- It's Day 8 of our Walt Disney World vacation! We went back to Magic Kingdom today with a goal of doing different things than our previous day.
However, it started off a little rocky, both with some transportation issues and an intentional habit of falling into the same pattern we did on our first Magic Kingdom day.
But it didn't take too long before we started enjoying some attractions we'd missed the first time around.
Aside from that, we did try a lot more new food, including both meal locations. We ate lunch at the Contempo Cafe in the Contemporary Resort and had dinner at Ohana in the Polynesian Resort.

Thanks for taking me on vacation with your family
Disneyland is far superior than Disney world in every way, I’m so happy you highlighted this- there’s definitely a huge difference.
I love the little corn things! They remind me of my childhood
This has been my most favorite series so far! I love the long form content! Please keep it up.
He said this is the way lol 🤣
Parents relaxing for a bit finally 👍
That hotel looks so awesome!
Baby corn is the best 😂
My husband and I enjoyed coming along on vacation with you and your family. Thanks for the huge effort!
I love baby corn
Yess! All of the cast members we encountered at our Disneyland were very nice and and had good customer service. They answered our questions too.❤
The cookie cupcake num num. Looked amazing. Better than the Mike green blob. Amy's faces are awesome. I really do like Caribbean Beach. Met a girl in the Juneau Airport, noticed my Caribbean Beach travel tag. And said I used to work there. What a small world.
The lanyard with the key portion that pops off is smart. I also work in Education and you always have to lend out your keys. As soon as I win the lottery I’m staying at the Polynesian for a week! 🍍
Gooood morning
I like the baby corn
Love your vids. Can you do a vid where the boys control your day at disney
We are planning one for their birthdays. James on his and Benjamin on his. So they’ll be a few months apart. But James’s is coming up soon.
I love those corn on the cob things. especially when me and my family would go to a Chinese restaurant.
Yessss!!!! (Oo-kulele) 🤗 I always taught my students in Polynesian dance how to correctly pronounce the Hawaiian words 🌺 Loved this video! And yes for Ohana time in pool … unrecorded 😎😝
I loveee baby corn! I would eat a whole bowl of it! 😋😋
Thank you for the beautiful videos. 😊
That happened to us for rope drop once also. Bus did not show up on time and we had previously missed the 645 bus that came early. We pivoted, and went to space mtn and rode it three times over.
I've liked baby corn in the past, but it doesn't seem to be worth the trouble now. :) I'm glad you had some family time and didn't record. It looks like it was a fun vacation and now I want to eat at 'Ohana!!
Interesting what you said about cast members. I just had a friend who is a frequent WDWer say the exact opposite!
It truly could have just been the day. Then again, I can’t imagine it being any less miserable temperature and humidity wise today compared to May.
Another wonderful video!!! It looks so fun
I really like the little corn cobs. I don't think I would be able to eat at ohana because of my allergies to pineapple and coconut. Thank you for showing your trip
They can usually work around allergies if you discuss it with them ahead of time, but that would depend on how allergic you are because I’m sure the room is absolutely filled with it, but if it’s a consumption only thing, they probably have allergy dedicated pots and pans to avoid even cooking on the same stuff.
Whaat! I love baby corn! Seeing you board the monorail to the Polynesian reminded me one of my vlogs I looked back on recently from our honeymoon where I briefly mentioned we almost went on the wrong monorail on our way to Victoria & Albert's at the Grand Floridian! Haha!
Btw, if you ever find it in your budget for a future special occasion, I highly recommend Victoria & Albert's as a special dinner for you & Amy! It costs a pretty penny but it is worth a try at least once in your life! The best food and service we have EVER experienced! We still talk about it! 🤤
💎🏝️thank you for the Fun Videos🌟💎
That green blob looks odd. Amy had the same look on her face that did when I tried the Luca parfait thing at Disneyland. It grew on me too.
Those crabby CMs can really ruin your day. Several years ago, at Disneyland, I had a CM scream at me -- when all I did was stand in line -- about a Fast Pass for Splash Mountain-- "YOU HAVE TO HAVE A TICKET!" Then later that same day -- I had a performer (musician) on the Mark Twain who asked if anyone needed Mardi Gras beads; and I called down that I would like some beads; and since I was already wearing one strand -- he was really mean and told me that I didn't understand that I was already wearing a necklace. "Thank you for playing!" he called up in a very snarky way. I was so traumatized, I haven't been on the MT since that bad experience!
fwiw, a lot of the Ohana menu is available at the Tambu lounge. The last time we went, we grabbed some food to go and then watched the fireworks and electrical pageant from the beach. It also has the advantage of NOT having to try to get the dinner reservation at a decent time.
Now that Splash Mountain is in the rear view mirror, what do you think Disney is going to do about the Native American portrayal in Peter Pan?
I love that corn! And also I had the same experience with unhappy cast members but in Disneyland. Maybe they only like locals?
Thank you always including us in your vacations and yes, I do like the little corn on the cobs. Are you going to be in Disneyland between June 28 to July 2?
We will be starting at DCA on July 1st. I’m sure we will be at both parks at some point throughout the day though.
I love your choices of food and drink. I understand about the buses and feel sad for you. 😢 I really want to look up the recipe for that drink at Gastons.
The food is our favorite part of WDW. The morning bus issue was frustrating at the time, but it wasn’t such a big deal once we got going for the morning, thankfully. Still had an awesome day.
That resort looks massive compared to the original Disneyland.😮
It is. Magic Kingdom is huge. That has its benefits with a lot more space, and its downsides in more ground to cover walking.
@@SoCalDisneyDad Awesome trip, by the way! As a huge Disney fan and Disneyland magic key member I hope to make it there next year.
How are the Vessi's in the hot weather? Do they breathe at all?
Amy here- they have almost a wetsuit layer to them, so it felt slightly different than wearing a regular sneaker, however, I didn’t have any issues with them being overly hot and the one day it downpoured on us, I was very happy to find my socks and feet completely dry while everyone else walked the rest of the afternoon around in wet socks and shoes until we went back for a break.
Traver, would you please be able to show a video on what the costs would be for a first time Disney Traveler in both Disneyland and DisneyWorld. Avg price costs for a family of 4 and how you plan a Disney trip? Thank you so much, love watching your family videos.
Here’s one I did for Disneyland already. It can definitely be done cheaper, but this will give you an idea of the average family (from the East Coast flying to Disneyland. Same plane costs can be West Coast flying to WDW).

Will you do more aquariums and zoos? Love those videos.
Finally someone who mentions the cast members are rude. I've experienced rude cast members in Disney world so many times and I've excuses them each time but I agree that disneyland cast members are nice... yes some have had a bad day but we have experienced massive discrimination in Florida. I will say though that for discrimination problems Universal Florida is 1000% worse. Most cast workers are nice and helpful and I'm never rude in return to those who are in bad moods but I have seen a vast difference in the opposite coasts.
The one that really got me was when I went up to a counter to get a cup of water.
I usually get seen, and someone comes over and greets me, asks what I need, I mention the water, they smile, they grab a cup and hand it to me and they wish me a good day.
But this one particular instance I stood there for a few minutes while all cast members ignored me. When I said “excuse me” the cast member snapped “you’re in the wrong line”. I said “I just need a cup of water” to which she said “you’re in the wrong line” more forcefully. I stepped over one lane, she rolled her eyes and grudgingly got me a water. It was really rude.
@@SoCalDisneyDad wow that's so mean and sadly something I've seen happening more and more. My sister has a wheelchair but uses it as a walker and doesn't look disabled and we have been ignored, scoffed at and actually had 2 bus drivers, for the resort, refuse to board us cause we weren't at the front of the line. Once we were but the guy standing at the front said he was first and the second time the driver just didn't want to let anyone on from the wheelchair line even though the girl in front of us and we were ahead of everyone else in line. When we see a cat member who is clearly having a off day we try and be super nice, cause I work in customer service and people can be jerks, and normally this works and puts them in a better mood but across the board I've run into more rude people who are in customer service in the east than west coast. Sorry that happened to you.
@@SoCalDisneyDadI was wondering what happened! That is awful! What a shame!
I love baby corn too. I especially like it in Chinese stir fry. ❤ Question: may I ask where Amy got her Pooh tee? I love it!
I got it at Kohls- Amy
I went to Disney on jun 11 and I went to go get breakfast at the candy cane inn. I think I saw you there but I’m not sure if it was you. I love watching your videos it always gets me exited for Disney. Please reply soon.
It wasn’t me, unfortunately. We haven’t been up to Disneyland since May 28th. Hope you had an awesome time all the same!
Wdw is only fun now if u live nearby and if something goes wrong u can try again soon and you can take everything slowly around the parks
We did feel like we didn’t quite accomplish as much as we usually do. But we also weren’t rushing about this trip and tried to take it more slowly. But we could have used three days in each park almost with how much we still wanted to do.
@@SoCalDisneyDad yeah! Better to take it slow then burn yourselves out. I havent checked since august2023 but 2 weeks tickets for uk residents to wdw was/is £500 each😳
@@hollyrhodee That’s not bad for 2 weeks. A 10-day ticket for us (the max allowed for US residents) is $742, which is £585 roughly.
It’s unacceptable that cast members were rude to you, this goes against everything we expect from Disney. The Disney Magic is what makes us spend so much money on an amusement park. Otherwise what’s the point?! It is simply unacceptable! I’m sorry this happened to you.
I visited WDW 20 years ago and I found it to be very similar - WDW CM’s were not as kind and positive than Disneyland’s CM’s. Perhaps there should be a secret shopper/ghost rider employee to check out how CM’s are doing in the field.🤷🏻♀️
People in California are just NICER. Why? I dont know lol I've traveled to different cities, and Cali people are just friendly and upbeat.
How did you do that tron video of you and the little one like that? Is that something you get after riding the ride like the ride photos?? That was super awesome! Thanks so much, loving these video series!
Yes! It’s one of their Photopass things that you get for riding it. I think everyone gets it right now. Or maybe it’s cause we bought Genie+ for the day, but we didn’t buy an ILL for that ride, so I’m not sure how that works. But that video was available in my downloads!
@@SoCalDisneyDad did you use a Magic Band?
I love your blogs. We are from Canada and I look forward to your blogs so I can get an idea of what’s going on especially since this is going to be our first time going. I have a four year old grandson. I am taking who is borderline autism? I was wondering is there any areas in the park that can give as timeouts because he can get overstimulated I didn’t see much seating around the park. What would you recommend?
Magic Kingdom is particular is hard with that. I would focus on the attractions that allow you to sit down awhile if you need a break. Like the PeopleMover or the WDW Railroad. But that might even be stimulating if what he needs is time away from everything.
I can’t think of anywhere in the park where you can just go and sit that’s out of the way and away from crowds and noises.
This is where taking breaks in the afternoon can be vital, but it just takes so long to get to Magic Kingdom to consider any more than one break. Unless you stay somewhere like the Contemporary which has easy access to the park and you could come and go quickly. Any of the monorail resorts are good for that, but they’re also all deluxe resorts so cost is a factor.
I know you guys are going all over the place. Should we put off sending y'all mail?
We are home now! Have been since these videos started coming out actually as we didn’t do any work (outside of filming) during the trip.
I had scheduled two weeks worth of videos ahead of time so there wouldn’t be any gaps.
But we got back May 25th. So feel free to send mail, we’ll be here to get it.
Thank you!
Hey I love your videos and you have always helped with my vacation planning but i have a question about Disney World. Is it more about the food than the rides? I always assumed it would be more rides given the size but it seems like from your videos you end up hitting more food spots than rides. Like it feels like there are 5 rides in a day and then 6 restaurants and i was assuming it would be 12 rides and 3 eateries. Am i missing you mentioning rides that you didn't film or anything? Just asking because Disney World will be a huge expense but if its food and atmosphere heavy then i would rather prioritize other places for vacation. Also have you ever done a Disney Cruise? If not that would be amazing.
We did 12 rides in this video. One I did not show, but just mentioned it.
As I replied to your last comment to this regard, we did plenty of rides on all the days. Usually 10-15 on each day with the exception of Animal Kingdom that just does not have that many rides.
And we only ate at 4 food locations. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, and a snack.
First!
Hey, I’m planning a trip for October, One day at DCA and one day at Disneyland. Since it is close to Halloween, I am curious to know if either parks closes early (mainly for DCA oogie boogie night).. Is there a way to tell what events are going on with the selected dates I’m going? Like if the park closes early or if there is no fireworks. Thank you!
The list of dates for OBB are available here:
disneyland.disney.go.com/events-tours/disney-california-adventure/oogie-boogie-bash-halloween-party/#drawer-card-tickets-dates
Fireworks are only guaranteed on weekends, though the nighttime show will take place nightly, just with projections instead of fireworks on select nights. It’s hard to say what those nights will be until around 4-6 weeks out. But weekends are safer bets for fireworks (Friday through Sunday).
DCA closes at 6 PM on OBB nights.
