios with my high school orchestra. We didn’t get the chance to do rope drop to fireworks (you know, school trip and all; it ended up being like 10am-9pm or something), but I actually ended up more tired then because everything was go go go! We had no time to sit and enjoy being there, which is a huge part of the magic by itself. Just taking the time to sit and be in Disney is an amazing feeling.

Rope drop to fireworks a day here and there, cool. Doing it every day on a 7-10 day trip or even longer trips? No lol. Good luck with that.

I totally agree!

WE refuse TO CALL IT ANYTHING BUT dOWNTOWN dISNEY, LOL. just like hollywood studios is MGM. I guess it's what you get used to.

Shannon Luke I keep on calling it downtown Disney 😂😂

That’s what I always called it

It will always be downtown Disney to me. And MGM is still MGM.

*Sudden drop*

Sweet deal!

Wow

puppy lover that’s amazing

This happened to us too! I didn't mind getting stuck in there because we got a chance to seat down, see the artwork up close, and we got a fasspass. A good deal!

Just don't plan it during a race day when the race goes through MK. I saw so many pissed off looking parents with kids who I suspect thought they would have the park to themselves and didn't because it was Princess 1/2 marathon. Instead the park was full of people cheering and thousands of runners. Wine+Dine and Star Wars go through the Studios and Epcot in the morning instead of MK and Marathon goes through all 4 parks.

We have a reservation for 8:15 am.

We used to make reservations at the Liberty Tree Tavern for 15 minutes before park closing. By the time we were done eating, the MK was nearly empty and we could enjoy a pleasant stroll down Main St. on our way out.

Kennedy Thacker I went in July and on our last night we were standing behind one of the wheelchair access points and you could see everything as it was empty for the people who were disabled so it was nice not struggling to see it all

Kennedy Thacker true. Fantasyland fireworks are beautiful.

I agree 100%

If anything, being a good distance away from the castle next to some speakers gives a great, full view and perfect audio 👌

True. Another best spot is behind the castle by the carousel and Treats ice cream. Trust me, I was a cast member.😉

Is with park hopper? Or the basic ticket?

This is our plan! I really hope it pans out the way we hope it will...

LOL! Most families, especially out-of-towners, do that. That's why locals go midday. They're used to the heat and the crowds thin out some.

I went recently and this is what I did. I got SO much done within the small amount of time I was there! The early park entry for Disney resort guests made all the difference too!

Is this true 😮 do you mean the WDW parks app you use for your fast passes and all that or a different one?

This does not work for some new items...we had a heck of a time finding a pair of jack ears we had seen at fireworks the first night we were in disney was the first day they went on sale ...we spent a week finding them they weren't on the app or in the big disney shop...we ended up looking in every little shop in hollywood studios and they were still in a back room it was only by a cast members perseverance we got them she went through boxes for 30 minutes

babyskitty I honestly thought you were talking about your human ears for about 5 minutes until I remembered Disney ears exist

Mia Destroyer of worlds I fixed it

Actually you can do that with anything you buy in the parks, not just mouse ears! If something you bought breaks, just take it back to a shop that sells that same item and they'll exchange the broken item for a new one.

babyskitty dude! I never knew that thanks

Kristin Bergh yes i bought a jack skellington mug once at pirates and it broke on the plane so we emailed disney and they sent me a new one for free. disney’s service literally could not be topped lol

The notes are a really sweet idea. When I go on vacation to mexico I have a bad habit of not letting the cleaning staff clean my room or change blankets everyday. I try to be environmentally friendly also I'm not a pig so I naturally keep my room clean. But on the last day I'll clean the room and leave a nice tip for the room service.

I'm so old I used to go to Disney when you had to buy fair tickets to go on the rides

lelavender I wanted to book a return trip to Fort Wilderness on the last day of my stay. I was shocked and angry at the price increases. $3150 for a two week stay in a standard campsite 🥵. You can get a room cheaper. I’ll never stay there again and that is sad.

@@havfunwithit I wanted to add park hopper to the last two days of my ticket only. But, they insist on adding it to all the days (4 of which I had already used) thus costing $350. Stupid for them since I did not buy it. They could have had $150 of my money, but the greed of insisting it has to apply to all days. In the age of e-tickets and magic bands, it's just pathetic. I'm done with DSW both for the $$ and the crowd/waits. It's just not worth it.

James Cook I wonder who really sponsors the DFB guide? She never really criticizes Disney. In the end her comments will get you to spend more money. If she was really being honest she would say what every experienced Disney goer knows. Fastpass does not work anymore. The parks are very overcrowded. You get one good fastpass a day, and your lucky if you can use it. The two others are good for rides you can walk on anyway. I spent a lot of time at Disney last year because my son bought me a season pass. On some days I would go to a park and it was so crowded I would leave after an hour. Two hour wait times to go on slinky dog in 100deg heat, no way. IF I go to Disney again I will stay offsite. It was 2/3 cheaper to stay at a RV park offsite. Plus you can eat much cheaper and get better food offsite. I got a burger, fry’s, onion rings, cookie and large shake at Steak and Shake for 7 bucks. And the fry’s were actually hot. Also I found I could get to the parks faster than using Disney transportation. At Fort Wilderness I would wait sometimes 40min just for the bus and you had to take two. Then the drive to the park and long walk to the gate. I could drive to the park in 20 min and get free parking with my season pass. $3150 for a standard campsite at Disney for two weeks. $1150 for a deluxe campsite at a RV park 7 miles from Disney. And the pools were better offsite. If your going to Disney twice in one year I would definitely get the season pass. I would stay offsite and eat offsite. That’s a real tip the will save you money. And I buy my souvenirs at the Disney outlet at a nearby mall. I got a mug that sold for $28 in the park for $5 at their outlet. Buy your children’s things there and give them out at the park, they will never know the difference.

On god

Hi. What do you mean by resort hopping? And where is disney springs located? I've heard of that, but unsure what it is

Jackie Dawson i think she meant park hopping. you can purchase special tickets that lets you ‘hop’ around all four parks in one day (personally, unless you’re only going to staying for only one day, i don’t think it’s worth it. you waste a lot of time actually traveling to the other park). as for Disney springs, it’s close to magic kingdom. It’s outside of it and it’s free. mainly made of of stores and restaurants

Jackie Dawson almost all 25 resorts on Disney property have so much to do! For example, Animal Kingdom Lodge has safari rides and at a bunch of resorts they have Hidden Mickey hunts! And if you ask the front counter for an activity sheet, it will give you an itinerary for all the activities going on throughout the day or week! Also almost all the hotels are absolutely gorgeous and really nice to just walk around. You don’t have to stay there to go in! And Disney Springs is amazing! Disney recently redid it over the years, and it has become even more great! They have dozens of shopping places (from Sephora, to the LEGO store), dozens of restaurants, a huge bowling alley, a giant movie theater, a stage where they have performances, and so so so much more! You have to go see it for yourself! They have so much to do. I truly love Disney, and all it has to offer. Definitely worth visiting! ❤️

Jackie Dawson sorry for the confusion with “resort hopping” that’s what we call it! 😂 also you can park hop! It’s worth the money!

Thanks for the help! Lol. I'm staying at Art of animation. Do you know if I Would be able to go to the animal kingdom resort and take that safari you were talking about?

THAT'S customer service! :-)

Sci-Fi Drive In

@@rooftopvoter3015 thanks.

THATS A COOL STORY RIGHT THERE.

One time when I was younger, my family went to dinner at Chef Mickey's and when cutting some meat it splashed my mom's shirt, a few staff members ran over to her immediately and she got a new, free shirt! Definitely wasn't as good as your story, but I mean a free disney shirt that would've costed at least $30 in store isn't that bad.

Blasen Mich We all brought just one pair of tennis shoes; BIG mistake!!! We got caught in a down pour, going thru puddles 4” deep. Ended up going to the laundromat which took about an hour and a half for our shoes to dry. Live and learn!

Blasen Mich Yes. Especially if you’re on water rides like Splash Mountain and much more. Even walking around the parks.

This, this, this! If nothing else have some lightweight flip flops you can switch to. And rotate shoes through your trip. Even really good shoes you'll get blisters after a couple of days, so have AT LEAST 2 pairs of comfy shoes to rotate, plus back up flip flops.

never wear flip flops

Extra pair of socks too.

Saying Disney quest brought back memories I forgot I had

Me and my brother were devastated when they closed Disney Quest

I miss 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. 😢

Okay exactly 😭😭😭😭

RIP 😞

Emma Campbell Yup

Same here

OMG I RELATE SO MUCHHHHHHH

this is me rn... only 168 days 😭😭

😂 I’m in the exact same situation (except my trip is only HALF a year away, lol) Watching all these videos is kind of like torture in a way, haha.

The Flip lol

Even worse, when you get a tiny rock inside of your flip flops 😣

One word: YES

?????

@Jew Fro What time hell that supposed to mean?

I went in 1976 from the UK - No Epcot, still being built. No resorts. The last was in 1994, after a dozen or so trips and looking now, the expansion has been phenomenal. The only thing I'd Never do again would be queue for 'It's a Small World'. Two hours of torture listening to the theme on the speakers. I'm happy that I got to see Captain EO!

@@terencejay8845 Try getting stuck on It's A Small World when the ride breaks down. Considered wading out as the water is only around 18" deep.

There is no such place as “Disneyworld.”

I went to Disney Land just about the time it opened. I was a little kid, but remember it was free and you bought tickets for all the separate rides and activities. Of course, my parents wouldn't pay for but a couple rides and we didn't get to eat anything. They thought it was all extremely expensive! After I was married we went to Disney World right after the big golf ball in Epcot was up. There wasn't anything else there, but we went to that ride and it got stuck when we were up really high inside it. We also went to that island that was supposed to be all natural with the animals. It was closed, though, and left for ruin. Last time we were there it was so crowded and hot and just not fun. Too many people everywhere. We ran every day trying to get it all in and ended up so exhausted. No ever going back.

My first visit was 1972 the second year it was open. I was 11. The ONLY thing there was Magic Kingdom. You had to buy a book of tickets and the more tickets in the book the higher the price. They had different color tickets in the book so you might have had 4 of each color and there were six or eight rides for that color so you had to choose which ride you would go on. I remember dad paying at a little ticket booth by the Haunted Mansion so I could go on that because we had used up all our tickets for that color. So I went all by myself. It really hasn't changed much over the years. All the characters used to just roam the park and in the afternoon all the seven dwarfs were in a huddle. I poked my head in to hear what they were saying and they were discussing going out to a bar after work. I said "Hey guys can I get a picture?" and Grumpy literally grabbed hold of my pony tail and half yanked it out of my head and said "Get the hell out of here kid" I was so stunned I ran to my mom and told her but she didn't do anything about it but tell me not to be nosy the next time. HA HA Can you imagine if that happened today? OMG the Karen's would be up in arms demanding they shoot the dwarfs. It was a lot less complicated back then and I don't think there was a single hotel on site. No meal plans either. What a change from 1972 to 2015. You shouldn't wait 43 years between visits! At least a dwarf didn't pull my hair this time.

That kind of sounds like torture having to be stuck in a line for 5 hours with your young children. Someday I want to go with my sister and my niece when my niece is older, but that wouldn’t be my preference. I’d be like, never mind, let’s do something else, lol.

I love to play the app “heads up” with my family while we are waiting in line!

Thankfully phones exist...

Must have been a bit longer than a few years!!

Agreed, when I went to the parks in 2012, I also had my little Pokemon Walking thing with me so I played on that during the lines where we were sat 10 minutes before moving a space and they were rows long lines....! Was not brave enough to bring the DS itself out. I think it's why I've always carried a gameboy of some type, if not PSP with films on or a book, nevermind for the car journeys, but for when we get there and have to wait XD And with mobiles as they are now, I have all 3 in 1! Unlimited entertainment- battery pending.

I have gone with big groups before. The key is to be less regimented. Family A has their things they want to do that Family B has no interest in. We generally decided what we all wanted to do together and left a lot of time for people to go where they want. Mostly, we had breakfast and dinner together and then did our own thing apart from others or with fewer folks. For example, I had a 6 & 9 year old while my brother had a 5 & 16 year old. We often took my niece and sister-in-law with us while my brother & nephew went elsewhere. Another time, my family, my mother-in-law and her friend (later her cousin & the cousin's husband joined for 1night) with another family. The 3groups did their own thing after a shared breakfast and joint dinner. BTW, breakfast buffets are great to load up on food so you only want fruit or maybe a hot dog during the time in the parks. Usually, one will walk off the full feeling (or maybe sweat it off) so you are ready for a nice evening meal.

AGREE 100%

Like herding cats?

I usually go there with my family and my friend's family. We've learned to just be a little more open with each other. If somebody wants to ride a specific ride, we'll make sure to ride it at least twice while we're there. The only time we've ever really split up to do our own things is when somebody in my family wanted to ride Splash Mountain but my friend wasn't too keen on getting wet. So yeah.

I have 13 people in my family and we usually go in the summer. It can definitely be a challenge lol.

Busy because of annual pass holders monopoly

We just went the last weekend in april, again, and none of the wait times at MK were over an hour for any rides. There are fewer people during certain times of the year but it is still crowded.

@@Amberdawnn76 I'm going to Disney Animal Kingdom and Epcot. In between 21-30 April, is that a good time to go?

@@yunobog7525 the last weekend isnt terrible. Just double check what the dates are for the national cheerleading championships.

@@Amberdawnn76 During the cheerleading thing it will be crowded I suppose?

Were you there New Years? Magic Kingdom on New Years was nuts

Rob Smith curious to ask... why not? I thought about that for a Christmas gift to my kids in the future. But if it’s more of a disaster I want to know

@@AnthonyWilliams_83 It was just too crowded to be enjoyable. It wasn't just long lines for rides, just moving through the park from one place to another was a nightmare. Part of the problem was giant strollers, which they are banning now (good news), so maybe it will be a little better, but I still don't recommend that particular park on that particular day. It was not very magical for us.

@@ricklepick9148 THANKS for the heads up. Sounds like torture and patient levels being pushed through the max. It sounds like a nice idea since I'm from Ohio to go to Disney for Christmas but it sounds the rest of the world loves that idea too. I'll just stick to watching all the parades on TV lol!

Spring break is the absolute worst according to my parents who live in Florida

Beth Jones Yes this! Too many angry and anxious people at the Happiest Place on Earth. We’ll all get there eventually if we just take a breath, relax, and most importantly be cordial to one another.

as an annual passholder, who lives 45 minutes away from Disney, I took on this perspective years ago. I get it, others travel far to get here, save up for the trip, and for some it is a once in a lifetime experience. with all that said, I am constantly shaking my head when I am there. I see the stress in these people, the rushing to get.from one place to the next, the rudeness in not paying attention to others around them, the complaining, the "oh my gosh something is not absolutely perfect" tone of voice, and I think.....isn't this supposed to be the happiest place on earth? why do so many make them selves miserable, here?

Omg for real?!?

I am always scared to do that because that reason

Every time I've gone on space mountain I curl in on myself. Convinced I'm gonna hit my head (I'm 5'6), so props for being brave.

I’m 6’4” and can confirm that if I stick my hands up on Space Mountain, I will lose them. (Ok maybe not since I’m sure somebody would have famously fallen victim to that by now but I’m not taking any chances!)

I actually remember I stuck my hands up in space mountain I hit the structure pole

My Disney stats went up from reading this comment! Knowledge: 58 points Attractiveness: 34 points General happiness: 200 points!

There is no winter in Florida, lol.

@@IAmScourge1 That's their point. (Also it does still get kind of cold. Do at least bring a sweat shirt and sweat pants or something.)

You can also take them to Morocco. There is a nice few secluded places in Epcot and I love that one!

@@IAmScourge1 we froze our arses off there in january

Get a job, work hard, save your money. Then you too can go on vacation.

Kappa Kandy ikr

We do more staycations because we're in an area with a lot of things to do (museums, sporting events etc.) but sometimes it's good to get away and see someplace new. Like Robert said, work hard, save up money and take a week off to recharge your batteries. Even if it's close to home like a week at the beach or hit a national park, the change of scenery will do you good.

Tough times, but budgeting and saving just to go on vacation once a year is worth it.

We saved up for quite a long time, my brother and me planned the vacation and took our mom. Anyone can go if they save up and plan accordingly. We didn't stay at a super fancy hotel, but we got to eat at Be Our Guest and make a lot of great memories.

If she is used to flat shoes, it makes perfect sense. I would wear my memory foam sandals next time.

I’d be in constant fear of being stepped on...or worse, rolled over by a stroller.

I wish I could do that! I have very flat feet so I either am stuck with wet sneakers or uncomfortable sandals...

Much better than figuratively wearing flipflops.

@@batmanbeatingupfurbies4865 they make orthotic thong sandals! You'll love them. Vionic ortho-heel is a good brand, but there are others. I have many.

The parade is when I go. 5 minute wait time!

One of my favorite memories was Big Thunder during fireworks 🎆

Sara Castelluzzo yup. On big thunder you see all the fireworks as your bombing around. It’s fantastic.

I remember being on a Snow White rollercoaster and the fireworks started when i got to the outdoor bit.

5 minutes early to ten minutes late you will still get a green

mbrakes23 five minutes vs an hour thou.

😂 Beverly is known for being bad, and as a local, its hilarious to see people do that. However I still fall victim to that drink!

I loved telling people to try the Beverley. 😂 So funny.

right on

That anticipation is part of the fun! :) And, I agree about multiple groups. I have my husband and 4 kids. We have our system down and I feel like if we ever added extras like my mom or say my grouchy brother, it would throw our balance off.

Agreed! But I love planning my vacations and I always do a year in advanced! Really I have my vacations lined out years in advanced

We're going for Christmas, and booked over a year in advance. Not dealing well. I'm going to spend all summer looking forward to winter. I hate winter.

Did I write that? 😁

Cutewhiskers53 I had a FastPass for a ride WDW for around the time the fireworks were going to go off and I went early to see if I could get on and they let me on

They probably are hearing "We're late because we were in the line for Flight of Passage" a LOT lately.

Cutewhiskers53 be aware that not every missed fast pass can be overridden. It depends on the park status. I never schedule fast passes closer than 2 hours apart. They schedule fast passes by the number of passengers the ride can accommodate per block of time.

Kim McCarthy it’s still a matter of time management on your part. You can’t expect Disney to accommodate your poor planning. We have been known to plan 2days at a park to get the rides we really , really , want want

My aunt got flight of passage fast pass, and we were through in ~10 minutes. It was a lifesaver. He normal line was 2-3 hours long, and I'm so glad I didn't have to deal with that.

Just keep in mind end of August and thru September higher chance of hurricanes.

I went very beginning of June this year and it was great because most Florida schools were still in session

Shannon B! Not always my district in Florida got off on May 31

WE went at end of Aug. and had too much rain.

@@ericedwards3055 not a huge threat in Orlando tbh

CA P by road or by plane

I am 3 hours away and have not been in years; too expensive

We never wear tennis shoes. It's much too hot for that! Flip flops and Birkenstocks mostly... and I will put little kids in Sun Sans because they are super comfortable. I also only ever took a stroller ONCE. I hate having to keep up with the thing and I even more hate having to dodge those crazies pushing around 11 year olds. I have 5 kids and have taken many a toddler on a trip. I want no or minimal bags to tote and no stroller. A magic band and a meal plan and I'm set. 👍

My parents took me in a stroller until I was 7! It helped them out a lot.

@@terrak8768 If you feel tennis shoes are too hot get breathable trainers + socks with memory foam. Its a lot comfier and you don't get blisters

I always wear flip flops, way too hot for tennis shoes. I've had tons of trips to WDW and I only wear tennis shoes if I go when it's below 50 degrees. I always break in my shoes and I've never had a problem personally.

On my first trip my parents bought me and my siblings crocs. Just on the way there it gave us blisters and luckily we had sneakers too, so we changed into sneakers. I haven't worn crocs since..

totempolejoe one time my school band went to Disney and we went to the coke experience center. We managed to get every single drink into one cup and we made a bunch of them. Basically the entire trumpet section chugged them and they got so sick later that day. 😂

I’m absolutely prancing my friend with it. Fingers crossed she hasn’t heard of it 🤞

We told my niece to try it and she was gagging 🤣🤣🤣 so funny!

I tried all the coke flavors in Atlanta and ended up with diabeetus

@@leswhynin913 are you 7?

Sabine S It’s more for people not staying at a disney hotel but is still an option, but if you were a better idea would be getting shipped to your hotel or shipped to your house.

I MUCH prefer getting stuff sent to the park entrance. It's much easier just grabbing it on your way out then the next day at the hotel.

i would totally forget and the exit the park without my package.

Fun story: I had a sensory overload bad enough to cause a migraine (light parade and fireworks). Mom goes to first aid for aspirin. They ask how old her child was, she said 34, with a migraine. She said they wished me well, and gave her the aspirin. Was very thankful for their kindness, to me and mom, who was nearing 60 at the time and they paid her a compliment by asking how young I was.

Oh yes so true. My IBS was acting up and they really helped me out. Was getting dehydrated and they kinda saved my day.

DatMonkey5100 Yes, Beverly is vile.

I did that in October on Halloween weekend and I agree with you.

Thanks for the info! Sorry for that experience :-/

I will second this, they also think they "own the road" as it is. But the jokes about "drunk driving" from the cast members are almost worth it!

We have an annual event here called Sun Fest aka Drunk Fest. Went two times, drunks kept running into me, stopped going after shirt smelled like a fermentation tank at Jack Daniel's.

I was probably one of them...im sorry.

My grandma had a wheel chair because of her legs, she had beer spilled on her multiple times. The cast members were so kind and offered to pay for her wheelchair fees

Ray Willis I do this on Splash Mountain and Grizzly River Run in the morning or late at night and they usually do

I always feel weird riding a boat by myself. I don't know why. It's better with other people.

California is Dland Florida is Dworld. Get it right.

What time of year is slow season?

MYGirlsGJ B early spring and early fall

Prices will always go up, and brainwashed people will keep on coming to Disney world Putting more scheckels in Eisner pockets.The middle class gap is getting worse and people should stay away !!!

Gary Wenzlaff That literally has nothing to do with what that person said. And you can't tell us what to do if we like Disney then we like Disney

Oh what a tragedy. You have one less thing cluttering your closet. How often will your husband wear a Disney t-shirt to work?

@@soniquecat4745 You don't know where her husband works, my Dad wore his Disney shirts to work all the time. Even if you have work clothes requirements it's good to have casual stuff for afterwards or on days off

What room number again? You know, just so I understand where it is I should stay away from...

@@trentwerner7398 just avoid any of the budget motels on 192.

LMAOOO

@@trentwerner7398Are you sure of that room number? Asking for a friend

End of June - end of November. Winter and Spring are fairly dry.

TRUTH!!!!!!!

Jamie Danielle In the summer yeah

True dat

Just curious if you have had an opportunity to go yet?

Better idea: PLAN AHEAD and know where the ride services like Lyft and Uber can and cannot go on the Disney property. Or even better, get a Minnie Van (they're run by Lyft) which can take you anywhere in the Disney parks for 25 bucks a ride.

We got dropped off at The Grand Floridian and did our security check point there. Then monorail to MK and right on in. Very fast.

Thanks for sharing this valuable tip!

Or, if you're like me and like taking the monorail and ferry, plan to leave 10-15 minutes earlier than you think you need to. And yes, I do like them. They're like bonus rides to me

yeah we learned that the hardway...after ubering there to make a fast pass from another park and we were like why did we get dropped off here...ugh

I usually ask nicely when they're picking the seats for us. Unless its busy, then I take what I can get.

LOL

Six months ahead of time for a 4 day vacation? You are going to a theme park, not jumping into Normandy.

I went when I was 68 years old and after a day and a half I rented a scooter from a company I found online. They delivered it my resort, and it was wonderful! It saved my vacation! You can drive them into almost every ride and even restaurants. At night I drove it into my room and plugged it in. I would do that again in a heartbeat.

Louisa Reid you should wait one more year until 2021! New guardians of the galaxy ride, ratatouille ride, Tron ride, and Star Wars hotel are gunna be finished!

The most accurate comment I've seen in years

We are saving up now for Nov 2021.

Debbie V, so have I.

I’m going in 2020 because I don’t care about the Guardians of the Galaxy ride, Ratatouille ride, and definitely not the Star Wars hotel! 😛

These days even for ppl who don't love there it's actually probably cheaper just to get annual pass then ticket if going for more then 3 days.

Miss Amanda's world agreed! I’ve always gotten the gold pass which I think is exclusive to Florida residents and I think it has some pretty good perks

Carlos Pastran -- DVC get Florida prices, which is like a $300 saving!

Years ago, chatting it up with Vegas dealers netted a few comps for meals. Now that the bean counters are running/ruining everything, it's all different. When the mob ran Vegas, everyone had a good time. When Corporate stepped in, it was a nickel and dime you to death on everything. Now the hotels charge you for parking your car and you are staying there!! Daily fee of stupid proportions.

HUGE thumbs up!

That’s incredibly true I had a cousin who sat in his stroller it was annoying because we couldn’t get in line until someone figured out where to put the stroller and there was always a fight about who was going to push it

Even then, rent a stroller. Honestly, best Disney age is about the moment Disney calls them "adults", 9 or so.

This is always my #1 advice for young families!

I get what you are saying.... but I am going to Disney, with a stroller...

Eric Gee Without a doubt, stay on park!

My DH and I were just going over this last night. We were deciding between staying on property at Pop Century and staying off property at the Comfort Inn Lake Buena Vista (I'm a member of Choice Privileges). We ultimately chose Pop Century because DH loves Pop Century and he wanted the Magical Express service. I told him if I were going solo, I would have chose Comfort Inn.

Dont agree with this at all. People should stay in whatever makes their trip most possible and enjoyable. I stay off property and it allows me to go 4-5 times a year for what would probably be the cost of 2 on property stays. I'll take more Disney time over less Disney time.

I’ve never stayed on property, and my next trip we’re gonna! I’m so stoked for the convenience and perks it allows.

I agree. It may cost a bit more, but the perks are worth it to me. Early entry, magic bands, Magical Express, Disney transportation, six month restaurant reservations and 90 attraction reservations, to name a few.

Ember Amos I forwarded it to family who are planning their first visit.

Ember Amos don’t listen to her. She hates one of the best hotels because she will get wet when it rains

I agree! Great video!

Luci Lu what are you talking about?

Ember Amos I’m going on Sunday!!

I love people watching in WDW!

There's a place we like to people watch and relax in Epcot. It's by England's Rose and Crown, and faces the lake. It looks like it's outdoor seating for the restaurant, which I think is why there are nearly always tables empty, but it's not. Actually, anyone can sit there, and we nearly always get a hard cider from the kiosk and kick back until we're ready to hit the pavement again.

BLynn Meade Yes!!! It’s such a great feeling to take a moment. It helps you to appreciate how amazing WDW really is!

Jesse Gallant I agree! Only one time did I not make it and it’s because we got rain soaked! I’m on that early bus and stay til the end!

I agree here. I'm a triplet, and I went when I was 6 years old. My parents had my 2 year old sister to push around, and if we got worn out they would have to push us around too. Luckily they didn't, and it was a fun trip. I went back when I was 10, I'm 12 now.

We've found that if we wake up and go early (usually for park open), we can get most of what we want done before noon. Then in that hot midday, go back to the hotel for naps and the pool. Then back again for the cooler evenings. Breaks are essential for anyone, child or adult alike.

We usually packed a lot into our days when we were kids, but then we would have the next day by the pool. So it was always one day on and one day off, that seemed to work for all of us. Wish I was by that pool now!

Totally agree! We went a few years ago when I was 12 and I got a migraine from exhaustion. We had to go to a show so I could lay down.

BasicLeigh Disney I don’t think it stops at 10. We don’t have kids and we take afternoon naps 😂

.We always stay at AKL and agree that it makes the difference so I would only stay with savannah view but I also agree with you. Time of year is as important as time of day for seeing animals except for giraffes who only sleep an hour per day.

I think it’s worth it. Almost every morning we would wake up to animals grazing or roaming and the caretakers would do morning feeds that inevitably brought out a good amount of them. Some mornings they can be a bit sparse but the times you do see them completely makes up for it. We’re on their schedule after all. They are not on ours. Nahtazu! ^_^

Sad to hear it happens there too... We've give up on Blue Bayou at Disneyland because they keep seating us by the bussing station, when the ambiance is the only thing good about the place.

I know exactly where you are describing, we sat there too. Really busy there and not fun. We had terribly slow service and got free fast passes to Peter Pan, but lost like 1 1/2 hours of our day trying to finish eating lunch. The food was good though, and the manager was very apologetic.

My daughter and I went, just the two of us, in June. I jokingly said that they sat us in the corner everywhere we went. I am a little clausterphobic, and the two-tops don't have enough room and are usually placed near a wall, making them seem even smaller. Because of all of our seating experiences, I decided to ask for favor when we went to California Grill around fireworks time. Our reservation was for after the fireworks started, but we got there early, spoke nicely to the cast member, and voila! When we got off the elevator we were seated right away...front and center right at the window. It was the most expensive thing we did at Disney while we were there, but TOTALLY worth it. Very magical.
