      What day and month did you visit Epcot?

      We’ve visited a lot of different times. The lowest crowd times we’ve gone are mid February and early September

    Epcot IS my favorite park. Love, love, love it! The joy I get by stepping into that park is unreal. The colors, the experiences! And going on guardians was the best moment of my life-I literally was crying by the end of the ride because I loved it so much. 😂 I sat next to a random guy (lol) and he wasn’t even judging me because he was clapping and screaming, too! Haha!! Thanks for all the wonderful tips, I’m listening to this on my speaker while cleaning my room-like a podcast. 😍😊

      Epcot is SO special! I love everything about it too--totally agree with you! Guardians is unbelievable! It blew my mind--nothing like it! Thank you so much for watching!

      Question, can we see the princesses and characters there too?

    • @whatifdisneyworld
      @whatifdisneyworld  Год назад +1

      @@Garlob91 Yes! Epcot is a great place for character meet and greets! Anna and Elsa are in Norway consistently but the other princesses appear throughout the day in the World Showcase countries (like Snow White in Germany, Aurora and Belle in France, Jasmine in Morocco, etc). The times they appear are listed in the My Disney Experience app. Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Pluto, Goofy, Vanellope, Wreck in Ralph, Joy, etc are also in Epcot!

    This was so helpful! We are planning our 2024 trip and including Epcot (the one park we haven't done). Epcot feels so overwhelming with the distance and have 3 kids 12 and under. This is exactly the type of planning I needed since we are early morning risers. Thank you :)

    • @whatifdisneyworld
      @whatifdisneyworld  Год назад

      I’m so glad you found it helpful! I have a strong suspicion that Guardians might be standby queue by 2024 so that might change the plan (or you could probably still just buy the Individual Lightning Lane for it!). The distance definitely makes Epcot more challenging but with a plan, it’s easy to navigate! I hope you have a great trip!

    Guardians truly blew me away! I find myself at a loss for words when I try to describe the ride to friends/family! Worth the extra $$!
    We love EPCOT, especially to spend all day there! I love to grab a coffee and just sit and take in the sights and sounds! 😌

    • @whatifdisneyworld

    Great tips!! Epcot is my absolute favorite park. Definitely love stopping at Kringala bakery after Frozen. I’ve never tried the Viking coffee before, yum! Greg loves the school bread and it’s a must for him. We like to save room to eat around the world too haha! It’s our favorite part. I’ve never spent much time at the Canadian pavillion since I’m from canada, but I really should check it out more haha. Oh I looove the Remy ride and then want to try the ice cream sandwich in France! Yum. That tiramisu looks amazing, we are huge tiramisu fans. The gingerbread sandwich in Germany sounds delicious. Awesome tips and great video! Thanks for sharing 😊💜

    It seems like the key to making the most out of a Hollywood Studios day is to get there as early as possible. We always forget how many great character meet and greets there are at this park too! Thanks for all the great tips!

    • @whatifdisneyworld
      @whatifdisneyworld  Год назад +1

      For sure early entry is key for us! I know a lot of people report great success with stacking lightning lanes as well.

    Even though I have been going to WDW for 20 years now, I really found this video helpful, in part because I haven't been there since Genie+ debuted. I see you have one for Animal Kingdom, but I could not find one for Hollywood Studios. Is there a "Perfect Day at HS" or is one in the works? Any idea when it may drop? Thanks!

    • @whatifdisneyworld
      @whatifdisneyworld  Год назад

      Thank you! I’m glad to hear it was helpful! I always enjoy hearing how others navigate the parks and always learn something from others! We are planning to record HS and MK! HS should drop in the next 2-3 weeks!

    • @whatifdisneyworld
      @whatifdisneyworld  Год назад

      @@schaefman oh bummer! We are usually a day late and a dollar short. Haha. I will say we definitely recommended for HS. The wait times there get insane! Slinky Dog will sell out the fastest for that and even if you are on right at 7am, your return time might be rather late. Other good first options for Genie+ are: Millennium falcon, Mickey Minnie Runaway railway, Rock-n-rollercoaster, or Tower of Terror. Will you be staying on Disney property and using early entry? Not trying to pry, but if you are I'll let you know our early entry strategy!

  • @thedisneygeeks5704
    @thedisneygeeks5704 Год назад

    Question for you, how do you get "both" Test Track and Frozen in with Rider Swap and with stopping for coffee? I'm confused you only have 30 minutes for early entry.

    • @whatifdisneyworld
      @whatifdisneyworld  Год назад

      The coffee we get at Connection while we are lined up waiting before early entry or we wait until after Frozen and get the Viking coffee. Test track is only a 5 min ride (10 min total with the preshow) so if you are at the front of the early entry pack, we have just walked on with no wait and then the second person goes through lightning lane and it’s quick too. Then there is still about 10 min left of early entry to head up to Norway and we all ride Frozen together and don’t need rider switch for that! Then the park will be opening around the time you ride Frozen but you will have likely beaten the crowd. Again, this is a perfect day and has worked for us in the past but if a sanfu happens, might be thrown off track a bit. 😊

    Hi. I’m going to Epcot in 3 days with my 5 year old daughter. Is it good for kids her age? Or should I I try animal kingdom? Obviously we’re also doing a day in magic kingdom.

    • @whatifdisneyworld
      @whatifdisneyworld  8 месяцев назад

      Great question and it’s debatable and really depends on what she enjoys more! The highlights in EPCOT for our daughter that’s close to her age are the new Moana Journey of water interactive water attraction, Soarin, Figment, Frozen ride and there are a lot of princess meet and greets and even a princess character meal at Akershus. Animal kingdom highlights for our daughter are flight of passage, Navi river, the safari ride and the lion king and Nemo shows. If she’s more into animals and lion king or Nemo, I would pick animal kingdom but if she’s more into princesses she might enjoy Epcot more. There is fantastic food in both parks! I hope they helps guide you a bit. We love both so you really can’t go wrong!

    How are crowds in September

    • @whatifdisneyworld
      @whatifdisneyworld  Год назад

      September is one of the lowest crowd times in Disney World! We have been in September for the past two years and have a trip planned this year too because of how amazing the low crowds were in our 2021 and 2022 trips! The week after Labor Day is when we have been previously and crowds are SO low! It is still pretty hot but you can get so many rides in early with the low crowds and then take a break from the park in afternoon! It’s a great time to go!

    How does the snacking around the world work

    • @whatifdisneyworld
      @whatifdisneyworld  Год назад

      We like to look at the menus for the festival booths in each country or just the regular quick service locations in each country and pick 1-2 things in each country we want to try. As we visit each country walking around World Showcase, we stop and get a snack at a booth or quick service spot and all share and taste of it! It’s a fun way to sample and taste a lot of different things! If you go in September, Food and Wine Festival will be going on and the food there is fantastic! We have a video about the foods we tried on our visit last year! ruclips.net/video/SRNE5-yQ8-8/видео.html

      For breakfast, I love to get a pastry from Kringla Bakeri in the Norway Pavilion. If you are close to France though the Les Halles Bakery in the France Pavilion has wonderful pastries and breakfast options too!

    My Birthday is in Two Days and are you going to do a regular video of all the Disney Princesses wishing me Happy Birthday?
    Or just a short video of yourself and all the Disney Princesses wishing me Happy Birthday or something like that let me know
    Like a Disney Princess shoutout? Tell a few Disney Princesses I said hi and I do Christmas music and some popular music
    and then ask Anna about some wedding classical music and ask Elsa about four of her favorites of my classical music series.
    Beethoven Mozart Handel and Vivaldi
    including the extra one.
