A time not to be in Disney? When your mortgage is due 💵
Meh they can wait
I so wish that I could thumbs up this comment more than once
Yup, when you are broke!
When you are in debt 😅
If you aren't in debt you will will be after Disney. @@amsells
I would say plan EXTRA spare times for bathroom breaks and unexpected situations. When my family of 6 visited disneyworld they haven’t have the chance to visit all the area and rides of the park, but they dam sure visited all the bathrooms there in a day.
Definitely recommend going to MK on a Not So Scary day, we couldn't believe how quiet it was compared to a normal, late opening day we went on a few days earlier!
1. When a bear is inside the magic kingdom.
We only go when the weather is good and all schools are in session.That's usually late January. It's so worth it! The temps are comfortable and the crowds are lower, allowing for more fun, and shorter lines, in the parks.
Yes! We go at the end of January/beginning of February every time!
Hahahahaha. My husband and I will be in Disney from 12/23-12/30 Wish us luck...
most crowded time of the year
Most beautiful time of the year! We will be there as well! Book dining early! (60 days in advance)
Mid day naps at the resort are a must do for my wife and I. 😂
I appreciate the mental health tips. Thanks!
I'm glad i scheduled my Magic Kingdom day for a day a holiday party will be going on. I like Magic Kingdom... it's just not my favorite park. Plus it gives me an excuse to go do a boardwalk crawl or similar. Finding out the crowds MAY be lighter that day is actually a bonus.
My family and I are going in two weeks. We have gone in the hot summer temps for the the past 9 years. I’m excited to go in hopefully much cooler weather.
You are going to love it! 😉
Aww my favorite time of year has always been early November! The weather was perfect on the first and last day of our trip last week. And the weather is perfect right now. Don’t forget to bring a hoodie and pants for those nights or cold restaurants. We went on Kali River Rapids then to Yak and Yeti for much right after and we were wet and freezing, lol!
Nov 9th driving from Cali to Magic Kingdom. First time in the park super exited
It’s a completely different experience in a good way when ur not sweating from the first second of ur day to the last. So excited for you-enjoy!
Gotta say I rode Tron in it’s first week this April, and as a Brit the opportunities to go to Disney World are rare (it’s expensive for Americans but being abroad I’ll probably not go again until I’m about 4 decades older). Worth every attempt to get in the virtual queue!
Wonderful content! Thanks for the tips A.J.!!!
Great video once again, maybe one day me and my crew will run into you guys while we are there and grab a pic!!!! 🎉
Always be prepared for the weather.
I went in Nov/Dec 2019 and one week it was over 30C (85F) and the other week it was just above freezing 5C (40F) for a few days. In shorts and tshirts one week and then sweaters and jackets the other week.
In the SUMMER!! 🌞Maybe those who live in the South can tolerate those temperatures, but why should I even try?!
I was wondering if maybe you guys could put the topics mentioned in the video description. It would be so so useful ❤
I wanna be there all the time I miss Disney world I can’t wait to go in Nov1 and grand floridans cafe 😍
I loved that intro!
like raining (and everything lightning and everything) on my Hollywood studio day! WE had to go late cause the weather, and we couldn´t not go, so we had to hide under the frozen ever after stairs. Good thing we brought raincoats. Next time i think i´ll just buy or bring panchos though but OMG rain no please!
Eating at 3:00 to 4:00 is completely impossible for me especially when I’m at Disney. Since I’m excercising and having fun I burn way more energy during the day so even a good breakfast wouldn’t be enough. I have to have a lunch and then a nice sit down restaurant. Unfortunately I can’t avoid the crowds although I do agree that it’s a problem.
Yeah, we waited for rise of the resistance to slow a little in California.... and COVID happened! Had to wait a Long time... :)
Took the wife and small kids last mid July for 5 days to D World. 95 degrees every day and 100% humidity. Thank god we’re from Texas. lol
I must be a little strange because I was there during the July/August heat wave and loved the heat. I actually got cold in restaurants with air conditioning and had to leave when my family was still socialising to warm up 😂
Sounds like low blood pressure 😅 I live in the middle east and love the heat ✨
Yea I can take the heat better too and not much aircondition.
I was in Animal Kingdom on Pandora's opening day unplanned. Sure, it was crowded, but it was also open until 2am, so I was still able to see everything!
We were there that day too. The lines were nuts. Luckily we didn't care about doing Pandora that day. It's just cool to say you're there for an opening land.
@natashastrasburg5668 Yup! A very nice family with annual passes were kind enough to buy a passholder-exclusive opening day T-shirt for me. The glowing features were especially bright and looked awesome in full dark, a difficult sight to see nowadays!
I just got back for a week. It was my 2nd time in the 2nd week in Oct. and never again as it's too crowded. But there was no rain all week and last year it only rained about an hour at Magic Kingdom and this was all week. Rise of the Ressistance has been open for a few years and it's still a long line. I was lucky I got a disability pass and I didn't last year. I would have had to wait 70 minutes if I didn't get a disability pass and last year I waited 80 minutes.
25:12 I get we can leave any time but anyone paying for a day ticket has probably paid even more than that and can’t afford to waste an hour or 2 in transportation to and from the park just to get a break from the park but idk that’s just my opinion.
I was there on the day with the longest wait times! Yes, AVOID if at all possible :) Although it was still fun....
We went to the other popular park between Christmas and New Years last year. Never ever again. Never. Ever.
June-august
I'm actually super terrified that my trip will accidentally align with Tiana's Bayou opening. I would love to experience it, but not at the expense of my entire trip.
I wouldn’t sweat it. If you happen to align with the very first day, just pick a different park to go to that day. Since it’s just a re-theming, I don’t expect it will drive insane business. I expect all the other MK rides will have reasonable wait times.
Since it sounds like your trip is already planned, I think you’re in luck. Overall Disney World attendance is down from 2022, which also means way shorter wait times! We were planning a trip for early 2020 and it seems to me that wait times have never made it all the way back to the extreme waits before the pandemic. Now, and likely for the next few years, I think we will continue to see much shorter wait times than 2022, the most recent peak wait times.
If it's really crowded, they may extend park hours that day. They did when my trip ended up being on Pandora's opening weekend! It was crowded, but they were open until 2am so I still got to see everything. And when I was there on Splash Mountain's last day, the crowds hung around maybe an hour after the usual hour-past-closing end of the day. Sure, shops closed, but I could still check out the castle and the anniversary statues and such!
Same here! We booked for first 11 days of next October it saying later 2024 is making me nervous it'll open around then and bring crowds in
I tried going to Disneyland during Christmas week in 2013. The weather was sunny and quite warm, 30 degrees above normal and much more summer than winter, even for Anaheim. Unfortunately that also made for insane crowds. While I wasn't there on Christmas Day, every day the place was so packed that I couldn't even walk from Main Street into Adventureland...the archway was literally completely blocked by a thick wall of people who also couldn't move. Ended up spending 5 of 6 days in DCA instead, which was only slightly better. No ride had under a 90 minute wait. I will say though, that the New Years Eve show and parades were all completely worth it that one time, even though I had to walk back to the hotel because the shuttle stops were all backed up. However, I will never be going to Disney during that week ever again.
Never plan Disney for the holidays, especially if you don’t like crowds. We are retired and enjoy going off season. When kids are in school works best for us. Disney World in Florida is awesome.
@@letskeepitreal601 I've been many times since. Unfortunately there is no "off season" any more. When I visited the second week of September back in 2005, the entrance line was only 20 people deep, nothing had more than a 15 minute wait, and my wife and I were able to do the whole park in a day, and DCA in another day. We were even able to call Blue Bayou direct from our hotel and reserve dinner for the next day! Now THAT was a great trip experience!
We were some of the first to ride mission space. We were walking by and a cast member walked up and said “hey you guys want to try this new ride……..HE** YEAH!!!
We always plan a rest day halfway through our trip and that falls on a Saturday, which means DS is where we’ll be eating dinner. Should we move things around to avoid that? We have a party of 6 adults and 2 kids 😬
We did a rest day at Typhoon lagoon and it was great.
Perfect timing hiii aj
Wut about wen jafar or hook atax?
I doubt Disney will make another mistake like Rocket Rods. If an attraction opens up, you have many many years to enjoy it so you don't have to go on opening weekend.
How are crowd sizes during the week of Mardi Gras?
We were at pecos bills on the 50th. We know how many can be in there
Could we get a new video or a blog post on solo trips?
There are videos for solo trips. I just went by myself and had a great time. I did what I wanted when I wanted.
👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽❤️
I am so disappointed. It is repeatedly stated on this site that the value of your WDW tickets never expires - but that's not totally true. I had a 6 day ticket package from a year ago, but only used 5 of those days. The remaining ticket cost is no longer available to use. According to a cast member, using just 1 day of a ticket package means that the remaining tickets will expire within a year. There is no "associated" cost of the ticket that can be applied to a future trip. Who knew?
They do not say that on this site. The tickets used to never expire but that was years (probably even decades) ago. The last time I can remember that being the case was in the 90s.
@@Gloria-ro4vn we have tickets from the 90s that are non-expiring. I think you had to pay extra for that but it was a thing then, and that was WAY past ticket books.
Dude they have never said you can partially use your tickets. The terms on the ticket are clear as well. Your ticket value does not expire if you don't use it. The ticket will, but the value on an unused ticket could be carried forward. But if you used it? You used it. You have X days to use the ticket from first scan depending on ticket length.
The Magic Kingdom on Christmas Day. Never again.
Oh my goodness, a ultimate Disney Christmas guide would be so helpful! Me and my family want to go this December, but it’ll be our first time during the holidays so we’re noobies haha
Not going in any of these times
That first week of October when the southern states have a break week, unless a bunch of drunk hillbillies having loud public arguments is your jam.
We are from the northern Midwest and had no idea this was a thing. We thought we were going during the off season. Ugh 🤣
I just got back last week and it was too crowded.
December 30 is my birthday.🎉
Has anyone went to mickeys not do scary Halloween?
Me! Went for the first time a few weeks ago, wouldn’t do it again, but then again, I’m not really into Halloween (have nothing against it though)
First and second time I went I thought it was the best thing we'd ever done. Now, I think I've gone too many times.
I just went this passed thurs. It was fun but way too crowded. I did come back with a lot of candy when I trick or treated. The fire works were good and so was the Hocus Pocus
show at the castle and the parade if you can make your way to the front which I did.

At 29:11, I may be one of the HEA firework's major deal breaker, but still that overrated show (perminately out for me) took ever Enchantment. As I check other parks, there are other shows (NOT overrated Fantasmic!) I could enjoy, lik eteh Wonderful Workd Of Animation for projections, and EPCOT Forever for fireworks which I 'm gald to see that show on one of the last days before the new show,
Surge pricing on Uber and Lyft at busy times can be justified as a way of getting more drivers on the road to meet demand. Surge prices on busy days at WDW are just a $$$ grab.
So where do you buy tickets? What venues do u have? Where are they located? Show us a map? Simplify the chat thank you
I have a weird thing Disney does that I’ve never seen DFB comment on, along the sickness lines…
I was sick for two days during our vacation in Oct 2022. I laid in bed at Art of Animation for the whole of those two days while the rest of my family went to the parks.
In the first day there was a knock at the door, so in my underwear I cracked it open. It was a hotel employee who said they were sorry to disturb but they needed to check the room. I told them I was ragingly sick and in my underwear so they probably didn’t want to come in, and could they come back later, but he wouldn’t take no for an answer and told me to put some clothes on so he could do a quick check. He was checking faucets and tapping walls and being really sketchy. I asked if anyone had reported a problem, he said no and asked if the faucets and fridge and outlets were all working. It was super bizarre. Then he left and I collapsed back into bed.
When my husband got back from the parks he was freaked out and called the front desk because he didn’t think it was Disney Hotel staff that had come to the door, but they confirmed that it was. He directly asked them in several ways what had happened, and they dodged his questions.
The next day I’m laying in bed sick and exactly the same thing happened. A different employee came and did the same thing. Again, when my husband came home he called the front desk to let them know he didn’t think it was ok for me to be woken up and told to dress when I’m so sick I can’t even go to a Disney park, and that he wanted to speak to the manager. While he was still very vague, the manager alluded to the fact that every room is checked every day, whether people are in there or not, for security reasons.
So, if you’re sick in bed at a Disney World hotel, don’t expect it to be completely restful 🥴
That's been protocol ever since the Vegas Music Festival shooting
How much is a standard ticket DISCOUNTED for party days because you have to leave at 6:00pm?
People are still going? It is getting too expensive now.
Maybe for you, but for me it will never be to expensive to go have fun at Disney. Plus we don’t normally stay at a Disney hotel anymore.
I went by myself last week and I know how to get some good deals at least for me. I stayed off sight and not at a resort. I don't eat in the parks and I just eat a few snacks. My hotel is 10 minutes away from Disney. It's comfort inn and has a lot of good things but the free shuttle to Disney isn't real good. I took the public bus to Magic Kingdom and only paid $2. The bus to the airport is 2 and a half hours but only $4. I don't buy suveniors. I don't need them. I got 2 shirts I wanted on line. If you want the bells and whistles which I don't you have to pay for them.
You are allowed to leave the parks! You are also allowed to take all of your cash and burn it. I have never met anyone who booked so long of a Disney Vacation that they said "lets leave the parks and go do something else", we will have plenty of time to see everything later. The parks are way too expensive to leave in the middle of the day.
It will be interesting to see if Tiana’s new ride is a paid Lightening lane. Just retheme a ride then charge extra money? That might not go over well.
Probably not cause at Disneyland (Anaheim) the new ride Runaway Railway got added to the normal Genie+ and even the Guardians ride which was a retheme of Tower of Terror is also on Genie+ and it’s one of the most popular rides there so I would guess that Tianas new ride would not be a Individual Lightning Lane in the future or probably just be paid for a few months then added like Runaway Railway.
They got away with dumping fast pass and charging for a lesser version of it. They won't face anything for a retheme charge.
Why does DFB capitalized random words that dont make sense in their tweets..?
Times that you DON'T want to be in Disney World:
1. Avoid days ending in "y"
2. Avoid days that you'll be overcharged
3. Avoid days that you need to constantly look at your phone
Follow these simple tips and you'll have a much better vacation. Probably someplece else.
Disney has always been lauded regarding how they handle lines and cues, but I find that is no longer the case-unless you are willing to pay for it. My biggest concern is when there are far too many people, and that happens more frequently these days, is should there be a major event or emergency, there will undoubtedly be people trampled to death trying to exits the parks. How Disney gets away with overcrowding, which should be regulated by code, is a thesis to be written by a future Graduate student.
I've been 12 times, and I must say I'm used to the clutter when leaving the parks. It's like any other venue after a performance or park closing, even an event at a coliseum, it's all normal and expected there is no difference. I usually ride a park bus when leaving, but the best time to leave is before any firework shows that night pre crowd, or go late after everyone has cleared out, maybe grab those last minute snacks and catch the tail of the crowds.
@@CoachEarl It’s not leaving the parks that concerns me, it’s while in the parks. There is an ocean of strollers everywhere-parked or otherwise; a sea of people sometimes moving, sometimes not; over capacity of just about everywhere. Disney is a fantastic place to visit with children, if only to see their excitement, but in many ways it’s the adults, whom now place too much credence of themselves over the children, that make Disney lost to me.
Ah I see what you mean, it has been flooded, but they tried to limit attendance, and also raised prices while limiting the number of ppl allowed in the parks. I think it really depends on when you go and what events are going on. March tends to be good for me. Or may. It's always random with crowds. But it's only ever bothered me maybe once on my vacations, I expect crowds to an extent. Everyone has diff views I guess on what is too much. Disney will always be some form of packed.
I went to the 24h extravaganza at Disneyland years ago. I'm sure the crowd was against fire code, left at midnight.
No thank you. Too expensive. Too crowded. Too complicated.
We once had Disney World down to an artform, including the old FastPass. But now, all videos and descriptions make it sound way too much trouble to bother with. I'd rather go to Busch Gardens.
@@Gloria-ro4vn I don't think Disneyland is cheaper, it's just so much smaller. You can see and do it all in a couple of days. At Disney World you need a solid week and still won't see and do everything, not even close.
If you are a coaster/thrill ride lover there are lots of other places to go. I can't ride those things, and we have a toddler in the family, so Disney is a WAY better choice for us.
@@lacee7494Sorry that isn’t true. I don’t know what your talking about. You can easily still do all of Disney world in less than a week.
@@kaitlinschwarz3644 so you do each park for one day, or maybe 2 days at MK. You would still have to go from park open to close to see and do it all. And you still haven't done Disney Springs or anything else on property. Most people want some rest time in the afternoon or a non-park day to break up the week. Now if you don't have small kids and can go all day and late into the night. OR you only care about the big rides and never take time to watch shows or parades. Or you just eat quick meals and never spend time doing sit down or character meals.....sure, YOU may be able to do everything YOU want to do in less than a week. But for people making a once-in-a-lifetime trip who want to see and do it all it's hard. We have never been the kind to make rope drop, stay until park closing, and get up and do it again the next day and the next day and the next day. Vacations are supposed to be fun.
Any day that ends in a “y” is a great time to not be at Disney World.
I planned our Dec 2019-Jan2020 DW vacation around the opening of SW Rise of the Resistance, and in our 2+ weeks there, never got to to ride it :'-(
