I am impressed with how well behaved and polite James & Benjamin are. Good parenting. I also appreciate your videos as you stick with what families can really afford. That is so helpful for planning. I'm happy for you and your family, that this was a nice memory to last a lifetime.
Your videos helped so much with our Disneyland trip in May. Now we have a Disney World Trip planned for next year before our cruise to make our $3800 flights worth while 😆. Thanks for all you do! It’s a huge help
I am from the east coast and my first time going to California I did not know realize how chilly it gets in the evenings. So I love that you brought that up. Also I love your videos.
O.k. I take back my answer from the post when you asked how long of a video would I watch. I said 30 min max - I will definitely watch this all day! Very good editing and commentary, I'm excited for the other videos you have coming ❤
I have been trying to talk my son into flying on a plane for so long. After watching this video together, he's finally warming up to the idea of flying! Looks like fun!
Been lurking on your channel for a while now, wanted to say thanks for the great content. Never went to any Disney Park growing up until I met my wife and went right before I got out of the military. 2 kids later and I just always want to go back. Your content definitely helps me plan out a better and more fun filled trip for my 7 and 1 year old. Looking forward to watching your trip to Disney World and for the next one to Disneyland!
Curious how you liked Pop Century? It's our go to value resort. The skyliner is a huge bonus. I always love the travel to Disney day... it's arguably the best day because you have your whole trip ahead of you and excitement is at its peak! Can't wait to watch more!
Hi Everyone. I’m starting an Orlando channel on everything to do in Orlando. Disney, Universal, Sea World, Ways to save money etc. I’m taking requests for videos if there is anything people want to see. Please reply here and I will share the channel in a week or so. Thank you.
It's a pet peeve of mine to prepare well in advance for arrangements and get assurances that it will be the way I've asked for, only to arrive and be pre-empted by whatever situation caused the mix up. I try not to let things like that bother me, and I don't take it out on the staff but it's frustrating and the experiences seem to be happening more often these last several years. All you can really do is take it in stride and not let it ruin your trip...but I certainly mark those things and then stay away in the future.
I’d probably be more hesitant about it if we had a layover, and if I didn’t already have bags to collect. But this basically let me get away with a suitcase being checked for free. So the early boarding was an added perk.
Travel day is one of my favorites. Because everyone is super excited. And the trip is just starting. Love that you're staying in 3 resorts. I did that when I went to San Diego. I'm looking forward to all the upcoming vlogs.
We didn’t. We forgot them. But Grandma hadn’t left yet, so we had her grab them and bring them. But it was too late for Hollywood Studios by then. He wore them for a day maybe, and then decided not to wear them because it was too hot.
Yay!! Love Disney World videos and so excited for the rest! Are you uploading Wednesday and Friday or is the rest of this week different as well? Looking forward to the videos either way!
There will be one tomorrow for sure. If I can get a Disneyland reservation for Thursday, then Friday will be June’s construction update. If I can’t get in until Friday (my current reservation), then Friday will be another WDW vlog and Saturday will be the construction update.
We’ve talked about doing a cruise at some point. But we are having troubles with our schedule as it is. 😅 We desperately want to go back to Hawaii. Are talking about doing DL Paris next year for our first international park. Then the year after is our 15th anniversary and we wouldn’t mind doing Tokyo without the kids for that trip. But that leaves Hawaii not until 2027. And WDW again not until 2028. Which seems like a long time to push both of those off. Especially considering Epic Universe opens next year. So to try to add a cruise in, I’m not sure how we’d figure that out. Unless RUclips suddenly skyrockets for us and we can afford a second trip per year. But we’d definitely love to do one. It’s just in the “maybe eventually” category.
I havent been to any Disneyland yet but the OG is first in my eyes! - but I've been watching other videos too. It will be so exciting for your family to go to an international Disney Park 😃👏 they are all so great in different ways!
I noticed you film with no pop socket! maybe look into one? very inexpensive and not so big like a tripod but still less work than just holding the phone! 👍
I generally use a mini-tripod, but I didn't feel like carrying it around all day so I went sans-support for this trip. It didn't bother me. But when I'm at Disneyland, my phone is in clamped into the tripod about 90% of the time.
We should be having a live stream in about a week. I need to formally announce it. But the live streams tend to be opportunities for more personal questions. Though we could definitely try to do a more formal video about it, too, at some point. In the “Let’s Chat” format.
After finishing this trip, I’d stay at Pop Century again over Caribbean Beach. That alone saves $100-$150/night on average. I’d probably also forgo the rental car. That was $550 we didn’t “need” to spend. It was useful for all the transferring we did throughout the trip, but nothing Ubers couldn’t have taken care of for less. Keep an eye out for Disney Visa cardholder discounts. It was useful at wayyy more places than we were expecting. That 10% discount is like having an annual pass. We also at sit-down meals at lunch some of the times because the lunch prices were cheaper for the same food at a few restaurants. So look at menus before booking. I’m sure there are more tips, but that’s off the top of my head. Maybe I’ll make a WDW money saving tips video!
Great video as usual. It was short, but I still enjoyed it. In your opinion what time of the year is best to visit WDW? We were originally going to come over after spring break and do Disneyland and WDW, but are now thinking later in the year so we can go to new Epic universe. Would like your thoughts?
Sadly i dont think i will see traver at disneyland if he is at wdw rn :( but that doesnt mean he hasnt helped me throughout the journey, we leave tommorow!!
We got back on Saturday. We currently have reservations for Disneyland this Friday. But I’m trying to switch them to Thursday. If some become available, I’ll make the switch. But we will be there one of those two days.
@@SoCalDisneyDad just finished the trip and it was awesome! The last time i had gone was in 2018 so there were lots of new rides but lots of good old ones. ROTR was really cool but we waited till 11pm for them to tell us they were done for the night. Mickey and Minnie's was cool, definitely a new experience. Incredicoaster was a classic that used to be my favorite ride, however for 2 days ride audio wasnt working which really numbed the experience. Good thing it started working the last 2 days. My personal favorite was GOTG mission breakout, it was such a fun experience. I used to hate this ride when I was younger, but I love it now. I rode it a total of 5 times, and stayed after park closure for one of the days just to ride it. Hearing everyone (including my mom) scream was hilarious as I had my hands up the whole time. The music was amazing and I loved it. Especially after dark when the whole gantry lift was just like a big family! Thats enough of me talking, I hope you enjoyed your wdw trip, bye!

Exactly! Normal people like us planning a trip to Disney. That’s why I love his videos and have been following him for a while now.

We do dinner for breakfast all the time! Love it!
Favotite thing to do at Disney Springs is the Aquacar ride. I hope that the drone show becomes a permanent part of the DS nightlife.
We love Pop Century! Looks like you guys had a fun trip and looking forward to seeing this series!!
O.k. I take back my answer from the post when you asked how long of a video would I watch. I said 30 min max - I will definitely watch this all day! Very good editing and commentary, I'm excited for the other videos you have coming ❤
Thank you for taking us along with you! Living vicariously through you guys 😄🤗
So exciting! Nothing like the first day of a Disney vacation! I hope you guys have an awesome time, and can't wait for the next video!
I know!! First day and travel day truly get you so pumped up!!!
Reliving our January trip through you. Enjoy.
I don’t really watch Disney world content.. but I love your channel and your family is so fun!
Maybe our videos will inspire you to take a trip to WDW someday.
Thank you for the video

Yes yes yes... the anticipation is real !
Time to watch...here we go
Amazing video ❤
Love Pop Century! Can’t wait to see all of the videos in this series.
Looks like a great travel and arrival day. Makes me miss Pop! And WDW in general!
We LOVE Pop!! We were there 3 weeks ago and miss it so much.
2:06 love early boarding 🔥🔥🔥 people hate having to wait for thier bags but , it’s not even that bad 🤣🤣
I’d probably be more hesitant about it if we had a layover, and if I didn’t already have bags to collect. But this basically let me get away with a suitcase being checked for free. So the early boarding was an added perk.
Can’t wait to see all the Disney World videos!!!
Great video of your first day vacation-Looking forward to many more!!👍👍
Travel day is one of my favorites. Because everyone is super excited. And the trip is just starting. Love that you're staying in 3 resorts. I did that when I went to San Diego. I'm looking forward to all the upcoming vlogs.
Three was fun to get to try new places, but it was definitely a lot of moving around and I’m not sure I’d want to do it again.
Love watching this! Hope you two and the kids had a blast can’t wait to see what else you get up to!
Been once, during COVID. Stayed at Art of Animation. We loved that hotel, basic but we loved having access to the Skyway.
Love watching your family vacations. Never been to Disney World but I feel like I have.💙
Have a magical vacation!
Looking forward to the rest of your trip! Also, did you guys pack James’ slinky ears? Always fun to see them 😂
We didn’t. We forgot them. But Grandma hadn’t left yet, so we had her grab them and bring them. But it was too late for Hollywood Studios by then.
He wore them for a day maybe, and then decided not to wear them because it was too hot.
You're at my favorite Disney resort of all time
😊😊😊
I booked a week at Pop Century for January 2025- so happy to see your vlog- too long to wait until January. Lol. Have a great trip! 🎉😊
Definitely live vicariously through Disney channels like these until your trip 😃 and counting in weeks makes it sound smaller than days 😁
Have fun! Us Californians are going to miss you!
We are back now! Returned on Saturday. We were gone from the 16th to the 25th.
been waiting to see your trip
Yay!! Love Disney World videos and so excited for the rest! Are you uploading Wednesday and Friday or is the rest of this week different as well? Looking forward to the videos either way!

Omg the Gideon cookies look sooooo goood ! Do they have anything remotely similar at DL or DCA ?
Nope. Not even close. Or I would weigh about 100 lbs more than I do. 😅
@SoCalDisneyDad hahahaha sweet tooth here too. 😋
Love your Disney vacation videos every year! Would you guys ever plan on doing a Disney cruise as your annual vacation?
We’ve talked about doing a cruise at some point. But we are having troubles with our schedule as it is. 😅
We desperately want to go back to Hawaii. Are talking about doing DL Paris next year for our first international park. Then the year after is our 15th anniversary and we wouldn’t mind doing Tokyo without the kids for that trip.

I love Chicken Guy! My kids do not.
Love your content! Would you and Amy do a video about “getting to know us” ? Would be so fun!

Is Disney springs like downtown Disney?
Yes. But much much bigger. Disney Springs has many more restaurants and stores.
You have an amazing advice money saving on candy cane. Is there any advice of saving money for Disney world? 😊
After finishing this trip, I’d stay at Pop Century again over Caribbean Beach. That alone saves $100-$150/night on average.
I’d probably also forgo the rental car. That was $550 we didn’t “need” to spend. It was useful for all the transferring we did throughout the trip, but nothing Ubers couldn’t have taken care of for less.

Maybe I’ll make a WDW money saving tips video!
@@SoCalDisneyDad thank you sooo much!! Please do a video WDW savings
Great video as usual. It was short, but I still enjoyed it. In your opinion what time of the year is best to visit WDW? We were originally going to come over after spring break and do Disneyland and WDW, but are now thinking later in the year so we can go to new Epic universe. Would like your thoughts?
I would definitely hold off for Epic Universe, but just be aware it’ll be packed I’m sure. But I’d want to see it, so that’s probably what I’d do.
@@SoCalDisneyDad Thanks, that’s what I was thinking. Probably won’t get on many(if any)rides but just to see it will be great.
How do parking fees work out with a rental car?
Parking is free at WDW hotels and Disney parks for hotel guests. But we had to pay $50/night at Universal (2 nights).
How much does parking cost at the parks?
We are not actually sure. It’s free for onsite resort guests so we didn’t pay any extra for parking each day.
Sadly i dont think i will see traver at disneyland if he is at wdw rn :( but that doesnt mean he hasnt helped me throughout the journey, we leave tommorow!!
We got back on Saturday.
We currently have reservations for Disneyland this Friday. But I’m trying to switch them to Thursday. If some become available, I’ll make the switch. But we will be there one of those two days.
@@SoCalDisneyDad just finished the trip and it was awesome! The last time i had gone was in 2018 so there were lots of new rides but lots of good old ones. ROTR was really cool but we waited till 11pm for them to tell us they were done for the night. Mickey and Minnie's was cool, definitely a new experience. Incredicoaster was a classic that used to be my favorite ride, however for 2 days ride audio wasnt working which really numbed the experience. Good thing it started working the last 2 days. My personal favorite was GOTG mission breakout, it was such a fun experience. I used to hate this ride when I was younger, but I love it now.

Come on now. You must not know what to order. Because we go to Walt Disney World all the time and they have the spice.
