    I was there for rope drop on Monday and I bought Genie+ and realized after that I really didn’t need it.
    Mile’s list was most excellent. 💜

    Love your videos. The crowds at Magic Kingdom just depress me. Growing up near Orlando in the 80s /90s I have such fond memories of no crowds. No planning everything and stressing. My husband calls me spoiled. I’m glad I have those memories, it just doesn’t exist anymore. Live in CO now and went to Magic Kingdom last Oct. It’s just not the same. Still love it will always but, I cherish the past ❤️

    Y’all are masochist!! Italian food in southern humidity after the coconut/pineapple custard extravagance; followed by a slab of carbohydrates slathered with hazelnut butter; then topped it off with those calorie explosions mega cookies. I was born and raised in the southern humidity and that recipe would have put me in a coma… I think I would have opted for the bullet in the head. My favorite part, “this bread is loaded with butter” then proceeds to mop up a heavy cream sauce with it. Y’all know how to vacation!!! Thank you Chris for the video!

    I had to come back and make a quick comment. One interesting thing about the Autopia at Magic Kingdom, for those of us remember going to Disneyland as little kids back in the day, that’s what it was like in Disneyland. I went about 14 years ago to magic kingdom for the first time, and I felt like I was a kid again, standing at the Autopia. I was expecting to look up and see my dad or mom holding my hand. It’s like time traveling to earlier decades when compared to Disneyland. I went again last year with my daughter and now my older son, and it felt really cool to share that ride with them. As my dad shared it with me, I now shared it with my kids.

    Thank You Provost Family!!! You are all wonderful and I appreciate you all!!
    Growing up in South GA, my family vacationed at Disney World many, many times. I'll be visiting Disneyland in California for the first time at 39 years old and I'm super excited to see the differences in person finally!
    I was worried about Matterhorn being so jerky, but hearing it is similar to Florida's space mountain is great because I can definitely handle that!
    Also I'm super excited to see the It's a Small World exterior! It certainly looks so grand in Cali! Makes my heart happy!
    Thank you for sharing your experiences with us! As I've been following many Disney related channels, I absolutely love your channel the most! The History, architecture, hidden treasures, YOUR humor, etc in the parks are my favorite. Food, for me... minor interest. But ya know, we gotta eat and I know some folks just want to see the food! I like that food isn't overwhelming in most of your videos (chorros, clam chowder aside). 😂
    Love love love!!

I recently discovered a new cookie chain called Cookie Plug, not a great name but the cookies are better than most and they are always huge. I read they are making a bunch more stores like 200-300 so you may see them before long.

    THANK YOU! for showing the Enchanted Tiki Room!!! We watch a LOT of Disney bloggers and it almost seems like there is some secret embargo on this attraction. No joke, I haven't seen any video of ETR from any of the major Disney Vloggers in the last 3 years! (probably last videos on it were from the terrible 'under new management' days). It's really a treasure, an attraction with Walt's influence all over it, and deserves more respect. Thanks for highlighting it on your video!

As much as I love the idea of one more visit before I depart this life, I don't think I could stand the current state of things - not to mention the prices!

    @michaelkaulback7264 4 місяці тому

    I was at DL/DCA last week. I feel going in with or without Genie + depends on your goals, and plans for that particular trip. We are Boomers. Some of my first childhood memories are of Disneyland in the late 1950's. Me and my wife just want to hit our favorite rides as many times as humanly possible. To us, the rest of the park is fun but incidental to the rides. Genie + helped me a lot with knowing what rides had what waiting times and let me use Lightning Lanes. It was awesome. Someone else might have a more eclectic approach or want to focus on the shops, food and shows. I think in that case knowing waiting times is not that important. Just go and be spontaneous. When we were Annual Pass holders we did that a lot. However I did find it difficult to get in to a nice, sit-down, restaurant without a reservation which required the app.

    Not sure why you didn't do any Genie or Lightning, but it is a good idea for something you really really want to do, especially when it's crowded. And i believe Tony's is one of the least liked places to eat! Pecos, Columbia or Sleepy Hollow would be better, My favorite foods are Italian, Japanese hibachi and American.

By the way really good video Billy enjoyed it kind of makes me want to do on our last day each family member picks one or two things to do and then we do that for the day and then we go home.
