    How about a video of the "Best Tips and Tricks That No Longer Work (But We Wish They Did)". lol That would be a fun way to remember the old days. Like when they used to have the Disney Magical Express for free, free magic bands with your resort reservation, or fast pass that you could schedule for free weeks before your trip. Definitely gonna miss those.

    100% agree on taking old people!! We always try to have very chill Disney holiday and stay off property anyway so took my grandparents a few years ago. My papa vowed to never visit America (we're Scottish) but came to see what the fuss was. Both my grandparents absolutely adored Disney and florida as a whole, so much so, they are coming with us again in January. Its so special having them there and we have the most beautiful memories and pictures from Disney. Definitely do it!!!

    Our best tip is that you have to make your own decisions instead of relying on the general consensus. Everyone loves Sanaa but we hated it. Everyone hates mama melrose but it was one of our best meals. BOG is constantly trashed by all the experts and it was our absolute favorite dining experience. We had countless times on our trip where we went against the crowd and it worked.

      Think of the My Disney Experience App like a Swiss Army Knife. You don’t necessarily NEED-need it, but - boy - is it a handy tool that can do a LOT of things for you! The biggest thing that you’ll absolutely need the MDE app for is getting in the virtual queues for the new rides (ie: TRON and Cosmic Rewind). Otherwise, you don’t HAVE to have the app if you’re not able to download it. You can stand in line at the fast food locations, wait in the standby queues for the rides, have all your reservation info printed and saved in a safe location, and use physical park tickets instead, etc.

    Could you make a video about how to navigate the parks and restaurants when you have a gluten (or any other ingredient, for that matter) sensitivity or allergy? I just got an AP and I’ve found it very difficult to enjoy many of the snacks. It just sucks to have a Disney day ruined by a reaction.
    I know table service restaurants have allergy menus, but what about the kiosks and booths? I had to wait in a long line the other day just to ask if an item in the booth menu was gluten free because that info wasn’t displayed anywhere.
    Thank you!

    I have a question. I understand the 120 minute rule for booking lightening lanes. What if your first lightening lane fall BEFORE the 120 minutes? Do you get to book the next one as soon as the first one is done? Or do you have to wait 120 minutes?

    • @dfbbreea
      @dfbbreea Місяць тому

      You can book one IMMEDIATELY after! The 120 minute rule is in place so that people can still use the Genie+ service all day long even if their first Lightning Lane return time isn’t until, like, REALLY late in the afternoon/evening. Otherwise, if your return times are a lot sooner than 120 minutes, you can book Lightning Lanes as soon as you’ve used your last one selected!
      EXAMPLE: If you book a LL for Pirates of the Caribbean for 9:30AM, after you scan it, you can make one immediately after for, say, Haunted Mansion. And if the Haunted Mansion return time is for 11AM, once you scan that, you can book ANOTHER Lightning Lane after that! Technically, you can knock out a LOT of Lightning Lanes in a short amount of time by booking the ones that have the SOONEST return times. But if you can’t find any return times that are SUPER soon, that’s when the 120 minute rule comes into play!

    My tip is don't go when it's hot. It diminishes so much about your trip. We went last year in January, and this year in May. It was mid 70s in january, 95+ every single day this past week for our may trip. We found ourselves running out of energy by 5pm each day, where in january we stayed at the parks so late. That heat just destroys you. We found it also made our kids more irritable, and that we couldn't slow down and enjoy anything. In January, we took our time in world showcase, star wars land, etc. But when its a 109 real feel, you simply can't do that. You're too miserable to take it all in. With that said, we had a great trip, but i wont be going in a hot time again.

      Hi! While adults aren’t gonna be able to order kids meals at table service restaurants, the quick services/fast food joints inside the park aren’t strict on who’s getting a kids meal vs who’s getting an adults meal. Think of it like ordering a Happy Meal from Mickey Dee’s - the McD’s employee isn’t gonna question the age of the person ordering the Happy Meal, so ANYONE can get one who wants one!

      You might want to be at the front because it's gentler. I love rollercoasters, but I also have a joint condition that causes chronic pain and mobility issues. Riding at the front of a coaster means that I have longer before I am stuck in a position where existing is agony. Being at the front, whilst slower, makes a day at a theme park more enjoyable for longer

I'm speaking to a large portion of park goers that, for decades, have celebrated the front car as being better, faster and more intense. And like I mentioned in my previous comment, it does offer that unique view/perspective, but more intense it is not, faster it is not, better is a subjective opinion.
