My husband and I had our wedding reception at Epcot’s Italy watching Illumination Fireworks with all of our wedding guests. It’s going to be really hard for us to say goodbye to Illuminations. An amazingly touching fireworks show! 🎆🎇
Aside from your enthusiasm, one of my favourite things about your vlogs, is how you show appreciation for all of your gift cards that you receive, my thanking everyone by name when you use their gifts. Your gratitude is refreshing!
I have the same feelings about Illuminations... It just hits you so close to the heart and it'll be really hard to see it go. The words to "We Go On" are what get me each time. It's such a beautiful show. I have the same emotional feelings at the end of Fantasmic too. Great vlog, Michael!
I absolutely love watching your videos! I found your channel after my husband and I booked a Disney Cruise for 2020. (My 2nd one, his first). Love all your tips for cruising and for the parks. Thank you for bringing your joy to us daily.
"I basically grew up here" - that basically sums it up. My emotional attachment to Disney World was so closely tied into my family that I didn't ever think I could enjoy a Disney trip without them. Now as an adult, I find that there is no better way to recapture my childhood, than by enjoying the parks 😀 Thank you so much for sharing your love for it all!!
You made me cry watching you watch Illuminations! I know how you feel, there is just something about that music! Love to listen to it in the car. I unfortunately won’t get to see it again. Thanks for sharing with us!
My favorite is happily ever after I went 5 out of our 9 nights this summer to see it! I never gets old! So magical! I understand how you feel about illuminations especially since it’s leaving!
What is so neat about your videos, is the fact that since you've been there so many times you don't feel the need the only hit the highlights and you really show people all the things Disney has to offer that they might never see because of the fact that they are just trying to hit the highlights when they go
I cant wait to go in March for the flower and garden. That kobe beef looks amazing. Thank you for the great vlogs and great channel. Love seeing the vlogs and Disney yet again.
I have that same umbrella! Love your videos as always. I watch every day. I get ready for work while watching your videos. So much better than watching the news while I get ready.
Lol, that's awesome that you know where all the cameras are when they are taking the pictures 😆. I love the animals, I have 7 here, lol. I know you had fun. Tfs michael be blessed.😇
Totally agree about Kidani Michael! We stayed there for the first time last October and absolutely love that place! Planning on staying for a week this November again and can't wait! Awesome video as always! Have a magical weekend!
I love that you saw illuminations three times in a row. I feel the same way about Wishes and seeing you take in illuminations over and over, I should’ve done the same with Wishes. Soak it all in Michael😀😍
Micheal, you need to make mote vlogs. They are my absolute favorite. You are literally the best vlogger on the platform and your vlogs make me so happy. Keep up the good work!
I also hadn't ever heard the gibbons making those crazy noises before !! I found out that there is a sound they play to make the gibbons call like that !! If you go back and watch the footage its the lower of the sounds right before they start calling !!!
I cried my eyes out when I saw this show for the last time December 5. If I had been solo on my trip, I would’ve been there every night, same as you, to see it over and over. It is my absolute favorite night time show 🥰🥰
One of my fav vlogs for some reason - I was all smiles and just taking it all in...missing my last adventure and looking forward to the next one :) Your vlogs have gotten sooooo good!
Hi Michael. Just wanted to stop by and say Hi. We are huge Disney fans. Just getting into Disney Trip Vlogging, I really enjoy watching your videos. Love the Aulani especially since that is my vacation goal maybe next year or year after. Thanks so much for taking us along on all your adventures.
I totally get how you feel about Illuminations! I get so emotional when I think about it ending. I have three trips planned this year. I plan to see Illuminations several nights next month, and I will probably see it every night we are the in May. And I'm hoping it sticks around for our trip in September, but I have a feeling it will be gone by Labor Day. 😪😪
I am so glad these videos are here so early in the morning! Makes my day! Thanks for all the info you give us Michael! I am already ready to plan my DisneyWorld adventure. I haven't been in about 5 years. I think it's way past time to go back. That's my next savings plan after my Disney cruise in July. So ready! 176 days to go....
I always have contemplated the same idea, moving to Florida, us living here in VA but my hubby wants to retire in Vegas, so there is always Disneyland!
Love your vlogs, honesty, and optimism! That camera condensation is caused by going from a cold room to a warm humid atmosphere. Once the camera (and usually my sunglasses) warms up above the dew point, the condensation will stop. :)
Great vlog and nice umbrella for Disney adventures. How do you leave a tip using a gift card? Does the restaurant take the full amount off the gift card? Thanks!
I'm shocked that you find a hot dog the best thing to eat at Satu'li Canteen! The bowls are healthy, fresh and delicious. I think the bowls, any combination, are the best quick service meals on property. I find them better than a lot of the table service meals I've eaten at Disney, also. I'm going to miss Illuminations, too!
I'm sad to see Illuminations go; I too have fond memories of it - all the way back to when it first began as part of the Millennium Celebration for the year 2000. But I'm sure the new show will be equally as memorable for today's children who will experience it and cherish it. However, I'm actually super excited for the 'placeholder' show that has been discussed, after they end Illuminations but before the "New Show" is ready - it's said that it will include musical and thematic call backs in the theme of the History of Epcot. So I'm hoping hear music and see images of things I thought I had said good bye to forever, Horizons, the Universe of Energy, Kitchen Cabaret, World of Motion! The very nature of Disney is change, but that's what makes our memories of it so special.
I know this is late, but if you are serious about moving to Florida in living closer to Disney consider celebration. It is so close to Disney that you can drive there within five minutes and you can see the fireworks shows on a clear night from your own house.
This makes me want to go to Animal Kingdom so bad! We went to Disneyland last summer and this spring we're going to DLP but there is only one Animal Kingdom!
I have you Micheal or anyone else within the Kay family: When does a yawn count while you are at your home not your temporary home or lodging if wishing to count it as that. (chuckles).
May I ask how you balance out using the gift cards with using the Dining Plan? I feel like there must be some kind of strategy there. Or do you skip the Dining Plan now and just buy a refillable mug?
What do you think the education level is of the people that perform in the Bird show? Are they veterinarians, zoologists, trainers, etc? It looks like such an awesome job and i have always wondered what path these people took to land such a fun job.
You have the best Disney vlogs by far. I think it is so important for vloggers to feel like friends you can hang out with. I got bullied a lot in school but Disney was a place where I always felt acceptable and actually liked myself. Your videos give that same feeling of happiness and goodness and safety in being who you are and encouraging others to do the same. You're the least judgmental person ever. Your vlogs are set apart because they are not just about Disney, they encompass the essence of Disney. I don't know how you do it but it is...well, vlogging magic! I predict you are going to go far in the Disney-Sphere. You must have been doused in pixie dust at birth!
Everest: You are nuts, why when your by yourself, you don't use the single rider line, unless you did and the line was just that long. I can wait 5-10 min at the most and ride 2-3 times back to back.
You don’t get them free with your stay they cost $18.99+tax and free refills at any resort for the length of your stay up to 10 days I believe. You only get them free if you have a dining plan. They are great if you are going to be around any of the resorts a lot
Dinosaur is definitely not good for young kids. My 4yr old son who loves dinosaurs and has seen all of the jurassic park movies was terrified. I felt so bad taking him on dinosaur
Back when Mike still had the magic in him!
My husband and I had our wedding reception at Epcot’s Italy watching Illumination Fireworks with all of our wedding guests. It’s going to be really hard for us to say goodbye to Illuminations. An amazingly touching fireworks show! 🎆🎇
My kids LOVE bibo! The vlogs are awesome as usual! Thank you :)
Aside from your enthusiasm, one of my favourite things about your vlogs, is how you show appreciation for all of your gift cards that you receive, my thanking everyone by name when you use their gifts. Your gratitude is refreshing!
Of course! It means so much!
Thanks for sharing 🤗 I miss EPCOT so much..... good call doing safari first thing in the morning..... only other better time is when it's raining ☔️
Min. 20:50 with Rob Plays and Ivy Winter!
What a nice surprise ❤️👍🏼
Thank you for the vlog, it makes me feel I’m just there...
I have the same feelings about Illuminations... It just hits you so close to the heart and it'll be really hard to see it go. The words to "We Go On" are what get me each time. It's such a beautiful show. I have the same emotional feelings at the end of Fantasmic too. Great vlog, Michael!
Great vlog. Keep up the great work Michael.😀❤️
So fun that you bumped into Rob and Christine. :-) Small World Too cute
Love the shirt in the thumbnail Michael! Just showed my kids and they're delighted!
Regards from the McDonalds in Ireland
Loving the transitions

Going to Epcot every day and night is tottally ok! Its so beautiful and seeing Illuminations is so magical! 💖💖💖
My favorite is happily ever after I went 5 out of our 9 nights this summer to see it! I never gets old! So magical! I understand how you feel about illuminations especially since it’s leaving!

Awe yay! I’m so glad you and Rob got to meet! ✨
DINOSAUR 😍, Night Blossom😍, and Illuminations😍! What a day!
The opening song sounds like warning by Green Day! I’m loving the vlogs!
Lol, that's awesome that you know where all the cameras are when they are taking the pictures 😆. I love the animals, I have 7 here, lol. I know you had fun. Tfs michael be blessed.😇
Never saw the birds show. It was great. Ty
Love the VLOGS Michael as always ❤️ we’re glad u love that umbrella .
Oh my gosh that “birds flying towards you” shot was amazing!
Totally agree about Kidani Michael! We stayed there for the first time last October and absolutely love that place! Planning on staying for a week this November again and can't wait! Awesome video as always! Have a magical weekend!
You are a pleasure to watch, Michael. Always enjoy :)
I love that you saw illuminations three times in a row. I feel the same way about Wishes and seeing you take in illuminations over and over, I should’ve done the same with Wishes. Soak it all in Michael😀😍
Always joyful! Love it!
Thanks for giving me my disney fix!
Micheal, you need to make mote vlogs. They are my absolute favorite. You are literally the best vlogger on the platform and your vlogs make me so happy. Keep up the good work!
I love yak and yeti, and I love their potstickers even more!!!
My mouth is watering thinking about that Burger. Excellent video as usual....
I also hadn't ever heard the gibbons making those crazy noises before !! I found out that there is a sound they play to make the gibbons call like that !! If you go back and watch the footage its the lower of the sounds right before they start calling !!!
We LOVE Kidani Village! It was our first Disney resort, and it's my absolute favorite.
I cried my eyes out when I saw this show for the last time December 5. If I had been solo on my trip, I would’ve been there every night, same as you, to see it over and over. It is my absolute favorite night time show 🥰🥰

Just found you r channel.. actually found it from your cruise in December but I’m glad I did
That burger looked awesome. And seeing Illuminations 3 times is OK! Catch it all you want before it goes!
Yep! You should move here to Florida, we did and love it! Just imagine Disney whenever you desire!
I am so glad these videos are here so early in the morning! Makes my day! Thanks for all the info you give us Michael! I am already ready to plan my DisneyWorld adventure. I haven't been in about 5 years. I think it's way past time to go back. That's my next savings plan after my Disney cruise in July. So ready! 176 days to go....
Animal Kingdom is my absolute FAVORITE park! And AKL is my favorite resort - I was able to stay there a few years ago and now I'm spoiled!
Very cool...loved that McCaw slow-mo shot
Another wonderful video! ♥️
I love this! I felt like I was having lunch with you at Yak and Yeti. Lol. I love that place!
I'm going to have to try that burger now.
Yes Michael, come join us in the sunshine state! MWAAHAHAHAHAH
SCHOOL BREAD!!! You should have got the school bread!!!
I always have contemplated the same idea, moving to Florida, us living here in VA but my hubby wants to retire in Vegas, so there is always Disneyland!
Have you ever eaten at Flametree BBQ at AK? It’s my absolute favorite restaurant at that park! 😊
Love your vlogs, honesty, and optimism!
That camera condensation is caused by going from a cold room to a warm humid atmosphere. Once the camera (and usually my sunglasses) warms up above the dew point, the condensation will stop. :)
So cool you ran into Rob & Ivy Winters. Love the picture of you guys on the people mover.
I don’t know who I would talk to more.
Probably you Michael.
Rob and Christine!!
once i clicked the video i was thinking i bet he's doing Illuminations again lol
My fav thing at Yak and Yeti is the Korean beef! Soooooooo good.
Michael move here we love it.
We found that photo spot last year and loved. I liked it better than than the bridge shot
Great vlog and nice umbrella for Disney adventures. How do you leave a tip using a gift card? Does the restaurant take the full amount off the gift card? Thanks!

I wore that stitch tie when I got married at Epcot in the Italy pavilion in September.
You should move there! Would be so fun!!
Michael, you are officially my favorite Disney UA-camr. You truly have a special gift for sharing the magic!.❤️ 🐭
I totally agree!
Thank you, Michael, for another GREAT VLOG and taking us with you! Are you glad you opted out of mousekeeping?
Rewatching vlogs, and he’s moving to Florida!
Just wanted to make sure you knew there's a singe rider line for Everest!!
Batman Statue Collector I stood in it 👍
3:05 Stop making me yawn! ;)
Michael! When will you do your next Q&A? Your channel has been doing so well lately and I know so many people have questions for you!
Tomorrow morning at 11am 👍
once galaxy edge opens flight of passage will be shorter line cause everyone will want to pilot the mellenium falcon
That is how I felt when they took out the Snow white ride. Its heartbreaking,
I have you Micheal or anyone else within the Kay family: When does a yawn count while you are at your home not your temporary home or lodging if wishing to count it as that. (chuckles).
May I ask how you balance out using the gift cards with using the Dining Plan? I feel like there must be some kind of strategy there. Or do you skip the Dining Plan now and just buy a refillable mug?
What camera did you use for the ride? Did you also use a gorilla pod? I thought they may say something if I use a camera during a ride.
What do you think the education level is of the people that perform in the Bird show? Are they veterinarians, zoologists, trainers, etc? It looks like such an awesome job and i have always wondered what path these people took to land such a fun job.
Where do you think the best viewing for Illuminations is?
You have the best Disney vlogs by far. I think it is so important for vloggers to feel like friends you can hang out with.

Satuuli Canteen is by far the best quick serve on property.... get a beef bowl and get back to me.
Everest: You are nuts, why when your by yourself, you don't use the single rider line, unless you did and the line was just that long. I can wait 5-10 min at the most and ride 2-3 times back to back.
I’m a recent subscriber and I’ve noticed last 2 vlogs you refill your plastic cup. Is that a cup you can buy for a one time price with free refills?
Joy Melita you get them free with your resort stay
Ah very good to know thank you
You don’t get them free with your stay they cost $18.99+tax and free refills at any resort for the length of your stay up to 10 days I believe. You only get them free if you have a dining plan. They are great if you are going to be around any of the resorts a lot
Dinosaur is definitely not good for young kids. My 4yr old son who loves dinosaurs and has seen all of the jurassic park movies was terrified. I felt so bad taking him on dinosaur
Like if Michael is far better than TimTracker
