Front row on space mountain is a COMPLETELY different ride! You feel alone in space and have NO clue which direction you’re about to go in and it’s FANTASTIC 😄
@@cancelled148 You can still see the outline of the seats/ people even though the ride is dark, its still a nice experience either way though! But I do encourage the first row though :)
The first aid stations have more than OTCs and medical stuff, too! One time my dad lost a screw out of his glasses while we were in Epcot which made the lense fall out. I don't remember what made me have the notion to try the first aid station but I'm glad I did because they have eyeglass repair kits there! The cast member at the desk replaced the missing screw for free and we were on our way in less than five minutes. It was a lifesaver!
My boyfriend's glasses actually snapped at the arm and we could only find ladies reading glasses. We went to the Mexico pavilion and there were some CMs that were making crafts. They used crazy glue to fix his glasses for him. Went above and beyond!
Thanks for the information. I always worry about this exact situation as it has happened to me at home several times and I’d be lost if it happened while on vacation.
What about doing a video on a tight budget. I as a broke Floridian would love some tips. I am lucky to be able todrive right from home, no staying in resorts.
Tip if you are staying at Port Orleans: Riverside... if you are leaving a park when everyone else is (for example, after fireworks), there can be a huge line for the busses back to Riverside. Often there is a much shorter line (or no line) for French Quarter. You can take the bus to French Quarter and it's a short walk to Riverside from there.
I went last month & stayed at Riverside. The resorts shared buses in the evening at the time. So this isn't always a guarantee that Riverside & French Quarter will have their own transportation at night

We agree whole heartedly. Very professional quality & content. For us Disney Diehards, you never waste our time with nonsense or slow moving & boring content. Both Liza & I agree that your voice makes it a pleasure to get all the Disney news. See you on Aug 15th.
B1 is great for the original movie that only showed California sites, but try B2 (the middle middle) or B3 (the bottom middle) for a more exciting experience in the current Soarin over the World
Space Mountain is also a smoother ride in the second car. Also the front seat in each car is more friendly if you are a kid. There is more leg room in seats 2,3,5 and 6. When you get to the near front of the line, be attentive to the cast members working the ride. They will frequently call for a specific size party to fill all available seating on each ride. There are single rider lines for Rockin' Roller Coaster, Test Track, and Expedition Everest. If your party wants to get on many rides or ride the same one a few times and they don't mind being separated for the ride, choose this route as the single rider lines are usually shorter. However, they have a disclaimer that the single rider line can be as long as the stand-by.
Nichole Botsoe Sorry for the late response, but me and my family went to all of the parks, including the water parks. I rode Flight of Passage at Animal Kingdom for the first time and it was incredible. Definitely worth getting there early to ride without a crazy wait.
Do you mean the back because you are a thrill seeker - or because it's tamer? I'm scared of it but I want to do it this time because it may be my last chance ever with sight ... feel the fear and do it anyway. My friend said that and Flight of Passage look dangerous but I reassured her that everything is rigorously tested. Not sure how I feel about the seats on Flight of Passage (whether i'll feel like i'm coming out of it) but htat's one I really can't wait to try.
Just a heads up on the 'service your way' - we decided to opt out of the gift card and have our room serviced because we thought we would be hot and sweaty everyday and it would be gross to sleep on the same sheets for too long. Turns out they don't change the sheets unless you request it, which we weren't informed about before our stay. And we stayed for two weeks at the Polynesian. So we lost out on a lot. Just so you know :) either opt in or remember to ask for fresh sheets!
If you opt out of room service...you still get clean towels every day RIGHT????? I mean, all you have to do is stop the maid with the cart, give her the dirty knew & get fresh ones RIGHT????
@@carolmascaro8713 If you opt out, you can always call for fresh sheets, towels and toiletries to be delivered to your room by housekeeping. They just won't replace it automatically daily and you have to put your sheets on by yourself. And you can just hand them your trash and soiled sheets/towels at the door. I did this when they first started offering this and the check-in person explained everything.

I find it really funny that I know all of the tips in these types of videos even though I have never been to anywhere even remotely Disney related. Just show how much I love this channel I guess !
I did not know you could check bus arrival times in the app! Good to know as we stand there debating whether we should wait any longer or just call an Uber!
We dont plan on going for a few years yet (We are from Minnesota) and we want our kids to fully remember it and be ok flying. These are great for my kind of deep planning! Will be watching for years to come!
A great decision! I was 11 when I went there for a week and I still remember not as much as I do with my one day Disneyland trip when I was 15! So its definetly worth waiting! I personally try to go in 2021, because its their 50th celebration! Maybe thats a year you could probably get some great memories, if thats the time span you have in mind
@@ydunnpa My first trip was when I was 10. I'm 50 now and still remember bits and pieces. I never understood taking the really little kids, they'll remember nothing and can't go on half the rides. I think 10 and up, kids can go on most of the rides and will remember more. We took our son at 12 for his first time. I can't wait to go back but am going to wait for the Star Wars newness to fade a little.
@@marcokeller3575 I think taking younger kids is a good idea if you are more interested in character meetings, but they are still not going to remember a lot of it. My firdt disneyland paris trip was when I was 5 and my big memories are character meetings, small world and main street. WDW is just to expensive to have them only remember a few snipits. If you want to show your young kids disney, I would go with a few days disneyland.
@@levisbae4719 Disney World is in Florida and Disneyland is in California. Disneyland is 2 parks and smaller and Disney World is bigger with 4 parks and 2 water parks. Their are a ton of little differences as well.
I have a video suggestion! Must try foods for a first visit. I am going on my first Disney world trip next week for rival run weekend and my birthday. However, I am having a hard time picking snacks and food for my first visit!
ooo I just got back and have SO MANY IDEAS! Do you have the dining plan/are you on a budget (those would def make a difference to the snacks I'd suggest)?
@@HeyRowanEllis I am doing the budget route this time. My boyfriend has an annual pass and I may get one this upcoming year, but since this was my first time, we opted to get me regular tickets and park hopper.
Any large ride is usually only a 30 minute or less wait at the end of the night, no matter what time is posted. Especially for 7 dwarfs which usually says its like 60+ minutes, but it will be less than 30!!! (Flight or passage at the end of the night would be anywhere from 30-45mins)!!!
Christina Ehinger that’s incredible, it must’ve been a slower part of the season, for me 7 dwarfs is still around a 30min wait during fireworks which is not bad, but big thunder and splash mountain usually have 10 minute or less waits during fireworks so i try to go and ride both of those!!
Okay but seriously the water thing is such a great tip. It amazes me how many people DON'T know that you can get free waters! I saw so many people spending snack credits on water bottles during Food and Wine - that snack credit could have gotten you an entire food item! I actually had a few people ask me about the free water when they saw me go up and request for ice waters and then take them back so my husband and I could refill our water bottles. Genius hack. Saves so much money and frees up snack credits for better items!
Another great tip for a short cut is entering the animal kingdom if you want to beat the crowd go through the Rainforest Cafe and there's an entrance in the park there
my personal recommendation: eat a small breakfast in your hotel room before you go to the parks, just something that can hold you over. my family personally likes to eat brunch around 10-11, then an early dinner around 3:30-4:30, and another snack around 10. we generally buy groceries for our room, and we always get fruit cups, belvita bars, or something of the sort, and it works really well for us.
Unless she's talking about savoury snacks or (God forbid) vegetarian foods in the park. I had to turn that video off because she was bumming me out so bad 😂
A great tip is you can request the top row in section B on Soarin. Just ask a cast member. They will tell you to wait for the ride that you were meant to be on to be over. Then they will place you in your requested seat on the next ride.
When comparing the front and the back of the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, the front is definitely a lot calmer while the back is definitely a thrill seeker and it seems faster. The back is definitely my favorite but with the front, you can always see some hidden Mickeys (and even an Oswald) on one of the lifts and it’s a lot slower so you can look for them longer
I essentially used International Gsteway to hit a late breakfast/brunch (11:35) at Trattoria al Forno. Before that I used EMH to hit Future World & after breakfast wandered world Pavilion. No worrying about how to get to my breakfast reservation (stayed at Riverside so an earlier reservation meant figuring out transportation) and experienced a lot of attractions & meet & greets.
I went to MK the other night at 8:30 (park closed at 10) and was able to ride Haunted Mansion, Winnie The Pooh, The Little Mermaid, Buzz Lightyear, and Peoplemover. All were walk on no wait. Plus there is no huge crowd behind the castle watching fireworks so it was great to watch the finale from Fantasyland!
The first aid fact is so true. I had a gigantic scratch on my wrist from pulling on the toilet paper roll too hard (👀 What- Memento Mori was about to get a restock 👀) and it was fixed perfectly. So she aint lying when shes talking about the first aid.
Another ride that seating matters is Frozen ever after in Epcot. The ride cars turn around and goes backwards around halfway through so you might want to get in the middle if you get sick easily.
Seat choice makes a huge difference for my family on Soarin! We always request front row seats so you don't have to see the silhouettes of dangling feet during your ride. This extra five (at most) wait is well worth it to get the perfect view
Seat choice makes a pretty big difference on the Tower of Terror. The front row is far more terrifying than the back row and you get a better picture moment when the doors open up over Hollywood Studios
I love the first aid center and the baby center! It’s such a great resource - to just get band aids - one time I got a cut once and just needed some cream and band aids, another day I left my blood sugar monitor at the hotel and instead of spending 40 mins each way (we were staying at pop century) and back or longer I just went to the first aid a few times through the day and checked there...... the baby center has lots of changes tables not just 1 like the regular restrooms and it’s a nice quiet place to sit and feed your baby/toddler/child or just sit and rest in the peace.........
Kaitlyn I like your name it’s my name and your lucky you spell it right 😂 I hate those katelyns or Kaitlin’s AND DON’T EVEN TALK ABOUT CAITLYN WHY THE HECK C 🤢
Ever since I found this channel since last week, I haven't been able to stop watching... Everything is so true and useful!! Can you please do a video telling us which seats are the best on each ride (just like how you said BTRR's back seats are the best for thrill-seekers and front seats are for more tame riders, but a whole video on it)?
For the seats on rides, Expedition Everest definitely has one. During the backward portion, if you sit at the back, you feel more like you will go upside down than in the front!
Hopping from Hollywood Studios to Epcot for lunch is always a great idea if you like food that tastes good. It's about the only switch that's worth the lost time traveling between the parks.
The only one I didn’t know was that Disney characters do the wake up calls! How fun! My ride seating recommendation is to wait for section B, row 1 on Soarin’! Totally worth it!
Absolutely ask for the pilot spot on Smuggler's Run. Pilot is the best one, if you can get it but gunner is still fun as well. The engineer is good for smaller kids and people who don't want an important part of the story, but the pilot (the left side in my opinion, that's Han's seat) is by far the best spot on SM!
AT 4:00 pm for a short time in Hollywood studios, there are rare characters out from the night show Fantasmic !! To keep from too many guests crowding one place, they change the location of the meet and greet. First is at the main gate to Hollywood Studios just off to the right. The second and one is behind Rockin' Rollercoaster past the queue line if you ontinue to walk back, theres the cutest meet and great location! I've met Bert from Marry Poppins, Gipetto, Mulon, Pocahontas, and my girl Tiana!! There are all sorts of different characters that come out. Be sure to PLAN AHEAD!!! If you are leaving the park, I'd go ride Rockin' then go check that back corner. After that check the main gate and vice versa if you are entering the park!!!
based on my experience the middle seats on flight of passage are better than the edges! in the middle I got more mist over the water and it felt a bit more immersive than the edge. every seat is great though, that ride is just fantastic!
Ride the Flying Carpets whilst the fireworks are on. It is the best cause you can watch the fireworks from high up. It is like the best view and you can ride it loads to see all of them.
On flight of passage you want to go to the right where they start splitting the line up (so you go down) and then you want to be in the middle of the room (so you will be in the middle of the row).
@@michelehonea6240 Quick question ... I would do that but am I right in thinking there are steps then? I have major problems with steps thanks to a bad fall ... I'd be likely to fall unless there was a railing.
Ate at the T-Rex restaurant back in Oct. 2018 and it was FANTASTIC! Food was yummy and came quickly, service was great, atmosphere was perfect for my nerdy husband and I. Great place to go!
The back of Everest is awesome for speed, but the front 1-3ish rows you can see the Epcot ball at the top of the tower before you start going backwards!! It’s a great view for a couple seconds ☺️☺️☺️
Agreed. That's why I always go for the Single Rider line if it's available because you never know what seat you'll get. I have rode Everest over 100 times and can't complain about any seat on the ride :-)
FYI, The last two times we were at Nomad Lounge we tried to order off the main menu at Tiffins and were refused. This was in September 2018, and February 2019. Before this since Nomad Lounge/Tiffins opened we were able to order off either menu. When we asked why the cast member told us you have never been able to do that. I do not know if this is a new policy, or we happened to get two different cast members that did not want to deal with a cross order.
I've never been able to order from Tiffins' Menu from The Nomad Lounge. I've asked maybe maybe thrice, and just stopped worrying about it cause Tiffins isn't really ever super packed. Also in my opinion only worth it if you have a dining pass.
Just a heads up, on Everest, depending on which you prefer smoother and a bit slower, if you sit in the front the big hill will be tamer and if you sit in the back the trip backwards will be a bit tamer.
Thank you for saying that, for a weird reason - my father is deceased and I haven't been to Disney since I was 10 or 11, and as I read your comment I remembered him insisting we sit in the back for that very reason. Nice to remember things I didn't know I did.
Last year I went to Disneyland and I sat on the very last row of Splash Mountain and I didn't get wet at all. A lady in the front wanted to trade sit with me I told her no, sorry!!
For Bus Arrival Times I have found that Goggle maps works pretty well if you choose the mass transit button. Just in case the displays in the wait areas aren't working. Have fun!!!
Expedition Everest it really matters where you sit. The front is less bumpy but also more of a thrill going up, but sitting in the back is super fun when you go backwards!!!
I was just there. first trip. I felt super empowered by your videos. One thing I noticed is that the "free" water was often times very difficult to even find, and when I did, it was hard to even get to. This is something for Disney to work on, I think.
When we took our two year old for her first visit she was recently weaned from her bottle. I don’t know if it was all so overwhelming or what, but we ended up NEEDING a heated bottle and a rock for our girlie and the baby care centers were a lifesaver!🍼
What does the no feet in front of you mean? Is it other people’s feet or your feet? I see comments on this and have no idea what this means 😂 going first time in September lol
Thank you so much for all of these! My wife (30YO) has never been to Disney World before and we are going on vacation next year. I know my fair share about WDW, but these videos are making it easy for me to make sure her first visit is perfect.
On Splash Mountain, the 3rd seat will get you the LEAST wet!! The seat you'll get soaked in is definitely the front. The most bang for you buck in Magic Kingdom is the Liberty Tree Tavern. It's all you can eat southern style food. Great food and service for the money! Also, the bridge when you just get off of BTMRR is a great firework viewing area. At the end of the night when you don't want to wait through the hour line for the monorail, take the walking path to the Contemporary and get on there, there's never a line!
Silly Randomness yeah but i think she’s talking about basically the opposite happening you get in line for a ride that says it’s two hours long and it’s actually 30 minutes
The cast members in first aid are the tops! They're friendly and reassuring in the face of headaches, blisters, and crippling stomach aches....all had by me over one week, lol.
Yeah, I had a bad blister on my foot during one trip, lost my footing on some steps and twisted my ankle during another, and most recently I fell flat on the asphalt and scraped my knee during dapper day because I was wearing weird shoes. All three incidents I went into first aid and they took great care of me. All the bandages were free, too! I still have my turquoise ankle wrap as a fond memory of that trip (no pun intended).
I haven’t been to Disney World in almost 10 years, so it’s changed a lot since my last visit. I know my favorite thing to do was get on rides during the fireworks, because you can see the Fireworks from almost anywhere in the park. You don’t need to stand around and watch it. Also...I went to Disney so many times that I didn’t even really feel compelled to see the light shows, again.
Same for my visits in December (I was always there at rope drop)! : ) In the morning, it generally took about 45 minutes to get from the Pandora/LK path to the boarding area for Flight of Passage.
One cast member told me once that Star Tours is a completely different ride in the back corner seats and that that's "where the cast members ride." My husband and I have ridden Star Tours a million times, but have never gotten the back corners. One day when it was dead and we had the whole ride to ourselves, I sat in one corner of the back row and he sat the other. It was so intense that we both got sick!
If you like a more intense ride, see if you can sit in the back corner of Star Tours, you can feel a lot more of the turns and dips. And if it stops on a turn you can feel yourself dangle so it helps with the immersion.
OOOOUUUU I got a great seat placement matters attraction!!! The Great Movie: seat placement really matters as to which vehicle show scenes/scene affects you see...……. oh wait The Great Movie is no longer.... R.I.P. :(
i was suppose to go to disney in a month. had everything booked and planned then we had to cancel everything. i didn’t cancel in enough time and they still shipped my magicbands. 😭 anyway, the audio on this one makes it sound like your hiding in a dark alley or hallway telling us these like they’re actually underground secrets. lol.
One of the rides where seat matters is Soarin! Try to ask to ride in the middle of the top row, you’ll have the best view with no feet above your head or distortion of the screen!
If you're looking to avoid the fireworks crowd on Main Street, take the backstage exit between the Plaza Restaurant and The Tomorrowland Terrace. It'll bring you behind all the shops and out near Tony's. Disney only opens it during the fireworks and special events, but it's the quickest way out of the park near close. Just look for a cast member waving a guide light!
Park wait times--so true! We got off of Aliens flying saucer & knew the park was about to close. We went ahead & got in line for Slinky Dog Dash about 5 mins before park closing. The posted wait time was 60 mins. We waited exactly 30 mins. [extra info] It started raining just as we were getting on the ride, so no time to throw on ponchos. I think that made it even more awesome! We felt like we’d won the day!
@@craigmacher8439 It's an old Burger King commercial. I'd link it but then it'll be stuck in your head forever too and I don't want to do that to another human being. There's some characters you don't want a wake up call from.
Another major "secret" to Tables in Wonderland is the free valet parking at resorts when dining there. We drive in, stay at Poly, and on our AK day, have breakfast at Boma. We drive to Jambo House, valet for free, eat, and take the short bus ride from JH instead of from Poly. Love that discount!
Doesn’t exist anymore thanks to that Mandalay Bay shooter in Vegas, 🙁 they wont tell you that at Disney... but housekeeping person HAS to come see your room once a day to “empty your trash “ whether you like it or not.
Short cut tip: You can walk from the Polynesian to the transportation center which can sometimes get you on the monorail to Epcot faster. Medical Center tip: If you need medicine refrigerated you can bring your med to the medical center and they will keep it cool for you.
tip: if you are an early bird and want to ride flight of passage, go straight to fop at rope drop! my family and i went to disney last year and it took us 1 1/2 hours from our hotel to off the ride! we only waited about 15 minutes for the ride
Front row on space mountain is a COMPLETELY different ride! You feel alone in space and have NO clue which direction you’re about to go in and it’s FANTASTIC 😄
Jennifer Cuevas ty for the tip!
Amen
Jennifer Cuevas but it’s always dark in that ride. So wouldn’t that make all the seats dark?
I totally agree!
@@cancelled148 You can still see the outline of the seats/ people even though the ride is dark, its still a nice experience either way though! But I do encourage the first row though :)
The first aid stations have more than OTCs and medical stuff, too! One time my dad lost a screw out of his glasses while we were in Epcot which made the lense fall out.

That’s so cool.
Thanks for the information. I always worry about this exact situation as it has happened to me at home several times and I’d be lost if it happened while on vacation.
Where you sit on Soarin' makes a huge difference! 1st row is always best, no feet dangling!
And to add onto this - being in the MIDDLE, or corral 'B" is key or everything will look bent. :)
Kelly Stewart I agree. The middle corral and top or middle row has the least curve to the screen!
@@marvinadn Yesss! 👍
We choose middle C when possible as the hubs isn’t fond of heights,makes the scene less curvy.
And in splash if you want to get wet sit in front if not sit is the back and 🦆. We always 🦆.

Seat selection is also really important on Soarin at Epcot. Sitting on the sides is going to make the sights look more curved.
Came here to say the same thing! Also, I prefer being in the first row (highest 'flight') as opposed to the third row.
This is definitely the #1 ride I will always wait if I have to for front row. So worth it!
You always want to request loading area B. It's in the middle of the screen.
Joe Z One time there was a group of clueless people ahead of me that celebrated when they were put in A

I see a lot of comments about Soarin, wanting to sit in the middle.
A more specific tip is to ask for B1 (center section, front row)
Exactly what I was going to say. This way you don't have feet above you and it look more realistic.
I don’t mind the feet, but B for sure because it’s not bendy!!
B1 is great for the original movie that only showed California sites, but try B2 (the middle middle) or B3 (the bottom middle) for a more exciting experience in the current Soarin over the World

Elizabeth James the back because I’m a thrill seeker ! I would sit in the front if I was you so you can see everything
tianna roberson oh yea when I went on the back on that ride, I screamed so much because of the speed
I live close to Cedar Point, kinda giggling at Fast and scary comments.. lol I love Disney World though..
You go backwards just about as much as you go forward on this ride. During the high speed parts anyway.

Good tip! Clean sheets are pretty important for my group! Wouldn’t have know this otherwise
Definitely on Soarin’, since siting in the middle (B) section is a MUCH better experience than being on the sides
I find it really funny that I know all of the tips in these types of videos even though I have never been to anywhere even remotely Disney related. Just show how much I love this channel I guess !
I did not know you could check bus arrival times in the app! Good to know as we stand there debating whether we should wait any longer or just call an Uber!
Shayne Newell I didn’t know this either! It’s a great tip I will surely be using when we go end of September
We dont plan on going for a few years yet (We are from Minnesota) and we want our kids to fully remember it and be ok flying. These are great for my kind of deep planning! Will be watching for years to come!
lauren gapinski haha, you will need all the planning you can get! Have a fabulous vacation!!!
A great decision! I was 11 when I went there for a week and I still remember not as much as I do with my one day Disneyland trip when I was 15! So its definetly worth waiting! I personally try to go in 2021, because its their 50th celebration! Maybe thats a year you could probably get some great memories, if thats the time span you have in mind
@@ydunnpa My first trip was when I was 10. I'm 50 now and still remember bits and pieces. I never understood taking the really little kids, they'll remember nothing and can't go on half the rides. I think 10 and up, kids can go on most of the rides and will remember more. We took our son at 12 for his first time. I can't wait to go back but am going to wait for the Star Wars newness to fade a little.
@@marcokeller3575 I think taking younger kids is a good idea if you are more interested in character meetings, but they are still not going to remember a lot of it. My firdt disneyland paris trip was when I was 5 and my big memories are character meetings, small world and main street. WDW is just to expensive to have them only remember a few snipits. If you want to show your young kids disney, I would go with a few days disneyland.
@@ydunnpa thanks for this piece of info. I just decided on 2021 bc my Family reunion is 2020 so celebrating Disney's 50th will be awesome
People call Disney World DISNEY LAND the cringe it gets me every time
My friend said Disney California yesterday and I was so triggered lol
I know it.’a very triggering 😂😭
Never been to Disney but whats the difference?
@@levisbae4719 Disney World is in Florida and Disneyland is in California. Disneyland is 2 parks and smaller and Disney World is bigger with 4 parks and 2 water parks. Their are a ton of little differences as well.
Yes! It's so annoying!
I have a video suggestion!
Must try foods for a first visit.
I am going on my first Disney world trip next week for rival run weekend and my birthday. However, I am having a hard time picking snacks and food for my first visit!
ooo I just got back and have SO MANY IDEAS! Do you have the dining plan/are you on a budget (those would def make a difference to the snacks I'd suggest)?
@@HeyRowanEllis I am doing the budget route this time.
My boyfriend has an annual pass and I may get one this upcoming year, but since this was my first time, we opted to get me regular tickets and park hopper.
DOLE WHIP
@@starfishocean8790 that is definitely on my list!! Haha
divotslice Go to Casey’s Corner!!
Any large ride is usually only a 30 minute or less wait at the end of the night, no matter what time is posted. Especially for 7 dwarfs which usually says its like 60+ minutes, but it will be less than 30!!! (Flight or passage at the end of the night would be anywhere from 30-45mins)!!!
Omg yes, we rode 7 Dwarves one night like 4x in a row during and after fireworks because it was like 15 min wait even though the sign said like 45!
I went on flight of passage 5 mins before closing and the wait was only 45 mins! Which is GREAT compared to earlier that day (4 HOURS)!!
Christina Ehinger that’s incredible, it must’ve been a slower part of the season, for me 7 dwarfs is still around a 30min wait during fireworks which is not bad, but big thunder and splash mountain usually have 10 minute or less waits during fireworks so i try to go and ride both of those!!
@@otezzy12221 it was in December when it was packed!! Although it was really cold that night so people may have left early!
8:43 when that person falls off the curb HAHA
Tori Johnsen Breaking ankles.
Space Moutain.
FRONT ROW!!!
Okay but seriously the water thing is such a great tip. It amazes me how many people DON'T know that you can get free waters! I saw so many people spending snack credits on water bottles during Food and Wine - that snack credit could have gotten you an entire food item! I actually had a few people ask me about the free water when they saw me go up and request for ice waters and then take them back so my husband and I could refill our water bottles. Genius hack. Saves so much money and frees up snack credits for better items!
I am a Disney world veteran by far but I still learn new things from you AJ!
Me too
Me three
Me 4
We have the same name lol
My fortieth year going and me too
Another great tip for a short cut is entering the animal kingdom if you want to beat the crowd go through the Rainforest Cafe and there's an entrance in the park there
I used the Disney app to order food on a recent trip and it was magic! Just walk right up and grab it when it's ready. No waiting in line!
my personal recommendation: eat a small breakfast in your hotel room before you go to the parks, just something that can hold you over. my family personally likes to eat brunch around 10-11, then an early dinner around 3:30-4:30, and another snack around 10. we generally buy groceries for our room, and we always get fruit cups, belvita bars, or something of the sort, and it works really well for us.
Always love your vlogs. They always sound so upbeat and fun!
Unless she's talking about savoury snacks or (God forbid) vegetarian foods in the park. I had to turn that video off because she was bumming me out so bad 😂
A great tip is you can request the top row in section B on Soarin. Just ask a cast member. They will tell you to wait for the ride that you were meant to be on to be over. Then they will place you in your requested seat on the next ride.
When comparing the front and the back of the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, the front is definitely a lot calmer while the back is definitely a thrill seeker and it seems faster. The back is definitely my favorite but with the front, you can always see some hidden Mickeys (and even an Oswald) on one of the lifts and it’s a lot slower so you can look for them longer
I essentially used International Gsteway to hit a late breakfast/brunch (11:35) at Trattoria al Forno. Before that I used EMH to hit Future World & after breakfast wandered world Pavilion.
No worrying about how to get to my breakfast reservation (stayed at Riverside so an earlier reservation meant figuring out transportation) and experienced a lot of attractions & meet & greets.
I went to MK the other night at 8:30 (park closed at 10) and was able to ride Haunted Mansion, Winnie The Pooh, The Little Mermaid, Buzz Lightyear, and Peoplemover. All were walk on no wait. Plus there is no huge crowd behind the castle watching fireworks so it was great to watch the finale from Fantasyland!
Front row of Everest to be able to see epcot and Hollywood when the track ends!
The first aid fact is so true. I had a gigantic scratch on my wrist from pulling on the toilet paper roll too hard (👀 What- Memento Mori was about to get a restock 👀) and it was fixed perfectly. So she aint lying when shes talking about the first aid.
Another ride that seating matters is Frozen ever after in Epcot. The ride cars turn around and goes backwards around halfway through so you might want to get in the middle if you get sick easily.
Top row (Row 1) of Soarin' is definitely the best!
Yes!!!!!!
and yeah a bit echoy... but we can deal with it
Seat choice makes a huge difference for my family on Soarin! We always request front row seats so you don't have to see the silhouettes of dangling feet during your ride. This extra five (at most) wait is well worth it to get the perfect view
Seat choice makes a pretty big difference on the Tower of Terror. The front row is far more terrifying than the back row and you get a better picture moment when the doors open up over Hollywood Studios
Happy 10th year Anniversary DFB!! 🎉 ( I saw the post on Instagram) Thanks for making our Disney vacations even more magical
For the seats tip:
Splash Mountain if you wanna get soaked sit in front, if not then the back.
also its more fun the front.
although, sometimes in the back, you get the secondary splash from when another log goes down and you're beside them.
I was in second row and only my pants got a little wet, dried in about 30 mins in 70° weather
I love the first aid center and the baby center! It’s such a great resource - to just get band aids - one time I got a cut once and just needed some cream and band aids, another day I left my blood sugar monitor at the hotel and instead of spending 40 mins each way (we were staying at pop century) and back or longer I just went to the first aid a few times through the day and checked there...... the baby center has lots of changes tables not just 1 like the regular restrooms and it’s a nice quiet place to sit and feed your baby/toddler/child or just sit and rest in the peace.........
i knew haha. best seating on a ride tip: on soarin ask to be in row 1 to avoid feet blocking your view
PixiedustYourself And make sure you’re in the middle otherwise the image is bent
@@Kaitlyn-qo7bi gotta love that bent eiffel tower lol
Kaitlyn I like your name it’s my name and your lucky you spell it right 😂 I hate those katelyns or Kaitlin’s AND DON’T EVEN TALK ABOUT CAITLYN WHY THE HECK C 🤢
Woah I had no idea that service your way was a thing! That's what I love about this channel, I'm always learning new things about Disney!
Ever since I found this channel since last week, I haven't been able to stop watching... Everything is so true and useful!! Can you please do a video telling us which seats are the best on each ride (just like how you said BTRR's back seats are the best for thrill-seekers and front seats are for more tame riders, but a whole video on it)?
For the seats on rides, Expedition Everest definitely has one. During the backward portion, if you sit at the back, you feel more like you will go upside down than in the front!
For Space Mountain, the front seat does not whip you around as much/not as bumpy ride, where as the back seat is a way rougher ride!!!
i once rode the carousel during wishes and it was amazing and beautiful
am i the only one who could never switch parks midday, i have to go the entire day in the park
It would throw my "vibe" off lol! I feel you. Only time I can do this is with universal bc it's so small.
Yeah its also not allowed to switch parks
Time is money, especially at Disney. Switching parks burns touring time AND costs extra!
Yeah! Hopping to go to a ride is just a waste of time when you could go the next day and experience more it may cost more but it’s way better!
Hopping from Hollywood Studios to Epcot for lunch is always a great idea if you like food that tastes good. It's about the only switch that's worth the lost time traveling between the parks.
The only one I didn’t know was that Disney characters do the wake up calls! How fun! My ride seating recommendation is to wait for section B, row 1 on Soarin’! Totally worth it!
Absolutely ask for the pilot spot on Smuggler's Run. Pilot is the best one, if you can get it but gunner is still fun as well. The engineer is good for smaller kids and people who don't want an important part of the story, but the pilot (the left side in my opinion, that's Han's seat) is by far the best spot on SM!
The Dueling Piano place had a cover charge so we didn't go in. We could see inside and it was practically empty!
Front row of the Rockin' Rollercoaster 😊 I ask for it every time and it's incredible 😀
AT 4:00 pm for a short time in Hollywood studios, there are rare characters out from the night show Fantasmic !! To keep from too many guests crowding one place, they change the location of the meet and greet. First is at the main gate to Hollywood Studios just off to the right. The second and one is behind Rockin' Rollercoaster past the queue line if you ontinue to walk back, theres the cutest meet and great location! I've met Bert from Marry Poppins, Gipetto, Mulon, Pocahontas, and my girl Tiana!! There are all sorts of different characters that come out. Be sure to PLAN AHEAD!!! If you are leaving the park, I'd go ride Rockin' then go check that back corner. After that check the main gate and vice versa if you are entering the park!!!
based on my experience the middle seats on flight of passage are better than the edges! in the middle I got more mist over the water and it felt a bit more immersive than the edge. every seat is great though, that ride is just fantastic!
Ride the Flying Carpets whilst the fireworks are on. It is the best cause you can watch the fireworks from high up. It is like the best view and you can ride it loads to see all of them.
Even higher than that, go on the astro orbiter. Same thing, but since it's near the front of the park, you can see some of the projections.
Camryn Singsandreads
That’s smart!!
On flight of passage you want to go to the right where they start splitting the line up (so you go down) and then you want to be in the middle of the room (so you will be in the middle of the row).
Is that a good seating? What is the benefit? We are going soon and that's a ride must!
@@michelehonea6240 Quick question ... I would do that but am I right in thinking there are steps then? I have major problems with steps thanks to a bad fall ... I'd be likely to fall unless there was a railing.
Ate at the T-Rex restaurant back in Oct. 2018 and it was FANTASTIC! Food was yummy and came quickly, service was great, atmosphere was perfect for my nerdy husband and I. Great place to go!
The back of Everest is awesome for speed, but the front 1-3ish rows you can see the Epcot ball at the top of the tower before you start going backwards!! It’s a great view for a couple seconds ☺️☺️☺️
Agreed. That's why I always go for the Single Rider line if it's available because you never know what seat you'll get. I have rode Everest over 100 times and can't complain about any seat on the ride :-)
FYI, The last two times we were at Nomad Lounge we tried to order off the main menu at Tiffins and were refused.
This was in September 2018, and February 2019. Before this since Nomad Lounge/Tiffins opened we were able to order off either menu. When we asked why the cast member told us you have never been able to do that.
I do not know if this is a new policy, or we happened to get two different cast members that did not want to deal with a cross order.
I've never been able to order from Tiffins' Menu from The Nomad Lounge. I've asked maybe maybe thrice, and just stopped worrying about it cause Tiffins isn't really ever super packed. Also in my opinion only worth it if you have a dining pass.
PS. I've been going to the parks for over 15 years and at least once a year since 2014.
I love the parades and shows
Not because I watch them, because I like going on longer wait time rides during the parades
Just a heads up, on Everest, depending on which you prefer smoother and a bit slower, if you sit in the front the big hill will be tamer and if you sit in the back the trip backwards will be a bit tamer.
Best seats:
BTM, SDD, SDMT, EE: back row
ARnR, SM: front row
Soarin: middle section front row
Well, anyone who is watching this is a Disney die-hard b/c they know all this stuff now
😁
On splash you usually get less wet in the back of the log, this does vary however 👊🏻❤️🦅
Thank you for saying that, for a weird reason - my father is deceased and I haven't been to Disney since I was 10 or 11, and as I read your comment I remembered him insisting we sit in the back for that very reason. Nice to remember things I didn't know I did.
Last year I went to Disneyland and I sat on the very last row of Splash Mountain and I didn't get wet at all. A lady in the front wanted to trade sit with me I told her no, sorry!!
In the front going down the big hill, if you duck the people behind get all the water in their face!😁
For Bus Arrival Times I have found that Goggle maps works pretty well if you choose the mass transit button. Just in case the displays in the wait areas aren't working. Have fun!!!
Expedition Everest it really matters where you sit. The front is less bumpy but also more of a thrill going up, but sitting in the back is super fun when you go backwards!!!
I was just there. first trip. I felt super empowered by your videos. One thing I noticed is that the "free" water was often times very difficult to even find, and when I did, it was hard to even get to. This is something for Disney to work on, I think.
Susan Wolfla Every quick service restaurant or place that sells fountain drinks with ice gives free ice water...just ask.
I go to the parks practically weekly. And I never knew that Jefferey’s Coffee would give me 20% off.
When we took our two year old for her first visit she was recently weaned from her bottle. I don’t know if it was all so overwhelming or what, but we ended up NEEDING a heated bottle and a rock for our girlie and the baby care centers were a lifesaver!🍼
The back of thunder mountain is so freaking fun like omfg😂 you whip like none other and I LOVE it
Soarin' is definitely a "front row" kind of ride! No feet in front of you, lol!! (Also, awesome video, as always!)
What does the no feet in front of you mean? Is it other people’s feet or your feet? I see comments on this and have no idea what this means 😂 going first time in September lol
Heeeey was that Morimoto ? Love him lol I’m gonna go there now
Thank you so much for all of these! My wife (30YO) has never been to Disney World before and we are going on vacation next year. I know my fair share about WDW, but these videos are making it easy for me to make sure her first visit is perfect.
On Splash Mountain, the 3rd seat will get you the LEAST wet!! The seat you'll get soaked in is definitely the front.
The most bang for you buck in Magic Kingdom is the Liberty Tree Tavern. It's all you can eat southern style food. Great food and service for the money!
Also, the bridge when you just get off of BTMRR is a great firework viewing area.
At the end of the night when you don't want to wait through the hour line for the monorail, take the walking path to the Contemporary and get on there, there's never a line!
One time I was on line for Splash Mountain and it said that it would be a 90 min wait yet I ended up on the line for about 3 hours 🤦🏽♀️
For number one it's the same anywhere!!!! Universal said 30 minute wait (it was Jurassic Park ride) it really was 2 HOURS!!
i think what she’s saying is that at the end of the night the wait times are longer then you’re going to be actually waiting.
@@marissaflower2773 It was at night time when it happened.
Silly Randomness yeah but i think she’s talking about basically the opposite happening you get in line for a ride that says it’s two hours long and it’s actually 30 minutes
@@marissaflower2773 I am just saying it could be any way longer or shorter
Silly Randomness true true
The cast members in first aid are the tops! They're friendly and reassuring in the face of headaches, blisters, and crippling stomach aches....all had by me over one week, lol.
Yeah, I had a bad blister on my foot during one trip, lost my footing on some steps and twisted my ankle during another, and most recently I fell flat on the asphalt and scraped my knee during dapper day because I was wearing weird shoes. All three incidents I went into first aid and they took great care of me. All the bandages were free, too! I still have my turquoise ankle wrap as a fond memory of that trip (no pun intended).
I haven’t been to Disney World in almost 10 years, so it’s changed a lot since my last visit.
I know my favorite thing to do was get on rides during the fireworks, because you can see the Fireworks from almost anywhere in the park. You don’t need to stand around and watch it. Also...I went to Disney so many times that I didn’t even really feel compelled to see the light shows, again.
I just love people-watching in these videos 😂😌
When I was there, the path connecting Pandora and Lion King was part of the line for Flight of Passage haha
Same for my visits in December (I was always there at rope drop)! : ) In the morning, it generally took about 45 minutes to get from the Pandora/LK path to the boarding area for Flight of Passage.
Oof!! That doesn't sound fun. :(
One cast member told me once that Star Tours is a completely different ride in the back corner seats and that that's "where the cast members ride." My husband and I have ridden Star Tours a million times, but have never gotten the back corners. One day when it was dead and we had the whole ride to ourselves, I sat in one corner of the back row and he sat the other. It was so intense that we both got sick!
If you like a more intense ride, see if you can sit in the back corner of Star Tours, you can feel a lot more of the turns and dips. And if it stops on a turn you can feel yourself dangle so it helps with the immersion.
OOOOUUUU I got a great seat placement matters attraction!!! The Great Movie: seat placement really matters as to which vehicle show scenes/scene affects you see...……. oh wait The Great Movie is no longer.... R.I.P. :(
i was suppose to go to disney in a month. had everything booked and planned then we had to cancel everything. i didn’t cancel in enough time and they still shipped my magicbands. 😭
anyway, the audio on this one makes it sound like your hiding in a dark alley or hallway telling us these like they’re actually underground secrets. lol.
Kimmy Modar That’s sad that you had to cancel 😢
Aww, that's so sad 😰😭
That's okay, Kimmy. You'll get to plan another trip one day. .. and these RUclips videos always help when I get the Disney fever.
One of the rides where seat matters is Soarin! Try to ask to ride in the middle of the top row, you’ll have the best view with no feet above your head or distortion of the screen!
If you're looking to avoid the fireworks crowd on Main Street, take the backstage exit between the Plaza Restaurant and The Tomorrowland Terrace. It'll bring you behind all the shops and out near Tony's. Disney only opens it during the fireworks and special events, but it's the quickest way out of the park near close. Just look for a cast member waving a guide light!
Rock N rollercoaster you WANT to sit in the front
are we just going to ignore the guy breaking his ankle at 8:44? 🤣
This is bothering me, i don't see it??
Nvm found it 😂⚠️
Park wait times--so true! We got off of Aliens flying saucer & knew the park was about to close. We went ahead & got in line for Slinky Dog Dash about 5 mins before park closing. The posted wait time was 60 mins.
We waited exactly 30 mins.
[extra info] It started raining just as we were getting on the ride, so no time to throw on ponchos. I think that made it even more awesome! We felt like we’d won the day!
My wife and I completely agree with you about riding Big Thunder Mountain in the back. So much better! Especially at night 😁
14:29 - I ordered the character wake up call once. I woke up with Burger King in the bed, trying to hand me a croissanwich. Buyer beware.
What?
@@craigmacher8439 It's an old Burger King commercial. I'd link it but then it'll be stuck in your head forever too and I don't want to do that to another human being. There's some characters you don't want a wake up call from.
@@craigmacher8439 You need to look it up. Unless you're trying to sleep here in a few lol
FYI first aid will also have contact solution. My contact was bothering me and I just needed to clean it and they help me out.
kathi asako prado thank youuuuu!! I didnt know this ❤️
@@adrinietocano you are welcome. I didn't know if they would have it but I figured it couldn't hurt to ask. And they did.
Another major "secret" to Tables in Wonderland is the free valet parking at resorts when dining there. We drive in, stay at Poly, and on our AK day, have breakfast at Boma. We drive to Jambo House, valet for free, eat, and take the short bus ride from JH instead of from Poly. Love that discount!
The B rows on Soarin' (2nd row) give the best view of the soarin around the world without any weird rounded edges. :)
I didn’t know about “service your way” how do you go about getting that?
Sarah’s Slime same! Maybe at check in?
ZowieFawn same! Anyone know any more?
Doesn’t exist anymore thanks to that Mandalay Bay shooter in Vegas, 🙁 they wont tell you that at Disney... but housekeeping person HAS to come see your room once a day to “empty your trash “ whether you like it or not.
On tower of terror, if you’re a party of 4 or less, sit in the front row so that there are not hands in your face in your picture!
I tell everyone I'm with only raise your arms if we are in back row...
Short cut tip: You can walk from the Polynesian to the transportation center which can sometimes get you on the monorail to Epcot faster.
Medical Center tip: If you need medicine refrigerated you can bring your med to the medical center and they will keep it cool for you.
tip: if you are an early bird and want to ride flight of passage, go straight to fop at rope drop! my family and i went to disney last year and it took us 1 1/2 hours from our hotel to off the ride! we only waited about 15 minutes for the ride
