Looks like it’s a wonderful time of the year to visit. Enjoy!
I didn’t realize that this was also a birthday trip, happy birthday!!! I love how you made your nails all Christmasy. Emma wanting to help you pack reminds me of the time my son wanted to help me write a paper when I was in college.
Love your trip vlogs, can’t wait to watch your Tennessee trip, it looks amazing. Happy belated birthday as well 🎁 what a nice gift from your husband, so sweet.
Thank you so much!! It was a great birthday gift/trip, I can’t wait to share it!
Hi Jess, I wouldn’t worry too much about the stressful moments. I think everyone gets those at some point during their vacation. Besides that, you have a beautiful family and I’m sure nothing beats seeing the magic of Disney through their eyes. Now to share something random: I have a 7 year old daughter who thinks Disney World is near Newark NJ. 😂
Thanks so much!! Yes, I feel like we all get a little stressed in the heat and chaos of Disney World 😵💫. That’s so funny about your daughter 😂. I wonder why she thinks that? 😆
@ I think it’s because she loves Disney (like I do) and knows that I make frequent trips to Newark.
I’ll be honest, I feel like Disney has a lot of skip the line options. I feel like it’s a lot to take in and it’s a bit confusing. But that said, I also feel that it’s not a deal breaker, but just a minor annoyance. Like you, I love Disney World and will not sway from those feelings. I’m looking forward to the next vlog as well as your next trip. Happy Halloween!!! 🎃
Absolutely. I agree with everything you said! I meant to mention in my video about how confusing I think all of their fast pass-type options are, and I forgot. Thank you!
@@JessonMainStreet No problem, happy to help. But you are doing a great job and I enjoy your content. So keep up the great work.
Your brain dump list is awesome! We leave in a few weeks, and I am doing this!
Thanks! I have to write things down like that or I WILL forget something 😆. I hope you have a great trip!
Do you have any Tiana Dresses yet?
I don’t…my youngest is so scared of Dr. Facilier that she hasn’t made it all the way through that movie yet 😬. It’s one of MY favorites, though! 😆
The 5 Princess Dresses which are of your highest priority whenever you go to Disney or a Princess Party. Elsa > Anna > Rapunzel > Asha > Aurora
Do you have any Anna Dresses or Elsa Dresses yet?
I do have a couple of each😁. My oldest was a huge Frozen fan when she was little and I saved all of her dresses ❄️
Hi Jess, I’m new to your channel. I enjoyed the vlog and look forward to more content.
Thank you so much!!
I had a really bad day at work and this helps me get a whole lot better and this brings back such great memories of when I use to be a 90s kid and an early 2000s kid and I am a new subscriber as well:).
Aww, I’m sorry you had a bad day! But I’m so glad my video made you feel better! That is the biggest hope for my channel - that it can brighten someone’s day. Thank you so much, and I hope things are looking up for you!
I have to ask where did you find that skyliner lights? Or did you make them? My son is OBSESSED with the skyliner and would love that so so much. Loved your video!
Thanks so much!! We love the Skyliner too 😁. I found a free printable and we just printed them on colorful paper, attached stickers of the characters, and strung them on some twinkle lights. Here’s the website where I found them: thekingdominsider.com/make-your-own-disney-skyliner-free-printable/amp/
@@JessonMainStreet thank you so much!!
Amazing vlog! The skyliner decor is so cute! ❤. I really enjoyed your video 😊
Aww, thank you so much for your sweet comment!❤️
@@JessonMainStreet You're welcome 😊
Your nails came out really cute
Thank you so much!
My 5 year old grand daughter cried her first trip when we were going to park instead of the pool on first day so now our first day is resort/swim day. And we take break at pool every day. The kids love the pool and are refreshed to go back to park at night. The parks are cooler and look beautiful at night. I was surprised how much prettier Hollywood Studios was at night.
I so agree with you! The kids always love the pool so much. We try to plan in a lot of pool time too, especially in those hot months! I love the parks at night 🥹. Yes, Hollywood Studios just has a whole different vibe at night. I love it so much!
We are going Sept. 1-15 with the free dining quick service plan. It is just Hubby and I celebrating our 50th anniversary. Can’t wait. I’ve already been adding to our Disney bag. I also have made a few Journals for the trip. We are staying at POP.
Aww, how fun! Our trips are so similar😆. I’ve heard September is one of the best time to go because of the low crowds. Congratulations on 50 years and I hope you have a fantastic trip! 😆
We are going that same week! Congrats on your 50th anniversary!!
Hi, I'm a new subscriber! I'm wanting to start documenting my own trips with my family for memories sake outside of my phone. Do you have a good vlog camera that you'd recommend? I'm also a travel advisor so I totally understand the fun and excitement in planning trips. It's why I do what I do! Looking forward to watching your journey and upcoming content! 😁
Thank you so much!! Unfortunately I don’t have personal experience with a good vlogging camera because I just use my iPhone to film everything 😆. I would love to invest in a nice one someday, though. I’ve heard many people recommend the Canon G7 X Mark II. It’s pretty expensive, but I know a lot of people like that one! The other day I heard someone recommend the DJI Pocket 2. It is super tiny, but takes great videos, so it’s easy to carry around the parks! And much less expensive. Hope that helps!
Fyi, even though they advertise it as free it certainly is not free. If you were to get a room only discount during that time period and buy your meals outright, you would end up saving yourself some money. If you were to have booked a non discounted room and added on the dining plan, sure, you would save yourself money. Nothing is free at Disney and Disney is usually offering some sort of savings during the bulk of the year.
Thank you! I have heard this from someone else as well. So do they inflate the room prices during free dining? Or are the discounted room rates just a much better deal? We have done discounted rooms in the past, but since we typically stay at value resorts, the savings haven’t been much. I know they give higher discount percentages to the moderate, and especially the deluxe resorts. Either way, we are excited to at least feel like we’re getting some free meals and snacks, even if it is “Disney math”, lol!
Really nice videos new subscribers here.
Thank you so much! ❤️
Not worth it, unless you are Home Simpson.
I often think it’s not worth it too, if the goal is to save money. We really liked it when we did it though, for the all-inclusive feel. We like to do it every once in a while as a treat ☺️
Just to let you know, we went to Disney in February and got the Sleepy Hollow Waffle as a snack credit. It is amazing and I highly recommend them. The chicken and waffle sandwich is a QS meal just in case you wanted to know.
Thanks so much for the recommendations! The chicken and waffle sandwich sounds amazing 🤤. I’m going to have to put that on my list for our next trip
Hi! I love your video and I love how you went into detail about the attractions! 😍 I do have a question, when do you think would be the best age to take your child to Disney? I’m a first time mom who’s never been to Disney and my daughter just turned 4 months but I want to make sure I’m planning things right 😭
Thank you!! That’s such a great question. I always say it’s never too early, because even if they don’t remember it, you still will! I will say thought that if I had to pick a specific age, I think between the ages of 2-5 is the perfect time. they think everything is so magical at that age. And they’re old enough to interact and really kind of understand what is going on, rather than a younger baby. They typically aren’t able to ride all the thrill rides due to height restrictions at those ages though, so if more thrilling rides are more of a priority, you might want to wait until a little older. Congrats! My son is almost 4 months old too, and I can’t wait until he’s old enough to experience Disney World ☺️
Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for this video. I am headed to Disney world in November and I am watching all the videos I can because I am super excited. We are a group of 5 and staying Wednesday to Sunday. Great information.
How fun! November is such a great time of year to visit ☺️. I hope you have the best trip!!
LOVE the Disney movie countdown idea. Six months is a commitment! Maybe once we are two months away from our upcoming trip.
lol yes, I don’t know what I was thinking 😂. 6 mo this was definitely too long. 2 months the out would probably be perfect!
Quick service to snack change plus price increase is Chapek effect
Haha, we call him Bob Paycheck in our house 🤭
The fries at Trails End are THE BEST!
Oooh, we’ve never been! I’ll have to put it on my list. We definitely need to check out more resort dining!
Is this Baby going to be a Boy or a Girl?
New subscriber, great video. You can still do Komari with packing cubes 😊
Thank you❤️!! And very, true! lol, I don’t know why I didn’t think of that 😂. I think maybe I just don’t like MY packing cubes because they are shallow and flimsy
