This is one of my favorite RUclips channels, and I don't even plan on going to Disney any time soon. Hearing you talk about Disney in a cheerful voice just makes me happy. I watch every day.
@@SonicApproves we watched for I think 2 years before be finally got to go… sooo helpful… now I watch to not only see things I’ve seen at the parks but for more stuff I hope to try for whenever next time is.
AJ has a very calming voice. I was on a 20 hour labor and played every DFB videos…even after the C-section, I played the videos. On bad days, I play the videos too. Very calming to watch. ❤❤❤
I don’t mind the cost. I DO mind the fact that I have to take the equivalent of a university course to figure out the app, genie, lightning lane, virtual queue nonsense. When is Disney going to wake up and do it the way Universal does?! It’s so easy there! Stay at a $$$hotel, get the unlimited fast pass which was just a lanyard and go on rides with short lines whenever you want. Yes it’s expensive but it’s easy. It feels like a vacation, not a school/work project.
Thanks for sharing, AJ and DFB Team! Heading to Disney in a few weeks and the videos are getting me so pumped for the trip! Your guys' videos are so informative and entertaining!! 😊
Thank you for updating us about the apps. There is much to learn about them, before we visit the parks. We also cant wait for the character dining experience, again. The little comment you mentioned about the character dining was funny, too! too cute! It's always a delight to catch your super informative and enjoyable videos! Have a magical week! 💖💖
AJ and DFB team I always look forward to your videos to stay updated with WDW updates and news, definitely makes me miss Disney and wish I could be there all the time! Thanks for bringing us a piece of Disney each week! (Side note: please know I mean well, sometimes the background music is too loud and hard to hear AJ and or focus on what she’s saying, I hope I’m not the only one that sometimes has a hard time that this😅)
Had a blast thanks largely to your advice. My biggest mistakes were 1) Going to animal kingdom on a rainy day(unavoidable in my case). I had expedition Everest close right in front of me while waiting for my party after I'd paid for genie+ just to ensure I'd get the ride in after we didn't get out of the avatar gift shop until 11 2) Booking slinky dog first cause lightning lane wasnt available until 4. Because of that reservation i wasn't able to use genie+ on shortish lines and immediately book my next after riding. Then slinky just ended up getting rained out. I only ended up getting on 2 rides using genie+ cause another of my selections broke down and it just canceled the reservation rather than rescheduling and at that point i was basically at the two hour window since booking Biggest frustration was waiting an hour and a half for tron when it's a virtual queue. Why's disney gotta be so allergic to freeing people up to watch shows or visit gift shops? Why do you want to call people just to lock their time up in a line? It might take from some of the magic but disney should lean further into the app. Guests should be encouraged to hit shows and unpopular rides to be awarded lightning lanes as a standard genie feature. Genie+ should be a premium feature not a basic requirement to keep the peace and prevent people from falling off out in the heat
Just returned from a 10 day vacation to WDW. Love this channel and am still watching even though the trip is over! The Disney Genie and Genie+ were total and complete game changers for us. We paid a little extra each day to book return times for each ride. Totally worth every penny. The longest line we went on the entire trip was about 30 minutes. Rode on Tron twice. My days of sitting in line for 1-2 hours are over!
My husband and I went to WDW for our honeymoon in 1995. I am still amazed at the cost we paid. We stayed 7 nights at Wilderness Lodge. Our package included park hoppers plus water park. We had the old fashioned Food and Fun Card that allowed us to eat at the wonderful restaurants. It also included bicycles, pontoon boats, etc. Total Cost.....$1600. Can you imagine? I think that Disney should have special anniversary pricing for couples that honeymooned at Disney. They could turn the clock backwards and you pay the same price that you did. It would only be available for 25th, 30th, 40th, and 50th anniversairies. I would have loved to visit Disney for our 25th. (If the price was the same.)
I mean they will never go back to the old prices. But yeah, as a european. the prices are rly high xD. Its shocking. Like 1 Week Disneyworld costs round about the same as 3 weeks japan holiday (excluding flights for both). I want to go there for our 10th anniversary with our kid, and I am currently planning, how long, where to stay and so on ^^. Anyway. If you can afford it, i would try to repeat the past memories !.
Thank you for another segment of excellent, informative information.I agree with you about the "value resorts". Pop Century is our 2nd home. The staff is wonderful there.I would rather spend the extra money on making memories in the magical parks, and souvenirs. HUGE like, my friend!💖💖
I’m going the weekend before Christmas so it’s going to be packed but I wanna see it during the holiday and I’ll have just left a cruise so I’ll be in the area.
Did you know it’s possible to do a day-trip to Disney World? I do it all the time. I’m leaving from California on Wednesday, flying in on Thursday morning to visit 2 parks…and fly back the same day. $147 for the flight. It’s totally possible!
In regards to parking, if the normal parking is free for resort guests then does that mean the preferred parking is half the price? It’s usually $40 for non resort guests
I’m gonna take notes on this because we are going to Disney world in October of this year for the mickeys not so scary Halloween party and there’s so much do to in 3 days an I’ve no idea if I’ll be able to do everything in 3 days. 😅
We going to Disney world for 8 days we have a combo ticket with universal studios. Our hotel is not a Disney hotel. Our hotel is 19 minute drive from the park. We are going to Disney with the car, and park it there. Now is my question: if we are there can we switch from park to park with the Disney transportation for free? We are not resort guests... Is het also possible for make a reservation with the app for a restaurant if we not stay in a resort from Disney?
At 7:11 she mentions the free cards for your tickets. Does anyone know if they can be picked up if you purchased tickets from a 3rd party seller such as UndercoverTourist that issues etickets?
Why doesn’t the Disney World website doesn’t make a video this clear? I felt like I was trying to figure out the damn arrow of time on their web guide lol
Regarding Advanced Dining Reservations: AJ mentioned on a previous video that Disney resort guests can book 65 days out. Is that accurate? That was the first we'd heard about that perk.
I juste bought tickets for 5 day 4 Park and i tried to reserved for those day in our march 2024 visite to Disney but i couldn’t do it does someone know why?
for disney vacation package. resort and tickets i was told by disney customer service. if u need to cancel even up to the day before arrival. u call and modify the reservation to 31+ days away from the day you call then u can cancel and get money returned. can anyone confirm this?
AJ, you can only go to TEN Disney World restaurants for the rest of your life, including parks, hotels, and Disney Springs, but everything at them is always free to you and your entire family and team, which ten do you choose? (At least one per park and at least one at Disney Springs is highly recommended, but not required). (Note: Once one is selected, you can go to any meal there.)
God bless anyone that can afford $1000 a night for a Disney trip…. Meanwhile I stayed in a 3000 square-foot rental home with an indoor pool for $150 a night 15 minutes away…
They only mostly talk about the apps making it sound so complicated and not what's on Disney world like what are the rides like or explain what attractions to expect. Instead most of the volg talks about the app blah blah blah making a trip there unappealing
AJ, you mentioned Good Neighbor Hotel Options but you never bring up Shades of Green for Military Families. This is a deluxe Disney resort and you're not doing your viewers a favor by leaving it out of your videos.
I guess you could optimise all three issues by bringing food, wearing subtle detachable skate shoes, wearing a wetsuit while going when it's cold and wet, and only getting an entry ticket.
This is one of my favorite RUclips channels, and I don't even plan on going to Disney any time soon. Hearing you talk about Disney in a cheerful voice just makes me happy. I watch every day.
I agree! It was so helpful when we were going but also I keep watching now to feel like im there.

I’m glad I’m not the only one. No plans anytime soon and it’s been since Christmas 2011 when i went with my family
Ditto! Although the more we watch, the closer we get to booking the next visit. It brings the magic home.
I don’t mind the cost. I DO mind the fact that I have to take the equivalent of a university course to figure out the app, genie, lightning lane, virtual queue nonsense.

4 more weeks! 4 more weeks!
Thank you AJ and DFB for the valuable information every day to make this trip exciting and easier to navagate.
Enjoy!

What hotel did you stay in?
@@keishasellsdallas Port Orleans Riverside. We loved it. So beautiful.
@@travelertrome8449 was it a Disney resort? I'm trying to understand things now so I can start planning for a family of 5. This is so overwhelming

Can you please do a vid about stuff that someone needs to do or stuff available if you have a disability/wheelchair bound?
Great video and great video idea. Could really help the planner of the group when trying to talk with other people in the group! Way to go AJ
Today is the first day that the 50th is over... I'm soooooooooo sad! The castle was beautiful and all of the food was so good!
We really loved all the 50th celebration stuff!
enjoy it while you can because everything you see will be gone if De Santis win his way.
A new disneyland will rise on my parts on....
Leaving on Sunday! I just like watching videos about the places I’m taking a vacation to, so thank you!
how was it?

Can't wait to visit Walt Disney World this summer! We bought 7 day Park Hopper Plus!
My kids are so excited while im dreading this trip. 😅
Just booked my first visit to Disney World, and I’m so excited! August can’t get here soon enough!
Have a magical trip! ❤
becareful it might be a trap by De Santis otherwise you might become one of the Rioters.
I’m going the weekend before Christmas so it’s going to be packed but I wanna see it during the holiday and I’ll have just left a cruise so I’ll be in the area.
What was the channel you recommended for the ride pov's?
Very helpful and informative as always. Thanks AJ!
Totally agree ❤
This is great and helpful. Can you do this break down for Disneyland now?
Did you know it’s possible to do a day-trip to Disney World? I do it all the time.
I’m leaving from California on Wednesday, flying in on Thursday morning to visit 2 parks…and fly back the same day. $147 for the flight. It’s totally possible!
yowser, that is wild!
Wow! Have a magical trip
What airline? That’s a deal
be binging this channel ever since I came back from my senior trip. love your channel!!!!
I remember going once a year since 2006 to Disney world, everything used to be so fast and simple
I came here to find out about the PARKS!! And I got no knowledge of them... Smh. What's Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Animal Kingdom, etc.
In regards to parking, if the normal parking is free for resort guests then does that mean the preferred parking is half the price? It’s usually $40 for non resort guests
what a thrill ,goosebumps for a kid to wait an hour at least for one ride....
usually 20-30min which is still terrible. pick a lucky day and it might be 0-2min.
I’m gonna take notes on this because we are going to Disney world in October of this year for the mickeys not so scary Halloween party and there’s so much do to in 3 days an I’ve no idea if I’ll be able to do everything in 3 days. 😅
I read that Animal Kingdom Lodge - Kidani is undergoing a several month refurbishment. Can you include details on that in a future video?
I am in Texas. My birthday is August 16 and I leave tomorrow at 5 AM.🎉
Do you need to make a reservation for the water parks?
Very nice and interesting video ...thanks for sharing
Is Cape May cafe still open? Nobody talks about it anymore!

Can you tell me the answers of what you asked here, that’s what I wanna know too
Thanks for sharing,I’m so excited
You always suprise me thanks AJ
Thx I’m going to Disney this summer
Really liked the section on Buying Theme Parks. Using my retirement fund I can buy roughly 1/20 of a theme park...👊
😂😂😂
At 7:11 she mentions the free cards for your tickets. Does anyone know if they can be picked up if you purchased tickets from a 3rd party seller such as UndercoverTourist that issues etickets?
Yepp you’ll get one for each guest with a park ticket. You can get it at any guest relations in front of any park 👍
@@csarsprza thanks!
Thanks soooo much for this! So helpful!
Why doesn’t the Disney World website doesn’t make a video this clear? I felt like I was trying to figure out the damn arrow of time on their web guide lol
Can you do one just like this for Universal, please!
All ears covers Universal
This is a fantastic summary!
I plan on going in October.
Regarding Advanced Dining Reservations: AJ mentioned on a previous video that Disney resort guests can book 65 days out. Is that accurate? That was the first we'd heard about that perk.
I believe it is actually 60 days out.
This was really helpful!

Love it. Thank you!
Great information thank you 😁

This place is in my bucket list...... Coming in 2025❤❤❤
What is the best time to visit the park?
God bless anyone that can afford $1000 a night for a Disney trip….
Meanwhile I stayed in a 3000 square-foot rental home with an indoor pool for $150 a night 15 minutes away…
Can I have the information . Thank you

Going in a few days
Going to Disney World is stressful I didn’t know you can’t go to the park two times not really the happiest place on earth
Going in 6 days!!!

I got stressed just by thinking about all these details lol I might never go to Disney world for this reason lol
Awesome video. Can you do an updated guide to Vegan food.

AJ, you mentioned Good Neighbor Hotel Options but you never bring up Shades of Green for Military Families. This is a deluxe Disney resort and you're not doing your viewers a favor by leaving it out of your videos.
Overpriced, crowded, mediocre food, long lines in the hot sun. Ya, fun.
I guess you could optimise all three issues by bringing food, wearing subtle detachable skate shoes, wearing a wetsuit while going when it's cold and wet, and only getting an entry ticket.
Disney is WORSE! place close it forever.
I ain't getting a app for a REAL LIFE experience
actually its 15.48 minutes, so sorry to say you didn´t QUITE make it (just saying)
It's unaffordable. And it is not safe for children.
Top much hassle to go.
That place is sad
it will be even sadder by De Santis
Objection: this video is 15:48
Just baloney no useful info
I got motion sickness watching this video 🤢 🤮
I an do this video in 5 seconds - DON'T GO THERE.
Why not?
BEWARE: MAGIC is OCCULT prohibited by God.
what is magic, why is it prohibited, and how do you know the prohibition is Holy?
Disney is escapism.
