![ПОЛНАЯ ИСТОРИЯ ЭКЗОРЦИЗМА [Топ Сикрет]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/qBySr6Bt0B8/mqdefault.jpg)
The best thing I've bought were the ticket to Mickey's Christmas Party. I'll never forget my mom's face when she danced with Prince Phillip, fulfilling her life-long dream, it was the happiest I ever saw her.
That’s awesome!!
That’s so sweet 🥰
That is so sweet!
Shu my life long dream haha
That is the cutest thing ever🥺
As a professional photographer I’m here to tell you, Memory Maker is NOT expensive for what you get. It’s a THOUSAND TIMES WORTH IT!! Get it, you absolutely won’t regret it at all!
Do you think it will still be worth it, even though you have to keep your masks on for all pictures?
@@nathanielestrada8829 absolutely!! We have used it both in September and again in February. It may not be ideal but this is life right now. Why wouldn’t I want to document it the way it is? We won’t always be living in a pandemic and hopefully we will see things return to some normalcy soon. But, yeah, still totally worth it.
It’s worth the $169 I paid! Unlimited photos in all parks with ride photos?! Not expensive at all! Plus the photographers added special touches to them. Will buy again and again!
I agree! We were able to get a picture as the park was closing right in front of the castle where literally nobody else was in the photo except us. It was literally like we had rented out the entire park just for us so that we were the only ones in the picture! What that photographer was able to capture was literally ✨MAGIC✨
@@glorygracek.1841 No per day for the group. If it's 3 days or more, it's only $199 for the entire trip.
So when I was younger my mom got me Elsa’s dress at the boutique and I wore it to Hollywood studios on the first day of frozen summer fun. When we got to the park a cast member asked if I wanted to be apart of a parade. Best purchase ever!!!
Yes that is awesome that happened to me and my kids when we went to Disney two girls got the princess boutique and my three sons so the pirate one it was awesome they got to be part of the parade and meet there favorite characters that was one of the best trips ever and my sister got engaged on that trip as well.
That’s amazing! My absolute dream! I can’t believe that actually happened to you! Congratulations! And yes, I am a girl, not a boy wanted to be a princess in a parade
Going to the princess boutique has always been my dream... That's adorable
@@jessicagingrich4507 That is truly magical ✨
@@nikkinorman4254 it was truly amazing
My husband and I always buy a beach towel for every visit. They are a very usable and unique souvenir and are not too terribly expensive. My favorite one has the castle on it and says “the most magical place on earth”
That’s smart 🤔
Great idea! That’s unique
Refillable anything!!! After one day of paying for coffees, pops and waters we bought a refillable resort cup! It was our honeymoon, and when we went to pay the food court manager was ringing us though. She said they were on the house, and to wait there! She came back with a small assortment of cupcakes and many congratulations!! Best! Day! Ever!!! 🧁🧁🧁🧁🧁
These are all so true. I especially LOVE the memory maker package
What a lovely memory 😍
Awwww that reminds me of a similar experience with cupcakes that happened to me back in 2018. My mom and I had spent a huge portion of the trip sick in the room with the flu (it was hands down the worst trip we've ever had in 30 years!), and my mom still had a bad lingering cough by the end of the trip.
We were driving home the next day with an overnight stop halfway home, so I bought some nighttime cough medicine from the Screen Door at Boardwalk so we could sleep and drive safely.
The cast member ringing me up saw the cough medicine and said, "Uh oh, looks like somebody's got the icky creepy crawlies." and I told him the whole story. He was really sympathetic, and told me, "I think we have just the right thing to help you and your mom feel better on the way home as soon as I finish ringing you up here."
After he finished he led me over to the bakery case and told me to pick out two cupcakes, one for me and one for my mom. Then he boxed them up and handed them to me, saying "This is a 'we're sorry you were sick during your vacation'!". Pretty notable given how expensive those cupcakes are!
That’s awesome! Y’all must have been wearing buttons! Congrats!
Yes, Yes, Yes -- Lightsaber building is a definite MUST. I'll never forget lighting my saber and feeling SO PROUD. As someone who was there in line during the FIRST Star Wars movie years ago, having my own lightsaber will be a forever memory.
every time my credit card bill. comes in the mail I remember my trip
@@lorikehler8285 ok that’s the best reply to anyone I have ever seen
How do you get it home tho it wouldn’t fit in a suit case and it’s really expensive to ship it
That's actually really cool❤
@@Ccc_b124I live in Florida but I'd probably pay to ship it.
My fav souvenirs are boring household items I got fun Disney versions of. An $8 simple/chic Mickey head bottle opener, reusable grocery bags, dish towels, acrylic salt and pepper shakers, spatulas, an apron, compact mirror, highlighters, notepads, etc.
I love these too , they are so cute !
Totally agree! My favorite is my Mickey hand spoon rest😍
Agreed! !!
Yes! Recently bought a Mickey And Minnie themed measuring cup and baking tools and do not regret anything!
Having a savanna view room is epic. Being able to see African animals roam freely from your room during the day and at night is quite an awesome experience
Yes my aunt is a travel agent and we got the coolest experience in that room
agreed! we had a partial savannah view when I first stayed at AKL and it was THE BEST.
We stayed at Animal Kingdom Lodge with our girls (5 & 2) in 2000 and woke up to giraffes grazing on greens attached to tree branches near our balcony! We loved it!
We were disappointed when we checked in and realized we were at the furthest room out right next to the end of the fence. We were sure no animals would venture that far to the corner of the area. The next morning we opened the curtain to see a ton of animals milling around and some water buffalos (?) fighting. Turns out our room was right next to the gate where breakfast came through every morning. It was awesome.
I see you everywhere
When she was taking about the barber shop i immediately broke out in laughter. A couple times ago when I was in Disney, my dad really needed a haircut and so my mom made him get a haircut in the barbershop 😂
Lol how was the haircut
@@janeorlando2893 I year later and we still don’t know
As a physically handicapped person with multiple auto-immune diseases, I spend a lot of time at my resort, so I never regret getting a hotel and room upgrade!!! Other must-haves every trip: refillable mugs, a sweater, a mug, a themed isolated water bottle, a pluche & a Magic Band 🔆
How do you visit the grounds at.the parks?
My ex took us all and you can rent scooters too, plus they arrange your seating inside and allow you to do many more rides
What's a pluche?
At the airport waiting for my flight to Orlando for our WDW honeymoon. I’m already ready to buy everything!! 😂
Congratulations
Congrats! Disney is the best honeymoon location!
Congratulations! Have a fab time xx
Congrats! Have fun!
Congratulations to you both! God bless! 🤍💍🤍
I bought the giant stitch.
I need nothing more in my life.
Same and I totally AGREE! :)
@@chesyyyyy sammeee
I don’t need food.... I don’t need toilet paper.... the only thing that’ll get me through quarantine is my giant stitch plush lol
@@ryeguy2256 Yes it is true
I’ve had mine for 4+ years now!! Absolutely love him!!
if you're two separate families going together purchase the photo pass memory maker and you can link your reservations to each other. That's what we did when we went.
Okay, so last time I was in Disney I bought a droid. That night I couldn’t stop smiling. The droid still sits in my closet, but I do not regret buying it AT ALL. It was the coolest experience.
It brings you joy! Marie Condo can suck it! 😂❤️😂 Love your attitude! I was unhappy with my wand purchase at Universal, if and when we go back I’m totally buying a new one, no regrets! 😝
@@ProudPapaJD yeah, I honestly love my droid. I might not use it as much as I want, but everytime I think of it it being back great memories or being soaked from the rain and all of a sudden being in line to build my own droid at 10 o clock at night. It was one of the most magical experiences I’ve ever done, and for me it really made the trip. The funniest part of it all was having to carry it through the Orlando airport to get it back home. It wouldn’t fit in my bag, so I had to tie it up in my sweatshirt and just carry it. 😂 I will forever love and cherish my droid, and I hope someday when I have kids I can share it with them, or even be able to have them make their own in Disney World.
It nice when you buy things with no regrets
@@katehart4314 haha i got mine in a downpour too! I have a similar airport memory. i love mine too it was a great experience
I bought a pair of Minnie ears and the photo pass since it was my two year old daughter's first visit at Disney and I wanted to capture those moments when she ran to the characters. Those moments were priceless
after our last trip, I had almost 400 pictures taken by park photographers. Well worth the money and I can be in the pictures
And. I. Can. Be. In. Every. Picture! This is worth every single penny. People always asked me if I even went on trips before photo pass, now I get to be a part of the memories too!
Wow thats good, even I don't take these many in one day
“What is the best thing you have ever bought at Disney.”
Me: “Um, a giant stitch stuffed animal, don’t judge me.”
Aww that would look so cute!
@@UA-cams_NPC it is! I still sleep with it every night
I did the same thing!
Same though!!!
I love stitch he’s my favorite Disney character I can not blame you for something I would buy haha
“You won’t regret buying a poncho” **laughs in Alaskan sweltering in the heat** the rain is sweet relief for me lol!
The sad thing is the rain makes the heat worse after it stops
I never regret buying a corn dog, clam chowder in the bread bowl and beignets. I especially don’t regret buying pins
I have a collection of pins, one is of Chip and Dale, it pins inside a shirt pocket so they appear to be riding in the pocket and peering over the edge, always an "ice breaker".
it doesn't get talked about much but you can buy individual photos you don't have to buy the entire Memory Maker it's a lot cheaper
This is a GREAT tip!
Sometimes it’s cheaper depending on party size and the number you want
Yes Amber it is a case-by-case basis. if you want a hundred different pictures then yes you're correct its not worth it to buy individual pictures but if you only want a couple good pictures then this is the way to go
@@madhatter4743 I agree with you. We got it for our group and the amount of pictures we got the first day paid off the amount of Memory Maker.
Wow I thought they took this away!! How do you do this??
I know this is my fourth comment, but the good thing about buying Minnie ears, is that every time I go back, I bring all my ears. So as I go I have more and more to wear to match with outfits.
I only have a few pairs that I got for $5 or less at the outlet :) I need them all 😂😂
@@LifeWithMrsB yes, I love having matching ears with all my outfits
I have two pairs, I really want more. I keep finding that there's stuff I actually want to buy and hate it XD
@@pisces_gf 😂 so relatable
If you’re a geek the lightsabers and droids are never a wash. Our lightsabers will be mounted on our walls, and the droids are a blast to drive around. There are even groups dedicated to customizing your droids even more.
That lightsaber experience is amazing!
One very amazing tip- if you’re already in Orlando make sure you stop by the Disney character Warehouse which is their liquidation store and has so many things that were sold at the park at a discounted price like the magic bands that you can use whenever you go. I got mine for $8
Omg this is a real
Place?!? Discounted Disney?! Awesome!! I WILL definitely stop by and stock up! Oh I’m so excited! Thank you for an awesome comment!
@@bunidoll you’re very welcome! If you go any time soon they have the Christmas stuff on sale- may occasionally find ornaments for $10 or less! Last year I got the Santa Mickey loungefly backpack for only $35! This store is a must for a discounted Disney souvenir!
It’s a great place to get previous special items too
Where is this store?
I am so going back to Disney when things calm down. I still remember getting the classic Mickey ears with your name sewn on from my mom when I was eight. And I intend on getting those ears again.
I tell anyone who will listen (and some that won't.. ;) ) that the First Haircut package is the best $25 you will spend at WDW.
^^^^ this.
No question. We did firsts and many after. It’s just fun!
I bought a jacket four years ago that I wore every day for two years before I had to replace it because it was worn out! So I went back and bought the exact same sweatshirt that I still wear every day😂
i definitely dont regret buying my giant winnie the pooh plush, its so soft snd i sleep with it every night
Awww I agree! I got the Eeyore pillow pet and absolutely ADORE it!! 🥰
Yes i agree, i have a dumbo plush that i got that i sleep with.
Did you have to fly with it or drive ? I want a Winnie the pooh plushie but im flying in from out of state and im worried about not being able to take him back home 😭
@@Emily-Christine i flew! i carried him on, and was fine! i got the large big feet plush (so his head and feet are huge) and put him in my carry on roller, but i could have also put him in my bag i checked. i think you'll be okay if you do either!!
I bought a Disney tote bag in 2000. I still have it. It still zips and has no splits at the seams. I probably paid $20 for it. Best souvenir I've ever bought.
I'm 46 and I've never been to Disney. I want to go but lots of things hold me back. I live vicariously through DFB and it's as if I've been there. Thanks!
I totally relate with the “living vicariously through DFB” part, I’ve never been and I really want to go 🥺
I’m 54 and I’m going for the first time in January. I’m talking my 19&20 year old daughters with me.
I live in canada & on a low fixed income- at 35 i have wanted to go since i was 5... been my one & only dream... will never go eather... but watch all these & live streams
@@v8mom Enjoy enjoy Enjoy
It’s time for you to go. Even solo, it is awesome!
We always get the memory maker pass it’s worth every penny to me. I print a lot of those photos and even have our family holding Rapunzel’s lantern on a huge canvas in our dining room. For a photo crazy person like me who has albums and albums for my kids to look back on, it’s a must have.
Do you have to buy one for each person in your group or just one?
@@jessicatrawick7379 just one I think, I went 2 years ago and bought it and me, my sister, and my mom were able to scan our magic bands to get the photos
A family friend of ours every year sends us Disney Christmas presents and every year is a new holiday ornament and I’ve receiving them since I was about 10 and they became one of my favorite gifts ever since
I bought a D&B purse for my 50th birthday and still LOVE and use it daily almost 7 years later. YES it was crazy expensive but $300 for 7 years of daily pleasure is cheap overall😍
The big popcorn cups have lasted for years. We always use them for big drinks on a hot day or bath toys for the kids
The two things that i use everyday are my Disney kitchenware (bowls, mugs, etc) and my loungefly backpack since i use it as a purse.
Also, I bet that the Christmas and Halloween parties are AMAZING. But for my family, we much preferred to go to THE OTHER PARKS. And do the extra magic hours while everyone is at the party. Extra magic hours are great as is, but they are even better when half of the people in the whole place are at the Christmas party in magic kingdom, and you are in Hollywood studios, pretty much walking on to rides.
Love it!
@@ProudPapaJD 😂 I also put three other comments about my experiences, go check them out if you want 😂
Kate Hart Oh I saw them all! Good stuff!
@@ProudPapaJD thanks! I put a lot of thinking into my Disney Trips!
I’m a huge SW fan as well as Disney, however last year I was hesitant about Savis Sabers. I then caved & built one & loved the whole experience & my saber souvenir! So happy I ended up doing it & would do it again!
Still wearing some things I bought there 15 years ago.
We did an after hours event and it was so so worth it!
My husband and I did slso, so worth it.
Hoping the afternoon tea is back in March when my daughter and I go. I always buy a dated ornament when we visit. Love remembering our trips as I put them on our Christmas tree each year.
Always love the Christmas ornaments. Yes, they're expensive but the detail and imagination behind them is exceptional. My family and I love putting them on the tree and reiminiscing about our Disney trips.
Curse you AJ and this pandemic! I’m now reminiscing about our possibly once in a lifetime trip last November and losing it over here! I’m fine, this is fine, deep breaths....
My sisters initials are AJ lolll
I bought my ears in 2015 and I bring them out every Disney trip and always get compliments bc they don’t make the style anymore! it’s always exciting when I get to bring out my ears to pack them 🥺
Which ears do you have?
"Mickey's not so Scary Halloween Party" is always a good choice. Smaller crowds, special parade & fireworks & castle show, special events-Tomorrowland dance party, special food, special popcorn bucket, characters in special costumes, you get to wear a costume. I think that's it. Hey DFB Fall 2019 I scored FPs for Haunted Mansion @ 5pm on MNSSHP day! That's pretty much the only way to ride it on a Halloween party night.
Surprisingly from our 2003 Disney Trip (my first ever visit) the best souvenir was a fridge magnet. It’s been on our fridge for 17 years now and it always reminds me of that Disney magic I felt when I was 8
My husband and son bought their magic bands on ebay. They got a steamboat Willie and baby Yoda respectively and barely paid over $20 for each
Please excuse me if this is a stupid question, but in other videos AJ has said all of your info is on your magic band. So if you buy a band off of eBay, how do you get your info onto the secondhand bands you buy?
@@NoDontLikeIt I don't know for sure. I would assume you would go into the MyDisneyExperience app and remove the magic band from your account. But thats just a guess.
@@NoDontLikeIt Its not the band that has all the info, but the middle part which can be removed and placed into any magic band.
@@1bigbeatlesfan thanks for the info.
Ohh thank you for the awesome idea!! Going to go look now!
I got Mickey mugs with our names on them for everyone in my family when I was there in 1985 and I still use mine every day!
Can’t usually afford to splurge much but the BE our Guest restaurant is an excellent place to splurge at dinner time it was amazing and I was so glad that we did it.
Upgrading to the theme park view at Contemporary and water view rooms at yacht club are always worth it to me! Love to sit on the balcony with a water view at yacht club, it just feels so special and perfect for those more “relaxing” trips!
The best thing that my family and I bought was a VIP tour. It is very expensive but it was so worth it. You get personally escorted around Disney World and your tour guide will drive you from park to park. You get to skip all of the lines and can even ride the same ride twice in a row. It was probably one of the best experiences of my life. Highly highly recommend it.
how many people and what price?
That would be the only thing i would do if i won big.... i would still stay at Art of Animation and do everything else a normal person would but going everywhere and doing what I want when I want would be the ultimate thing
@@couchcrew8658 website says $850/hr, so for a whole day experience say 9am to 9pm would be $10,200 for the day for a person.
@@lijohnyoutube101 jesus
My boys got book bags at MK and they used them for school that year and still pack them up for over night trips to grandma's. Very durable and great quality. They were $19 with a $40 purchase so we got our ears to qualify. Such a great memory! Never regret it.
I know those ponchos are way expensive, but last time I went the quality was much better than previous trips! I was able to not rip it (happened all the time before) and actually take it home! I plan to bring it on my next trip (fingers crossed for next September!)
AJ, I love you and your voice!! You ALWAYS make me smile every day when I listen to you.
Same here! 😁
My granddaughter still talks about her two trips to the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique almost 15 years ago. Worth every penny
I would add one of those Mickey hand water bottle holders. You can never stay hydrated enough at Disney and it gives you the option of carrying around a bottle easily that you can refill
I was there last week and splurged for dinner at Morimoto Asia! I got the A5 Wagyu (3 oz. minimum) and it was soooo good!
Amazing restaurant and atmosphere and service ❤️❤️
The last time I was there, I collected smashed pennies. Cheap way to get something of an area or ride I really liked.
One of the best things I bought was a Cinderella Castle ornament; I look forward to seeing it on the tree every Christmas.
I got my sisters personalized mugs in Magic Kingdom in 1996 and they still use them!
I absolutely do not regret my lightsaber from Savi's - it really was an incredible experience, and every time I look at it displayed at home I smile. Was there sticker shock? Yes, but I saved and planned for it - that was my "big souvenir" from Disney. And, as a huge Star Wars fan I would have been heartbroken if I hadn't been able to get a reservation for it.
The other thing I don't regret, for different reasons, is the Disney Dining Plan. No, based on strict credit-counting, I probably didn't save money with it, but, it was just so nice to be able to sit down to a restaurant and not have to worry about if we were going over budget; it let us try restaurants like Homecomin' and Be Our Guest, that we would have steered away from otherwise due to feeling we couldn't afford them. Everything except tip was paid for in advance, so we could just sit down and enjoy our meals.
I think the best value is the Memory Maker, esp. if you're solo. I also think the best deal at the parks is the lockers! Especially if you plan on being there right through to the fireworks. You're not packing things around, the warmer/dry clothes are there when you need them and you can really pack a lot into them. I think one of my best memories is the moment you know that it's too late in the day to ride any more water rides. You go to the locker and get your dry clothes...they're so warm and dry and you just feel so good when you get changed.
We loved doing the pressed pennies. Compared to other souvenirs they are way less expensive even after we bought the book. It was fun looking out for a press and it kept my son entertained and from begging for more expensive things everywhere we went. Now he has a memory book with pennies that remind him of all the parts of each park we visited.
Both my boys had their first hair cut at the Harmony Barbershop and it was an amazing experience. Recommend it to everyone I know.
We had a great memory on the trip we splurged for the Star Wars Dessert party. It was a special night for a star wars fan.
My biggest no regret product buy is a spirit jersey, I buy one every time I go and spirit jerseys are almost exclusively my winter wardrobe 🤣
Upgrading your room at the Yacht club to the boardwalk/lake view is awesome. At night time the boardwalk is lit up and its a great view form your room
My personal favorite things to buy are Plushies or ears. Plushies bring me so much stress relief and I love them. Ears are cool to collect, and you can bring them with you on yir trip and as your collection grows, you have more to pair with outfits! And honestley, the mini backpacks they have are cute, it's just that in my opinion they're really expensive.
I use every mug, tumbler and drink cup I’ve ever gotten. Great buys.
When they had the Captain Ero attraction I had gotten all of the charcters from that show and I still have them all. We had them shipped straight to our home from Disney World and they were waiting for us when we arrived at our home. Best money we ever spent on straight to home from Disney World
Today marks exactly 4 years since the last time I went to Disney so today is my Disney Day
I got myself the Indiana Jones hat. Now, normally it might be cringy to see someone wear that, but I live in the country so it is really nice to wear in the fall and winter. It is warm and perfect for me!
a few years ago when we were at Disney it started pouring but we had forgottenf our rain gear at the hotel we decided to stay and splurge for the ponchos. all of the rides had super short lines and tower of terror was so much fun to do in the rain. we ate dinner during the time it was thundering and got to ride so many rides that we probably would have missed out on if we hadn't stayed. We still have the ponchos and it was the tower of terror in the rain is still one of my fondest memories of Disney.
Savanna view room, build your own lightsabers, OBVIOUSLY ear headbands, Memory Maker.... but the one that I was so happy I did and definitely plan on doing again was surprising my husband with the Star Wars dessert party on our honeymoon! The dessert party was amazing, characters were walking around, no line to get pictures with other characters, and so much food! I definitely would suggest a light dinner (or no dinner at all) if you are planning on doing one of these but it was well worth the money! I'm hoping they bring them back soon because we can't wait to do it again.
My driod was the best $100 I ever spend he can even watch movies and recognize characters they actually speak English with a thick mechanical accent
I got a very classic pair of Minnie ears- black sequin base with red sequin bow. There were other ones that looked appealing, but I know these will never go out of style, and they’re not specific to a particular Disney park, like zebra ears, for example. I have saved them to wear the next time I’m at Disney. It’s one of the few purchases I suggest buying before or the first day so you have the most use out of them.
Preferred room, photopass, park hopper, and dessert party team here!! Got all of them on our first trip back in March and they were so worth it!
My wife and I bought the last sculpture of Simba and Nala cuddling sculpture at Epcot and it sits on our dresser where we see it every day
I always buy 3 beach towels. One for each of us to use at the pool. They last for years, and we use them everyday at home. We have quite the collection now!
I really appreciate how fast she speaks. Usually I speed up the videos I watch
I’ve never ever regretted buying ears. I bough the Stitch ears hat and the castle glitter ear headband
Room upgrades, seasonal merch and refillable anything are all worth it! Depending on what you geek out on then that's obliviously worth it. I'm a big star wars fan and loved making the lightsaber and droid. Like you said if you aren't a huge fan on that then maybe skip it. Everyone goes to Disney for a reason and everyone has a favorite Disney thing to splurge on.
Still have my Disney sweatshirt from 2013 with Hollywood Studios Mickey Sorcerers hat on it and also a newer one from last year. But have my magic band from 2018 girls trip these are special to me
We actually have a few Disney paintings in our house
We got a Peter Pan one
A beauty and the beast one
And a lion king one (the lion king painting is in my bedroom, since it’s my favorite Disney movie)
Omg, I have Lion King in my bedroom, too.
Memory maker was the greatest thing my family ever did for our trip we had so much fun taking photos together or venturing off on our own
The photo pass was VERY WORTH IT for what we paid!!!! We got every single ride photo, AND RIDE VIDEOS, and also there's places to stop for photos all over the park. It was so nice to have all those photos!!!
The best thing I bought at WDW was a tour, the Marcelline to Magic Kingdom tour, for my husband as a Father’s Day gift. It was 3 hours of trivia and history and backstage secrets, all about how Walt Disney’s magic evolved. We were enthralled the entire time. It wasn’t a super expensive add-on, we got to see aspects of the park we had never known or had access to, and it was a wonderful memory. They’re probably not running those tours right now, but when they come back, I highly recommend them.
On my birthday last year, the first time I had been to the park in ten years, I splurged on After Hours tickets. At $125 (on top of your regular park ticket, for just a few extra hours in the park?!), it was a bananas choice... And the best, most fun night EVER. The park was essentially empty, and I rode Space Mountain six times--the only "wait" being the time it took to run through the queue! I only stopped because my partner at the time was starting to feel sick, hah! Walking around an almost spookily empty (in a fun way!) MK in the dark is a memory I'll never forget. ...Oh, they also ran the tea cups just for us!!! ...!!! I had bought the ticket because so many people had written online about how worth it the price tag was, but I thought there was no way... Well, it exceeded expectations! I can't wait to go again when the world is back to normal. (Also, all-you-can-eat Mickey bars are included in that $125.)
I agree! We were able to ride Flight of the Avatar and Expedition Everest several times that night and we arrived an hour late. So worth the money.
My mom took all kids and grandkids to the parks with what she got when my dad passed on. She did the room welcome. I had toddlers totally into pirates ( it was like 2013 i believe) it was anazing to just watch them be so happy and excited after losing grandpa. It was like he was there i think they had discussed it. It was pretty special and a great way to be happy and remember him.( He had been taking all us kids there since we were little, he was a pretty great dad)
i would put spirit jerseys in their own category; i legit wear mine year around and it's still one of the comfiest sweatshirts I own. It also has the limited editions styles, so if you see one you like, you do have to jump on it
Hey AJ! My and my friends are at Disney for the week. Love watching your video to prep for our trips, but I also love watching your video but they just make me so happy.
I hope they do bring back the Hoop-De-Doo Review cast! That show holds a special place in both heart and memory for me (one of my adopted uncles was a part of the cast years ago!), and I'm hoping to go back to Disney soon to do a late-celebration of my 50th birthday. (Would be epic if I did it during the 50th Anniversary of the WDW Park right?)
Also, One thing I've never regretted purchasing are PINS! As I'm a huge fan of Tinkerbell, I've made it a point to always buy (or have a relative that's going to the parks to buy for me) a unique pin featuring our favorite Fairy!
Do the segway tour at Fort Wilderness! You won’t regret it! 😍
I like theme park views especially in the holiday season because on a cool damp night you can hear them practicing their parades and shows in the Magic kingdom also you can see the steam from the train in the morning. I also did a in room event once for my wife for her birthday. Back stage tour is great too.
I bought a vera bradley tote bag when I went to Disney land for their 60th anniversary. I love that bag and used it as a " teacher" bag when I was teaching. Super sturdy and still in use. It has lots of hidden mickeys in the fabric.
Special events for Halloween, Valentine's Day, Avengers, 90's etc are the best. There are more characters and rare ones too. I love it.
Well I regret not being able to watch all of the videos you posted! I have some binge watching to do now
also, if you’ve bought a Disney poncho try to save it and bring it back next time you go! I have a tiny rip in my 2 y/o Disney poncho and they replaced it for free!
Both of our kids had their first haircut at the disney barber shop! They don’t remember much, but they remember that experience! Take video and lots of pics
I bought a Buzz Lightyrar toy about 13 or so years ago and I still love it. I especially enjoy things like kitchen towels and my favorite Mickey apron because they are daily reminders that the magic doesn’t have to stop when I get home.
AJ, your voice is a song of hope and happiness. Thank you
I bought a haunted mansion Mickey 12 years ago for my son. I’m glad I did because I never saw one again.Building a Mr. Potato head in Disney springs is really fun too. My kids still have the potato and all the Disney parts 12 years later.We are planning on reusing our customized magic bands on our next trip.
