That’s why i cancelled my trip. None of the discounts applied to the days i’d chosen (months before the deals came out mind you) and a bunch of attractions were going to be closed. Disney’s been really disappointing lately, feels like it’s on a slow decline
I think this free dining is only "worth it" if you were already going to meet all of the requirements. If you have to add park hopper, change resorts, or adjust your dates, I don't see the value. Also you might do better with litterally any other discount to your room or package if one is available. Free dining actually did save us some money on our trip in 2017 and the dining plan made everything feel all inclusive, even if we did do the snack credit walk of shame the last day. If we had paid out right, we would probably have made more conservative food choices and missed out on some things we enjoyed. We would definatly have spent more money if we had ordered the exact food we ate. While we were never worried about maximizing the dining plan, it was worth it for us. This was true because we had free quick service dining while staying at All Star Sports and just paid for the upgrade to standard dining.
This is true. When people talk about free [fill in the blank], but they're paying 3x more for their hotel stay; spending more for food because they can only eat onsite; and/or required to purchase something else (i.e. hopper) -- it ain't free.
Happy New Year!! I have a request. Would you guys do a video about the tours in WDW please? As in "Keys to the Kingdom", "Behind the Seeds", etc. I am having a hard time finding a comprehensive video covering all (or most) of them. Thank you for reading!
The Dole Whip Sangria Float would melt faster because the alcohol in the sangria will lower the melting point of the dole whip at the sangria-dole whip interface. Dole whip is mostly water and water dissolves into ethanol easily, but it also releases a bit of energy as it does so, which will cause the dole whip to melt faster than it otherwise might. The now liquid but still cold dole whip will sink to bottom of the cup, refreshing the dole whip interface. Mix that in with ethanol disrupting the dipole-dipole interactions in the water, and you have a recipe for melting dole whip.
Disney really found a way to torpedo any value in the "Free" dining plan. I remember when moderates got the standard plan, might as well save yourself $300+ a night and the cost of park hopping, get whatever room discounts are available and pay for a dining plan if you must... which I haven't done the numbers on what point it makes it useful to have (especially if you're turned away from a bunch of restaurants because you didn't reserve months in advance)
I wish that the resort mugs were insulated and could be reused for later visits because otherwise it seems really wasteful. It would be nice if there could be a discount for reusing it in later visits too.
I love your videos. I love your format. I love your personality. I would really appreciate if in your general description that we see under the thumbnail if you would put if something. I would appreciate if you would mark Disney World. Or Disneyland Resort or Disney Tokyo etc. I have no Desire to visit Disney World. So when I Click on the video all excited then I hear it's Disney World. I get a little bit bumped. Not your fault. That's all on me, but you would really help this responsible. 5-year-old if you could mark down which park you are featuring in your blog. Thank you so much for everything you do I love love you.😅
I’m so sad that Canadians can’t get the discount on magic band anymore. We love magic band but I don’t want to pay full price (especially because we got the first ones for free… ahh… good times)
I'm still pretty new to the Disney thing. Can someone direct me to where I can find these new Magicbands? I love Figment and I'd love to get that one, but I don't see it on the Disney store.
@1:11 On the video, AJ says "May 27 - June 26, July 7 - August 6, 2025, but the text on the video says "May 27 - June 26, July 27 - August 6, 2025, which is 20 days shorter.
Ayjay , I would love to have Disney build a new Avatar stage show in the animal kingdom. And replacing it over finding nemo the big blue and beyond is not the answer.
Every location is staggered starting in early january...magic kingdom is typically the last area to have holiday decor taken out and it's usually the second week of january shortly after the marathon.
Disney Dining is often a favourite promotion for many of my customers, and it’s easy to see why-it adds a touch of magic to your vacation experience! However, as others have noted, there are additional promotions that may not be combinable with this offer. These alternatives could potentially lower your trip costs depending on your preferences and travel goals. It’s important to weigh your options to ensure you’re getting the best value for your dream Disney vacation. Whether it’s Disney Dining or another fantastic offer, I’m here to help guide you through the best route to achieve your vacation goals while staying within your budget!
No it’s free. Do you expect Disney world to just hand out free food to anyone who shows up at the gates?? You of course need to be staying in a hotel just like the requirement has always been. Just because it’s “free” doesn’t mean rules don’t apply.
HAPPY SATURDAY EVERYONE 🎆 🎇 🧨 🎉 😃 🥳 HOPE EVERYONE HAS A GREAT DAY. Sorry I'm just leaving a comment. The video didn't pop up right away on the home page of UA-cam. Tomorrow is my nephew Clints birthday. He'll be 4 years old
they should give deep discounts with a lot of attractions being closed
In a way they are through their hotel deals. I don't even know the last time they've had a 40% discount for their hotels
That’s why i cancelled my trip. None of the discounts applied to the days i’d chosen (months before the deals came out mind you) and a bunch of attractions were going to be closed. Disney’s been really disappointing lately, feels like it’s on a slow decline
I agree. Disneyland has some amazing discounts
@@SaviSufferingpeople say this every month
Anyone else pass out when she said the cookie was $17.45
I’m dyslexic and I had to reverse that part. I was like whaaaaat? Lol
It said $7.45 on the video so I think AJ misspoke here

Not everyone needs to buy tickets…. It’s a package perk basically
Can you get it with an AP?
@@lonesoul1428 not sure, I'd ask an agent.

This deal took my 7 night French Quarter trip i already booked from $7000 to $5800
Maybe Disney's Hollywood Studios would like to throw the biggest Muppet party ever in honor of their 70th anniversary

a gimmick/ same for the water park, you would stay a extra day if you used it
Disney is dead
The dining plan offer is not worth it to get a non-discounted room.
I wish that the resort mugs were insulated and could be reused for later visits because otherwise it seems really wasteful. It would be nice if there could be a discount for reusing it in later visits too.
Only get the magic bands ahead of your vacation if your in the US. Don't get it if you come from other countries
I love your videos. I love your format. I love your personality. I would really appreciate if in your general description that we see under the thumbnail if you would put if something.

Feb 1 - 8th is our trip, coming soon, need to get out of this cold weather up north!
Forgot to add the weather in Florida will be colder lower around mid 30. Just a heads up.
Theres nothing like the disney news the day before you leave for disney
Leaving in a week for my trip! AHHH 🤩
FYI: Rolly Crump designed the Its a Small Word Clock with inspiration from Mary Blair.

That ice cream section at the movies resort opened the day we left 😂

Anyone else notice the kid trying to step on a pigeon at 5:39
Thanks for the info. Thinking of going on a trip with just my son this summer. Trying to see how we can save some money.
Is it just me or does she sound like Joy from Inside Out….lol 😂 So cute
Is this Joy????
So excited to go this week 🎉🎉
I'm really feeling old. Last time I was at WDW 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea was still a thing!
Not worth it if you have to buy park hopper.
Heading to Disney in 1 week!! Can’t wait!!
I remember getting a Coca Cola Star Wars detonator from galaxy’s edge and was lucky to bring it back to Australia. 😅
Happy New Year
You guys just saved us like $500 on our hotel!!! Thank you so much!!!
We love to hear it!!
I'm vegan so I appreciate the shoutout to Erin McKenna's, I wanna go there and try everything haha! that cookie looks vegantastic.
does that bakery at Disney Springs Have Sugar-Free stuff for my KETO needs?
I feel Disney is so overpriced now it’s insane!
Hi I had heard there was free mini golf perk too for if you are staying at a WDW hotel. Is that still true for 2025?
Ayjay , I would love to have Disney build a new Avatar stage show in the animal kingdom. And replacing it over finding nemo the big blue and beyond is not the answer.
Things should be going down w 2025 being a yr of construction and nothing new and w everyone going to universal
Our Happy Place??? A nod to 'Song of the South' Brer Rabbit and Co.?
I’ve been going to Disney since 1979. These prices are pure greed. Absolutely shameful, Disney.
the bakery is not overlooked, it's just not appealing unless you have dietary restrictions.
I guess if you arrive around 9pm at your hotel, you don’t get free entry to the water park.
Bring Muppets Gonzo In Space Attraction to Magic Kingdom's Tomorrow Land!
I believe you made a mistake in the dates for the FREE dining plan. It should be July 7 not July 27. ☺
In the video you stated that the churro cookie was 17.45 but what came on the screen was 745. Could you please clarify
Absolutely need clarification
When does Disney World take down there holiday decorations?
Every location is staggered starting in early january...magic kingdom is typically the last area to have holiday decor taken out and it's usually the second week of january shortly after the marathon.

Its not *free* u gotta buy something to get the *free* said dinner plan
No it’s free. Do you expect Disney world to just hand out free food to anyone who shows up at the gates?? You of course need to be staying in a hotel just like the requirement has always been. Just because it’s “free” doesn’t mean rules don’t apply.
Halfway thru and all the new foods are all sugar, where is savory food?
Is Muppet Vison still relocating?
None of these are happening during the time I'm going plus their dining pass NEVER includes food I actually want to eat.
12:30 seventeen forty-five?
HAPPY SATURDAY EVERYONE 🎆 🎇 🧨 🎉 😃 🥳 HOPE EVERYONE HAS A GREAT DAY. Sorry I'm just leaving a comment. The video didn't pop up right away on the home page of UA-cam. Tomorrow is my nephew Clints birthday. He'll be 4 years old
Happy birthday to him 🎉!
@kevinbrown-r9u 🎉🥳
Happy Birthday Clint! 🥳
@Goofarious 🥳
@Goofarious 🥳
Does any of this apply to Disneyland or am I just wasting my time? 😂
There's no such thing as "free" at Disney anymore. You are certainly paying for it in other ways.
2025 yay 😁
NOTHING aim Disney is ever free……
first
