We did the after hours in Epcot in February!! It was amazing ( cold 🥶) !! empty - walk ons for every ride we wanted !! Galaxy’s Edge walk on - Remy walk in ( did see though how long & entertaining queues are ) We had dinner late (8:30ish )at the rose and crown ( yummy ) which worked perfectly - saw the fireworks but were inside warm ! Definitely next trip would love to do the night events and resort hop more during the day ! We were at our fav Polynesian- so pool time - breakfast - lunch - dinner then you are ready for late night !! Getting back late can be a pain if the resort monorails are closed but - worth it !!! Totally worth it when you add costs of genie+ & lightning lanes !! When we were there each day $20 per genie+ &$20 per lightning ( it adds up quickly and there were only 2 of us -cannot fathom families of 5-6 we saw ) if you are going on a budget - figure it all in or you will be shocked at your check out bill !!!!
February is one of the few times I’ll find myself in Disney World actively seeking out HOT soups and drinks rather than all the refreshing stuff. (…Okay, that’s not entirely true. I’d probably eat soup any time of the year. But it’s ESPECIALLY nice during the chilly seasons! Hee hee.)
I’m predicting that: 1) Tiana’s Bayou Adventure will open with a Virtual Queue & Individual Lightning Lane. 2) TRON will transition to a Standby Queue & Individual Lightning Lane. 3) Seven Dwarfs Mine Train will transition to a Standby Queue & Genie+ Lightning Lane.
So excited about the conference centers that they are building in Epcot that will make future world into a nice new addition to the giant Bar that the park is becoming.
@@extrojan22 Universal Hollywood, Orlando, Japan, Singapore, and Beijing. Cmon now you can’t be that boot licking for Disney, they are being lazy as hell and you know it.
Yesss! It would be fun to have a place where villains could gather as well, so ones that may already be able to be found in the park like Dr. Facilier, but maybe some exclusives as well. Or y'know, adding new characters. It's sad the only version of Zurg currently seen in the park is after the Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger ride/game, and he's just a sculpture in jail. Imagine this realm being like an alternate universe ruled by Zurg...Or it could be that dude from Fantasia. Though maaan, imagine a place where you could have some chaotic fun in general...I'm a self-proclaimed "villain" and while I wouldn't break the law in real life, I'd love to play games where I'm tormenting other worlds or ruling over them, etc. (come now, you think I'd really live the villain life in real life??)
Oh man, It's Hard Being a Bug was a fave show of mine...I'm sad it's leaving, as much as I enjoyed Zootopia. I'm gonna miss it; Pretty sure I saw it twice the last time I was there -- and i was like...10 or 11. I'm a freaking adult now.
Have you SEEN the new animatronics for the Tatiana’s Bayou ride?!? I just watched your video yesterday and you mentioned they’re redoing Splash Mountain, and today I see a TH-cam channel called Walt Disney Imagineering - I used to obsessively watch the old Disney show called Imagineer That!, so of course I clicked. First episode, uploaded only 8 hours ago, showcases the GORGEOUS new animatronics for Tatiana and Co!!! OMG, they are GORGEOUS!! I am SO excited and immediately wanted to come tell you all!! 😂😂🎉🎉🎉🎉
I can only imagine. How frustrating. Thank you and love the channel. We're in the UK so it's a fabulous way of keeping in touch with all things Disney. ❤
Make sure people know they DON'T need and SHOULD NOT make Park Pass reservations for a trip if using the date-based tickets. If you make a park reservation and you have not only date-based but "open" tickets (Annual and Florida resident tickets, special group tickets, and never used older "No Expiration" tickets), the technology will assume you are making a reservation and planning to use the open date tickets - we almost lost our old "No Expiration" tickets that way!
One of my absolute fave times to go!! My family decided to trade Christmas presents in exchange for a trip to WDW. Best decision ever. Nothing beats all of the decor. I have the best memories going during this month! 🥰- DFB Cassie
Disney should look at the model Universal has for their Express Pass. It's so much more awesome than ANY variations of the Fastpass/Genie Pass that Disney has ever come up with. It's so smooth! You pay a lot for that Express Pass but you get to use it at your convenience not the parks convenience. The only reason I buy the Express Pass is because I get to mostly take back control of my day at the park rather than spending all my day in lines or spending hours on end with my face in my phone trying to schedule a ride. I want to just enjoy my day at the park. I don't want to spend my day with my face in my phone and running back and forth from one end to the other of the parks to my next reservation window.
I had a miserable experience with Universal’s Express Pass. The “express” lines were super long. Waited 60 minutes for Velocicoaster when the standby line said 90 minutes! Waited longer at Hyppogriff than the standby line…and other such instances. In both cases, there were no ride disruptions. The idea is better, but the execution was awful. I felt like such a sucker for paying so much for that. They should have wait times for the express lines…otherwise, you just assume it will be and actual line skipping experience…not just a little bit shorter line.
@@stooch66 I suppose anything is possible. I haven’t experienced that. I have bought the Express Pass at least 10 times over many years at Universal Hollywood, Orlando and recently Singapore. On every occasion the Express Pass line have been less than 15 minutes, often closer to 5 minutes and many occasions it has been a walk on. I usually go during low peek weeks which helps make that Express Pass even faster while Disney’s system just sucks all around. You can only reserve one at a time, if it’s available at all, you have to wait a certain amount of time to make another reservation, the line might not be all that short, you have to pay even more for certain individual rides on top of paying for both the park admission and the Genie+. You can’t enjoy your day with your face in your phone all day trying to book your next ride. It’s just a miserable system, I don’t have another way of stating it bluntly and clearly. Using Genie+ on a low crowd week doesn’t make it more efficient either as it works the same with high or low crowds. You don’t get what you paid for the Genie+, you just pay more and then you pay even more for the Lightning lane if it’s even available and your time slot may be many hours away. You have to go stand in some other long line to try and get on that attraction while you wait for your reservation time slot.
@@jean-claudelol563 I am not arguing for Genie+. I hate it. I miss the old paper fast pass system. I had mastered it and put a lot of effort into it. But, my experience was awful and we were there in a very non-peak week. But, I let them know and they have made a great offer to get us to return. I think my point is that I do prefer the system, but the people working the rides have to make sure that those express lines are cleared or it really feels like a scam…which is how it felt to me.
So you want to pay 250 per person per day for peak days for the Express Pass? I was going right around Christmas and wanted the Express Pass and it was VERY pricey. Express Pass starts at 89.99 per person per day and goes up during peak times.
This summer I am coming to Disney so I don’t really know yet, but I am going to Magic kingdom and I will try the Tiana bayou adventure to see if it was worth replacing splash Mountain
Aww, Dinosaur! will be leaving us? It makes sense, sadly. Glad I’ll be able to ride it a few times later this month, at least! I’ll make sure to savor it lol
I had a friend who got the pickle dog in Downtown Disney. She LOVED it. She tried to convince us all to go get one. I don't like pickles or hotdogs so I passed, but if that's your thing I'd try the pickle dog.
Are we saying that every single food booth from around the World showcase will now fit inside Communicore Hall? I cannot fathom all the people fitting in there! I would think they will either have to scale down the amount of food booths offered, or we will just be in endlessly long lines. I haven't seen the inside layout of the building, but I just can't picture how that is going to work at all...
We’ve been a Disney family for 40 years; we’re going to Universal for the first time in a few weeks. I’m really hoping we fall in love with it, I’m nervous that the nostalgia just won’t be there. But Disney is on hold for a while, too expensive, too much nonsense on the app all day, they need to fix a lot before we will think about returning.
if you like thrill rides you’ll like it! i love both for different reasons. it’s just a lot of screen based simulators but hopefully with epic universe that’ll change!
I was hoping they would change the system for Genie + so we could have bought some of the LL ahead of our trip. Back to our phones I guess, but I think they will be surprised at how many people will be happier if they can land some of these LL ahead of time. I know we are dying for that and a more relaxing trip with out strategizing the whole day.
Thank you so much! We have a free Disney World planning guide that can help you get started! Google 'DisneyFoodBlog planning guide' and it'll pop up to download!
We just got back from staying at POFQ. They had a shuttle running to get you to the pool at PORS. Not sure if it is faster than the walk or not, but it may be a better option for some.
WOOHOO, SUMMER TRIP! 🙌 Summer House cookie bar is definitely a good backup, though we LOVE Gideon's. The Krispy Chocolate Chip Cookie and Blondie cookies were our faves!
Universal is owned by Comcast. They have basically endless money. Disney is Disney. They have to spread the money around. So when movies fail and Disney plus fails the parks take the hit. The parks are their only consistently profitable division. The parks pay for everything.
I really hope they don't put in a virtual queue for Tiana. It's such a headache to try to get VQs for Tron and Guardians. Makes trips less fun when you don't get one. Plus, Tiana already has the lines from Splash, why change it.
we stayed at Wyndham Garden our first night. Be aware Good Neighbor hotels tack on "resort" fees - and charge for parking. Factor this when comparing to Disney, especially if you can get a discount.
Hiya! I’ve found some pretty affordable rooms at the Holiday Inn Orlando near Disney Springs, but we mention a few other good choices over on our Best Hotels In Disney World 2024 video, too! My key is to always search for the Good Neighbors that still have the Early Theme Park Entry perk! 🤩
As someone who was there when Epcot opened in 1982, the Disney updates have taken away from the experience versus adding to it. I went every year from 2010 to 2017. Haven’t been back since. The only 3 things I’d care to see is Tron, Guardians and ROTR and those queues suck and so does Genie Plus. Just give me Express Pass at Universal.
Oh brother shut your trap 🪤 you old wind 💨 bag. I’ve been there 5 times since 2020 and have enjoyed my experience each time. There’s so many changes i actually like including the ditching of that dumpy Dino park
How are people okay with this? Wake up at the crack of dawn and fight with thousands of people for the chance to pay extra to ride a ride when you've already spent thousands on hotel and park tickets? It's just disgusting
I just did all that you said, last week with my family only for them to tell me they liked Universal better. I don’t see another trip to Disney in our future at all.
@IAmAlwaysgigi ah I'm so sorry to hear. We're doing Universal next month, Disney has totally lost us. Just not worth the unbelievable price tag and effort levels now unfortunately! Such a shame. Xx
What's the alternative? Stand in line for 4 hours? A lot of complaining here but basically no solutions. Demand is outstripping supply and no internet comments have good answers to how to fix it.
@@Bloopblopblooppossum i agree. people say this about disney but literally ignore that universals fast pass system is like the cost of an entire theme park ticket like huuuh??
The reason Disney is only opening one water park at a time is because Disney has been inflating the amount of people visiting their parks. Rides that have more than 2 tracks or rooms, they are closing 1. Thats why the lines seem so long and crowds seem so large. Just look at the parking lots...no where near what they used to be, we've been going to Disney once or twice a year since 1985 and we have noticed this also. This has been documented on many Disney youtube channels that take pics of parking lots, I'm assuming using google earth, around 1:00 PM, comparing them to years before 2020. They aren't anywhere near as full. Only during weekends and holidays are the parking lots really filling up. There is no way Disney wouldn't have both water parks open, making $$$, if there were the customers willing to fill those parks. Look at the hotel lots, once again no where near as full and that was during spring break weeks. Disney is pulling a fast one, upping their Genie+ prices, while showing inflated numbers of visitors. This brings in revenue and cuts down on cast members needed to run the park.
2000’s Disney experience is unbeatable they need to go back to that construct. I hate the way Disney has moved towards maximizing its dollar and trying to trick us consumers.
I may be alone in my opinion, but we were disappointed with Disney water parks and we'll probably never go to one again. It didn't seem very "Disney" to me. Almost like an after thought. And sand everywhere... just not fans of the water parks at all
I been watching all your videos and shorts for the last 2 weeks preparing for our trip in may. Really appreciate it
Thanks for being here! 🥰
YAY, thank you!! I'm so glad to hear that!! I hope they help your trip!
I am preparing to go in May as well. My 6th trip since 2017 and doing a solo trip this time.
Me and my family are going in May as well!

You are the BEST AJ , I am having Disney World withdrawls and your vlogs are so well done they help take the edge off ❤ Thank you!!!😊

1) Tiana’s Bayou Adventure will open with a Virtual Queue & Individual Lightning Lane.
2) TRON will transition to a Standby Queue & Individual Lightning Lane.
3) Seven Dwarfs Mine Train will transition to a Standby Queue & Genie+ Lightning Lane.
Makes sense. I'm honestly crossing my fingers that Tiana's doesn't get a virtual queue OR get added to genie+ just to level the playing field...
We will check back in a few months to confirm if your prophecy is correct 🔮
Wait what it now Tiana Bayou Adventure
I have had those same thoughts about the rides.
Shout this guy out if he's right 😉
So excited about the conference centers that they are building in Epcot that will make future world into a nice new addition to the giant Bar that the park is becoming.
Thank you for all your videos. I have watched them to ge ready for my trip next week. The videos helped me so much to prepare
Wouldn't attempt a trip to Walt Disney World without first viewing your info videos!! Thanks for the great content.
Universal can put up a whole rollercoaster in the time it takes Disney to put up food stand…
They also can put in an entirely new theme park in the time it took Disney to put in one rollercoaster
You ain’t lying 😂😂😂

Why do they require my fingerprints? I couldn't get a straight answer from them.
It’s to ensure that only one person is using a given ticket. You can opt out and provide photo identification instead at Guest Services
They're probably taking into account all the feedback they've received lately...

They aren't anywhere near as full. Only during weekends and holidays are the parking lots really filling up. There is no way Disney wouldn't have both water parks open, making $$$, if there were the customers willing to fill those parks. Look at the hotel lots, once again no where near as full and that was during spring break weeks. Disney is pulling a fast one, upping their Genie+ prices, while showing inflated numbers of visitors. This brings in revenue and cuts down on cast members needed to run the park.
2000’s Disney experience is unbeatable they need to go back to that construct. I hate the way Disney has moved towards maximizing its dollar and trying to trick us consumers.
Nowadays uber is more common and more people fly in from out of state.
Sorry. Those are not cabins. Those are "tiny houses". Try again, Disney.
Even tiny houses have washer/dryers! These are not even that :-O Just a semi-fancy looking, yet I am sure is not at all functional, crate.

I may be alone in my opinion, but we were disappointed with Disney water parks and we'll probably never go to one again. It didn't seem very "Disney" to me. Almost like an after thought. And sand everywhere... just not fans of the water parks at all
I'm surprised it takes Disney 5 months to refurbish a pool....
I will be the next Walt Disney
