Very helpful and eye opening episode. I knew the DAS system has recently been changed, but I didn’t know quite how much and why. Thank you Leslie and Becca for breaking it down for us.

Ha!! I get your Atkins reference 😂 i refuse to use the new terms 😊

Great info shared. Thank you!! Any recs on the security gates at Disneyland hotel? What time should I line up to take full advantage?

Things are changing so quickly now that info in this video is already outdated! Sleepy Hollow menu changed and the waffle sandwiches are gone! Still, great stuff as always you two. Can't wait for the Flustered Joe and Frustrated Leslie Lightning Lane Multi-Pass and Single Pass discussion!

I am hoping when multipass comes out on the 24th you can let us know more about and the risk of trying to book 7 days before the trip and find all the tier 1 rides sold out by people who could books days earlier and they overlap my dates.

Seabase Alpha was the old name.

Legoland is in the regional area of WDW and has an actual driving school for kids without a track.

After the release of Lightening Lane changes, I cannot wait for Genie+ 2.0, or Lightening Lane 2.0, or whatever y'all will call the episode!!

-Tom sawyer island is very old and it's fine to go ahead and refurb it. It'd make a wonderful Encanto area, especially considering the river crossing features so much into the generational trauma in the movie. Or crush it and lean into the villains area they keep talking about + a haunted mansion restaurant. -We already have lots of little kid things at Magic Kingdom and we should. Fantasyland and Tomorrowland are almost all little kid stuff. -Agree with Tomorrowland Speedway. It's too bad that they've never figured out air floating/air hockey ride vehicles. Floaty vehicles would be neat. -Agree with the Seas with Nemo and Friends. It's cute but they could do better. -Mission space is a sack of garbage and always will be so I'm down for it to go away. Still say an Axiom ride that's nature-focused would be a nice bridge for the lands across the way from each other. Never gonna happen. -Star Wars Launch Bay can relocate absolutely everything elsewhere to One Man's Dream and out goes One Man's Dream. Because OMD is old and tired and needs to be retired. -I'm fine with closing Muppetvision IF we get a Disney+ permanent recording of it, just for history's sake. I'd miss it. But I'd also be okay with it going. But then, I'm a very big advocate of Disney doing this in general before they close their attractions. Do a POV ride-through (or sit-through for shows) and permanently capture it. Do multiple angles if needed. They have the time, the tech, and it'd be a very nice thing to be able to go through your D+ and rewatch old stuff we can no longer experience. I'd also kill for a muppets land. It's not going to happen because Disney doesn't understand what the muppets are and won't listen to the remaining people who do. -Rafiki's Planet Watch is fine but meh. The train is a problem. Also, Dinoland could exist if they'd just create an archaeology IP (live action) ala the mummy/potc kind of vibes. Instead, they're getting rid of everything dinosaurs. Craziness. Kids like dinos. -Kali River Rapids is weak, tired, and could be turned into something much better.

My daughter is a big fan of Disney. She's seen various videos stating that (I believe) the area of Dinoland USA is going to become some sort of Tropical America theme??? There was mention of Encanto and (in place of Dinosaur) they're thinking of doing an Indiana Jones Ride (like the one in Disneyland.). It is such a shame that they're getting rid of Dinoland USA. It has to do with animals that are pretty cool. So why get rid of it. You can refurbish Dinosaur and get rid of Triceratops Spin and the carnival rides. You can also get rid of Camp Minnie Mickey. I can understand that it's used as a meet and great and that there is some show there. But, other than that, what else is there to do. Get rid of that area and bring in the Beastly Kingdom (that was going to be there anyway before the budget was cut.)

As an international visitor to Disney World last week, I can list several changes that Disney could implement to improve guest experiences - and that doesn't even include rides! There were some really disappointing roadblocks/issues we encountered while there.

I think that Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger Spin should go. I know the purpose it serves, but I feel like its time has passed and there could be a much better attraction put in that spot, even if they don't change the theme at all.

Just keep in mind that if you have at least 1 Little Girl & you meet a Princess, be sure that the Girl wears a Princess Dress so that the Princess can see the Dress.

My Disney Do: open up a free Disney Chase debit card for the exclusive character greeting opportunities

You are my people!!! My husband asked me how it made me feel to hear other people talking about Disney based on efficiency, and the answer is “awesome!” We are heading to Disneyland for their first time (my first since 2001) this summer, and I’ve been looking for tips without spoilers. I’m a WDW expert, but not Disneyland! Thank you!

Love your content but it would be great if you mentioned the time of year you are at the parks. Since certain times of the year what you show in your videos are extremely hard to do and other times easy. Example using genie+ to go on tons of rides in one day. Easy off season, extremely hard on busy seasons.

On joes afternoon stack did he tell skipper to find afternoon times?

Doing split stay and just did dining plan for 1 day since we always buy refillable mug and doing character meal

Great information! We haven’t used the dining plan in so long, I didn’t realize what all had changed. Thanks!

Great video! I am always looking to get to the VERY front for rope drop, but I haven't been in a couple years and am trying to figure out when the security gates open. Is the official time around 7am? I've seen some data points but nothing really consistent.

This was exactly what I was looking for! Thank you for the great content! Love all the strategy! Subscribed!

The reason you are hearing people complain about everything disney, Leslie, is because disney is a rip off with cut services or no conceirge parking at really pricey hotels

Yes! This is the content I needed! I switched my Disneyland 2024 vacation to Disney world because I reserved with the free QS dining offer in January. And I’m still having fun crunching the numbers in my spreadsheets (yes I l❤ those), you confirmed or answered a few things I was wondering , and the saving of credits at the beginning was a big one! thanks 😊

Done that! Go Leslie!

As a Disneyland Vet, this was confusing. At Disneyland when you purchase Genie plus you get all of your photo pass photos included. Recently we just made our first trip to WDW To find out out you needed to purchase memory maker to get access to your photos was a tad disappointing. (Minus attraction rides).

Thanks for the good advice! We LOVE Carthay Circle Lounge which has a completely different menu than Carthay Circle which we don’t love. The Lounge has wonderful small plates and we eat there every trip - we like this even more than Lamplight Lounge which we also love. We place it above Napa Rose which we also enjoy but Napa Rose has such a small menu and we don’t eat big steaks/big hunks of meat so I wish they would add more to the Napa Rose menu.

I was looking for this! Thanks for the information 🙂

I have a teenage son and he loves it still! Disney is for everyone! And you spoke to my heart when you said embrace it and do what you can while they still live with you.

Going this year twice and next year twice. And yes going to Epic yet we always go to both themes.

Thank you!! Everyone’s been saying « Disney’s offering a great new perk » with the check-in day water park, and I’m thinking it’s a half of nothing, like the dining promo card last year😂

Looking at sailings on the new Treasure ship and concierge is about 100% up charge from veranda now.

You said re-riding like it’s a bad thing. ;)

Question: If I want to share my Memory Maker with a family of three (2 adults and 1 child), do I need to add all three to my family and friends list? (I don't think the child has an MDE account.) If yes, do they count as 3 members out of the 25 maximum that I can add to my list? Thanks!

are there photopass photographer inside character dining restos?

We’ll be at Magic Kingdom during Spring Break so I think this will be very useful. Any chance of Disney shutting down someone’s My Disney Experience account for using Standby Skipper? That’s what I’d be concerned about.

We always stay on-site, for all the reasons you listed! (And we always book with Joe!)

Is May alright in terms of weather and crowd? 14-18th May

Thanks for the monthly breakdown and tips! On Leslie’s last point about Universal in 2025, do you think summer/fall 2025 could see even better discounts than this year with the EPIC universe planned opening ? TIA

Any recommendations for which park offers the highest value for the After Hours event? MK vs HS vs EPCOT? I see that MK is priced the highest, and Hollywood Studios is the lowest. Great to see $30/ticket savings for APs!

I thought in January & February there’s a few cheerleading events which can increase crowd levels at the parks and the value resorts.

I just found your podcast, and I love it!

I hope they do some discounts beyond Oct 3rd I’m going from Oct 20th

Just spent almost a month on the Wonder sailing from Australia. Dec 23 to Jan 24. 4 adults 4 children. The last week just 3 adults and we upgraded to concierge 2 bedroom suite. Luxury plus! Lounge was nice, but couldn’t even get a cocktail before 5pm. Not too many extras included. Hard to go back to a regular cabin with balcony- yes. Worth it - no.

We ended up getting that dining gift card for our visit which I prefer. It was a $720 credit which is nice but we can spend it on any food. I preferred that but there’s only 2 of us. Maybe the free dining plan would be good if there’s 4 or 5 in a room 🤷🏻‍♀️

You guys have some amazing trips planned!! Cannot wait to hear all about them!🥳🎉🥳🎉

Excellent🎉 thamks

We did Concierge on the Wish. It was a pleasant experience but it definitely was NOT, in my opinion, worth the extra costs. The on board concierge team seemed very under-staffed on the Wish, which was very disappointing. (One time, it was faster to go to Guest Services.) Plus, as you noted, even Concierge guests on the Wish can’t always get a cabana at Castaway. On our next cruise (7-day on the Treasure), we’re not doing Concierge; sticking with a regular veranda stateroom. I rather spend the money on Palo, excursions, spa, drinks in the lounges, merch etc. My experience is that DCL provides such a great experience for all guests, Concierge is kind of a great way to fleece the gullible and the conceited. But just my opinion…

I need to vouch for La Cantina de San Angel in EPCOT. Very delicious Mexican food. It might not offer Mobile Order, seating can be a pain, but it is a solid option!
