We always book a universal hotel stay for a night and you’re right, you get 2 days worth of express pass and it’s so worth it! We go in 219 days!! ✈️🐭✨
First ever trip to Disney world. We are going on 14th June staying at Coronado springs. We have been to Disneyland Paris 22 times with trip 23 in 6 days but so excited so see the world.
We have 84 days until our WDW trip... this will be my first time back in 15 years, first time with my husband who hasn't been since he was 8 years old and will also be our 3rd time lucky postponed trip post COVID for my 30th Birthday (which was 2 years ago🤦🏾♀️) and i can't wait! Brogan if i see you I will say 👋🏽... my husband and I are also hoping Adam and Gary are heading there the same time... honestly it's been you, Adam, Gary and Victoria who have kept me positive and buzzin for all this to come to an end and for us to get back to the Magic... so thank you 😊 💓
Disney isn’t really my thing but it’s so lovely to see your joy and enthusiasm about your holiday. As a wheelchair user who has to rely on strangers to get on and off a plane I’ve made the decision not to travel for the foreseeable, so I’m totally living vicariously through friends and TH-camrs who are finally able to get away. I hope it’s the best time for you both
I would love for you to do a video of all your plans before your trip, but post it online after your trip. Then do another video reviewing what went to plan and want didn't and why after your trip. I would also love a video of the top things eg: rides, foods, sights for someone who had less time.
My husband and I just got back from staying at pop century, you will LOVE being at a skyliner resort. We were glad we got park hoppers because we ended almost every night waking through Epcot to catch the skyliner back to the hotel. It was an extra treat at the end of each day!
I’m sure you might already know this but I’ve used Genie + in Disneyland and we loved it because of the way we used it. My tip is if you get it, get to the parks early and do all the popular rides first. Especially the ones that you know will have a high wait time later in the day. For example go through the regular line for BTM early morning where it will probably be at a 5 minute wait. And then later in the day, you can do it again with your Genie + when the regular wait time is 55 minutes. All examples of course but we did that and it was amazing! Got 14 rides done in 1 busy day at Disneyland and DCA :)
We just got back from WDW after a 2 week trip, it was so so magical to be back. Although it was super busy, especially for the time of year, we still had the best time. Like you guys we’ve been before so just took each day as it came and didn’t end up using genie+ at all! We rode our must dos either first thing or in the evening. Lunch at the Disney resorts was so much more relaxed and better value for money so worth popping out of the parks during the busy and hot midday time. We tried Citricos at The Grand Floridian this time and would highly recommend for a special date night. It was $$$$ but so so worth it! Steakhouse 71 lunch was also top notch! I’m sure you will have the most incredible time together and just enjoy being back in the magic 🌟🐭
I re-re-re-re-rewatched 😅 some of your old Disney vlogs and planning videos today, so this video is just the perfect way to end the day!!! Omg I’m so excited for you!! So many new places to go, things to do and snacks to eat! Thank you for sharing this with us. Cannot wait for the vlogs 🤩🥳
This is the best! The perfect Q and A…. I personally don’t think you need to give out park days… however maybe do a ‘must do’ in each park just before you go. The rest can be a surprise when we see the vlogs. So excited for you guys xx wooooop
I’d recommend going to old town in Kissimmee, it’s really fun and definitely comes alive at night! It’s a small town that has loads of shops, food, bars, rides and old vintage cars and throughout the week they do different shows and have different events going on so I would definitely recommend. It’s only 10 minutes from Disney, hope you have a really fun and magical trip☺️✨ xx
We went for Christmas, which was fantastic! We did Boma, Space 220 and Liberty Tree on Xmas day. Space 220 was ok but wouldn't rush back. Gideon's was amazing, went on our last day so brought 4 cookies home to enjoy! Skyliner is fantastic so use it as much as you can. Food prices seemed to have skyrocketed and where most of our money went. My husband really enjoyed Baseline TapHouse so if Benji likes beer you can do a choose your own beer flight. Woody's lunch box was yum and the meat eaters in our group loved Regal Eagle Smokehouse. Harmonious was so good, we watched it from in front of the Japan pavilion. Enjoy every second and can't wait for the vlogs!!!
i went to florida in 2016 and 2018 and for both those trips your videos were basically BIBLES to me! I’ve just booked for 2023 to take Logan and your trip falls perfectly before mine again for inspiration and to look out for when i go, i can’t wait to feel like we’re there with you, to watch you happy cry when you get to main street, see what the hard rock hotel is like and hear all your tips and tricks since the whole C word has happened ❤️❤️❤️
I love your vlogs, Brogan! I also love following Adam and Gary C. My daughter and I will be at Disney World in March of 2022 and I am watching loads of pack with me and Disney planning vlogs to get ready for the trip. Thank you for continuing to share your love of Disney with us. All the best to you and Benji!
190 days for us (August). Can’t wait and your vlogs will be the perfect preparation! We did same re Universal in 2018, kept the Disney hotel but booked 1 night at Universal (Loews Royal Pacific) to get the free express passes for 2 days so that makes absolute sense and financially was a no brainer for us. Happy planning!! ✨
Watched this with such a goofy grin on my face! So so so pleased for you!! This is so nostalgic for me as this is how I ‘properly’ found you last year as a newbie for going with your planning advice!! You’re brilliant at talking us through the process - makes me excited just thinking about it. We went in November 21 and there are things - most you mentioned! - that I’m like you HAVE to enjoy this but don’t wanna over hype it for you… but also…. ITS GONNA BE AMAZING!!! Eeeeep!!
My boyfriend and I also go to WDW for the first two weeks of May! It will be our first time there, so we are very excited! As first-timers, some things can be a bit overwhelming, so this Q&A was very helpful. Thank you!
Thank you so much Brogan this was soo helpful as I felt soo lost planning one for 2023! Please make a video on your trip to Universal during your time at Disney!
Yes! Just discovered your page from the Stitch Fix unboxing and saw you were a DisneyWorld fan - I went in December with my husband and going back in June with my sister :) xx
My family always stays at the Hard Rock Hotel for 2 nights of our trip. We have done club level and it’s so worth it! Also walking distance to the parks through a side entrance. You’ll love it x
I love how knowledgeable you are Brogan. We were last in Disney World in 2018 and I wish i was going back soon but we are going to wait until our little boy is older (we went before he was born) Hope you and Benji have the absolute best time xx
Funny watching that re “happy places”. My #1 happy place is actually Mallorca, I’ve been there so many times, and so many good family memories. Been to Disney World Florida once as a child in 1990, absolutely loved it then. No massive desire to go back, but maybe once for old times sake ! 😊 You’re first ever vlog I ever watched was you’re Tenerife vlog 🌴🌞 - you should definitely go back there ! 👍
So excited for your trip and ours. We arrive May 9 so I’ll keep my eyes peeled for you. We always go late April/ early May. Great weather and mild crowds.
I am going in a couple of weeks with what will then be my husband on our honeymoon! I can't wait, I am beyond excited and planning it has definitely been one of the best parts of the whole process!
Kobe Japanese steakhouse on international drive is a gorgeous restaurant for a date night dinner. The kind of fancy place where they cook in front of you. Also, we loved Miller's Alehouse for a lot of our evening meals. It's a proper American sports bar with the big TV screens up. Super nice, classic American food and really close to Disney!
Hi Brogan! We fly 10th May and we are staying at Pop Century. Hope you guys are still there?? You were my first vlogger I watched when I was planning our first trip back in 2019 and your vlogs really helped!
Me and my fiancé were meant to go to Disneyland in 2020 but I’m still abit nervous to rebook 😅 After seeing you get so excited and going this year is making me really want to rebook my trip! I can’t wait to see your Disney vlogs!😁
Ahh I'm so excited to see your videos from your trip! I'm currently trying to price things up in terms of staying on/off property and what is the best plan for transport for 2 people. It's so much to think about and budget for, so thanks for going over things that you have planned and paid for. Can't wait to see more from you!
I'm going in 5 days time, and I'm so excited! I've done my research especially as this is the first time I have booked it all myself after going to family in previous times. We have a load of food places booked, shopping days, water parks days! I can't wait to vlog and enjoy the magic after almost 8 years! Hope you have a fab time and I'm looking forward to your vlogs! xx
Did you find that you were able to book every restaurant that you wanted? I'm not seeing loads of availability. Maybe it's just because I can only see 60 days ahead right now.
My fiancee and I stayed at Pop Century for the last couple days of our last Disney trip back in 2019 and I loved it so much there that we are staying for our whole trip back at the end of the year (🤞). You will love how much it actually feels like Disney and the convenience of the sky liner. Can't wait to follow along!!
Ohhhh I can’t wait to live vicariously through your vlogs Brogan! We’re off to NYC in a couple weeks, and the cancellation anxiety is still real! 🤣 Been watching your old New York vlogs repeatedly 🥺
You could find a Walmart or Target close by to stock up on snacks/drinks for your hotel room and I think most of them have some Disney merch for much cheaper than inside the parks. Also there are Disney Character outlets close by for merch. I'm sure you know all about those suggestions, but just in case! Love your idea to explore really good restaurants. I love to eat haha so I'm looking forward to seeing what you get and for your reviews!
We’ve just come back from our trip, and you HAVE to try Congo River Golf! There’s a few of them scattered around Orlando, and they’re always so much fun!! And we did fly drive with Virgin Holidays too, driving in Florida isn’t actually as scary as it seems! I was surprised at how easily we took to it, I’d never driven anywhere other than the UK and I feel super comfortable driving in Orlando now. Fuelling up is fine, we did it twice and the ones we used were exactly like the pay at pump we have here. The only issue we had is our Revolut travel cards, for some reason they wouldn’t work for fuel.
There are so many mini golf courses along the 192 ,you have to try them out!! Look out for coupon books too!! You have to go to the mall at millennia and go to the cheesecake factory you will love it!! Bob Evans or ihop is also our favourite for breakfast! You should go to Old Town in Kissimmee too! has a great atmosphere in the evenings at the weekend!! 💜
We head to disney in Feb 2023! We love your videos and can't wait to watch your vlogs! Would love you to do the dining booking video! My dad is very nervous! Our 60 days out is 30th December and I have tasked him with making the dining reservations! He'd love to see the process before he actually does it
We had the $504 dining credit and used it for breakfast and evening meals, I just paid for the special places like Rainforest Cafe, Planet Hollywood. Genie is not bad as it is free, Genie+ you will only need in MK & HS, we found it really good in MK but HS was tricky most things going very quickly. We only paid extra for one Individual Lighting Lane which was the Rise of the Resistance and so worth it when the queues are 3+hrs long. We stayed at All Star Movies and was great for us. We used Disney transport, buses, monorail, Skyliner all very good. We kept as safe as we good masks, kept distance, sanitized. You will have a fab time and I can't wait to watch your videos.
Just got back to Canada after 1 week , very very busy. Loved all the new stuff and the castle is beautiful. Even super crowded we didn’t need lightening lane and rode everything
And yes you are correct you can use genie plus in multiple parks when you park hop. We did HS, Epcot and MK in one day and used genie + in all 3. While you are still in your first park you can change your genie + settings to your next park and book your next booking.
Your Disney Vlogs make soooo excited! 🤩🤩🤩 We have 115 days to go and I am with you I get emotional just thinking about being back there!! Definitely made sense booking the Hard Rock for a night to get the 2 days express pass we did this in 2019 and the hotel is fab. I watched your 2018 vlogs and have mirrored your spreadsheet for all my disney trips.. planning the trip is definitely part of the excitement! Look forward to more planning vlogs from you between now and May😁🤍
We are headed on our first Walt Disney world trip in august this year! I am beyond excited I think about it every day! I would love to see a video where you show us your spreadsheet! I have one too! Most excited for your come pack with me video rewatch your original Florida packing videos at least once a week xxx
Sooo excited for your trip and of course the vlogs, your last ones are my absolute comfort videos 😂 the universal night sounds incredible, highly suggest a baseball game especially a day or early evening game as it goes kind of slowly so you can really get into the vibe and rules, my fave sport to watch! X
I grew up in Florida and I can tell you May is going to be pretty hot and humid during the day and at night. You might also get some rain showers in the afternoons (there is usually a storm every day in summertime around 3 or 4 o'clock lol but that's usually more around June-August). Schools in Florida typically end their semester around mid-May (and colleges usually have their finals beginning of May typically) so you might miss the start of the summer crowd! I know you're a WDW pro, but I hope this helps :)
Yay my question made it! My partner and I are going in May too, I’m so excited! We went to the Kennedy Space Centre in 2018 and loved it - I’d recommend for sure. We’re going again this year.
Lightening Lane is the physical line (the old fast pass lines) so you will also be using the lightening lanes for Genie+ as well as the for the fancy rides. Bit addicted to Molly's videos on allears so know this even though we don't have a trip planned :'(
Hey! Flying Fish on the boardwalk is honestly incredible for steak the wagyu steak is out of this world The belly pork starter was phenomenal we ended up going back again because it was so good Expensive but honestly the perfect date night for something extra special!
I've got Paris booked for it's 30th Anniversary and this video has just made me even more excited! I hope you have the most fantastic trip, you have inspired me for my first WDW trip! :)
Brogan, OHANA for dinner is 100% worth it. Yes, it is expensive, but oh my god, they have THE BEST grilled chicken I have ever eat in my life 😍 I went in 2019 and I still think about it now 😂 Everything is delicious, the ambience is just perfect and they have tables with view to Magic Kingdom and you can see the fireworks from there. Just perfect perfect perfect!
I wanted to add that we stayed at Pop last weekend! HS opened at 9am but they let us in at 8am. We were in line for Minnie’s Runaway by 810. They didn’t open the ride until 8:30 but it was a walk on for us when they did open it. So they aren’t advertising it but they are letting you into the ride queues before the official opening time for resort guests.
Recommended restaurants off property : Olive Garden Cheesecake Factory Bahama Breeze Giordano's Miller's Alehouse (Winter Garden Vineland Avenue location) - get the chicken nachos! Café Tu Tu Tango - tapas Fogo de Chão Brazilian restaurant Taverna Opa Greek restaurant at Pointe Orlando Sizzler and Golden Corral for breakfast buffets. I've heard good things about The Melting Pot (fondue restaurant) but haven't been myself. Old Town in Kissimmee is fun to visit, especially in evenings. I think Michael Kay has some videos on it. 💕
We went in april/May in 2016 for our honeymoon and it was perfect! Great weather so enjoy. We Will hopefully be there in 22 days! Staying at coronoado springs. First time on property. Some restaurants on our list for outside disney are olive garden, rock and brews, miller's, longhorn steakhouse. Don't forget, as you have a car it will be easier to go to Walmart/target for snacks etc too i can't wait to get back and enjoy disney with my little boy for his first time! 💙
You may correct/elaborate but I paused so I wouldn’t forget. It is my understanding, and experience, you can book first genie + at 7am…but you can’t book the next one until 2 hrs after park opens. And when you tap in I don’t think you are cleared until the second tap in to book next one. And when you buy lightening lane you are only allowed 2 per day is my understanding. But you can purchase for your park hopping park. It’s very confusing…you’ll spend the first couple of days trying to figure it out and then try to remember how you did it🤣. Take screen shots of of everything you book.
Pre record detail plans for each day all details of booking what you plan doing each day then put it up day before you come home then it's private for you and Benji as it has always happened.
We always hire a car when we go to Disneyworld and we absolutely love it, it gives you so much more freedom to explore. We take our own satnav just make sure its up to date before you go you do get a satnav with the alamo car hire but we found that its easier to use your own. Highly recommend the Pirates Cove mini golf and cheesecake factory :) looking forward to the vlogs!
So excited to see the vlogs from when you guys get back from Orlando! Your last vlogs essentially convinced me and my boyfriend to book our first trip to Orlando and we are going for the first time in September ☺️ so excited and can’t wait to get some inspo from your trip ☺️❤️
10 days until I return and it can’t come soon enough. Also staying in Pop Century so will report back once I’ve been. Love your Disney vlogs and info. Have a wonderful time xx
Love your Disney Vlog. We went May 2019 for two weeks and it was 36-40 degrees most days. I love the heat so it didn’t bother me but my boys found it really hot especially walking about in it. I can’t wait to go back 2024 xxx
The ice cream sandwich from Dino Bites in Animal Kingdom was AMAZING!!! Definitely recommend! Enchanted Rose is beautiful. I'm so excited for you to return and experience the magic again!
Were heading back to Orlando on the 24th of September this year!! I would totally recommend cracker barrel- one of the best and cheapest places to eat and the places are so cute!😍 Millers ale house is also really nice too and then don’t forget twistee treats! 🥰😍🤩
We go in 277 days just in time for Halloween day and the day Christmas starts at Magic Kingdom and my birthday!!! I can’t wait to see your vlogs when you get back
We are going in early May too. I’m so excited. I would recommend a Tampa Bay Rays baseball game if you can see one. The rules should be pretty easy to understand. Hockey games may be dependent on if they make it to the playoffs, so that might be hard to schedule. The regular season ends in late April if you can make it work. I love hockey!
If you are looking for a great southern food experience definitely add Homecoming to your restaurant list for Disney Springs Wine Bar George at Disney Springs has the best BRUNCH it’s only on Sunday’s so definitely look into setting a reservation. Off property breakfast = Hash House A GoGo, delicious and you guys could split one entree and be stuffed! Bull and Bear - it’s located in the Waldorf Astoria hotel. Such a great dinning experience and the food is chefs kiss!! Oh and the cocktails are fabulous! This would be a great date night option.
218 days and definitely counting!😂 So excited for you, thanks for the helpful Disney videos as always, they’re my favourites!! Not long now eeeek, cannot wait for the new vlogs ❤️
Crazy golf, get yourself down I drive. Winter Garden is a beautiful town 20mins from Disney. Rosalie le French cafe is awesome. Half price top golf Tuesday which is great fun
Great q&a 😊 as a recommendation for something to do off property you could always try and do a kayak trip through the local creeks in Kissimmee- really peaceful and a great break from the parks. Another fun attraction is gator land. Further afield you could try an airboat tour and spot some alligators x
Absolutely love your Disney content ( I have watched your Disney vlogs at least 200 times... its the only way to I can fall asleep by watching them 😂 ) about to go make a cuppa now and watch this vid 💙
Hey Brogan - great vlog - can not wait to watch the vlogs from your upcoming trip!!! You and Benji should try Lost Caverns Adventure Golf. Its such a lush atmosphere (waterfalls, river, etc.) and if you love Animal Kingdom I think you would love the vibe here. Have fun! xxx
When I was in Disney over Christmas, there was only one ride per park that was Lightning Lane. For example, Mickey and Minnie’s was on Genie+ but Rise was still Lightning Lane. Not sure if that was just for the holidays though. I’d highly recommend Lightning Lane for any new ride you know you want to do(Rise, Ratatouille) at least for the first time. The line for Rise was over 3 hours all day when I was there in December, so we bought Lightning Lane in the morning. Also, if you are going to do Lightning lane, buy it right away in the morning because sometimes they do run out of slots by the afternoon
16 days!!!!!! Totally feel you on the C19 anxiety. As a family we’ve avoided it all through this pandemic so far (touches wood!!!!) and now we’re so close I want to wear a hazmat suit whenever I leave the house just incase as I would be crushed if any of us tested positive on that crucial fit to fly test

I’m on my countdown going June 1st xx
We have 84 days until our WDW trip... this will be my first time back in 15 years, first time with my husband who hasn't been since he was 8 years old and will also be our 3rd time lucky postponed trip post COVID for my 30th Birthday (which was 2 years ago🤦🏾♀️) and i can't wait!

I love that!! Xx
And catching the fireworks from the skyliner😍

You will love going in May! We have been many times in April, May and August. End of April and May has been the perfect weather!
Yes! Just discovered your page from the Stitch Fix unboxing and saw you were a DisneyWorld fan - I went in December with my husband and going back in June with my sister :) xx
Love seeing you light up talking about disney 🙌
My family always stays at the Hard Rock Hotel for 2 nights of our trip. We have done club level and it’s so worth it! Also walking distance to the parks through a side entrance. You’ll love it x

Also, we loved Miller's Alehouse for a lot of our evening meals. It's a proper American sports bar with the big TV screens up. Super nice, classic American food and really close to Disney!
So excited for you guys!! We're going to Disneyland in September!! 😍🥳✨🏰
Hi Brogan! We fly 10th May and we are staying at Pop Century. Hope you guys are still there?? You were my first vlogger I watched when I was planning our first trip back in 2019 and your vlogs really helped!
Pop is amazing! Skyliner is a game changer!!!!
Me and my fiancé were meant to go to Disneyland in 2020 but I’m still abit nervous to rebook 😅 After seeing you get so excited and going this year is making me really want to rebook my trip! I can’t wait to see your Disney vlogs!😁
Ahh I'm so excited to see your videos from your trip! I'm currently trying to price things up in terms of staying on/off property and what is the best plan for transport for 2 people. It's so much to think about and budget for, so thanks for going over things that you have planned and paid for. Can't wait to see more from you!
Our trip tradition is to go to Jungle Golf, we love it!
I'm going in 5 days time, and I'm so excited! I've done my research especially as this is the first time I have booked it all myself after going to family in previous times. We have a load of food places booked, shopping days, water parks days! I can't wait to vlog and enjoy the magic after almost 8 years! Hope you have a fab time and I'm looking forward to your vlogs! xx
Have the best time!! Xx
Did you find that you were able to book every restaurant that you wanted? I'm not seeing loads of availability. Maybe it's just because I can only see 60 days ahead right now.
@@Lyces Yeah I booked them all. You have to be quick. While we were there, there were tables available for certain places so just keep checking!
Recently watched a vlog of the pirate cover mini golf on international drive, looked great with waterfalls and ships! Looks amazing!
Ooh noted, thanks Stephanie!! xx
My fiancee and I stayed at Pop Century for the last couple days of our last Disney trip back in 2019 and I loved it so much there that we are staying for our whole trip back at the end of the year (🤞). You will love how much it actually feels like Disney and the convenience of the sky liner. Can't wait to follow along!!
I love that!! Xx
Ohhhh I can’t wait to live vicariously through your vlogs Brogan! We’re off to NYC in a couple weeks, and the cancellation anxiety is still real! 🤣 Been watching your old New York vlogs repeatedly 🥺
How exciting that you're at double digits! Looking forward to the vlogs x
Can’t believe it’s finally happening!! X
You could find a Walmart or Target close by to stock up on snacks/drinks for your hotel room and I think most of them have some Disney merch for much cheaper than inside the parks. Also there are Disney Character outlets close by for merch. I'm sure you know all about those suggestions, but just in case! Love your idea to explore really good restaurants. I love to eat haha so I'm looking forward to seeing what you get and for your reviews!
Please do a separate video on Genie plus. It would be so helpful x
We’ve just come back from our trip, and you HAVE to try Congo River Golf! There’s a few of them scattered around Orlando, and they’re always so much fun!!
And we did fly drive with Virgin Holidays too, driving in Florida isn’t actually as scary as it seems! I was surprised at how easily we took to it, I’d never driven anywhere other than the UK and I feel super comfortable driving in Orlando now. Fuelling up is fine, we did it twice and the ones we used were exactly like the pay at pump we have here. The only issue we had is our Revolut travel cards, for some reason they wouldn’t work for fuel.
Highly recommend Outback Steakhouse! Best meal we had in Florida, a bit spendy but it was gorgeous! x
I’m almost tearing up with you! 🥺 so excited for you! It’s been a long time coming for us all back here in the uk 🥺❤️
There are so many mini golf courses along the 192 ,you have to try them out!! Look out for coupon books too!!
You have to go to the mall at millennia and go to the cheesecake factory you will love it!! Bob Evans or ihop is also our favourite for breakfast!
You should go to Old Town in Kissimmee too! has a great atmosphere in the evenings at the weekend!! 💜
Cannot wait for the pack with videos!!❤ beyond excited... I am following your pack with me for help for our holiday this year x
We head to disney in Feb 2023! We love your videos and can't wait to watch your vlogs! Would love you to do the dining booking video! My dad is very nervous! Our 60 days out is 30th December and I have tasked him with making the dining reservations! He'd love to see the process before he actually does it
We had the $504 dining credit and used it for breakfast and evening meals, I just paid for the special places like Rainforest Cafe, Planet Hollywood. Genie is not bad as it is free, Genie+ you will only need in MK & HS, we found it really good in MK but HS was tricky most things going very quickly. We only paid extra for one Individual Lighting Lane which was the Rise of the Resistance and so worth it when the queues are 3+hrs long. We stayed at All Star Movies and was great for us. We used Disney transport, buses, monorail, Skyliner all very good. We kept as safe as we good masks, kept distance, sanitized. You will have a fab time and I can't wait to watch your videos.
Just got back to Canada after 1 week , very very busy. Loved all the new stuff and the castle is beautiful. Even super crowded we didn’t need lightening lane and rode everything
And yes you are correct you can use genie plus in multiple parks when you park hop. We did HS, Epcot and MK in one day and used genie + in all 3. While you are still in your first park you can change your genie + settings to your next park and book your next booking.
Your Disney Vlogs make soooo excited! 🤩🤩🤩 We have 115 days to go and I am with you I get emotional just thinking about being back there!! Definitely made sense booking the Hard Rock for a night to get the 2 days express pass we did this in 2019 and the hotel is fab. I watched your 2018 vlogs and have mirrored your spreadsheet for all my disney trips.. planning the trip is definitely part of the excitement! Look forward to more planning vlogs from you between now and May😁🤍
Thank you so much Brogan. We’re going in April and I am soooo excited 💫. Loving the snack list 😆
We are headed on our first Walt Disney world trip in august this year! I am beyond excited I think about it every day! I would love to see a video where you show us your spreadsheet! I have one too! Most excited for your come pack with me video rewatch your original Florida packing videos at least once a week xxx
We rented a car and loved it ,I was nervous too. Game changer
So excited for your Disney content me and my mum will visiting at the same time as you both also staying at pop so hope to see you there ☺️!
Sooo excited for your trip and of course the vlogs, your last ones are my absolute comfort videos 😂 the universal night sounds incredible, highly suggest a baseball game especially a day or early evening game as it goes kind of slowly so you can really get into the vibe and rules, my fave sport to watch! X
I grew up in Florida and I can tell you May is going to be pretty hot and humid during the day and at night. You might also get some rain showers in the afternoons (there is usually a storm every day in summertime around 3 or 4 o'clock lol but that's usually more around June-August). Schools in Florida typically end their semester around mid-May (and colleges usually have their finals beginning of May typically) so you might miss the start of the summer crowd! I know you're a WDW pro, but I hope this helps :)
Also, I LOVE Pop Century.. one of my favorites as a kid :)
You can certainly see how excited you are to be heading back to your happy place ❤️ loved the vlog x
We can’t wait!! x
Cannot WAIT for these vlogs! You and Benji are the dream team 😍 xxx
Yay my question made it! My partner and I are going in May too, I’m so excited! We went to the Kennedy Space Centre in 2018 and loved it - I’d recommend for sure. We’re going again this year.
Lightening Lane is the physical line (the old fast pass lines) so you will also be using the lightening lanes for Genie+ as well as the for the fancy rides.
Bit addicted to Molly's videos on allears so know this even though we don't have a trip planned :'(
You’re right it’s the name of the physical lane but it’s also the name of the “fancy rides”, the ones you pay extra for like Rise Of The Resistance x
Thanks for answering all the questions! Planning is half the fun. 😀
Hey!
Flying Fish on the boardwalk is honestly incredible for steak the wagyu steak is out of this world
The belly pork starter was phenomenal we ended up going back again because it was so good
Expensive but honestly the perfect date night for something extra special!
I've got Paris booked for it's 30th Anniversary and this video has just made me even more excited! I hope you have the most fantastic trip, you have inspired me for my first WDW trip! :)
Have the best time!! xx
Brogan, OHANA for dinner is 100% worth it. Yes, it is expensive, but oh my god, they have THE BEST grilled chicken I have ever eat in my life 😍
I went in 2019 and I still think about it now 😂
Everything is delicious, the ambience is just perfect and they have tables with view to Magic Kingdom and you can see the fireworks from there. Just perfect perfect perfect!
I wanted to add that we stayed at Pop last weekend! HS opened at 9am but they let us in at 8am. We were in line for Minnie’s Runaway by 810. They didn’t open the ride until 8:30 but it was a walk on for us when they did open it. So they aren’t advertising it but they are letting you into the ride queues before the official opening time for resort guests.
Please can you do a guide on how to reserve the Disney parks and any dining reservations pls
Recommended restaurants off property :
Olive Garden
Cheesecake Factory
Bahama Breeze
Giordano's
Miller's Alehouse (Winter Garden Vineland Avenue location) - get the chicken nachos!
Café Tu Tu Tango - tapas
Fogo de Chão Brazilian restaurant
Taverna Opa Greek restaurant at Pointe Orlando
Sizzler and Golden Corral for breakfast buffets.
I've heard good things about The Melting Pot (fondue restaurant) but haven't been myself.
Old Town in Kissimmee is fun to visit, especially in evenings. I think Michael Kay has some videos on it. 💕
We went in april/May in 2016 for our honeymoon and it was perfect! Great weather so enjoy. We Will hopefully be there in 22 days! Staying at coronoado springs. First time on property. Some restaurants on our list for outside disney are olive garden, rock and brews, miller's, longhorn steakhouse. Don't forget, as you have a car it will be easier to go to Walmart/target for snacks etc too i can't wait to get back and enjoy disney with my little boy for his first time! 💙
You may correct/elaborate but I paused so I wouldn’t forget. It is my understanding, and experience, you can book first genie + at 7am…but you can’t book the next one until 2 hrs after park opens. And when you tap in I don’t think you are cleared until the second tap in to book next one. And when you buy lightening lane you are only allowed 2 per day is my understanding. But you can purchase for your park hopping park. It’s very confusing…you’ll spend the first couple of days trying to figure it out and then try to remember how you did it🤣. Take screen shots of of everything you book.
Pre record detail plans for each day all details of booking what you plan doing each day then put it up day before you come home then it's private for you and Benji as it has always happened.
I am so happy you are able to go this year. We are heading down in September 2022.
We always hire a car when we go to Disneyworld and we absolutely love it, it gives you so much more freedom to explore. We take our own satnav just make sure its up to date before you go you do get a satnav with the alamo car hire but we found that its easier to use your own. Highly recommend the Pirates Cove mini golf and cheesecake factory :) looking forward to the vlogs!
Thanks so much for all the info!!! We’re going 2 weeks after and can’t wait to see your stories and get excited for our trip!
So excited to see the vlogs from when you guys get back from Orlando! Your last vlogs essentially convinced me and my boyfriend to book our first trip to Orlando and we are going for the first time in September ☺️ so excited and can’t wait to get some inspo from your trip ☺️❤️
10 days until I return and it can’t come soon enough. Also staying in Pop Century so will report back once I’ve been. Love your Disney vlogs and info. Have a wonderful time xx
Love Caribbean Beach - love the space and the grounds
Love your Disney Vlog. We went May 2019 for two weeks and it was 36-40 degrees most days. I love the heat so it didn’t bother me but my boys found it really hot especially walking about in it. I can’t wait to go back 2024 xxx
The ice cream sandwich from Dino Bites in Animal Kingdom was AMAZING!!! Definitely recommend! Enchanted Rose is beautiful. I'm so excited for you to return and experience the magic again!
Were heading back to Orlando on the 24th of September this year!! I would totally recommend cracker barrel- one of the best and cheapest places to eat and the places are so cute!😍 Millers ale house is also really nice too and then don’t forget twistee treats! 🥰😍🤩
Off to LA/Disneyland for the first time in April for my hubby's 40th birthday. 65 DAYS TO GO!!! 😍
Love hearing your answers and plans and snacks!!!! 🤩 we love longhorn and applebees got off site restaurants! ❤️
*for off site restaurants lol
We did lots of long walks with backpacks and jogging before our Disney holiday, “Fit for Florida” was our mantra 😂 I’m sure it helped though!
Amazing 🤣👍
We go in 277 days just in time for Halloween day and the day Christmas starts at Magic Kingdom and my birthday!!! I can’t wait to see your vlogs when you get back
We are going in early May too. I’m so excited. I would recommend a Tampa Bay Rays baseball game if you can see one. The rules should be pretty easy to understand. Hockey games may be dependent on if they make it to the playoffs, so that might be hard to schedule. The regular season ends in late April if you can make it work. I love hockey!
If you are looking for a great southern food experience definitely add Homecoming to your restaurant list for Disney Springs
Wine Bar George at Disney Springs has the best BRUNCH it’s only on Sunday’s so definitely look into setting a reservation.
Off property breakfast = Hash House A GoGo, delicious and you guys could split one entree and be stuffed!
Bull and Bear - it’s located in the Waldorf Astoria hotel. Such a great dinning experience and the food is chefs kiss!! Oh and the cocktails are fabulous! This would be a great date night option.
Going 2nd week of may for the first time!!!!! Staying at pop century and we can’t wait !!!!!! 😁
218 days and definitely counting!😂 So excited for you, thanks for the helpful Disney videos as always, they’re my favourites!! Not long now eeeek, cannot wait for the new vlogs ❤️
Love all the pre-trip Disney videos!!
Crazy golf, get yourself down I drive. Winter Garden is a beautiful town 20mins from Disney. Rosalie le French cafe is awesome. Half price top golf Tuesday which is great fun
Great q&a 😊 as a recommendation for something to do off property you could always try and do a kayak trip through the local creeks in Kissimmee- really peaceful and a great break from the parks. Another fun attraction is gator land. Further afield you could try an airboat tour and spot some alligators x
Wine Bar George is fabulous for drinks and amazing small plates in Disney Springs.
Absolutely love your Disney content ( I have watched your Disney vlogs at least 200 times... its the only way to I can fall asleep by watching them 😂 ) about to go make a cuppa now and watch this vid 💙
Oh bless you!! Can’t wait to bring new vlogs this year 😍✨
Loved your Q & A on Disney , so exciting . Lots of really helpful information. We’ve got 103 days till we go ….. can’t wait x
Thanks Natalie!! Xx
Still looking at best way of booking Florida for 2023, but jst booked Disneyland paris for July and I can’t wait it’s been too long for us 🥰🏰 xx
Hey Brogan - great vlog - can not wait to watch the vlogs from your upcoming trip!!! You and Benji should try Lost Caverns Adventure Golf. Its such a lush atmosphere (waterfalls, river, etc.) and if you love Animal Kingdom I think you would love the vibe here. Have fun! xxx
When I was in Disney over Christmas, there was only one ride per park that was Lightning Lane. For example, Mickey and Minnie’s was on Genie+ but Rise was still Lightning Lane. Not sure if that was just for the holidays though. I’d highly recommend Lightning Lane for any new ride you know you want to do(Rise, Ratatouille) at least for the first time. The line for Rise was over 3 hours all day when I was there in December, so we bought Lightning Lane in the morning. Also, if you are going to do Lightning lane, buy it right away in the morning because sometimes they do run out of slots by the afternoon
We are going first 2 weeks in May as well. So so excited!! Second time for us x
16 days!!!!!! Totally feel you on the C19 anxiety. As a family we’ve avoided it all through this pandemic so far (touches wood!!!!) and now we’re so close I want to wear a hazmat suit whenever I leave the house just incase as I would be crushed if any of us tested positive on that crucial fit to fly test
