Can you do a full video about the mocktails at Disneyworld please?
Yes!! We are alcohol free due to medical issues. And I’d love to still get to go to the bars but not get alcohol
Great idea!
That would be so awesome!
Pregnant women would love this
Omg yes
Going alone to Disney is what started my love for the parks!
We went to Disney World, when my wife was 7 months pregnant with our first child, and it was one of the most enjoyable, pre-children, trips of our life’s, and we just enjoyed sitting on a bench people watching! 😊
I really hope people aren't afraid to ask questions like this! Disney is supposed to be fun, and having more information will only benefit you!
They are, especially on trip advisor. The arrogance just oozes out of the “Disney experts” who’d rather just correct & be condescending to you rather than help.
I don’t understand the mentality personally, if you’re in a position to help someone then great! But a lot seem to want to pick apart your question and tell you to “Do your research”
Re: Magic bands, it should also be noted tang you can get a free plastic ticket at guest services, if you don’t want to use your phone all day to tap in to Lightning lanes! My family did this, and we purchased lanyard holders ahead of time for them!
I'm going to disney world for the very first time ever and i'm going alone. I'm excited to finally hear something about a solo trip from DFB!
I’ve always wondered how many people work for Disney Food Blog now? Are they part time? How often does each individual actually go to the park? Do they all have the Annual Passes?
Oh yes! A DFB video about DFB! Please?
And the biggest question, when does AJ get any days off with all these daily videos.
We did the dining plan a few years ago as it was quite often included on the UK packages. We absolutely loved it as it saved having to work bills out all the time as we were a party of 3 friends. We didn't use all the snacks though and ended up buying tons of sweets from the gift shop on the last day :)
Love your point about solo trips! When I was 15 I went to Disneyland with my dad and 13y/o brother (who had a bad attitude and only wanted to ride California screaming 16 times in a row) I wanted to see more classic Disney so we split up 😅 and I had sooo much more fun
Can you do a video of all counter service with indoor seating accross WDW. Rhanks!
We were just at Disney a few months ago and one of our party members had just started chemo, so the group ended up splitting up a lot when people started getting exhausted. At first I was really self conscious toodling around by myself or sitting next to strangers in a ride vehicle, but it really WAS quite nice to go as slow as I wanted, so stop and look at what I wanted, to make as many bathroom stops as I wanted!
I suggest doing a solo disney trip at least once. I’ve done 7 (two of those part solo and part not). I loved them! But then my last solo trip (December 2021) was kind of lonely and I didn’t miss it too much after. My last wdw trip I took (December 2022) was with a friend, and I miss that trip so much!
I usually stay at a Marriott or a Hilton hotel and take an uber to the park. It's cheaper and great value over the Disney hotels.
I've gone on two solo trips to Disneyland Paris and one fun thing is even when there is not a single rider line you can get on a tiny bit quicker to fill in spaces.
Can you do a video on doing a solo trip?
Ironic that they show Mission Space when discussing pregnancy. It has two sides --- one side safe for all guests, the other much more intense. If you're uncertain, ask a cast member at the entrance!
I ❤ doing a solo trip. Doing # 3 and 4 this year!!!
I’ve been to Disney world 3 times while pregnant. On my last trip I got one of those electric scooters to save my energy for standing in lines and holding toddlers. Cannot recommend highly enough. Also, the first aid station is a good place to take an AC nap if you’re “feeling lightheaded “ 👀
Solo trips are great!
18:50 magic bands are sooo worth it for me. I use disability services and it is very useful and so cute!
Woot Woot for solo WDW vacations! You get to do what you want when you want. Sleep as late or get up as early as you choose - you can even have a dole whip for breakfast because who's going to say something LOL. I have been on these for the past 8 trips and I enjoy it a lot and this way when I do go with someone else I don't have that FOMO because I know next time I go I will be able to do what I missed when I am with someone else. Great video AJ as always!
You hit a LOT of great topics on this video!❤ Loved it!😊
Don't be scared to take a solo trip to WDW. I've taken solo trips this Spring and last Spring and loved it! I had so much fun that it might become a yearly tradition for me.
I'm in my 60s and need a scooter/ecv to get around WDW so one does not need to be young or in great shape to have a great solo trip.
I flew into MCO Orlando Airport and took the Mears Express to my WDW hotel and checked in and got my scooter.
Took mainly the bus for transportation to the parks and back. But I did use the Skyliner, Monorail, and Ferry Boats when park hopping. Having a scooter was no problem with any type of transportation in WDW.
There is too much to do and see to get lonely. And I chatted with people throughout the day and met some really nice folks while waiting in lines, waiting for fireworks to start, etc. I was afraid that I might be lonely in the hotel room at night, but I was so tired upon returning to the hotel that basically I just showered and went to bed.
I am also a person who has no problem being physically close with a stranger on rides so I was fine with being shoulder-to-shoulder and calf-to-calf on rides that try to fill all the sears or being the engineer when riding with a family on Millenium Falcon Smuggler's Run.
A solo trip is great. You can get up when you want, get to the parks when you want, eat when you want, ride what you want and skip what you don't like.
Crazy Disney World trivia: Walt flew in a helicopter over some ranch land outside Orlando and decided it would be the site for his new park about an hour or two before the JFK assassination.
When our kids were in middle school, they told us that they were over traveling to WDW. That's fine with Mom and I. They were watched by my in-laws and we went to WDW without them. Also, sent the kids pictures from Disney of us having fun and sent the pictures during school hours. A family trip has kids and a vacation has no kids.
I have so many questions
16:30 it really depends on the circumstances, but at 16 I have so much fun at all the parks.
I do all my traveling solo - can't wait to do a solo trip to Disney!
Great video 😊. I am all for the solo trip. I am planning one already when my child goes to university next year. Would love to see a whole video on solo travel. Keep up the great work.
Absolutely love this video!
It's really hard to tell if a solo trip would be fun. I always thought amusment park trips would be great alone making my own decisions. I'm an only child so im pretty good at having fun on my own. I honestly found the experience by myself to be not nearly as much fun as sharing the experience with family or friends. It's all personal preference but you'll never know until you try.
Yeah my room at the Contemporary is almost $900 a night. But worth it! And I'm so happy that it's a solo trip!!!
Happy Monday, y’all! 🎩🥂🖤
Love y’all’s video 😁
could you do an updated video of the best things to do without having a park ticket? We're stopping at Port Canaveral on a cruise and don't have enough time to go into the parks and am curious what we can do besides disney springs!
There’s mini golf and horseback riding 😊
Saving time on just 1 ride is worth Genie+ to us because we did not travel hundreds of miles as a family to just stand in line instead of exploring park.
If you have an advanced dining reservation at a hotel restaurant, how long can you park there? Long enough to hit a nearby park for a few rides after breakfast? Or after dinner? Thanks.
If you do this I suggest parking at your resort and taking disney transportation to whatever resort your adr is at. That way they don’t time limit you. Granted you might have to take disney transport to a park or disney springs and then to the resort so it’s a little more indirect but they don’t time limit you if your on disney transport
You make the DDP sound like it's all you can eat, however, if you don't go to a buffet, it only covers 1 entree and 1 dessert. So appetizers need to be paid for and you can't just splurge on everything. If you're into getting apps, especially to share, it's not worth it. And with only 1 snack credit a day, you won't be filling up too much for free
Does anyone know if all Joffrey’s locations include iced black tea?
Congratulations mama ❤
So I don't know why but I've always felt scared to ask disney questions and i have one that wasn't in the video if yall can help me out. Park hopping. If I park hop can I hop to more than one park in a day? If I hop over to another park cnlan I hop back to the original park?
Yes you can. Just can't park hop till 2pm.
Disney should do a 21+ night event. At epcot or hollywood!
Have you ever covered special diets? I don't mean allergies or vegan, because I've seen those mentioned a lot, but kosher and halal meals. Do you have information besides the phone number - what's provided, where, etc?
I believe you can get a menu at quick service restaurants .it's one menu from what I have seen.for restaurants you would request that you have your dietary need ahead of time I believe..there are some articles about this if you search online..
@@loracaro4427 That would be useful for prepackaged foods, but with hot foods, we're also worried about cooking utensils.
Something I wanted to note on the thing with having older kids plan Disney World with you. It's especially important to do that if your kids, of really any age past infancy, are autistic or otherwise neurodivergent. I know it sounds weird to some people, but some people with autism (even adults) don't do well with surprises and/or change. Having your kid, teenager, or even an adult child or family member with autism help plan is really important for their enjoyment. I'd suggest watching some videos of the rides, especially the rides the autistic person isn't used to or doesn't know much about.
Sorry for the wall of text. Just realized I typed a lot...
The Dining Plan is actually a waste for those that don't eat huge meals. My daughter and I like to share a lot of our meals or just get a few appetizers. And I know myself. If I pay that money upfront I am going to stress about using all of the credits by the end of the trip. Now, if your husband or teenagers are big eaters that's a whole other story, 😂
@dfb Did you know that another huge perk of Genie+ is that it includes ride photos you would have to otherwise spend $69 for to get?
Going to magic Kingdom tmrw!!!
Do any on or off property offer kids clubs or babysitting services? Family of 5 here and Yes this vacation is a family vacation but my husband and I would like to enjoy our vacation alone for at least one night if possible😊
The kids clubs have been gone for a little while at the Disney resorts. The Swan & Dolphin do have a kids club still and there are some services in the area that can provide child care but we’d suggest doing your research on those as we haven’t used any in the area ourselves to recommend
Actually, my question I wanted to ask everybody is how can Disney make Disney World even better? What are your inputs?
Wow. Its been so super long since I have visited Disney/Epcot. Probably 15 years or so. Went the first time in '72 when my parents took us kids. We used to go every year until we reached our teen years.....anyway...what a transformation from 15 years ago, not to mention, since '72. I went to the first ever Gay Days back in, I think it was, maybe '92....not many gay people came out to represent (unlike now) wearing the red etc etc (don't know if that is still a thing for Gay Days) but our names are etched in one of the wooden benches on Tom Sawyers Island to commemorate....Have you or would you do one of your in depth videos on Gay Days? Not trying to be political or anything, just wondering. It would be a very interesting watch.
Disney World in Florida is definitely better than Disneyland in California....the only thing Cali has going for it, is it's weather is beautiful....California only has the 2 parks & 3 Disney hotels AND it's smack in the middle of Anaheim, which takes you out of the Disney bubble! Florida has 4 parks plus 2 waterparks & 25 Disney hotels and it is in a bubble!
Nahhh girl the Disney dining plan is great for our family, but we are still going to have to pay $1000s out of pocket for a lot of food because honestly it doesn’t give enough food!!! I wish it was 2 quick service and 1 sit down per day….
I am very confused by QR codes in videos. Although I suppose this could be a generational thing. I watch all these videos on my phone. How do I scan it with my phone when I am watching it on my phone? Is there something I don't know? Sincere answers much appreciated.
You cannot scan a QR code with your phone if you are watching the video on your phone. If you don't have a laptop or desktop, maybe have a friend scan the code for you while you are watching (or watch the video on the friend's phone and scan with your phone. You can pause the video and take a screen shot of the code to deal with it later.
You can screenshot, go to your gallery, long press the QR code, and it should bring up the link!
Thank you. Good ideas. My husband will now be recruited to help scan the code. 😅 The screen shot thing did not work. Probably the type of phone I have. But now I want one that will do that. That would be so easy!
This is just like The Adventure Zone Steeplechase (podcast)...
How do you get everything transferred to your magic band?x
The my Disney experience app walks you through it step by step once you get it paired up, and everything kinda transfers on it own (tickets, lightning lanes, etc). It is pretty easy thankfully 😅
@@AWESOMESAUCEES Thankyou :)
I’m guessing if I got a MagicBand for Disney World, I can use it for Disney Land too, right? I don’t think there’s a different magic band for both parks, is there?
You can only use magic band + at Disneyland, so if you want to use one at both parks, I recommend getting that one so you can use it at either!
@@AWESOMESAUCEES awesome, my newest one is a magic band +. But my friend who is talking about going with me got a regular magic band. Are the only options for Disneyland that and the cell app? I have issues with the app. Does Disneyland have free physical cards to use like disneyworld does?
I heard you can use your Apple Watch as a magic band, is that an option?
When did Disney lose the magic?
My mom went to Disney pregnant, ofc she didn't realize it at the time lol. So because she didn't know she went on everything with me.
Can we get a best burger video 🎉
First! Best part of my day.
Will the MagicBand still work or does one need to upgrade to a MagicBand+?
You can use either, the plus version is only necessary at Disneyland since that’s all they are compatible with!
What are the best places to avoid kids? Your living room, dining room, bathroom etc., in your sad 1BR apartment
Projection? What a super weird take and comment, dude. An apartment without children is sanctuary. As parents and non parents alike, oddball.
This was a good stand alone video and later folks can branch off to other videos, then see what else might be possible 😊
Yes, Genie+ is a money grab.
The old Fast Pass worked well, but Disney could not make money on it like they can with Genie+.
I know Disney is all cashless, so here's my question, can you tip in cash? I'd like to not use my debit card while at Disney.
Disney isn’t cashless…… Just buy a gift card before you go.
@TheInstigator918 I will certainly do that. As I understood it, it's cashless, and that you can use to gift cards there. Just need to know if you can cash for tips.
It’s better to go to Disneyworld alone
@1:39 "just ignore the kids" ... until one of them pushes you because you're not moving fast enough in a ride queue. Ignore the kids until one steps on your feet (or vomits on your shoes -- big shout out to that little blonde girl who barfed on my feet while I was wearing sandals and a double big shout out to her mom who told me to know better than wearing sandals. To an amusement park. In Florida. In 85° heat. While wearing sandals herself. ✌🏻). Ignore the kids until one of them hits you with a popcorn bucket because you won't trade with them. Ignore the kids until one loses their balance while standing on a rail and puts sticky hands on your new white shirt to balance themselves ... sure, just *ignore* it 🙄
Also, don't count on cast members to fully enforce the "adults only after 8" at Trader Sam's because if the adult isn't done and they have small children, they aren't going anywhere. 😕
Honestly, there needs to be more kid-free spaces -- especially the bar areas because I don't want to hear screaming babies while I'm sipping expensive tequila. 😂
I would pay $$$$ for an adults only day or after hours event!
oof, I feel that. I usually plug myself into my headphones and hope for the best. I hear that they are adding in some adult only days this upcoming year! I hope it sticks and they do more of them!
People seem to forget that Disneyworld and Disneyland are for kids we went to Disneyland a lot with our kids and no alcohol was served which was better it seemed less arguments/fights and a lot of UA-camrs don't understand that I realize it's their job but kids having meltdowns it's part of theme park if UA-camrs don't like that in the workplace they should probably look for some other job
As Walt said in his opening speech, "ALL are welcome to this happy place." The parks are not just for kids, but for anyone who wants to enjoy them. Responsible adults enjoy adult beverages and should not have to be subjected to your poorly behaved children. I don't know of any UA-camrs who are suggesting that they don't like children (especially those who cover the Disney parks), but there are adult-oriented activities that are desirable to a certain demographic. I'm sorry if this is out of your range of comprehension.
first of all i totally agree with on were you mention about fights and arguments have become more within the disney parks, it’s starting to seem to me the fact the parks are becoming to were there is more alcohol within the parks; back last year in 2022, last year was disney worlds biggest year where there was constant fights breaking out while there are families alongside these fights that are breaking that have small children, it just saddens my heart thinking these families came out to disney world or disneyland and you’ve got these fights and/or arguments going on were people just make an embarrassment of themselves, thank goodness for security walking around these parks while at the same time all these guests are having a good time. there’s just some people in my personal opinion whom forgets to mind their p’s & q’s while being inside the disney parks. it’s starting to seem that it’s becoming more often. i was vacationing with my loved ones in december of last year in ‘22, i was at magic kingdom for the mickey’s very merry christmas party, i was alongside dozens of others were waiting for the christmas parade to start and all of the sudden these two grown men alongside their loved ones that were with them got into a fight but eventually stopped. i believe didn’t have a cup of alcohol on them, probably did or just had gone somewhere to eat then long story short broke out into a over something that was so pointless and making an embarrassment of themselves. these disney parks should be more of family friendly place and not some place were fights or/and arguments break out, ridiculous! while i do agree with you on that but telling a youtuber like A.J. and the DFB team how to run their youtube channel is childish; this is a youtube channel that give advice on all age range of people whom go to the disney parks day in and day out. if some of her videos she does doesn’t have to do anything to do with you then keep your comments to yourself. these videos she does may help someone else out like for those with small kids for example; those tips and advice maybe good for them and not for you, if you have nothing nice to say then don’t say it. these videos are good advice she has on her youtube channel besides if you don’t like her videos then why watch them then go into the comments section like this and go off saying the most hateful stuff is so childish; respect it.
@@elizabethmillinghausen7356
If the parks are for everyone to enjoy, why are adults trying to avoid kids then? You don't see kids asking to avoid or leave out adults from events.
My friend, you are poorly mistaken if you think that Disneyworld/Land is just for kids. In 2018 the demographics showed that only 36% of families who went to disneyworld were with children under the age of 18. Disney adults are the reason the parks are still running. I think it's understandable to have some child free spaces when we make up such a huge demographic.
@@emilyw2962 Then create new spaces for adults. Quit insisting on crowding out children from acceptable places. The idea behind Disney is inclusion. ALL of us should belong.
Disneyland is significantly worse than Disney World
queu lines? That is like saying line lines. Just say lines.
