Always thought that little mouse was shady

Yup, especially if you want to like, get paid...:)

not anymore

I posted a coment ranting.. Since you are a castmember.. Im going to copy and past (it has terrible typos) .. And you tell me if in wrong or right or in the middle.. Please.

Disney doesn't want to tell you that star wars galaxy's edge is about the new Disney star wars. and characters will divert the topic if you mention old Disney stuff... Like: "this arent the droids you are looking for" ... Or if you mention Darth Vader in the empire. Or all that stuff. Also... Characters are for kids.. and cast members prefer if you let them do their magic for the kids instead of interrupting them... Also, adults put characters on the spot because adults don't get that they caaaaant break their characters... I once saw a video about a parent saying to chewy that they arent talk enough for the costume... The face on Rey and character handler was priceless. They cant cant cant cant cant cant break characters, adults make it hard for them. Also... Disney doesn't want you to know that hoarding characters for yourself makes the characters uncomfortable because they have to dispatch you while at the same time not break characters or hurt your experience.. ... Most of the time a handler will come. And you won't know the difference. But the handler is like a supervisor checking what is wrong. The characters shit their pants when the handler comes. Teenagers make it harder, I saw once a video about Rey trying to explain to a 19year old that his custom lightsaber isn't permitted. And the kid was a smart-ass saying that there is a shop selling lightsabers... Rey had to go "interrogate the scrap metal contraband"... Then talk to a shop employee. And ask the employee if they are changing "scrap metal"... The employee got the clue, replied "only in service" .. Then the kid said thanks Rey you were nice about it... Dude, you knew what she meant, you took her out of her routine, you made her have to jump obstacles in order to not break character... You are an asshole. Then chewie came with the handler... She shit her pants... That's wrong. I get it, Disney is for all ages... But remember characters are normal people with low salary, and replaceable. If you could just try to not act like a kid, and be reasonable. They might keep their jobs... It's ok if a kid doesn't understand this and tries to hoard a princess, but don't hoard her yourself with stupid questions while she is trying to work the magic on your kid. You are taking time from her and putting her in the spot with your "breaking the 4th wall comments" ... Take a picture and let kylo ren keep going, save your Disney ruined star wars comments, and the im an og star wars fan mentality, let them give you the product they worked so hard on. Stop raining on Disneys parade, it is really cool what they are doing. There was this guy asking Rey how to get a job at Disney... Man.. Rey had to explain that there's a lot of scavenger and engineer jobs for the falcon and recruitments and if he wants she could speak with Leia for his recruitment... Come on, don't do this... Don't make them break character, you are wasting your money if you do this... Disney is for you to insert yourself inside the movie. Don't break that magic bringing the real world to it... Most of the time is not on purpose, but sometimes it is.. Sometimes people just want to be smartasses

It's a good plan. We once stayed at All Star Movies and dined at California Grill. Worked out great!

Last week we stayed at Fort Wilderness ( tent camping loop) and ate lunch at the Polynesian, delish!

Great news for broke mofos like me lol

😂

@@omnicognatesnr5947 I couldn't imagine how much more those places would be... One day maybe. For now, Disney World is close enough!

Oh my god, it hit me so hard :(

@@omnicognatesnr5947 I have a friend who told me that too! She told me she doesn't understand why people go to Disney more than once. She has never been to Disney as far as I know so....there you have it! 😄

Amy Gordon I get it! They don’t need to work!!!

haha!

it's big brain time

wih their prices you‘d be a Disney street bum in no time...Interesting concept though 🤪

😂😂😂

I've been saving since June 2015. We make $21,000 every year before taxes. Every year since than we've just gone tent camping and spent only gas money to destination. Gotta save those pennies. Our 4 day, 3 night trip for family of 5: Disney has campsite for tent $228 + $984 Quick Service meal plan+ $100 souvenirs + $1,000 for 2 day tickets no park hopping+ $200 taxes/tips/fees/just in case+ $80 tent fee for 2 nights total for driving down and back + $360 car gas= $2,952 total. We've saved $2,600 so far and still have 10 months to save to reach our goal of $3,000. We save typically $50 every month but there was times we couldn't and preplanned that into our goal like holiday and birthday. So we will see Animal Kingdom day 1, Fort Wilderness day 2, Magic Kingdom day 3, and Disney Springs day 4 until we leave after 11am lunch. No it's not cheap but it's what we can afford with serious hard work of saving up for it. It use to drive me nuts when people say they go often and it doesn't cost all that much. It really does! I'm not big on rollercoasters and neither is one child of ours so my top goal is meeting characters and seeing the shows/ parades/ animals.

@@sjfinley8002 damn man what do you do for a living? 21k $ with two incomes is just mean

I imagine it would lose some of its charm after going so many times

@@rhodopisdenile8977 you would think. I'm already bored of carowinds after 2 years with only about a dozen trips total. I'm glad I didnt renew the season pass this year 😁

Me with a pass holder. ;-;

AliciaJo absolutely! SOG is awesome.

Or any military base

AliciaJo stay there every year due to my father. Resort is simple, clean and we get our park tickets cheaper at SOG than my uncle can get them and he works at Magic Kingdom

Each veteran or active person can get 4 tickets. 1 is theirs and they HAVE to go with you to the parks. If you have more then 1 person the more tickets you can get. My family can get 12. Both parents are retired and my husband!

I think this is great for our retired and active duty military members and their families. However, I really wish they would extend it to disabled veterans as well.

Dont go every year??? Easy to say for A.J. when you get to go all the time. We go once a year and it sucks . So far I have been unsuccessful in figuring out a way to afford going twice a year! :(

Kor 82 hey we’re going back in january too!!! my moms running the half marathon, and it’s my boyfriends first time to disney EVER!! definitely get ur dole whip even if the weather is awful, its super worth it!!

Meesa Peesa even once a year barley feels like enough for us!! even then i still find myself getting disney fever.

Meh. We used to go twice a year but it's so crowded anymore.

@@awefawn7793 I spend 1 week a year in Disney world and the other 51 weeks planning and thinking about going to Disney world lol

Yeah same

We do this wherever we travel, only eat out at a special restaurant.

that a good idea

Ashley McCoy That is what we do. I tested out some pocket size external batteries from the $5.00 & Below Store but they just weren’t reliable so I ended up ordering a few powerful but small external batteries from Amazon. Along with 1-2 foot iPhone charging cables. Another good thing about the Amazon external batteries is they each came with a small carrying case and very small micro cables to charge the external batteries. I basically made 2-4 sets with each set including an external battery, 1 or 2 foot iPhone cable, carrying case with the small micro cable in the case. This summer when our older boys needed a charge I pulled a set from the backpack and they could slide their iPhone charging with the small external battery into their pockets. I kept a small wall charger with my set and each afternoon or evening during our sit down meal I would top off the external batteries. We went on a 7 night cruise after the week at WDW and the external batteries came in handy for the cruise too.

You can ask about removing sides from the meal, a lot of places in parks offer that option to remove a few bucks off. And not every kids meal in the parks is just chicken tenders or Mac and cheese, there are some more interesting options but it does definitely require a bit more research to find them. The meat buns for kids menu at Pandora was always a rather popular sight to see adults choosing instead.

Susan Zahn You may also want to look at doing snacks as a meal. Some of the snacks are super tasty and big enough as a meal portion for someone who doesn’t need the larger portion.

There certainly are plenty of chicken nuggets on the kids menus but if you keep your eyes peeled there are some really great options. Last trip I got a delicious piece of salmon with steamed broccoli off the kids menu at sunshine seasons, it was the perfect portion.

I have no problems eating off the kids menu (also, sidebar, the McNuggets are way lower quality and grosser than chicken nuggets in other places), but I REALLY wish restaurants all over (not just at Disney) would have small portion options. I suppose it's some kind of issue with how much it costs to prepare the food versus how much they sell it for, but it's really annoying to want X food but it comes as basically three servings.

@@KeemieKEZ I did snacks as meals quite a few times on my past trips. But on my upcoming trip, the package deal came with the meal plan, so I'm looking at tons of food! I'm resigned to wasting food, sadly--it's that or only ordering off the appetizers and soups menus, which means I'd never come close to getting my money's worth.

Same, I watch these videos hoping one day I’ll finally be able to go

Dumb COVID

Davina Hoggatt same

I know, I thought that was an odd thing for her list.

Yosherboi 420 I got to go last year in December 2019. First trip to Disney in 35 years. I would love to go again. But that was probably my last time. But it was worth it! Hope you get to go someday!

Same. I always stay at the All-Stars! ⭐🌟⭐

Depends on what you want your Disney vaca to be. We did the values many times when our daughter was little. Now we are over 50 and go alone so we stay at one of the moderates (Port Orleans Riverside is nice) or rent DVC points and stay at the Deluxe resorts for less than 1/2 price per night! We spend about 1/3 of our vacation relaxing and enjoying the resort's dining, shops, gorgeous pools, and ambiance! Kidani Village is amazing and so chill and gorgeous. As much as I love my Disney, I just can not do the insane before rope drop and stay till closing days I always used to do! Sadly, we have no plans for Disney due to COVID-19 right now. :(

For me growing up in the Tampa Bay Area we went to Disney several times a month, especially after we had our own kid. Moved to NC 5 years ago and we still make several trips a year to Disney but I appreciate it a lot more than when we lived an hour away.

@@pw9373 totally agree. i live 2 hrs away and had APs the last 3 years. its time for a break now that my son is almost 4. before i start paying for him to go, there are more things i want him to see before we take him back to WDW as a paid AP holder, haha.

Dee McGee exactly when I’m old enough I’m moving to Florida to work for Disney 😂😂

We want to move near Disney!

When I retire I plan on selling my house, taking my pension and moving to Orlando and hopefully getting a job at Disney world

This was exactly what i was thinking. I live in europe so it is Disneyland Paris for me though. But i've been once in my lifetime and dreaming now to go a second time. every year? How do people afford that!?

A lot of people use the forever-in-credit-debt method of budgeting and do things like Disney and the trade in for newset model of cars every year. It's not a lifestyle I agree with, but lots of people do it anyhow. Que sera.

Some of us live in Orlando and don't have to pay for hotel or travel, so we only need tickets, which are cheaper for FL residents. Also, I don't live in FL anymore and have only been back to DisneyWorld twice in 10 years and DisneyLand once. For DisneyLand, we stayed off property at a hotel with a free shuttle, which saved a ton of money, and we drove 12 hours instead of flew. It can be done, but takes a lot of planning in advance and budget-crunching.

I live in South America, so I have to fly to Florida or California (as I don't speak french nor japanese). My wife and I plan to go someday in our lifetime. Maybe when we have kids.

Me and my fam try to go every year but ofc this year we can’t because... well... ya know hey we can’t go.. XD

@@kor8267 You can order off the kid's menu at any quick service restaurant as an adult, but it varies with the table service restaurants. They likely won't allow it, but sometimes they might make an exception.

Literally? Yikes.

Kor 82 You almost definitely will be able to order off the kids menu at quick/counter service restaurants. Table service restaurants are the wild card here. Some allow it, some don’t. It usually depends whether or not the server is a good Disney employee or not, because even if you’re denied a kids menu at the front, most servers will bring you one and let you order off it with no judgement. As a general rule of thumb I’ve found, if there’s a plain hamburger / cheese pizza / chicken wings (like, for example something special, I.e chicken wings with a special sauce) then 9/10 times you’ll be allowed to order off the kids menu.

Personally I understand the need of recycling tips, but it comes off very clickbaity when the title is 'tips Disney does not want us to say' you expect new things that they have not already been saying almost every week. It's like 'wow the things that everyone already knows is something Disney didn't want her to say? A bit late for that isn't it?' Now if the format of the video was something like 'top past tips Disney has told us they would like us to stop discussing' that would feel more honest and have less expectation for new amazing tips. I don't think anyone TRULY expects ONLY new original tips and content all the time, but the issue comes from setting expectations with titles.

@@davidfitzsimmons2451 Totally agree. Came here to say this. This is starting to become common on this channel, clickbaity title + tips already shared in other video = ‘New’ DFBG video

@@patjschmidt yea it's all recycled vids. there are so many better wdw info vids on youtube. this channel has gone way down, but the comments on here are way more entertaining than the actual videos.

patjschmidt You’re getting something for nothing. Stop whining

Hi David! Thanks for your comment, and thank you for being engaged with this channel. We work very hard to ensure that our videos are valuable to a wide variety of Disney fans as well as viewers who are deciding whether or not to go to Disney. Many tips do fit into multiple videos, and it's our job to make sure that -- even if a piece of advice was shared in another video -- it's still included just in case a viewer hasn't seen every single video we've created. But you'll want to be careful with the word clickbait in reference to our videos. Clickbait implies that the content doesn't live up to the title and doesn't offer value to the viewer, and I can assure you that we are tediously careful to be sure that the advice and content that's in our videos is valuable, informative, useful and beneficial to our viewers. We work really hard -- REALLY HARD -- at creating excellent videos that help people plan better trips to Disney destinations. So while I greatly appreciate that you recognize that some tips do indeed need to be in multiple videos -- very few people watch every single video, and would therefore miss out on relevant content if we didn't include tips more than once -- but I wouldn't agree that the videos don't live up to their titles.

good to know I booked mine almost a year in advance because I needed a role in shower and I wanted a castle view from my room and I can't get the annual passholder discount or even the discount being offered for non-passholders and I'm just feeling so cheated but I have to say they've offered to look in other hotels for me and I wouldn't give up my view and I can't give up my roll in shower

You also need to pay the rack rate if you want free dining.

Good to know thanks! I just booked for 2020 in Sept. I got a good price less than Pop Century room and I picked a moderate this time!

@@natdisneyfan74 facts

Idk, I got two nights at Pop century with a week of notice near the end of August for $70 a night as a special cast member discount, I rarely plan more than a couple of months out

Doodlebob108 I go every month 😳

You only need a magic band or ticket to get into a room. Restaurants are open to anybody.

You are lucky :)

I go every month 😳

Pretty sure Disney themselves don't offer that, but there are definitely Disney partnered travel agencies that do all that.

Former WDW Cast Member here, (Guest Relations VIP Tour Guide). I can assure you that every single one of these DFB videos gives solid, accurate information. I'm SO excited for your 1st trip! You were the kind of Guest I just LOVED to help out and (probably) drowned with information and tips. Have fun! I hope all your dreams come true!

@@kor8267 It was great! 😃 We'll definitely be going back...maybe in 2021 for the 50th anniversary.

Thanks Heidi!

Hi we are staying there too, any tips for the resort?

i’ve only been to disney twice and the last time i went we stayed at all star music. loved it!!

Depends on what you mean specifically. You buy one ticket for a day and I am FAIRLY certain it applies to just that park you are at for the day, because back when we use to do tickets there was the park hopper options. USUALLY when booking multiple days at the parks you are just going to get one of the multiday bundles that includes the park hopper ability built into the tickets. But again this was a while ago so they might have changed things, but either way unless you are buying a ticket every day individually on your trip I doubt it will be an issue. If you are asking if the tickets extend outside of the Disney world parks to Land, Sea, etc then no, not even annual pass covers that.

If you didn’t buy the park hopper, it would be for one park only.

They sell a base ticket which is one park a day and they sell a Disney par hopper plus which also enables each person to visit either a waterpark a day or miniature golf or real golf a day along with parkhopping...they just started selling only the plus. Those are the only tickets per day per person and they decrease in price per person the more days u stay!

YES, just search anker brand chargers on amazon. they are the best. fuel rods are stupid.

I agree with P JB. Remember to pack it in your carry-on not your checked luggage.
