Good to know!

whats so good about epcot? we're planning a trip but can only do 3 parks and we were going to skip epcot because it looked boring

The busses run for an hour after park times. But yes we had the sane experience with a late dining reservation @ Toledo. No busses ran to the parks any longer so we couldn't catch a bus to a park to get one to the hotels. Ended up getting a bus to DTD who, very kindly, took us to our hotel

Honestly I feel if you’re relying on Disney Transportation, you should keep the times in mind and plan for them. If you know there’s a risk of missing that ride end time, don’t jump in line. Maybe it’s because I frequented Disneyland growing up and that was just the thing to do, so it’s normal thought for me, but I think it’s a smart planning tool to avoid any trouble. Also budgeting for unplanned expenses is a good idea as well, because unexpected issues can and likely will happen at any Disney park. (Food poisoning and needing to rush back to the hotel during busy times was /not/ how 16 year old me wanted to spend my vacation)

@@ElectricChrys Exactly, that's why I pointed out the problem to DFB, so that they can warn people who *don't* know it could be a problem. If they're going to recommend in almost every video that people get in line right at the end, even if the wait is an hour, then they should just take a few seconds to add, "Just be aware that Disney's free transportation might be closed by the time you get out!"

@@CritterKeeper01 I understand that completely, and yes a warning would be nice, though I also feel if you’re going to rely on a companies provided free transportation you should make sure you personally know all of the schedules and rules surrounding them, otherwise it ultimately lands on the person who didn’t brush up on the knowledge, not a KZfaq channel that suggests to get in line at the end of the day. It isn’t their responsibility to tell you about your own transportation risks. Plus they have in past videos mentioned that there are cutoffs for both morning and night transportation. I’m not saying you’re wrong at all, I just think people should prepare more. Perhaps it’s because I’ve always found schedules, plans, and itineraries extremely important not just at a theme park, but in life in general. I couldn’t handle life without the knowledge of when things end, close, etc. I’d have a full on breakdown. So honestly it really just could be because I don’t understand other peoples mindset on it all

This is a helpful tip, thanks! All this scheduling and planning is a lot to take in. This is the most I've researched for any Vaca. When do I get to relax? 😁

This 100%, I always tell family/friends to get on Kilimanjaro Safaris first thing if you want to see them actually moving around lol

We did the safari @ park close in early Jan. Got in line right before close. Saw a ton of animals all moving around for feedings

Oh my gosh you're going to have an AMAZING time!!

This and another season for the imagineering story

I still say this to myself when I have a hard day 😁 it's just one of those sayings that stay with you

When are you going for your Disney College Program??? I’m signed up as well!

I'm glad I'm not the only one! I have a google doc, a list of things we need, and specific times we need to reserve resturaunts for.

Haha, way to go!!!

Agreed! And the mug situation 😭 I know there's worse things in the world, buuuuttt☕

Hopefully fixed by my uk to wdw trip in May! I'm plushie mad haha!

We loved Yak & Yeti too! We did lunch there and it was prob one of the best meals I’ve had in a long time.

Look into DAS, a lot of people will not talk about it in great detail because they do not want this program to be abused as it once was in the past (and had to be changed).

Just curious, what did you do for the 40min?

@Christina Newman we walked around Pandora and got a large pretzel and grog's ale from Pongu Pongu!

And i was shortly before closing. But i waited hours 😔 it was a nightmare. Next time i try early entry.

Beware if you're relying on Disney transportation! I went on Smuggler's Run at the end of the day, and when I got to the entrance, *all* of the Disney transportation was already shut down for the night. I pleaded with the remaining staff, but no sympathy there. I had to pay for a Lyft, which was *not* in the budget! Don't jump into a line last-minute unless you can afford to get yourself back to your hotel and don't mind riding with a stranger through empty park lots and roads.

No. It is it’s own independent thing from the other Lightning Lanes.

Park hopper ?

@@teamslaiyans3808 where you can go to multiple parks in one day after 2 pm

Why??

We go in three days lol should I not take the kids?

@@daniellehuff9945 It depends on your kids. My son HATES spiders and big spiders drop from the ceiling and he was scared. My daughter she was fine. I mean I don’t like spiders either and I know they aren’t real. So they didn’t bother me. But kids I think it depends. I think it’s a cute show but some kids might get scared. Try YouTubing it to judge if your kids would be ok.

Oh my goodness I went last year and it’s not for the squeamish, I had nightmares about bugs crawling on me after😖

@@daniellehuff9945 they’ll be fine

yea sometimes you don’t but most of the time u do

I remember my dad taking us for the first time when I was 11. He looked so pissed the entire time and I wasnt getting it. At 35 now I know 😂

Hello! If you purchase Genie+ for the day, you can make choose one Lightning Lane per attraction for the day. Hope that helps!

@@DFBGuide thank you! The way it was worded tripped me up so I appreciate it!

You son will love it! My boys loved the animals, but my daughter (1 year old) really LOVED seeing the animals so much! 😍

Its just a line like the rides. No tickets
