I always mention this tip: Ask the kiosks or quick service places for LARGE ice waters. They are free, will fill up most reusable bottles, and are a must to beat the heat at Disney.

When I worked as a cast member, the biggest thing I learned from observing families is that you need to have water bottles that you refill throughout the day, especially the kiddos. And if your child naps at home, they need to nap at Disney too, especially if you're staying for the nighttime shows. The 3 pm meltdown can be easily avoided if kids (and even some adults) are rested and hydrated.

Where can kids nap without leaving the park? I’m worried my kids won’t want to nap in their strollers but I don’t want to have to go back to our hotel room and waste more time

Biggest rookie mistake? Taking the ponchos out of the park bag and leaving them in the hotel because “well, it didn’t rain yesterday.” That was me. Very wet. For no reason.

My rookie mistake was not doing some long test walks in my shoes before I went. I thought hikers would be ideal but I was in agonizing pain every single day and they didn't have shoes in my size at the parks 🥲 Maybe should have gone to target or used amazon but it's hard to think straight after a week of painful feet. So GOOD SHOES ARE IMPERATIVE.

Take an afternoon break: it seems obvious, but it always surprises me and my husband when we go and at noon, the heat of the day, the park is the busiest. We leave at lunch, take a swim and nap, and come back . Usually on our way back in we pass a bunch of miserable and overheated families on their way out.

THIS!!! my parents did this with me as a kid and i still do it now. disney is extremely overstimulating for some plus with the heat it can led to preventable meltdowns. taking breaks means you can get more done in a good mood.

Dining reservations are so crucial. Way back in 2006 I remember my family was at Epcot and either we didn't have a reservation or our reservation was no longer available (our intended world showcase restaurant had to close unexpectedly I think!). We were SO hungry and tired until the hosts at the Mexico table service place took pity on us and found us a table very last minute among an ocean of people. I think Disney has gotten much better about avoiding situations like that since then. I know this channel doesn't rate it very highly, but tbf it USED to be excellent and I've got a soft spot for it in my heart because of those nameless employees helping kid me and my family from 16 years gone by. Jesus, 16 years 😆

OH MY GOSH I’M SO GLAD YOU MADE A SHAMELESS PLUG FOR THE T SHIRTS! I’m in charge of planning with my extended family of 12 (I know, I’m going crazy already!) for our trip in Oct. I would LOVE to see an entire DFB episode on tips and tricks for traveling with a group! For instance, I didn’t know that most Disney restaurants won’t make a reservation for 12 people, so I had to make reservations in groups of 6. But some restaurants have very few tables for parties of 6, so for one restaurant I had to make 3 reservations for 4 people 🤪 I know you got the insider tips…spill, AJ, spill!

There are two things Disney could do to make the park pass mess better. They could either sell the passes with the tickets when you order the tickets, or they could stop selling tickets if the passes sell out. There should be no reason for people to get to the gate and be told there are no passes left, if they have a ticket in their hand.

About dining reservations-I would add that with all the flight delays and cancellations lately, don’t make a dining reservation for the day you fly in. That was our only chance to eat at Jiko, so I was eager to just make the reservation. But we missed it because our flight got cancelled and we were on standby from 5am-4pm. We also had our park reservation for MK the next day… the park we most wanted to go to with our little ones. In these times, saving your “must-do” park for later in your trip adds some extra peace of mind. But we at least made it to AKL the day we were supposed to, went to MK the next day, and other than the flight issues, our trip was perfect!

My first trip to WDW in 2015 I made a ADR for lunch at Crystal Palace at 12PM the day after the Christmas party. I started my day a little late and I finished eating breakfast at 9 am and I was not close to being hungry just 3 hours later. So I asked the CM I could check in 1 hour later (and they let me). So my advice would be mindful of your ADRs timing and space out your meals. Or just cancel the day before like AJ suggested!

Just went Disney World last week. We purchased Genie + we really only needed it for Magic Kingdom and Hollywood Studios. FYI Second we also purchased the Photo Pass. We had issues finding the people to take the photos. They are not in the same uniforms they used to be in so hard to find them. Then there where some issues with some of the rides that have them so photos where not available. We still had a Great time but would have only purchased genie for the two parks. And would have passed the photo pass. At least for right now.

When it comes to photos around the parks, it’s crucial to have a paper map OR download the Disney app to have the digital map. The photographers are stationed at very specific spots across the parks and they’re usually always in the same spot in rotation.

Thanks for these tips and especially transportation. We are from Florida and have been several times so we are well aware of the heat. We have mapped out our Epcot food and wine festival journey. Instead of walking around world showcase we are going to take the boat across to Germany. Then we are working our way around to France. With shopping and eating we’ll need a break from the heat by then so we plan to exit the park at the International gateway and take the boat round-trip to Hollywood Studios and back to Epcot giving us a nice relaxing break. We will then re-enter Epcot and finish our food and wine festival journey. Also want to thank you for the videos on the food festival… We have our list of things to try thanks to DFB. Yum

Question that just popped into my head: does a reservation using the Rebound discount HAVE to be for the same person/name as the current booking? Like, if I know my family is going to WDW for spring break and my friend is taking her family for fall break…could she just book for me using the Rebound discount she’s given during her trip and then I reimburse her? Or would that Rebound discount booking HAVE to be under her name? Does that make sense? Seems like a pretty clever way to get a really good discount - even if you only go to Disney every few years, you’re sure to know someone you trust that will be going before you. Obviously this would only work if both parties are trustworthy and reliable when it comes to money and paying each other back (aka family or best friends). Just a thought!

OK, we are heading there in May with our two girls 8 and 6 for the first time. My wife and I haven't been since 2010. Would you recommend double stroller rental just to side-step the crankiness and tired legs? And if we do rent one each day, are we stuck with it the entire day, or can we drop it off at a kiosk and pick one up later again if needed? Thirdly, what are necessities to have on-person assuming we may be able to clip to a stroller? I'm thinking string bag with sunscreen, snacks, water, but also don't want to overpack. My fear is not being prepared for when miserable attitudes arise due to heat and tiredness, but at the same time not wanting to carry a heavy load of unnecessary items.

Just got back from WDW a few days ago. And I can happily report that the App is quite user-friendly and, with a little advance planning, I was not in my phone nearly as much as I feared. Even if you’re not a “rope drop” family (we are not), you can wake up a little early, set up your first Genie+ and possibly a ILL, and then go about your day. I’m not a fan of the extra expense for these things, and I REALLY think resort guests should get a break on Genie+. But it was much more manageable and enjoyable than I had feared, and we had a terrific week.

The whole thing seems like a nightmare to plan now not to mention it costing $8CAD for a stinking cupcake. I think I’m going to go full on Universal for the first time instead.

Hi AJ! thanks for this video! Leaving for WDW in a few days! Its been a nightmare setting up our trip for a party of 7 using the Disney App; many hours on-hold and on the phone with cast members! (was so frustrated I almost cancelled entire trip). Anyway, we plan to "rope drop" at Magic Kingdom, since we are staying on DIsney property, we can early admit at 8:30AM, but what time do we need to actually get there? thanks!

In the past I’ve seen people recommend 30-60 minutes before early entry time. They start letting people onto Main Street before park open and then check your ticket to make sure you’re a hotel guest as you’re heading back to the open lands so navigating that is what will take time! Hope everything with your trip goes well despite some hiccups!!

I would love a How to video on how Disney Geni+ works. This will be my first time in years going and I do not like the fact that I can't play around in it until the day of. I know there is a ton of controversary on the App and I will probably regret it but this is my Family's first visit and maybe our last.

As far as the playing around, you can look at the tip board and my genie day in the free version of the app ahead of time to get familiar with ride wait times and see which genie+ return times book up quickest so you know which ones to book first on your trip! After looking at it I opted to book rides like jungle cruise in MK, and Slinky dog in HS as my first selections bc they would both book up well into the day even at 7 AM when selections opened for resort guests

Rookie Question: Can you get Genie Plus for the Halloween Party? I've heard it gets pretty busy and we plan to get there early. Toddler can't stand in long lines. We tried. We all tired. It was crazy hard.
@eliseg0001
@eliseg0001 Жыл бұрын
According to a response on PlanDisney from April 2022; “In the past, Guests were not able to use FastPasses during the Halloween parties as these were special after-hours events with limited capacity. While it was announced recently that the Halloween parties are returning to the Magic Kingdom Park, whether Disney Genie+ will be available during those hours has not yet been confirmed. I also reached out to a Cast Member via chat through the Help Center online, and they confirmed that we do not know that information quite yet. In this case, I would highly recommend keeping an eye on Disney Parks Blog or the Walt Disney World Resort website as we get closer to the Halloween season. I expect that more information will be released throughout the upcoming months, as that is typically what happens when new events are announced.”

If everyone has their own Disney Experience profile you can use the Chat messaging system or call them to put everyone in a group together and one person can make plans for everyone. My family and my cousin's family booked different hotels and they still have us grouped together. My cousin has been booking everything for us.
