I don’t think I’ve seen Avatar; Flotillas sounds good and I’ve seen lots of goats so we don’t need to do that one.

So frustrated about booking a room because I can be pretty picky about my lodging! And I thought booking the flights from two different airports to arrive about the same time was stressful 😩

Which timeshares have you used near Disney

Hi there, I just I just wanted to let you know that I’ve already had Pott with my caregivers about going to Disneyland. Disney World give me and I asked her about the disability access pass and she said to me that because I am blind, hard of hearing, And I have cerebral palsy, and epilepsy, we should not have any problem with me getting denied into the park at all because the cast members will see me walking around with the companion using a cane, and they will notice that there is a blind person throughout the park And we will have to figure out how we can video chat with them, but that’ll be something gonna have to email disability access service on and I already had their email address on my phone so all I would need to do is call Disney World and ask them how we can do that And then hopefully start that out 30 days prior to arrival just to make sure that we’re all good to go and there’s nothing to worry about. We did not get a chance to go to Disney World because for one this summer, we ended up going to Jacksonville Florida instead because We, my mom and I went to the American Council of the Blind Diabetics in Action From July 4 through the 13th so we flew down on the fourth. We stayed all the way through the 13th, and then we went home so that’s why we did not get a chance to go to Disney World but, Disney World has been on my to do list for years, so now what we need to work out on is how do we make it to wear if we want to video chat 30 days prior to arrival how can we make it to where it will be more accessible for me because I cannot see for one, and I have an iPhone 14 Pro, and it has voiceover on it, and we would need to figure out how we can make it to where it be easier for that me to video chat with the cast member 30 days prior to arrival so that’s something we’re gonna have to look at a little bit and then also figure out you know what is it? We can do proof that I do have a disability you know can we call my neurologist office at the Providence epilepsy center in Spokane, and have them send an email to the disability access service explaining my disabilities or can we have, Dr. Casey docket at Providence family medicine North in Spokane email disability access service and explained to them my disabilities and limitations that they can have my needs on file prior to arrival set up when we do check in for the gas pass. That information has already been on file and all good to go so that they can see what my disability needs are on their computer screen so if you are, and if you go to Disney World next time, talk with one of the cast members, and ask them how we can work that out I know you mentioned that the new system was coming out in May and it’s already been that way ever since thenso if you guys can get in contact with one of the cast members, and get those questions you can let me know in the comments

Its been extra miserable this summer. Heat, humidity, and tons of rain. Add in god-awful costs, crowds, ugh! No was I’m paying that much for that misery.

Just have a dr report. Not just a note but dr review of need

3:58pm So glad you are planning this adventure! Can hardly wait to see it all. And glad there will be coffee! 😂

I have plantar fasciitis. I can’t stand for more than an hour without extreme pain. I have to pick between skipping rides or pay to skip the line. Under the new system my 90 grandma who can’t walk without a walker would be denied disability pass. How is this legal?

It's the lack of value. They took away magical express and fast pass and jacked up prices.... Universal is a way better value. We got season passes to two theme parks more local for less than the 4-day 4 park value pass to Disney.

You should try Mickeys Very Merry Christmas Party. Its very popular and bigger. It keeps updating. You also have Carosole of Progress at EPCOT. I have been 3 times from end of November through into December, you would love it. My mum was disappointed with the Halloween Party so I would not be surprised.

If i am with another person does that person need to join virtual queue aswell or can come with me in my party? Thank you!

According to Bob Iger, it's simply a reaction to the hot Florida weather. 😂

I was there on the 23rd of August. It was my first time going there.

Midwest?? Are you stopping by to see all of us? Also when in December?

Bye all you fakers.

I was just there this past Tuesday and there are things they can change,for example bring back the smoking sections instead of having them outside the entry way and not start Mickey's not so scary Halloween party until October because celebrating Halloween Halloween in August is ridiculous and bring back The Night of Joy

Every park we’ve been to since July has been slam packed and absolutely unenjoyable because of it. Along with the heat. I have no idea why anyone plans to come here during the summer, November-March are cooler and usually less crowded. I truly believe they’re saying crowds are lower but they’re fudging that, Disney has become less and less enjoyable since 2016 for many reasons. 💜

well, it’s not just that they’re not giving Das to people. They changed it back to the old system again. It went from having to go get a time and then returning, to a new system where it was like a lightning lane, back to the old system, where you have to wait the day of and get a time again. At least it’s not the very old system where you had to go to each ride and get a time. Because then I never knew what to do with the disabled person. In the meantime I mean, you can only eat so much and shop so much and the alternative was to stand in another lines so that made no sense at all, I think they’re just trying to push people to buy lightning lane that really doesn’t work well for the disabled because they don’t really do most of the thrill rides anyway.

Like the tink.. or the shirt I bought you when you left us here in So Il

I would love to go, but I only earn about 50K a year. You need to be making at least mid 6 figures to afford Disney these days sadly.

Oh and that's one of the reasons why is I was born with disabilities here's the thing when I was younger my father taught me well so I just knew it was time it was time to leave the Walt Disney Company alone

I live in the Tampa Bay area I'm not a timeshare guy

Bob Iger has truly done it and I forecasted when I left as an annual pass holder at Walt Disney World in 2008

Quick question… if ya have the dining plan that includes the free soda refills does that include special events/after hours? Thanks for your awesome advice and cool content!! Planning my first Disney as a solo September 2025!

I'll keep thi$ $imple: It'$ the co$t.

I sure do remember the Wonderful Workd of Disney on Sunday lights!! There was Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom show on first, then Disney (can’t remember what network, probably NBC since, back in the late 60’s, no cable, so the local station came in the clearest on the antenna. After Disney, it was time to leave my grandparent’s house and go home and get ready for bed. Thanks for that memory!! (62 yr old here….born 1962)

I am so thankful to have found this channel. Haven’t taken my kids since they were 1 and 3 when we were essentially gifted a trip going with my father’s work. Trying to keep up with their group all day was horrible. 25 of us, I did all of the fast passes and all of that. The kids will be 7 & 8 when I plan to take them early 2026. My eldest has special needs and I am unsure if she will qualify for DAS or exhibit the behavior she does that makes us iffy on line waiting for long periods at that time, will be binging this channel!! At this point I am looking at just doing MK and Epcot in 2026, and then try to go again 2028 when whatever they actually build from d23 is finished and they’re older and those other 2 parks are more their speed.

I am ambulatory wheelchair user. I can stand and walk very short ddistances but I cant stand or walk for a long time. I have FND(Functional Neurological Disorder), PTSD, anxiety, depression, and neuropathy. My body doesnt r3gulate heat well and due to FND, I am prone to sizures. Its sad that this is not a friendly, family experience for families anymore. As far as having to show "proof", here in the U.S., it is actually against the law for them to make a person prove a disability, unless you have witness that person blatantly being completely capable. If this doesn't change, not only will I not return to any of thier locations, I will no longer support them in merchandise or streaming app(s).

Thank you so much for your video! I've appreciated reading everyone's comments on Disney's DAS Pass. I don't know if I qualify for DAS for a while yet. My big issues are IBS (bathroom needs) and sun exposure (Sjogren's Disease) while in line. I also have severe spinal stenosis, but I know I won't get a DAS for that because I can take my rollator (or, if I end up needing it, a scooter) in the line, which is fine with me. I do not want to jump the line. I'm happy to wait like everyone else, but if I can do it in a shady area, that would be great. I won't need to worry about roller coasters since I plan to avoid thrill rides that might put too much pressure on my spine. All said I'm assuming I won't get a DAS. We'll see. Either way, I love Disney and can hardly wait to go!

If DAS changes have made such a big difference to overall park attendance then too many people were getting DAS as a proportion of total visitors. It is definitely the cost. The tickets we have purchased for our trip in August have cost $611 for 14 days entry. It includes park hopper, waterparks, photo pass and mini golf but it is still very expensive.

Only Epcot has been empty everywhere else has been busy.

Girlfriend the parks are not empty because of DAS changes. It’s the cost.

Its a recession issue- our economy sucks!

Six flags uses a system where you provide a Dr letter, you recertify every year. That’s what me n my daughter n I don’t n can’t ride. Busch n Sea World is so much accommodating to the disabled

the key is to #1 know your kids. my kids are both older now and we have been Disney nerds for 30 years. breaks, breaks, and more mid day breaks. rope droop to closing is just crazy. resort choice is so important. but I am also a HUGE proponent of no stoppers at age 4. teach your kids they have to work for it. if they get tired.....back to the hotel .......no napping in a stroller at age 8

I think what the bean counters at Disney did with DAS is just disgusting. If people are willing to lie on their children or themselves then let karma sort that out. Or you can just make people get notes from Specialists. It’s not against HIPPA Laws at all. We always sign things where our Child’s Specialist can share their medical history with other Doctors so that preposterous for Disney to say otherwise.

I don’t ruin my kids day at Disney. They ruin mine.lol with attitude!!!! And all that complaining!!!! 😅

Been AP holder since it was the 4 seasons pass. The last few years, Disney has made it clear that AP's aren't a priority. But the DAS changes were the final straw. Disney has said that we just shouldn't come there anymore, so we're done. It's so sad.

Some of this is also likely due to people waiting for Epic Universe to open.

So annoying all the changes really i’m going to wing it my park day. I’m over studying strategies and xyz

Well, Disneyland Resort is not empty.

The parks are not empty. Universal has even fewer people. It's because it is hot and it can be stormy. People are figuring out summer is not a great time to plan a vacation. It has nothing to do with DAS. Universal offered a $199 pass to Florida residents for a reason - they have attendance issues. You can look and see the weather delays all the time - and Universal has more of a problem with it because they have more outdoor rides. July has been busy, just not as busy in years past. February is much busier than it once was - it used to be very slow in February. It is a shift in when people plan trips.

Universal is down this summer and so is SeaWorld and Legoland. Maybe it’s a theme park issue or Florida tourism issue?

Personally I understand the need to have a strict DAS policy. If it’s too lax then people revert to their nature and take advantage. I think that it may have been too lax and people complained, rightly so, and Disney went too far the other direction. On our last trip we needed to take advantage of that DAS program because my wife was twards the end of recovery from her foot surgery that we didn’t know she was going to have prior to purchasing our vacation. And she tried to not use that perk unless she had to. But even we saw people that it’s was very obvious they were simply taking advantage of the system. We are going again in January next year and we hope it’s not as busy as it was in September 22. Our goal is to try to see the things we didn’t see in 22, everything else is gravy. If it’s slow at Disney it’s my opinion it’s a combination of several factors. 1 as you said the economy, 2 there was a lot of pent up travel from the pandemic closure, after things started opening up it coincided with the parks anniversary, 3 even way back in 22 it sure felt like Chapek was taking advantage of the park demand to jack up prices and reducing many years of “perks” that were included into paid additions. Even Iger admitted they probably increased too rapidly, 4 the hot summers in Florida. It’s hot and humid in Florida, like really humid to the point it’s unbearable for a lot of guests. 5 stagnation, which basically falls into a pretty complicated multi faceted reason. Mostly it’s that Disney over spent in its other divisions. Some due to unexpected fall out from park closures and others due to plain over spending. And 6 there likely is still some residual fall out over the spat with the state. I’d imagine that some of that has eased but is still relevant in some peoples mind. While I think Disney had the right to take a position it wound up making enemies from all sides. Disney is for everyone, as it should be, but their core focus should be quality entertainment. Period.

Disney's junk Genie+ app turns the experience into the same nickel and dime experience used to airlines. The best park experience would be to jump into a time machine and visit the parks in the 90's.

A resounding NO !!! We are a bi- costal family. We have decided not to renew our "Disney Annual Passes" at the conclusion of this fall season, and we have begun to cancel and modify all our reservations at the Disney theme parks. We as a family and myself have been Disney fans for generations and generations, and for myself, I have sixty-five years of perspective , with the Disney organization as a customer and client. They have reached the breaking point for us! enough is truly enough , at this point, with costs and other modifications of numerous other internal policies that impact a guest's enjoyment and access to domestic Disney parks. Since the reopening post, Covid Disney has become unrecognizable to us, and the product is beginning to degenerate and continues to be diminishing in quality and substance. Visiting a theme park should not require military planning and maneuvering. And the major component of anxiety, frustration, and disappointment in these days. as a permanently disabled individual who is unable to navigate the parks as someone who is fully able and as well as having family member who meets the legal definition of special needs Who are now being prohibited from the usage of any form of accommodation except for patronizing and condescending replies from cast members. We now find ourselves being strong-armed into abandoning the Disney brand and begin to seek other forms of enjoyment for Holiday vacations and entertainment , especially in regard to supporting other theme parks as Universal Studios and Knott's Berry Farm in California With sincere enthusiasm, We are anticipating the opening of Universal's Epic Universe, and we are planning accordingly to visit for this event. Each time we have visited any Universal's parks, we have been treated incredibly well, by far surpassing the bar and standard of the Disneyland of yesteryear. I must say.I appreciate the food quality even more but more of all it is enjoyable at those parks completely satisfied, content and fulfilled and very Happy quite the the contrary , as I have experienced with my family in the past several years with the Disney Theme parks. Not once regarding our special needs for our family and myself.Have never been shamed demeaned, degraded?Or disrespected as I have through the multiple times I have to be subjected to this process and perpetual renewal process with the D.A.S program with Disney. I can promise and guarantee Disney. They are going to lose a tremendous amount of revenue just from our family alone. But as well as extended family and also friends who feel and are compelled equally as we do have become extremely alienated from how Disney is trying to squeeze a nickel, but nowadays , additional dollars out of everyone's pocket with every step or queue we enter As well as every other aspect of any product available from food and all other products which continues to escalate across all areas which appears at times every other week. We would not mind as much, but the product diminishes as well the quality. You know what matters is where one's dollar is spent. You'd like to leave the place that one patrons content satisfied and happy. But fundamentally, we wish to feel respected and appreciated as a valued customer or a client. And this is becoming incessantly, more apparen't each and everyear and month That passes with Disney, they overpromise and they Do not deliver but more so underdelever Eventually if one lives long enough As we all know , it takes them six months to change the light bulb. Any company can only succeed only if they retain and maintain consistently the highest standards as Disney has always been known for in the past years , they cannot rely on and live off of and succeed from the past legacy of Walt Disney Forever ? Eventually, your customer will come to the realization that Donald wears no pants🫤 So sorry, Mickey. Hey, Bob say Goodbye.💰💰💰🥂

If DAS is making ot empty then it was definitely being abused.

Honestly, it is an embarrassment to tell people you are going to Disney on a vacation.

I went in February and it was literally shoulder to shoulder in many places. I wish it was empty.
