I’d love to see a video on Animal Kingdom lodge ! I’d love to know how the transportation to and from the parks for midday breaks is at that resort and how the resort / pool experience for a preschooler compares to other resorts . Thank you for putting out such helpful , fun to watch content !
I love you videos! I’m so sorry your CRT wasn’t less than ideal, anyone would be disappointed in that experience. If it helps, we went there for dinner and had a wonderful experience! Similar to what you described for Akershus. So when your ready to try again, definitely do dinner, the desserts were amazing!
I’m so bummed you didn’t have a great experience at CRT. We absolutely loved it. We went around 11 for an early lunch and had an amazing experience all around. Food was our favorite meal, service was amazing, princesses were fantastic.
I love your info videos and vlogs, it would be sooooo great if you could drop a bit of B-roll in on these videos to help explain, since you obviously have so much content 🤩
I make sure to always add in b-roll to any informative videos ☺️🙌🏼 But sit down Q&A’s are a bit more lax, and I want them to feel more conversational 😉
I love what you said at the end about being a content creator for Disney! I’m a newer Disney travel agent and I feel silly sometimes posting so much or videos. So that was a big confidence booster for me. Plus yes I’d love to see animal kingdom lodge!
Love your honest review about character dining! We had a similar experience at storybook dining our worse character dining experience. Can't wait to hear your full review ❤
I totally agree about Arkershus, I did both in February and even so my experience wasn’t as bad as yours but I did prefer the interactions at Arkershus
We loved our split stays whenever we did them, but when we did 3 resorts that was a BIT much. 😂 Glad to hear you liked your Reefs! I practically live in them.
We’ve done Cinderellas castle for every Disney trip. There’s just something so special and nostalgic about taking my kids inside the castle to eat. We did have the same experience that you did on our last trip. Princesses took forever to get to us.. almost to the point we were about to leave. I’m not sure we are going back to that one! 😔
Girl CRT is absolutely amazing for dinner it’s some of the best food we have every trip we went at 4:30 and it was absolutely perfect. We never go for breakfast, the only breakfast that’s amazing is Topolinos.
Yes would love to see an Animal Kingdom lodge stay (Savannah view!!). We’ve stayed at so many but never there. Thinking it could bring a different type of experience for my kids.
Great Q&A👍🏻😃 Always ❤ your excitement and energy 🥰 Love to see your experience at AK👍🏻😃 Thanks for sharing 🤗 and never be embarrassed to say you are a constant creator ❤
Can’t remember if it was me who asked for the review of the reef sandals but so glad to hear you liked them! Mine just arrived. Also when someone asks what you do you can proudly say you have 20k+ subscribers!! 🥳🥳
I had the opposite experience at the boardwalk with a boardwalk view room. I went with a friend and it was November ‘21 so things were still pretty quiet due to covid. I didn’t like it at all. We’d hear people out playing around and hanging out late on the boardwalk even with the balcony door shut. But the worst was the boat horns! We could hear the horns for all the resorts in the area so it was a horn going off every few minutes. I was feeling twitchy by the end of our trip. I loved the location but I’ll take the beach club over boardwalk anytime.
We also had a disappointing experience at CRT. We went for dinner in early February 2023 before they brought the princesses back to the main dining room, but were supposed to meet Cinderella before our meal downstairs. Just like you, she wasn't there and we had to wait a while after dinner for her to arrive. Overall, we much preferred meeting Snow White at Artist's Point (we found the food better too). Akershus is on our list to try next!
I can’t wait to see the boardwalk room tour! The old rooms were so outdated..but we love that resort/location. Also, I would love to see you stay at animal kingdom lodge! We have been thinking about staying there a lot recently but haven’t done it yet! It’s always one that we throw out the name and then just never book it for some reason
I have to agree with you 100%. We did Askershus last trip and it was by far one of favorites ever. CRT- was good also for us, but we enjoyed Askershus so so much more. The interaction was incredible and food superior
First, I love your non Disney blogs as much as your Disney ones!! And yes, an Animal Kingdom Lodge video would be great! Especially comparing rooms to the Wilderness Lodge. Is the resort so big?? Pools look great, are they??
I would love to see an AKL video! That resorts been on our mind a lot lately. We haven’t stayed there since our daughter’s first birthday a few years ago. We love the resort but ended up really frustrated by the looooooong walk to our room in Kadani among a few other things. BUT we’re thinking about giving Jambo a go! And I couldn’t agree more about Akershus! We had dinner there last week and it was fantastic. All of the princess interactions were top notch, and the service was excellent. It’s the least rushed we’d ever felt at a character dining 👌
I’ve made another change to my trip, at first I was going to stay at Disney’s port Orleans because they didn’t have any value resorts they were all booked, because we we’re definitely last minute with the Disney resorts lol but yesterday I went to go checked to see if any value resorts were available just out of curiosity and thank God it was lol. Originally our plan was to stay at Pop Century and God open that door for us, so we’re staying at that resort. Yes it has low amenities, smaller rooms but we’re gonna be mostly spending a lot of time outdoors and just needed a nice but really affordable resort to stay in, we’re definitely going to explore the hotel because it looks really cool lol. Also definitely I would love to see a budget video from you 🩷
We were at Disney around the same time as you. We did CRT for a 4pm dinner on 2/29. Cinderella was there when we arrived, but we had to wait about 15 minutes to meet her because, like you, there were a few families in front of us who missed out on Cinderella during their lunch time. During dinner we had a great server and he was telling us that they were waiting for some families to leave before bringing out the princesses because they had a line up swap, so if they brought them out before the families left, then the families would stay to meet the new princesses 😬 We saw Merida, Jasmine, Ariel, and Aurora. Merida was probably the best interaction and was great with my 6yo son. One thing that surprised me about CRT and Crystal Palace was only seeing the characters once. At Cape May and Garden Grille, we got to have the characters at our table 3 times each! Both of those meals are amazing for characters, but CRT was definitely rushed. My daughter is 8 so I'm glad we did it, but probably 1 and done.
I’m so bummed to hear about your CRT experience! Would be curious to know what time your reservation was, we went at the very end of breakfast and I wonder if that makes a difference. We missed Cinderella on the way in, but lucked out and when we walked out the line was very short to meet her. I hope you have a better experience next time if you give it another try! Obsessed with your sweatshirt 😍😘
Ah thank you! And maybe if I give it another try I’ll have a different experience 🤪 We had a 10AM reservation, but we were there until the breakfast crowd started clearing out around 11:30AM 🤷🏼♀️
We loved CRT, but your experience at CRT was our experience at Tusker House. We stayed there for 80 minutes and still didn’t meet Mickey and he wasn’t even close to us. But I know others have a great experience there.
You inspired me to do a split stay on my last trip to Boardwalk Inn and Wilderness Lodge- it was amazing!! I’m all about the split stays now! Also we are renting dvc on our next trip (riviera!) for the first time! Love your content 😊
when my partner and i ate at CRT in Jan ‘23, we had a great time! we ate there for lunch, so that maybe have been why it was a different experience? we didn’t get princess interactions, (due to their still standing covid rule at the time?) but we still rated it a 10/10! if you haven’t tried other meals there, highly recommend it :)
It seems I saw that the main pool at CBR is under refurbishment or about to be. I hope the gal that asked about that resort looks into that to verify before booking😊💐
Thank you for answering all the questions. I’m trying to figure out the best place to stay this fall. We are planning on going to Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween party and Epcot. Would you stay on the monorail for convenience or pick a resort for the amenities since we will be spending more day time at the resort vs the parks? Which resort would you stay at?
Agree akershush interactions are better. But we did enjoy CRT. Best advise get first reservation we were first people in park and restaurant we didn’t get rushed as a result. But again akershush was great overall
I was shocked at the CRT price! I have had it on my list to try but the dinner price for one person was over $100. I had to do a double take to see if I added multiple people or did something crazy. Needless to say, did not end up booking
Good morning. My husband and I are celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary in May. 52 days to go!! Do you know how the crowds are? My husband thinks they will be lighter because we will be there after spring break and before Memorial Day.
That stinks about CRT! Bc I honestly think you got dealt a crappy hand. I loved it, yes there’s better food elsewhere but Cinderella visit was normal, saw 5 princesses inside. I’ve been multiple times. So it can be really good
Hey bekah from one Disney lover to another unfortunately dinner at Cindy’s castle isn’t any better but actually worse very busy and very rushed I’ve done breakfast lunch and dinner and it was a let down especially considering the cost only thing that’s worth it is the ambience 🩵
So maybe random question but your sweatshirt - is it women’s size or unisex? I found a pre-loved one I want to buy but I’m so confused about the sizing in the listing 🤣🤣.
Quick question do you still use DVC? Our family just booked through the DVC store because of watching your videos on DVC renting we got the Beach Club because of your past Beach Club video.
Goodness, I am very surprised that they took you to princess fairytale hall. Some Children would say "there are two Cinderella's?" That would ruin the magic, and his extremely backstage and not on stage. I don't know what is happening at Disney but somethings wrong. Thanks for all the information!
I also wanted to say that I LOVE your non-Disney content like home vlogs and what I eat in a. day! I would love to see more of those!
Me too!
Yes to a cost breakdown video.
Yes!
I started watching your videos looking for disney content but I actually really enjoy your home vlogs too!
Yes please with AK Lodge! It’s one of our bucket list stays. I’d love to know from a family point of view. Great video!!
I’d love to see a video on Animal Kingdom lodge ! I’d love to know how the transportation to and from the parks for midday breaks is at that resort and how the resort / pool experience for a preschooler compares to other resorts . Thank you for putting out such helpful , fun to watch content !
I really enjoy your non Disney vlogs as much as I enjoy your Disney ones! Your positive and calm vibes are fab ❤️
I can’t wait to see the Boardwalk video. We are staying there next month. It’s our first time staying deluxe and I can’t wait!!
I’m excited to share! ☺️
I love you videos! I’m so sorry your CRT wasn’t less than ideal, anyone would be disappointed in that experience. If it helps, we went there for dinner and had a wonderful experience!

Yes to AK Lodge review! It’s on our list for our next trip!
Yes for AKL! We stayed at kidani with a savanna view and loved it! My daughter was 6 and loved the animals and the pool area.

Thank you for the honest review of Cinderella’s table. I was thinking about it. Definitely will stick with trying to get a reservation at Topolinos!
Would love a Disney budget video!
Just included this segment in today’s Disney prep video 😍
Yay! Checking it out now! Thank you!
I would love to see a cost breakdown and a budget video.
I totally agree about Arkershus, I did both in February and even so my experience wasn’t as bad as yours but I did prefer the interactions at Arkershus
Thank you for this excellent review especially with Cinderella's breakfast. You explain things perfectly which help in planning future activities.
We loved our split stays whenever we did them, but when we did 3 resorts that was a BIT much. 😂 Glad to hear you liked your Reefs! I practically live in them.
I’m not sure I’ll do 3 resorts in one trips again 😂 I think I learned that 2 is my personal max lol. And yes! Loooove my Reefs!
Love to hear about Boardwalk. We are staying there in June too. Can’t wait.
We’ve done Cinderellas castle for every Disney trip. There’s just something so special and nostalgic about taking my kids inside the castle to eat. We did have the same experience that you did on our last trip. Princesses took forever to get to us.. almost to the point we were about to leave. I’m not sure we are going back to that one! 😔
Love split stays just became AP in January it’s so much fun to split monorail and skyliner/boardwalk next days.
Girl CRT is absolutely amazing for dinner it’s some of the best food we have every trip we went at 4:30 and it was absolutely perfect. We never go for breakfast, the only breakfast that’s amazing is Topolinos.

I agree with you about quick arrival times for Coronado Springs. On my recent trip the wait times were low.
Great Q&A👍🏻😃 Always ❤ your excitement and energy 🥰 Love to see your experience at AK👍🏻😃 Thanks for sharing 🤗 and never be embarrassed to say you are a constant creator ❤
Thank you!!! ❤️
Love the q&a's you put out! And so happy you are back to enjoying going. Maybe time to branch out like Ashley and do some cruise content soon 😉
love akrushus and i love the dinner at cinderella dinner at the castle you will love it it was awsome love the shirt

Really love hearing your trip recaps and these Q&As - thank you so much for taking the time to do these!
Absolutely! ☺️
Fantastic video as usual! I’d LOVE to hear about AKL from a preschool mom point of view!
Thank you! I’d love to experience AKL from that perspective! ☺️
First, I love your non Disney blogs as much as your Disney ones!! And yes, an Animal Kingdom Lodge video would be great! Especially comparing rooms to the Wilderness Lodge. Is the resort so big?? Pools look great, are they??

@@BekahHart I see a comparison video being VERY helpful to a lot of people. That’s a great idea.

And thank you so much!
Thank you for another helpful video 🙏

Yes please do an AKL stay! We're staying in August and need allll the helpful info! Especially about the bus transportation.
So exciting! I would love to do an AKL stay soon! ☺️

I love animal kingdom lodge one of my favorites
Hopefully I can do a stay there soon! ☺️
What a shame about CRT. We have done some character dining but never with princesses. Thanks for the tip. Good to know Akershus is the way to go!
Definitely disappointing 🥲 But 100% recommend Akershus! 🙌🏼❤️
Would you ever consider the French Quarter or Art of Animation family suite? I know you favor deluxe, but please think about it👍😊💐
Yes do animal kingdom lodge!! This was a good video!! ❤
It seems I saw that the main pool at CBR is under refurbishment or about to be. I hope the gal that asked about that resort looks into that to verify before booking😊💐
The CBR pool refurbishment began last year and ends this month ☺️🙌🏼

Loved your input about CRT. Off topic question where can I find your sweatshirt?
It’s from the parks about 5 years ago 🥲 But you can sometimes find it on resale sites like Poshmark!
where’d you get your sweatshirt?!? it’s so cute! love your videos 🫶
Thank you! It’s from the parks about 5 years ago 🥲❤️
Yes to $ break out

Yes to Animal Kingdom! 🎉

Do you have any trips to Disneyland planned? That’s my home park and would love to see what you think of it and the difference to WDW
Not currently ☺️ But I do have a Disneyland vlog series from 2 years ago!
What eyeshadow are you wearing in this video?
I’m actually using my bronzer and a highlighter as eyeshadow ☺️
Thank you for your update! Off topic, but where did you get your end tables?
They’re from Target ☺️
Which other Disney resorts have club level?

I use DVC Rental Store for most of my Disney trips ☺️
I've heard a lot of people say Cindy's wasn't worth it. We've never been but I will say that Akersheuse is it on a stick! Sorry, I misspelled it😂
Goodness, I am very surprised that they took you to princess fairytale hall. Some Children would say "there are two Cinderella's?" That would ruin the magic, and his extremely backstage and not on stage. I don't know what is happening at Disney but somethings wrong. Thanks for all the information!
Ellie asked that very question! She was so confused. It definitely took away from the magic of meeting Cinderella in her castle 😕
The Royal Table is NOT worth it at all IMO. They rush you and the food is not that great.
