You can effectively cancel a dining reservation up to 2 hours before your reservation by simply modifying the reservation to a day or two later, and then cancel it.
I’m taking my family to Disney in two weeks. Our last trip was cut short due to the loss of my mother in law back home. So this trip is extra special to my family. Your videos really are going to make us take advantage of everything so everyone will have a vacation they will never forget. I really appreciate your videos and I will always be grateful. Your videos really get me excited to visit Disney.
I had something similar happen when my father died. When I came back to finish the unused days, it just happened to be the opening weekend of Pandora, and a very nice AP family just ahead of me in line got me the exclusive AP Opening Weekend T-shirt, which was awesome! I hope your trip is just as special, a tribute to your lost love one.
@dmrich920 Same with my dad - I got the call from my mom as I was getting off the ferry to Magic Kingdom. Our last trip together as a family was to Disney World, so I promised I would *not* let the experience ruin the Parks for me. And if you're going to get news like that and break down sobbing, Disney is the place to do it, they took such good care of me, were very kind and comforting, gave me privacy and then helped me reschedule my flight and get back to my hotel and to the airport. I just wish I'd thought to get the name of the cast member who helped me at Magic Kingdom so I could thank her officially!
For parents - and I’ll admit my kids were little about 15 years ago - another trick is to order those silicon wrist bands (“Livestrong” style) with cell phone numbers on them. My kids wore ones with my cell phone even after we got home from Disney in case they walked away at a park or a grocery store or wherever. At least until they were old enough to memorize it…
I used to work for a place that made "plastic cheese". It is made mostly of water and starch, but there's also butter, real cheese, lactic acid, some spices and coloring in it.
WDW is amazing but day after day in the parks can be stressful. If you fancy a little time to unwind and not worry about lightning lanes try a half day visit to Celebration. It's a small town just south of the resort with great cafes, an old school cinema, farmers markets and some beautiful walking/cycling trails.
The #1 hack is renting DVC points for sure. We got a 2 bedroom at AKL for $600/night this last May, and now have a trip booked for a boardwalk studio for less than $300/night. Literal thousands of $ saved from this tip!
That is normally the case, but it depends on deals offered at the time. It was cheaper to get our room direct from Disney this upcoming holiday season because of the deals available.
I've made a habit of setting a screenshot of my plans as the lock screen of my phone. I don't even have to put my pin in to see my plans, saving as much battery, and sometimes time, as possible.
Everyone knows calories don't count at Disney, but if your brain gets annoying and reminds you they do, the little waffles are the way to go! Just tell yourself they're small so it doesn't matter if you eat 10 lol. Plus the kids can carry them easier lol
I am a DVC Member since 2003. I have never once had left over points. You arent just limited to the Disney Resorts. There is the Cruise Line, Adventures by Disney and 400+ properties all over the world. Next year we are doing the Adventures by Disney tour of China next year. My DVC points paid for one person’s tour.
Anyone have any stories of getting a free upgrades? How would you go about asking that? I’m super socially awkward but the idea of potentially getting a free upgrade is VERY tempting! 😅
I had an AWESOME time at the harvest parade on Saturday and had a fun time at the harvest festival yesterday and I'm SOOOOOOOO EXCITED to go to the fire department tonight 😃

Hi!! Festival Food Crawls are featured inside the booklets that you’ll pick up once you’re inside the parks! But we’ve got a post on our website all about the one for Food and Wine! Here, I’ll link it for ya! www.disneyfoodblog.com/2024/08/15/full-list-of-eats-on-the-cheese-crawl-at-epcots-2024-food-and-wine-festival/
Yep, that's a recent change! Disney is testing the Single Rider line at Rise so we're hoping they stick with this new version where you do get to see the preshows
Lollipop saver-- I watched someone break the lollipop while re-opening it. The lollipop was so sticky it sealed it until it broke re-opening. Good idea in theory but I saw an influencer do the same. I'll prob just stick with the zip baggy
Hello! I'm going WDW next Nov 3rd and I'm really worried about "THE LITTLE MERMAID - A MUSICAL ADVENTURE", are there any news about it? Regards form Argentina!
Back in August I came back from Disney World with Covid as well. I’m still not fully over all the symptoms. Sickest I’ve ever been in my life. Take care and speedy recovery!
not to burst your bubble, but I think they´re apples and not tomatoes.....so it´s going to be ¨apple baby?¨ (that sounds creepier) I didn know i wanted to do this, but I´ve always wanted to do yoga in Disney....Im not a people person in the morning, but if i can make a friend why not?
It’s not you Mickey it’s Florida of Disney’s Hollywood Studios because they have galaxy edge and they reborn self as using for their shop to do something not allowed Star Wars Galactic credits and they pay money with Galactic credits with galaxy edge a Star Wars universe area
Why on earth would Tiana’s not be open during After Hours? That would be a major perk. They just can’t get that ride situated out, can they? It’s always broken down.

@@CritterKeeper01 she passed while we were at Magic Kingdom. So our visit there I’m sure will be very emotional.

Oh cool so you’re kind of staying hydrated when you eat it😂🎉

Good morning! Trying to convince the Mrs to go back to Disney and I'm using DFB to help lol
Good luck!

My favorite tip is for Disney Dining Plan users: Use those snack credits for breakfast!

Disney Character Warehouse. It is change your merchandise shopping completely.
This is always on my 'souvenir shopping' list! Highly recommend a stop if you can!!
We love a Breea insert! Would love to get a Dustin or Millie insert some day too 🙂

Hopefully you’ll find this helpful! We are always adding more tips and tricks to our videos.

Hi there from the cold, wet UK. I'm coming to WDW in 2 weeks but can't find any info about the Festival Food Crawls. How can I do one of these please?

@@dfbbreea thank you for the information and I look forward to all that cheese!
We are coming back. Thank goodness!
Why was there no mention about Samsung Smart tag devices??? Do people not think that Android phones exist???
I was told that they don’t!!! Told me that at the the exfinity store 2 years ago.
@JoJo’s World @ 45:36
FYI - 3 days after this video posted, Resort TV1 did the single rider line at Rise and they DID see both preshows.
Yep, that's a recent change! Disney is testing the Single Rider line at Rise so we're hoping they stick with this new version where you do get to see the preshows
Mr. Morrow and JoJo at Trader Sam’s @45:38??

I heard it will be back in 2025 so hopefully by Nov 2025 it will be there! :)
Came back from DW Polynesian two days ago with Covid. There are no cold and flu meds anywhere.
Take a med kit.
Back in August I came back from Disney World with Covid as well. I’m still not fully over all the symptoms. Sickest I’ve ever been in my life. Take care and speedy recovery!
Morning AJ!
Headed from buffalo on Sunday! Woohooo
Good morning great secrets for my 194 until I go
I swear, Aunt Susan is impossible!
Someone needs to have a word with her…
We learned people mover is closed during after hours, the hard way.
It’s TRAGIC
if your stay straddle a price increase buy all of your food before that increase. then you are saving money.
❤❤❤❤
not to burst your bubble, but I think they´re apples and not tomatoes.....so it´s going to be ¨apple baby?¨ (that sounds creepier) I didn know i wanted to do this, but I´ve always wanted to do yoga in Disney....Im not a people person in the morning, but if i can make a friend why not?
Hi, fellow diet soda addict chiming in 😂 just wanted to say that I hear you and I see you, AJ!
It’s not you Mickey it’s Florida of Disney’s Hollywood Studios because they have galaxy edge and they reborn self as using for their shop to do something not allowed Star Wars Galactic credits and they pay money with Galactic credits with galaxy edge a Star Wars universe area
Is there a similar product to the air tag for us Android users?
Yes. There are several. Tile is generally considered the best manufacturer. :-)
Yes. We use Tile.
yes! I like the SmartTag2 better, Tile was giving me trouble connecting
Why on earth would Tiana’s not be open during After Hours? That would be a major perk. They just can’t get that ride situated out, can they? It’s always broken down.
