I left my phone on 7 Dwarves Mine Train. Talk about panic since our whole trip agenda was on there. The cast members were very helpful and reunited me with my phone in about 2 minutes.

We lost our 6 year old child at typhoon lagoon. But we had told him what to do ahead of time. After we had run around the park terrified we went to the lost child area…… which is what we had told him to do🤦🏻‍♀️. He was there having a lovely time!! He was calm, and did what was expected. It was us that panicked and behaved like drama queens 😂

what about taking a photo of the kid(s) each morning - with the clothes they are wearing

In June 2023 in WDW I needed medical care. I am grateful for the Beach Club concierge staff who helped get to urgent care and get antbiotics delivered to my resort. The vacation was a success!

Lost parents 😉 can be pretty common in the parks. I’ve had a three year old get separated from their family in DAK Asia and end up by me in Dinoland - everything always works out and we’re always able to reunite parties, especially if all remain calm. Best tip for everyone is take a group pic at the start of your day so you know what everyone is wearing, and if anyone is separated see the first cast member you can find and tell them what’s going on. Especially those cast that have radios, we found the family and had the three year old headed over to Baby Care for a reunion within minutes.

absolutely LOVE disneyworld. Sorry for your Desantis headaches🙄

And please remember folks, the cast members didn't cause the problem. They are there to help you, so please don't take it out on those hard working folks. As the old saying goes, "You catch more flys with honey". Can't wait for our next visit in January.😀

One thing to remember is that Disney's free cancellation policy applies to hurricane warnings but *not* hurricane watches. The National Hurricane Center will issue a warning if hurricane force winds (74+ mph) are expected in the area, and does so 36 hours before the expected arrival of tropical storm force winds (39+ mph). A hurricane watch means that hurricane force winds are possible, and the Hurricane Center will issue one 48 hours before the anticipated arrival of tropical storm force winds. Watches can turn into warnings and there's always a cone of uncertainty around storm paths. These time periods may seem long, but can go by quickly if you're traveling a long distance to get to WDW.

I lost my wallet with ID in it in MK in 2018. I didn't use the site as I didn't know about it, but worked with the hotel staff and police to report it. I had to go through extra pat downs and hassles at the airport because I didn't have my ID. I got my wallet with ID and credit cards still in it mailed to me, but the cash was all gone. I'm glad I got it because getting a new ID is a pain.

I have been going to Disney for 4 years, and so far, the only time I panic is to get to get to the airport on time😂...🤞

Am I the only one that panics missing Disney world lol

My husband works for Comcast and gets a discount at Universal. Last year when we went he forgot to bring his work ID for proof when picking up the tickets. Luckily the wife who takes pictures of everything had a picture of his ID.

For the kid thing- you might consider having them carry a tile or airtag so you can track them. Likewise for losing like a bag or maybe wallet.

Love the messages in your videos about kindness toward others and cast members!

The lost kid thing happened to us when we were at Disneyland and my little brother who was like 7 or 8. He decided to stop at the gift shop or mickey ice cream cart. My poor mom was losing it until we found him. He was like what I was just over here 😂 he's such a pain but all is good and we love him and have a good story to use

On our last trip to DisneyWorld, I lost my sunglasses case (hard sided clip on zipper pouch) with my regular glasses in it ($800 titanium framed prescription glasses). I was wearing my sunglasses and somehow managed to lose the case somewhere between Sanaa for lunch and Animal Kingdom watching the kite show. As soon as I realized it was gone, I went back to look at the last few places I had been, then eventually to guest services at the front of the park. They had me fill out the lost and found form on the website, and I went about the rest of my trip hoping. I checked back with guest services on the way out of the park that day, but no luck. A few days later they suggested that I check with lost and found over at Disney Springs (which is where all the valuable stuff moves to after it hits the front of the park if it isn't claimed). They didn't have anything for me, and I thought I was going to lose my glasses for good. On the day before our trip was over, I checked back with lost and found at Disney Springs and the girl working the counter said they found a case but she wasn't sure if they were mine. She took time out of her day at the end of her shift to go over to the warehouse location, took a picture of my case and glasses, and sent it to me. Somehow, my glasses had been found and turned in! I was able to get them back on the day of our departure. Nothing like spending 10 days at Disney without your glasses. Fortunately my sunglasses are also prescription so I wasn't completely blind.

Happy purple Thursday everyone 💜

My day whenever DFB posts 📈📈📈

Great video AJ and team! I always feel more prepared when I watch your videos 😊

Speaking from experience, I got food poisoning from Ohana back in 2019. It was NOT fun. It happened on day 2 of my 7-day trip, and I didn't fully recover until a day after getting home. Disney, luckily, was very accommodating and gave me a few compensations. During the trip they gave me a few free fastpasses, and after the trip, they refunded me for one of my nights (since I spent half the day in that offsite urgent health spot). Also, I was advised to call their claims service after my trip for further compensation, and was given a partial refund to my dining plan (since I could barely eat all week), and two free nights at any moderate or lower hotel (or a discount at a deluxe hotel). Disney does their best to make right a situation they were in the wrong for! I knew I had gotten food poisoning in the park since I got it after 24 hours of just eating on the dining plan. It was an unfortunate, very uncomfortable vacation overall, but Disney did their best to still make it magical :)

Imodium AD is a vacation life saver!! Years ago, something did not agree with me and a couple doses of that product worked wonders for me. I always carry it whenever I leave home since then.

25:51 for the phone number thing, A sharpie sealed with hairspray will last pretty long as well. Of course I would lean towards the temporary tattoos if you’re headed for a water park.

What a wonderful video. Thanks for sharing your time with me today. You are the best.

My son had a bad reaction to a bagel in the Norway bakery. Must have touched the salmon locks somehow. He got super sick and it was so embarrassing because we tried so hard to be careful. This is great to know for next visit.

When to panic? Y2K, 9/11, Hurricane… …oh, there was that one time when there was a death in the family, though that technically didn’t happen at WDW

They definitely are on it when a kiddo is found wandering alone (at least the case we witnessed)! In the Storybook Park/Dumbo areas my husband saw a small child looking lost by itself and before he could even walk to a CM a whole team of CM’s were there! Made me feel a lot more at ease about it for sure!

Mine was at Disneyland. Lost my phone during oogie boogie bash. Just my young daughter and me on the trip. Luckily a CM helped me for 1.5 hours to finally locate it. Someone found it but never turned it in.

If you’re anything like me and prone to going down quick while sick with a stomach bug or food poisoning (like trip to the ER, down quick). Talk with your doctor (or any doctor at an urgent care or somewhere similar) and ask if they can provide you with a prescription for nausea a medication for the trip. These meds have saved me after I finally realized I needed to do something different. They come with me on every trip now

I had a mild panic my first trip that I didn't end up needing help for. after a whole day at Animal Kingdom, after a whole day at epcot the day before, I had a dining reservation in Magic Kingdom and by the time I got into the park and to the restaurant I was genuinely worried I wouldn't have the capacity to walk back out. Thank goodness an hour at dinner with my shoes off on the cold floor under the table did the trick, but I was starting to wonder if First Aid could wheel me back to the bus!

This was a great video! Thank you for some extra tips.

Yup, last trip when I arrived at Pop they couldn't find it room under my name or my friends name. Had to use the confirmation number. We booked with a travel agency so maybe that's why.

I’m going next week! Can’t wait!!!

Let’s do Disney!

Going in September and just mad another reservation to go at the end of feb :)))) so pumped

12:12 "I SHALL finish my drink no matter what"

We've never gotten sick at Disney as far as food. They are usually great with food issues. The only time I got sick we had left to meet people in town for dinner at a buffet style place.

Thanks AJ. Always a big help.

When you get the bill and realize that you could have gone on so many other vacations instead.

Thank you for all the info AJ!❤

Anotner tip is to bring some cash for when the whole checkout system goes down for a few hours! Between 3 people we scrapped together enough cash for a cinnamon roll at Gastons 😂 Rain Ponchos are also an ABSOLUTE MUST!!!!!!!!!!!

I panic when i almost forgot to renew my magic key LOL

Another time to panic about your Disney World trip - when it comes time to figure out how to pay for it all.

when the available credit goes to zero on your credit card.

Who els is excited to get the new figments for annual pass holders 😍

When i see the credit card statement 😂

Excellent Advice and information, thank you!

Ever since I moved here two weeks ago, Mobile Order for me has failed. Every time I go to Review Order Summary, it always says Something Went Wrong, so I've had to pay the old-fashioned way. Everything's up to date, and the Cast Members can't offer me any more hints. This falls into the MY DISNEY EXPERIENCE NOT WORKING category.

Shout out for the respiratory therapists! ❤

Can someone advise me on flights? Meaning is it too soon to book a flight for April 2024?? How soon do people book flights? I booked Disney hotel but worried that flight will be canceled so far in advance. Thank you!

Hey I am doing a rundisney later this year could you do a video on rundisney explaining it a bit more please.

Our first trip to Disney World many years ago we stayed in All Star Sports. The night before our flight home, my daughter got a packaged sandwich in the food court area and got food poisoning. Terrible night and flight home but at least it was at the end.

Wait, AJ mentioned that she had to fly home in one of her stories. She doesn't live in Disney world???

How common are pickpockets/thieves in the park?

WDW is amazing when it comes to allergens!

I'm halfway to Valdosta before I actually start planning things lol

I’m going to Disney world from the 6th to the 20th staying at the Old Key West resort. Do you have any tips it’s the first tip in about 10 years since we’ve been there last time

have kids wear air tags

I need some help with my WDW vacation. Can someone tell me the chances of the virtual cue ending for Cosmic Rewind and or Tron before September 10th? Has any info been revealed concerning that? If you had just one day to do EPCOT and MNSSHP how would you get from the Swan to EPCOT (would you enter at the international gateway or the front entrance?), then to MK, and back to the Swan after MNSSHP? My niece moves into Flamingo Crossing the next day to start her DCP experience. Two of our top priorities are Cosmic Rewind and Tron. Okay, that’s my top priorities, because she’ll have months to ride them while she is working at WDW on her DCP. 😄 Thanks!!!

We are going on the Africa Trek in about 6 weeks- my daughter is allergic to pineapple. I've been trying to figure out how to add dietary restrictions for the lunch/snack that is provided but no luck so far...

Panic Situation: You’ve Lost Your Child. Disney Solution: Don’t worry! We would be happy to rent you one of our high priced rooms to go and make another one!

Am I first everyone ?

1st!!

I love that you guys include direct phone numbers 🫶

I panic when i gotta go up, down, and all around the airport to get my baggage and find my ride.
