When we went to Disney Springs, the bus driver told us to take a picture of the bus stop sign. That was so helpful! By the time we were left the Springs, I would not have remembered which bus stop to go to without that picture. All the Shades of Green bus drivers are fantastic!
That bus driver that dropped you guys off is hilarious and a very nice guy, he did us a solid when my wife had forgotten her wallet up in the room, he held the bus until I came back with her ID. It’s also nice to see that he’s still there, one of the other driver told us that their company’s contract was up for renegotiation by end of April so I’m assuming that it was renewed! One of the other drivers has been there for like 15 years, his name is Vince, shorter bald guy with lots of energy.
I’m glad Tim explained his PTSD.. I never could understand why my husband hated crowds but that makes sense.. it’s apart of their training. I never knew that.
Same.. I was married 7-8 years before he joined and he just started twitching in the bed at night after AIT and all those vaccinations. Never wake them up.. it’s not pretty.
Just watching with the crowds was making me freak out. I felt the silent gaze as yall were checking on each other. Good on yall for holding it together.
Yea it was ok until it wasn’t 😬 What we really should have done is just waited up there for a little bit instead of coming straight down to the mad exodus. Now we know for next time!
Thank you for the honest review and video. I could feel the stress from both of you as you moved through those crowds. My husband has described what it feels like to be always scanning for threats in crowds and in general, so I understand Tim's frustration and feelings of helplessness in that moment.
Of course! We loved the show but now we know for next time to just kind of hang out where we are until the crowds die down. I felt bad for Tim. It was all fun and games until I realized he wasn’t handling it too well 😩
Its new and is said to run every night until September 2. After that we aren't sure if they will continue or introduce new shows but we will watch for any updates :)
Thank you so much for showing this. Until the novelty wears off and the crowds die down, I think this might be a no go for us. There is no way my husband would have been okay after that. His head is constantly on a swivel even in a quiet restaurant. That would have been incredibly difficult. I can only imagine how Tim must have been feeling ❤. The show looked cool though!
Absolutely! I would say IF you consider it then think about going on a week night (not a Friday) and maybe just hang out where you’re at for a while before trying to navigate back to the bus or anywhere really. We are going to test it out again in July with a different approach and see how that fares. It not worth putting anyone through the madness right now 🫶🏼
So sorry the end was so bad. Husband is also thinking ahead of what to do in these situations and this would have freaked him out (me too!) glad you’re all ok. Thank you for your review!
You’re always welcome ☺️ Yea it was a bittersweet night…it was a great show! We had a nice night out together but those crowded moments can really take the wind out of your sail. All is good but now we know for next time. We would have been better off just waiting up there until the crowds dispersed.
I laughed so hard when you were telling your husband “What are you doing?!” With the taco cone 😂😂😂😂 that’s such a wife response. I sound exactly the same when my husband tries new things 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
When you said we're not taking the stroller tonight I thought you said we're not taking story and for whatever reason my heart dropped and I was like wait what what are they doing with story why aren't they taking story?? Lol
I want to visit Disney world with my wife, but the possibility with crowds like you experienced would freak me out. Im a veteran and deal with panic attacks, ptsd, anxiety, etc. Would there be a time of year crowds would be very low? Oh by the way love your videos and authenticity. Greg
I understand that completely...we typically avoid heightened situations for those reasons as well. Some of the obvious times to avoid would be holidays like Christmas, New Years day, Thanksgiving, Spring break time (usually April). Its usually always busy now at Disney but there have been random days where the crowds are less. I would say your best best would be around late August or September when kids go back to school. This is also the peak of hurricane season so the weather tends to be exceptionally rainy. If you can deal with that then I would plan for this time of year. Aside from times of year I would pay attention to times of day and know the showtimes at each park. If you know there is going to be a parade at a certain time avoid main street. If theres a firework show happening at 8 then try to hit the big rides when most people are congregating around the castle. Basically do the opposite of what the schedule says. Get there first thing in the morning to do a few rides, leave for the afternoon, then return in the evening and stay as late as possible when a lot of people will be heading back to their hotels. If you can budget for the after hours events you may consider getting those tickets when attendance is significantly less. There are lots of ways to combat the crowds. Sometimes it is unavoidable, admittedly. But, if you familiarize yourself with the park you're going to and have an exit strategy it is definitely manageable. I hope this helps and I hope you find the best time to plan a trip!
Thank you for that insight, makes me feel a bit more comfortable about trying to plan a trip there. My wife is a huge Disney fan, and I know she would be over the moon if I said we were going.
Yea crazy there…I would have been fine but my hubby would have not been good…we were gonna try Monday nite but grandson ended up sick so maybe was a good thing….
Yep if you’re going be back before September I’d just wait a bit until the “newness” wears off. I can’t imagine it will be THAT crazy for too long. We will try again in July and report back ☺️
Prayers and hugs for your family! 🌟sometimes stress happens! ... here is to peaceful moments! 💚
Thank you ☺️ All is well! It was all ok until it wasn’t but we made it without any major issues. Peace has been restored 🙌🏼

He is SO nice! There are several that we see now on every trip that we have come to adore. 🥰
I’m glad Tim explained his PTSD.. I never could understand why my husband hated crowds but that makes sense.. it’s apart of their training. I never knew that.
Yea he doesn’t really divulge too much but THAT night was a rough one for him. There’s more to it but he doesn’t even like talking to me about it 😣
Same.. I was married 7-8 years before he joined and he just started twitching in the bed at night after AIT and all those vaccinations. Never wake them up.. it’s not pretty.

Thanks for taking one for the team, glad you all survived and made it back safely. Is this something new and permanent at Disney Springs?

Y'all are the best little family, always enjoy your videos ❤
You’re sweet! Thank you! ☺️

🤣 I’m like uhhh why are you trying to FOLD a crunchy cone?! Just eat it! lol
@@battlegroundbiscuits 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
When you said we're not taking the stroller tonight I thought you said we're not taking story and for whatever reason my heart dropped and I was like wait what what are they doing with story why aren't they taking story?? Lol
LOL if it were up to her she would have opted to stay at the pool all by herself 😂 But she would have been pretty upset to miss out on that M&M store.
Great vlog!
Thank you!! 🙏🏼
Story did Great walking in Flip Flops!😊
She’s a pro now 😂 She loves to be barefoot like her daddy in the summer but when we go anywhere flip flops are a must 😎
