    Just came back for a rewatch! What a fun and comforting video. I love the way this was filmed…reminds me of late 90s/early 2000s just really loose and off the cuff. Been loving the podcast too! Even with the preplanning involved and layers of facts/knowledge, it comes across as cozy like chatting with friends. :)

    This is a GREAT way to plan your day! I was at Disney last week and we alternated After Hours parties at MK and HS with regular park days at Epcot and AK. For us, it was an ideal way to enjoy our vacation. We slept in after the After Hours parties and used Genie+ in the afternoon. If you love rides like my travel party does, know that you can both join a virtual queue *and* purchase a Lightning Lane. I totally agree with prioritizing experiences as well. The shows are amazing and, more practically speaking, sometimes it’s a choice between heat stroke and Frozen Ever After!

    Having lived on the island for over 20 years I can tell you that you will NEVER get rid of those flies. The island is over 100 miles long, and those flies will travel a long way when they smell BBQ and especially sea food. Disney has left hundreds of acres untouched(for which we are all grateful), and the flies love living in the bushes. No one has yet mentioned the no-see-us that eat you alive at dawn and dusk. Also look out for scorpions, black widow spiders, tarantulas and boas. This is a very rural island and we live with these on a daily basis.

      @@livingbydisney Mixed bag, some are grateful for the work, some are furious to have one of our most beautiful beaches overrun with cruisers. Lighthouse Point used to be a very special place for most Eleutheran, remote, untouched and a treasure of The Bahamas. There is no putting the genie back in the bottle. The amount of sewage, food waste and litter from fast food restaurants will stay on the island and seepage will eventually make its way to the reef. You can’t ship in thousands of people a week and expect the island to remain pristine. They call it progress.

      Holiday parties don’t have any Genie+ or Lighting Lane options so it’s a bit different. They’re really about the special party entertainment and rides are secondary. But wait times drop a lot as the night goes on so plan to do more rides the last 90 minutes of the party for shortest waits. And check out our video guide for both Halloween and Christmas 👀

    Great video!!! This is the way I travel now. I like the way you break it up and spell it out! Years ago we tried to hit every ride and made ourselves miserable. Now that we have been a few times, we just pick out some favorite must-do's, plan at least one table Service meal a day most of the time, and we have learned how valuable early entry, rope drop, and late stay can be. We also value experiences and hotel chill time. We prioritize daily park breaks of at least two hours on any day we plan to stay late. You can't start touring at 7 am and last till the park closes and fully enjoy it unless you take that mid-day break.
