Hello LRV Gang! Some friends recently led us on to visiting Disney World and referred to it as "Disney Free", which we had no idea you could do this, especially free. We then found out that there are thousands of people that already knew about this and do it often. Many make it a yearly tradition and others do it often to enjoy the resorts and eat at some of the resorts, Disney Springs or the Boardwalk. There is a lot of free entertainment as well at Disney Springs, which we have enjoyed for quite some time. Disney allows this all because they know people will still spend money at the resorts or shopping areas. However, there are still quite a few people that did not know about this, so we made this video to give families and those that can not afford the very expensive tickets to the theme parks, a way to still be able to enjoy Disney World instead of nothing at all. What a blessing to those people/families. I know if I had kids and could not afford the theme park tickets, my kids would be grateful to at least do this than nothing at all. In fact, the Animal Kingdom Lodge is an African themed resort built on a 33-acre wildlife preserve with three savannas, and over 30 species of wildlife. That is also free to see and how fun that would be alone. We wanted to pin this comment for this video and our Part 2 video due to a very small percent of people that started coming in for 6 hours straight JUST TODAY that seems to be fake accounts, trying to create drama. They are twisting our title of this video and thinking it is referring directly towards the Theme Parks, which it is not. Allow us to explain fully... Walt Disney World: The resort comprises 31 themed resort hotels, nine non-Disney hotels, several golf courses, a camping resort, and other entertainment venues, including the outdoor shopping center Disney Springs. It also contains four theme parks (Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Disney's Hollywood Studios, and Disney's Animal Kingdom), two water parks (Disney's Blizzard Beach and Disney's Typhoon Lagoon). We explain in the video that you can not get in the theme parks for free. Most of us know you're not going to get into theme parks free. lol So as you can see, "Disney World" is not JUST the theme parks and has a ton of other properties. Some people think "Disney World" means "The Magic Kingdom" and others realize it defines the entire place and realize that obviously Disney is not going to allow anyone into their "theme parks" for free. Truth is, if we named the video..."How To Visit Disney World PROPERTIES For Free". We would have gotten the exact same response from those exact same people, because the Theme Parks are considered properties also. What we are showing that you can see for free is more than just the resorts, so in order to elaborate further, it would entail a much longer sentence which is not allowed. We would of had to write out a long sentence in our title to explain the video in more detail which we could not find a proper way...AND, we have to try to come up with something before it goes live. When you change a title later, then ALL of the translations in other languages for the title would have to be manually changed also. When we create these videos, we have very limited time to finish them and move on to the next project. We also use a title and keyword software and are only allowed so many characters or the search results and score will lack heavily and the UA-cam algorithm will limit the number of people they put the video in front of in their search. We would like to thank those of you that understand and always appreciate the video(s) we do for you all and we hope our videos will always either help you in some way or at least bring you joy and get a good healthy laugh once in a while. We never ever intend to mislead anyone and will always be straight forward with you and not "sugar coat" anything. Bless you all and stay healthy. 🧡😊🤓
Well I for one am so appreciative of this video!! I am so excited to hear about this and never knew about it at all! So I thank you very much for putting time and effort in creating it and letting us all know! Love an blessings from Ontario Canada :)
We have never did this before COVID, so it’s hard for us to compare. By the looks of Disney Springs though with the crowds, we would say probably not because it was very busy.
Wow! That guitarist is amazing. As always, the video is superb. Having an opportunity to visit all the resorts and partake in food, sights and entertainment makes a trip to Disney World worthwhile without the hefty price tag. Thanks for sharing.
I live 1.5 hours south of DW. I’m able to camp 2 or 3 times a year in Fort Wilderness. As a native Floridian for 60 years, I’ve been to the theme parks many times so when I’m camping in Ft. W., that’s my vacation. I don’t go into the theme parks I just stay in the Fort and use the transportation you did to visit all the different resorts. My Lectric eBike is perfect for the Fort. The movies that show nightly at the campfire & the atmosphere of that amazing campground is all I need. If you have never camped there I HIGHLY recommend it!!! Yes, it’s expensive but it really is worth every penny!
Incredible! No way I would of thought of this... and certainly wouldn't have thought about the Swan and Dolphin hotel! We could easily spend a few days just exploring each resort, eating at all their restaurants and visiting their events and stores! And for a little money, splurge on a spa day too! Pure genius! Oh... and that guitar player at the end! TO DIE FOR!!! Be seeing you!
We do the same!! Thought we were the only ones but noticed many others doing the same thing! It is especially nice during the Christmas time to see the different Christmas décor at each resort. Watching the fireworks from the resorts with the music piped in is a huge plus as well!
OMG, brings back memories of when I was a poor single mom. We would go over and ride the monorail, get dole whip at the Polynesian and swim at Ft. Wilderness. We did pay for River Country when it was open back in the day.
Thanks for showing us a different way to see Disney. I never had the desire to go to the park. But I love architecture. I would love to see the different buildings and cultures. Without spending all that money for the park.
My friend, you've done a great job recording and explaining everything with all the details. Thank you so much for taking off your time to bring us this valuable information. God bless you and your wife.
Such fun! Me and my friends do resort hopping when we go to Disney. Makes for a relaxing afternoon or day, a break from the parks. Great video and I’ll have to find that guitar guy next time!
Nice! We go here a lot! Next trip Feb 5th. We usually dedicate at least a day (if not two) to doing this. We've got annual passes so we can park at any of the parks for free (relatively speaking). You can also book a dining reservation at any of the resorts and then tell the guards at the gate you have a reservation and they let you park at the resort. We are DVC members and have been doing this all for many years now... You don't have to go to the parks if you don't want to.
When we started taking our 7 children to WDW back in 2001 I always would drive into the resorts but would just drive thru parking lot for fear of being kicked out So glad you shared this video We are here now for the 21st year with our now all grown kids God is great 👍🏽
Happy New Year Brian and Michelle. 🎊🎉 Thank you for another great adventure. The food looked delicious and the tour of the park was great. And at the end the guitar player is very talented.
I keep complimenting you on your camera work.narating and jokes that make me laugh.Michelle also appreciates your work, the music fits so well, anyway you both love to take cruises such as Wisco,Michagan and Niagra falls, it must be great at Disney,and the skyliner and monorail tours. it takes me back to our family trip there ten no twenty years ago.Pismo Paul
We were just at Disney World not long ago. My wife is a Disney nut. It was her 6th or 7th time going. We went to Magic Kingdom, Epcot and Hollywood Studios. We stayed on resort at Riverside. We took one day and just resort hopped and ate at different resorts restaurants. There is so much to do for free down there. Thanks for sharing.
What a unique way of seeing Disney World!! Looks like the perfect time of year too. Didn’t look very crowded. Thank you for another great video! Happy New Year and continued safe travels. Kathi
Thank you for the FREE tips…… I’ve never seen the resorts before…. looks like a great time! Haven’t had the Dole dessert either….. looks like we need to do this sometime!! Thanks for sharing and love your videos!
Your videos are great. We live in Florida and I want to try this free Disney trip for sure. Thanks again for all your time and effort. Have great new year!
For years we camped at Fort Wilderness and Hotel Hopped. Spent lots of time of the bars and the parks, but the campground is enough to enjoy without doing anything else.
Hi guys! Happy New Year! 🎊🎉 Thanks for this info. I never want to go into Disney but your trip looks great. We just may have to try this out. Looks fun. No rushing around.
I think you were right in your comments Brian... not many people will know to do this and it's a great way to see parts of the Disney properties that you wouldn't normally visit unless you were staying there. If you haven't done it yet, try to get a reservation for Topolino's (dinner or character breakfast) at the Riviera, they're both awesome. Happy New Year.
Great tour of Disney! If we ever come down again, we would certainly do this kind of thing. The theme parks just aren't our thing. Happy New Year from snowy Iowa!!!
Wow great tips! I’m a Floridian and go to WDW many times a year. We love and usually stay at the Dolphin and Beach Club hub area. Have been on the skyliner and until your videos had no idea it took you to Disney Springs! 😳 We’re also looking forward to retirement and RV traveling soon. Great channel! You and your wife are so cute.
Very nice video, helps up plan for our visit there. Hope you are enjoying the great weather. Wish we could be at the Tampa show to say 👋. Take care of pie girl. Pam & Jim 🎊🎉
My family and I used to do this! We fell in love with Disney in 2008, but unfortunately, I was laid off in 2009. To help keep my spirits up while slogging through want ads, interviews, and such, we would often go down for a day and "wander" the way you do in this video. We'd even pick up lunch from Subway or a local grocery store, and have a picnic at one of the many beautiful resorts that have a beach (back before the alligator attack).
A very beautiful video & truly informative. It was great seems to understate the beauty of all you’ve shared with us. Very unique & I’m sure going to watch it more than once. Thank you for this. What a great start to 2022!!! Best wishes & blessings going forward!
What a great video 📹 I can't even. love it so much, the clips the music i literally fell like I was there with you guys i finally found what I've been looking for in this wonderful 👏 video please keep up the good work
I just look forward to your videos each week, No matter what the topic in a matter what you guys are doing very interesting videos you support very entertaining. Very happy new year to you guys
Hi guys , this is a very informative,interesting video, thanks so much for sharing this. This is all I would be interested in doing there. Can’t do the rides anymore. A wonderful video! 👍😘😘
Thanks for sharing! With 30 thousand acres Disney acquired . Plenty of room for expansion! Good way of checking place out for sure . I’ve lived in Fl 50 years. Haven’t been back to Disney since 1980’s I believe. Thanks for sharing! 😁👍 Happy New Year.
Nice meeting you guys yesterday at the Florida RV Super Show. Being a central Florida native, I really enjoy all the things we can do for free at Disney(and there's a lot). I hope you had a great time at the Disney and the RV Show:)And thanks for being so nice and taking a picture with me:) Blessings, Robert.
Happy New Year 2022! Thanks a lot for this video. Can't remember that Disney World was so large 40 years ago when we two naive central European youngsters visited it in humid hot August, traveling in a motorhome without air conditioning!!!!
I have never even thought about spending some Disney days just visiting the resorts! I have never been to WDW and one of my fears was not being able to see everything....this idea helps with that and would allow me a longer vacation!
My daughter and I have done this several times - we love to check out the resorts and shop and eat. Plus do Disney Springs and the campground. Other trips we have done all the parks too.
AWESOME video. Thanks for the tips. We will be moving to The Villages in about 6 months. That is about 45 minutes from Orlando. This will be a perfect day trip. Thanks for highlighting the area. PS. Y'all REALLY should visit the Villages while you are in the area. It is AMAZING. So much free stuff to do. Would be a great video. I would start with Lake Sumter Landing town square. Beautiful boardwalk on the lake, ice cream shop, shopping, restaurants and free live music every night.. You would love it.
When I lived in Miami Walt Disney World would open up the park for all Florida High School Seniors only - for one night. We had the park to ourselves. At the time it was Magic Kingdom only. We had a blast. The last time I visited the park was in the early 90’s. Looks like you guys had a nice time and fine weather. Happy New Year 🎆
Thanks for the video! It was great timing too. We went to the Magic Kingdom and Epcot in December while staying at the TT park in Wildwood. I was able to book 3 nights at Fort Wilderness for next week because I want to explore the resort areas of WDW just the way you did. Now I can follow your trip plan and advice! Happy New Year!
happy new year! had the dole whip at the dole plantation on Oahu and oh my thats good! do they change out that chocolate sculpture once in awhile? think I would like to go there for our anniversary...its so cool!
The recipe for Pineapple Whip is, combine one "big" scoop of vanilla ice cream with four ounces of pineapple juice and two cups of frozen pineapple chunks in a blender. Downtown Disney was my Son’s favorite freebie! He loved the Lego Store. Last time I was there was the day after 9/11, and we stayed a week in Old Key West. Hardly anyone there, everyone was afraid they would blow up Disney. Rode the Rocking Roller Coaster, and blacked out going upside down! Really loved the Tower Of Terror! Happy New Year!
Happy new year to the both of you. Thank you for taking us on your travels in 2021. We recognize how much work keeping your channel going is and appreciate the time you put into sharing it with others. Looking forward to seeing your adventures in 2022!
15-16 years ago with we took the grandkids and stayed at the Floridan we all had life time of memories. Ur video took back to a wonderful time with the family.
Great informative video! I had no idea Disney Resorts were so freely accessible! Now, I think we'll camp a few days at Fort W. and explore the resorts. Seems like there was quite a lot to see. Did the resorts have any small museums or art and other exhibits as well? The gingerbread houses were awesome! Thank you for a great video!
There are many places that have artifacts, etc. throughout each property. Wilderness Lodge has a tour you can take. There is also a hidden Mickey hunt you can go on. Riveria Resort has a library lounge right off the lobby with artifacts. Almost every resort has something fun to do that doesn't cost you anything.
We're getting a slow start to the New Year, but are all caught up now on your videos and LOVE this guide of how to get around such an awesome place! I've never been and am looking forward to going for sure when we get to Florida!
That is a great way to enjoy Disney without the hustle and bustle AND COST to enter the parks. If you two were to stay in one of the hotels, which would you chose? That guitarist was fantastic! Happy New Year, Brian and Michelle! My wish for you this next year is many more safe and healthy travels ! Take care. 🎊🎆
My gosh did you two walk a lot! I was exhausted just watching your video. We have been to WDW hundreds of times since 1975 and still enjoy visiting it when we can. Our Christmas tradition every year to get us in the mood is to ride the monorail to all the resorts to see how they are decorated and to finish by walking around Disney Springs. As you found it is impossible to see it all in two days. We still find places that we missed over the years. We used to camp in Fort Wilderness but they are out of our budget range anymore. Besides it is a total waste of money since 80% of it is closed up due to covid but they are still charging full price. We stay at Tropical Palms in Kissimmee and use our PA. We wish we could have hooked up and taken you two all the high points and shared secrets we have learned over the years to save money and still have a good time. We are looking forward to meeting you two at the Tampa show. Just remember my name Attila like Attila the Hun.
One of your best 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 I could live at Disney but can’t do many rides anymore. My husband could care less to go or do rides. This maybe a nice option to satisfy both of us . We have lots of family in Fla , I’ll be adding this to our itinerary! But I gotta say….. no pie Michelle? Is it really a LivinRVision video without pie or are you impostors 😉
Great way to see all Disney Resort. 🙌🙌👍 we lived in Miami Florida many years and had season passes and our family and sons have great 😊 memories of DWR. Happy and healthy new year 2022 to both! 🎊🎆🎆🎊💥💥 awesome video! 👍🙌😀😀
My husband and I took our kids to Disney World for Christmas this past Christmas. They enjoyed swimming at the Airbnb much more than Disney. Lol. So we’ll never go again until they are much older. I thought they would enjoy being that they are 5 & 7. But nope! Lol have to try it again next time.
At that age I don’t think they are old enough to know the difference between a place like that and a local park or swimming pool. I first went when I was 12 and it blew me away.
Hey guys! Great tip on how to check out the hotels and restaurants before choosing the one for you. For me, Ft. W is the only option. Not into nice hotels…did too many of those for work…chilling by the RV for me please! Ya’ll have a great week. Happy New Year and looking forward to your 2022 trips!
Neat but to busy touristy for me. I know the feeling im on Keto but holidays set me back try again Monday like dropping the pounds and added energy.at 55 need all the help you can get
Living most of my life in the St Augustine area I have spent a ton of time at WDW without going into the parks. Even with having an annual pass all those years, we still went without going into the parks. So much to do and see for free. We like to travel around the resorts during Christmas and see all the decorations. We also liked to watch the nighttime Magic Kingdom fireworks from the Grand Floridian boat dock. I haven't been since COVID due to now living in SoCal, but I still frequent Disneyland. Not as much free stuff to do out here.
Well here’s a 1/1/2022 howdy to you both! This was a great visit to Disney World Florida. It would be difficult to leave after 2 days of “living the dream” . So many favorites here it’s hard to pick just one. However, I’ll pick the talented guitar player at the end. I almost jumped out of my bed to dance 💃. OK, well, I did and it scared my husband. He thought I’d lost it! LOL, Keep on keepin’ on…and once again, Thank YOU both for the wonderful videography. It felt as though I was there with you two, or four.
Happy New Year. My elementary school chess team participated in the National Chess Tournament at Coronado Spring Resort many times. Our fun day started at the Animal Kingdom lodge. They have a free zoo with several animals and games for kids and fast food as well. Next the Art of Animation for Little Mermaid , Nemo, Lion King, and Cars. Each area has activities and displays for kids and Car's area has all the vehicles and buildings plus reasonably priced whole family pizzas. We ended at the Floridian for the Gingerbread House and Fireworks show from the patio. Fun transportation in between, this is a full day. Pack food and it's all free!!! This is Jim's wife, white hat lady.
Oh! So I dont have to be booked in the animal Kingston hotel to visit and eat there. I stayed last time in the music resort and really really wanted to see the african hotel, but thought it was not possible. Thanks for the tip, I will try it next time.
Hey how have u guys been? Love this video. That’s awesome to experience Disney (especially if you aren’t into rides anymore). This is definitely right up my alley. How was your holidays?
We are doing well! 🧡 We hope the new year is going well for you. Hope you can go and enjoy exploring Disney. We had a great Xmas with some friends but a little bummed that we didn’t get back to enjoy it with family. Good thing for FaceTime, Skype and Zoom!
@@LivinRVision my OAKLEY had some spots and after biopsy doc said better to take it off. So now to pay that off and get her back to 💯 oh and to get a little warmer and we are off. Wanting to go west and take my time this round.. 6100 in less than 28 days ughhh

I had no idea ALL that was there!!! & for FREE!!!! My hubby Likes Free LOL!!!! Happy New Year!!!!! LOVES/HUGS!!!
Go to the top of the Contemporary for dinner or just cocktails and an appetizer and watch the fireworks at the castle...for Free. A great date night.
What a unique way of seeing Disney World!! Looks like the perfect time of year too. Didn’t look very crowded. Thank you for another great video! Happy New Year and continued safe travels. Kathi
You guys really went above and beyond with your walk through the resorts! Happy New Year!

My family and I used to do this! We fell in love with Disney in 2008, but unfortunately, I was laid off in 2009. To help keep my spirits up while slogging through want ads, interviews, and such, we would often go down for a day and "wander" the way you do in this video. We'd even pick up lunch from Subway or a local grocery store, and have a picnic at one of the many beautiful resorts that have a beach (back before the alligator attack).
A very beautiful video & truly informative. It was great seems to understate the beauty of all you’ve shared with us. Very unique & I’m sure going to watch it more than once. Thank you for this. What a great start to 2022!!! Best wishes & blessings going forward!
What a great video 📹 I can't even. love it so much, the clips the music i literally fell like I was there with you guys i finally found what I've been looking for in this wonderful 👏 video please keep up the good work
Thank so much for these tips! We’ll be there next month for the first time. Happy New Year 🎆 and safe travels to you.
Hello Jessica
I just look forward to your videos each week, No matter what the topic in a matter what you guys are doing very interesting videos you support very entertaining. Very happy new year to you guys
Great video, just to be able to see the different parts of the resort is fun in itself.
Hi guys , this is a very informative,interesting video, thanks so much for sharing this. This is all I would be interested in doing there. Can’t do the rides anymore. A wonderful video! 👍😘😘
Wow. Good video. I'm surprised by the lack of people. Happy New Year!
Thanks for sharing! With 30 thousand acres Disney acquired . Plenty of room for expansion! Good way of checking place out for sure .
I’ve lived in Fl 50 years. Haven’t been back to Disney since 1980’s I believe. Thanks for sharing! 😁👍 Happy New Year.
Nice meeting you guys yesterday at the Florida RV Super Show. Being a central Florida native, I really enjoy all the things we can do for free at Disney(and there's a lot). I hope you had a great time at the Disney and the RV Show:)And thanks for being so nice and taking a picture with me:) Blessings, Robert.
It was our pleasure. It was very nice meeting you!
Happy New Year 2022! Thanks a lot for this video. Can't remember that Disney World was so large 40 years ago when we two naive central European youngsters visited it in humid hot August, traveling in a motorhome without air conditioning!!!!
Happy New Year!
Yikes! Bet that was miserable! 🥵
Beautiful environment and organic - great information - be safe have fun
Talented guitarist!
LOL on the nose resemblance. Dinner looked great.
If you take the Epcot monorail from the TTC, you could actually ride over a part of the Epcot park. You get a glimpse of Epcot.
I thought we did towards the end of our Part 1 video?
I have never even thought about spending some Disney days just visiting the resorts! I have never been to WDW and one of my fears was not being able to see everything....this idea helps with that and would allow me a longer vacation!
Thanks for the tips. I used this last week and visited a few resorts. It was a great day.
My daughter and I have done this several times - we love to check out the resorts and shop and eat. Plus do Disney Springs and the campground. Other trips we have done all the parks too.
I have lived in the Orlando since 1982 and never know you could move around like that. Thank you
AWESOME video. Thanks for the tips. We will be moving to The Villages in about 6 months. That is about 45 minutes from Orlando. This will be a perfect day trip. Thanks for highlighting the area. PS. Y'all REALLY should visit the Villages while you are in the area. It is AMAZING. So much free stuff to do. Would be a great video. I would start with Lake Sumter Landing town square. Beautiful boardwalk on the lake, ice cream shop, shopping, restaurants and free live music every night.. You would love it.
Thanks, Rebecca. We actually did do a video including the Villages two years ago when we were in Florida. Fun place!
When I lived in Miami Walt Disney World would open up the park for all Florida High School Seniors only - for one night. We had the park to ourselves. At the time it was Magic Kingdom only. We had a blast. The last time I visited the park was in the early 90’s. Looks like you guys had a nice time and fine weather. Happy New Year 🎆
I've done grad night at Disney too in 1984. Great memory you sparked when I read your comment 😊
Thank you both for sharing your memories…we absolutely love reading these! 🧡😊🤓
You can walk to Wilderness Lodge as well. I’ve even walked/ jogged through FW to WL
Thanks for the video! It was great timing too. We went to the Magic Kingdom and Epcot in December while staying at the TT park in Wildwood. I was able to book 3 nights at Fort Wilderness for next week because I want to explore the resort areas of WDW just the way you did. Now I can follow your trip plan and advice! Happy New Year!
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU 🥳🥳🥳 IT is so strange for me to see what Disney is in Florida 😳 I am so use to ours in Anaheim 😆. Safe Travels guys 💙
😆 Me too! I never thought I’d be here… surprise!!
happy new year! had the dole whip at the dole plantation on Oahu and oh my thats good! do they change out that chocolate sculpture once in awhile? think I would like to go there for our anniversary...its so cool!
Not sure about the sculpture but guessing so.
The recipe for Pineapple Whip is, combine one "big" scoop of vanilla ice cream with four ounces of pineapple juice and two cups of frozen pineapple chunks in a blender.
Downtown Disney was my Son’s favorite freebie! He loved the Lego Store.
Last time I was there was the day after 9/11, and we stayed a week in Old Key West. Hardly anyone there, everyone was afraid they would blow up Disney. Rode the Rocking Roller Coaster, and blacked out going upside down! Really loved the Tower Of Terror! Happy New Year!
Hello Nancy
Happy new year to the both of you. Thank you for taking us on your travels in 2021. We recognize how much work keeping your channel going is and appreciate the time you put into sharing it with others. Looking forward to seeing your adventures in 2022!
We used to always take one day of our Disney trip to go do exactly what you did. You're right. Now it takes about three days.
I hear the prices have gone through the roof...Guess they're trying to catch up from covid...Great vid as usual...ty
15-16 years ago with we took the grandkids and stayed at the Floridan we all had life time of memories.
Ur video took back to a wonderful time with the family.
Disney world is an entire different world nothing like on earth, their properties are amazing.
Great informative video! I had no idea Disney Resorts were so freely accessible! Now, I think we'll camp a few days at Fort W. and explore the resorts. Seems like there was quite a lot to see. Did the resorts have any small museums or art and other exhibits as well? The gingerbread houses were awesome! Thank you for a great video!
We did not notice any museums but plenty of things to look at. We went for a day 3 and still haven’t seen everything. Glad you enjoyed the video!
There are many places that have artifacts, etc. throughout each property. Wilderness Lodge has a tour you can take. There is also a hidden Mickey hunt you can go on. Riveria Resort has a library lounge right off the lobby with artifacts. Almost every resort has something fun to do that doesn't cost you anything.
First timer here. This is an awesome idea !!!!! Had alot of fun with you guys . Thanks for this.✌❤
We're getting a slow start to the New Year, but are all caught up now on your videos and LOVE this guide of how to get around such an awesome place! I've never been and am looking forward to going for sure when we get to Florida!
That is a great way to enjoy Disney without the hustle and bustle AND COST to enter the parks. If you two were to stay in one of the hotels, which would you chose? That guitarist was fantastic! Happy New Year, Brian and Michelle! My wish for you this next year is many more safe and healthy travels ! Take care. 🎊🎆
Hi Jolene! Happy New Year!
Probably the Grand Floridian, but we have still not made it to all the properties yet. Disney is so huge! Thanks! 🧡😊🤓
Love Disney World! Thanks for the tips guys.
My gosh did you two walk a lot! I was exhausted just watching your video. We have been to WDW hundreds of times since 1975 and still enjoy visiting it when we can. Our Christmas tradition every year to get us in the mood is to ride the monorail to all the resorts to see how they are decorated and to finish by walking around Disney Springs. As you found it is impossible to see it all in two days. We still find places that we missed over the years. We used to camp in Fort Wilderness but they are out of our budget range anymore. Besides it is a total waste of money since 80% of it is closed up due to covid but they are still charging full price. We stay at Tropical Palms in Kissimmee and use our PA. We wish we could have hooked up and taken you two all the high points and shared secrets we have learned over the years to save money and still have a good time. We are looking forward to meeting you two at the Tampa show. Just remember my name Attila like Attila the Hun.
Thanks for sharing! We’re looking at doing a Part 2. 😊🤓 We look forward to meeting you both as well!
One of your best 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 I could live at Disney but can’t do many rides anymore. My husband could care less to go or do rides. This maybe a nice option to satisfy both of us . We have lots of family in Fla , I’ll be adding this to our itinerary! But I gotta say….. no pie Michelle? Is it really a LivinRVision video without pie or are you impostors 😉
Hello Liz
This is wonderful advice and tips. Thanks so much for sharing. 😍
What a great idea if you have a good pair of walking shoes. Thanks for sharing this video.
Great way to see all Disney Resort. 🙌🙌👍 we lived in Miami Florida many years and had season passes and our family and sons have great 😊 memories of DWR. Happy and healthy new year 2022 to both! 🎊🎆🎆🎊💥💥 awesome video! 👍🙌😀😀
That was a great video! Very informative. Who was the guitarist at the end? He was amazing.
Happy New Year!
Nicholas Marks. He also has an Instagram account also.
Wow was that fun!!!
Thank you so much for taking me along guys
My husband and I took our kids to Disney World for Christmas this past Christmas. They enjoyed swimming at the Airbnb much more than Disney. Lol. So we’ll never go again until they are much older. I thought they would enjoy being that they are 5 & 7. But nope! Lol have to try it again next time.
At that age I don’t think they are old enough to know the difference between a place like that and a local park or swimming pool. I first went when I was 12 and it blew me away.
Hey guys! Great tip on how to check out the hotels and restaurants before choosing the one for you. For me, Ft. W is the only option. Not into nice hotels…did too many of those for work…chilling by the RV for me please! Ya’ll have a great week. Happy New Year and looking forward to your 2022 trips!
Just what I was looking for. Thank you for the info.
You missed an important FREE at Fort wilderness
That us the new barn with the horses
Neat but to busy touristy for me. I know the feeling im on Keto but holidays set me back try again Monday like dropping the pounds and added energy.at 55 need all the help you can get
Living most of my life in the St Augustine area I have spent a ton of time at WDW without going into the parks. Even with having an annual pass all those years, we still went without going into the parks. So much to do and see for free. We like to travel around the resorts during Christmas and see all the decorations. We also liked to watch the nighttime Magic Kingdom fireworks from the Grand Floridian boat dock. I haven't been since COVID due to now living in SoCal, but I still frequent Disneyland. Not as much free stuff to do out here.
Great idea from the Grand Floridian boat dock!
Loved the Disney Free can’t wait to watch the others
Great video! I didn't realize how much there is to see at Disney...thanks for sharing!! Happy New Year!
Hello Monica
ah loooka rocha! Now that was a great ending moochacho! Von eyes condeoz. I give it a 10
I'll second that!!!! What a ending to another great video.
I have here in Orange County since 2000. My family calls this type of Disney touring “lobby hopping”
Well here’s a 1/1/2022 howdy to you both! This was a great visit to Disney World Florida. It would be difficult to leave after 2 days of “living the dream” . So many favorites here it’s hard to pick just one. However, I’ll pick the talented guitar player at the end. I almost jumped out of my bed to dance 💃. OK, well, I did and it scared my husband. He thought I’d lost it! LOL, Keep on keepin’ on…and once again, Thank YOU both for the wonderful videography. It felt as though I was there with you two, or four.
Hello Brian and Michelle , thumbs UP to you and Happy New Year !
I did not realize there was so much to see and do for Free--thanks!
Hello Peggy
you have won my award for best you tube channel. Pismo Paul
🧡😊🤓 That’s very nice of you to say, thanks Paul.
Happy New Year. My elementary school chess team participated in the National Chess Tournament at Coronado Spring Resort many times. Our fun day started at the Animal Kingdom lodge. They have a free zoo with several animals and games for kids and fast food as well. Next the Art of Animation for Little Mermaid , Nemo, Lion King, and Cars. Each area has activities and displays for kids and Car's area has all the vehicles and buildings plus reasonably priced whole family pizzas. We ended at the Floridian for the Gingerbread House and Fireworks show from the patio. Fun transportation in between, this is a full day. Pack food and it's all free!!! This is Jim's wife, white hat lady.
Hey “White hat lady”! 😂😉 Thanks for sharing! 🧡
You can catch one bus from Disney Springs to the wilderness lodge. You make it seem like you're riding shuttles all day!
?? Did you watch part 1 & part 2?
@@LivinRVision I only watched part one; I already knew about the freebies but was glad that you did the video.
Oh! So I dont have to be booked in the animal Kingston hotel to visit and eat there. I stayed last time in the music resort and really really wanted to see the african hotel, but thought it was not possible. Thanks for the tip, I will try it next time.
Hey how have u guys been? Love this video. That’s awesome to experience Disney (especially if you aren’t into rides anymore). This is definitely right up my alley. How was your holidays?
We are doing well! 🧡 We hope the new year is going well for you. Hope you can go and enjoy exploring Disney. We had a great Xmas with some friends but a little bummed that we didn’t get back to enjoy it with family. Good thing for FaceTime, Skype and Zoom!
@@LivinRVision my OAKLEY had some spots and after biopsy doc said better to take it off. So now to pay that off and get her back to 💯 oh and to get a little warmer and we are off. Wanting to go west and take my time this round.. 6100 in less than 28 days ughhh
Prayers all is good now. We can’t wait to go west again and explore new areas. Safe travels and hope to see you again!
