Around the 55 mark. I bagged a load of brilliant restaurants and experiences last week: Space 220, Be Our Guest, Ohana, Sci-Fi Diner, Oga’s, Steakhouse 71, Rainforest Cafe & Droid Depot and Savi’s Workshop!!! I’d already booked us Cowfish (partly based on your recommendation s as well as The Pugh Two) and Toothsome at Universal. I’d like to have breakfast at Sleepy Hollow and Leaky Cauldron and either Mythos, Antojitos or Mama Dellas/Bice? We have HHN tickets too! (Not sure about MNSS). Soooooooooooo excited!!
So excited you guys are going back! Me and my boyfriend’s first ever trip is in 30 days and was 100% inspired by your last vlog series with Benji 🥰 so excited to finally experience it as I’ve done both California and Paris but never Orlando, which seems to be in a league of its own! Hope you enjoy the build up to it and looking forward to the vlogs already ☺️ xx
I’ve come here after watching a few of your Christmas vlogs at Disney. Now that you’ve been and now home, I would love to see your real spreadsheet on your trip. I’m a total planning freak so absolutely appreciate your planning skills.
Love a good Disney planning! Top things I recommend for your upcoming trip (or anyone really!) : - Holiday cookie stroll at EPCOT during the Festival of the Holidays. Cookies are pretty cheap and you get a completer cookie at the end! Most of them were DELICIOUS! - Spend an evening at the Poly! We put our name on the list for Trader Sam's, then we grabbed dinner at their quick service (Captain Cooks, so yummy), ate on the beach and watched the fireworks from there (they pump out the music on the beach). We were called back to Trader Sam's just as the fireworks finished and had such a good time at that bar! - Dinner at Sebastian's Bistro a Caribbean Beach is delicious and an easy Skyliner ride from Pop! I know you won't be sharing your actual spreadsheet before your trip for safety reasons (totally understandable), but maybe you could do a video AFTER your trip where you share the spreadsheet and tell us what you did do and also how your plans changed while you were there ? I love a good trip recap!
I have no intent to ever go to disney but I honestly enjoy watching your planning videos so much! I think I just like that some of these tips could actually apply to all sorts of trips.
I'm an Annual Passholder here in Florida and while this video does not apply to me, I love hearing the excitement and supporting you! Christmas in Disney is so magical! Every park her their own unique twist on it and you and Benji will love it! So excited for you both!!!
Booking my first mother son trip for his 14 birthday and Disney is what I’m eyeing, very happy to have found your channel ❤ hope you enjoy your trip I’ll be following
My birthday is Dec 23 and Christmas is my favorite time of the year. My family surprised me with a Christmas Disney trip for my 60th birthday, even staying at the Grand Floridian! It was one of my most memorable birthdays and trips! You and Benji will love it- from the party to the different resort & park decorations, to themed desserts to SNOW on Main St!! Can’t wait to see your vlogs. ☺️ enjoy 🎄🎅🏼❄️☃️
Sooo excited for you both! We are hopefully booking to go back next year after we had to cancel our trip due to covid that was booked for 2019. I haven't been since 2012 and it'll be my husbands first time and we will be taking our son who will be a year old. Thank you for the tips! 😀
SO glad you will be enjoying the magic this year!!! i will be starting my disney college program in september and hope to see you around!! you are such a comfort youtuber for me
Disney planning is the best! My next trip is in October, but I love Disney at Christmastime! Don’t miss the tree trail at Disney Springs, the gingerbread house at the Grand Floridian and other resort decorations! I love resort hopping to see all of them decorated (especially the Wilderness Lodge). Another tip if you want to eat at restaurants but don’t want to make reservations or stick to a strict schedule, you can get the full menu at most lounges and it’s more casual and maybe less stressful! Have a great trip!!
So glad you've finally booked to go back to WDW in December! You know you'll have a fab time - forget the cost - it's only Christmas once a year! Just see it as your Christmas presents to yourselves. I saw Cirque 'Drawn to Life' and it's an amazing show - you'll love it! Can't wait to watch the blogs when they eventually come out! xx
Such an incredibly helpful video! Our countdown is 12 days and I give you full credit for my spreadsheet! Thanks to all your videos, I'm feeling super confident and ready for my first ever trip ❤️
I'm visiting Orlando in November to get married and we're going to MVMCP for the first time on night of our wedding!! So excited!! We're also trying out the sunshine flyer following Disney in Detail's great review. So many vlogs on Mears so its good to see another option being explored so others have more choices 😊
I loved that. Christmas will be extra magical. We did Pop in April. It is so good for the Skyliner. We found that getting the dining we wanted was the thing to book first and then to book your park reservations.
Yay!!! I’m so excited for your Very Merry Disney trip! I’m taking my girls back in October and I’m super excited for it! Can’t wait for your Vlogs. Your videos, no matter the content, are always a comfort for me ❤️💚
I do a spreadsheet too. I’d defo reign in the shopping and eat more quick serve meals to have more time at universal (if it’s money and do 14 days) that will be a long tiring day just doing one day! Excited for the vlogs, Christmas at Disney looks stunning!
Going at Christmas is super magical. I loved it more than anything else I have ever done. We are DVC owners now. My main advice for Christmas is visiting the resorts that go all out for Christmas. Grand Floridian, Wilderness Lodge and Beach Club are an absolute must!!!
It is shocking to me how much cheaper it is for UK guests to book at Disney than for US guests. You got 12 nights cheaper than we get 7! I'm a bit jealous 😀 Enjoy your trip!
Love Disney planning, it’s such a big part of the fun! 🤩 Christmas is such a gorgeous time in the parks. The decorations are stunning. Plan to spend loads of time in Epcot at holidays around the world as the little shows are great in the countries. As are the festive food booths. Oh and candlelight processional - if it’s back on, is absolutely stunning. It gets really busy so plan to get there early for that in the evenings. MVMCP is super cute, the character costumes and the parade are the best! Have a fab time!
Love your spreadsheet and have an amazing time at Christmas! We went in may/June during flower and garden this year and agree about the weather. We wanna do like a jan/Feb chilled trip next time haha. When it comes to dining. I created a seperate spreadsheet just for that (and it was still pretty stressful on the day of booking 🙈) But I basically did about 4x different timings and dates per restaurants based on our park passes and ensuring no crossovers with a character breakfast and an evening meal. Trying to stick to no more than 1 reservation per day. But yeah i really pre planned that out way in advance so I was ready. I also did a mock run using MDE on desktop to get used to it. I also opened each restaurant in a new tab, and even though I added my credit cards disney somehow hadn't saved them so I had my card ready and still managed a cinderella breakfast - I still think it's worth the breakfast to eat in Castle but one and done experience. But also don't be afraid to book 2 in 1 day if that's all they offer as I managed to change a few around like Sanaa at AK Lodge I could amend. I 1000% recommend steakhouse 71 at the contemporary - was our best meal on property. We also had a fab time at Teppan edo (if benji never been he could try the beer flight if he feels up to drinking then, its good) also ale and compass at yacht club was lovely (felt quite English homely haha and chilled - we managed a reservation night before) Also loved character breakfast at Toppolino terrace! We got genie+ everyday when we still had uk deal. I don't think I'd pay €15 each day for it. But definitely great in MK and probably HS especially if you like the big rollercoasters. But wouldn't need it everyday but if you have the budget it does make your day less stressful and so much less queuing. We LL for rise, and mine train. I think that's worth it at least once! So jealous you are seeing cirque de soleil. It'll be incredible. We probably should have just done it but so many costs to consider and a reason for us to go back one day! Haha.
Oh I am so excited for your trip! I can’t wait to hear - and watch all about it! We are staying at Pop next year, so can’t wait to see it in your vlogs
We came back from Disney almost a month ago and we did the Boma restaurant at Animal Kingdom Lodge and we absolutely loved it. The setting is beautiful and the food is amazing! We also went to Ohana for dinner and it’s good, definitely book a time when the magic kingdom fireworks are on! So excited for your Disney videos! 💫🏰
I am here for all the tips, tricks, everything :D. I'm planning a new Disney World Trip for 2023 and things have changed so much since my last trip :o. Hope Benji and you have a wonderful magical trip :)
My partner and I are going next Saturday for the first time! Had this booked since 2020 so we are well and truly ready and excited! These videos are so useful! How exciting for you and Benji! 🥰
Excited for you! I love love love your vlogs like this it makes it so real. Plz plz plz do more of these as not many people do. They are so imformative and help loads. When booking places to eat do you have to put a deposit dwn now? Confused as people have always used the dining plan. Also please could you do a vlog on air miles where u can gain them from and use ect. Cant wait for the vlogs 😍😍😍 xx
Oh delighted your getting to go. It’s a magical time. Although the crowds make it harder I would focus on restaurants, different firework locations etc like the poly beach!! I met Santa in CBR Christmas Eve.. I just loved it although many years ago. We booked a character brekkie for Christmas Day it was a lovely way to start the day. I’m going in Feb to the Cornado Springs so dying to follow your build up
Only got 3 weeks to go on Thursday and your spreadsheet is just dreamy 😍 I’ve made one just slightly different (I did AM, PM and Evening) and yours looks so useful! Thank you for sharing this!! I’ve never stayed on property until this upcoming trip and we have so many things on our list! Also first time going for Halloween and food and wine! Xx
Fab video, we’ve been several times to WDW and it really is a trip where you need to plan and juggle a lot of moving parts! Looking forward to your vlogs ❤️
This has made me SO excited. We were last there for our honeymoon in September 2017. We are going back January 2023 with our 3 babies!! 4, 2 and 8 months ❤️ we are staying at POP!
So excited for you. No wdw trips planned at all for us until our little boy is alot older, so living through vlogs 😃 my tip for when we went at Christmas is that it is still warm in the daytime, but it definitely cools off on an evening so I always packed a pair of natural tights in my bag that I could pop on to keep my legs warm without a full outfit change! X
Hi Brogan! Thanks for another great video. My husband and I are heading back to Disney in March of 2023, staying at The Boardwalk. Mainly for the great location since we stayed at the Beach Club and loved walking to EPCOT and HS. We rented DVC points at both these hotels. Did you ever look into that option? Tip for your planning spreadsheet: visit MK on party nights (if you don't care about fireworks). It will be less busy during the day and wait times will be lower. We always create a Google spreadsheet too! Can't wait for more of your Disney content!
If you are in MK Dec 4 you can see a very special parade…Dance the Magic. Dancers from all over learn a parade routine and perform it down Main Street. Topolino’s is a must try…dinner is awesome and great views.
Omg so excited for you both!! I’ve got 110 days till I’m back in the magic & my first time seeing it at Christmas too 🎄 maybe see you out there 😆 your spreadsheet made my planning heart happy & it was so interesting to see how someone else plans so thank you ! Can’t wait for the vlogs to come! 🫶🏻
Thank you!! I couldn't figure out how best to do the spreadsheet, but this has helped so much! Can't wait for all the Disney content coming up. So excited for you both 💕
So excited for you and Benji, and of course for Christmas vlogs! My countdown is 14 days eeeek, I can’t wait and will definitely be reminiscing watching your vlogs in December. ☺️
Can’t wait for the vlogs :) We are going to DLP beginning of September, not the same I know but still it is also going to be in the Christmas Spirit which I also never experienced before :)
Oh I love a spreadsheet. We usually go to WDW end of October / start of November to get both Halloween and Christmas. Love the gingerbread house at Grand Floridian and the gingerbread carousel at the Beach Club, plus the Christmas projections on Tower of Terror are cool to watch. Oh and getting pictures in front of the trees at each park is a right of passage as well as in front of the castle with the dream lights (but don't think they're having those while the castle is decorated for the 50th). Hope you guys have a fabulous time - only 3 days for us till we go back ☺️
Super exciting video - hope you both have a great time. We had priced for 2023 but it’s just so expensive now! Really miss the old dining plan - it was great value pre-covid.
Thank you so much for this Brogan! Currently planning our first trip to Disney World for next year and this has been so helpful! Seemed so overwhelming before 😂
Thanks for the vlog. I’ve been to WDW loads but this is the first time since Covid and am quite stressed since all the changes. I’ve never had to schedule but will be doing one this time round. Very keen to hear more on Genie + and LL and your experience when booking restaurants.
So exciting!! You’re both going to LOVE Pop! I’ve stayed at Port Orleans French Quarter, Caribbean beach, Coronado springs and now pop and I think I’d struggle to justify any other hotel now. Absolutely fell in love with Pop century 🥹❤️ Ohana dinner is a must - time it for about an hour before the fireworks and when you’re there request a magic kingdom view table! And Homecomin’ is amazing - could be a good rest day lunch/dinner in Disney Springs x
Wow, that's such a high compliment for a value. I've done Boardwalk and Caribbean Beach, and prefered All Star Sports over both! So I know I'm going to LOVE Pop Century. This is such a good idea, thank you so much! Noted on both restaurants! xx
I loooove this 🙌🏼 I’m in the same boat as you, planning a wedding and a WDW trip. We’re having a Christmas themed wedding December 2023, then our first WDW trip October 2024. We’ve done Disneyland California before but haven’t been able to attempt Florida yet, just ordered Adam Hattan’s books but love your breakdown too! We’re from Australia rather than the UK and I know a lot of Australians use Attraction Tickets Direct but trying to figure it out 😬 keep these coming they’re great !
My favorite vlogger, my favorite time of year and the happiest place on earth!? I am counting down the days with Brogan now lol. Sounds like an amazing time!
I went at the end of august in 2022 and it was quieter then I was expecting apart from the last weekend which was a bank holiday, that’s when the wait times grew a lot longer. But before that the highest wait time was like 80 mins for ROTR but we actually only waited like 25 minutes it was great. There was also 0 ques in the airports so my family was very happy
WOW!!! Disney at Christmastime!!! 🎄🎄🎄 How AMAZING!!! 😍😍😍 I'm so happy for the two of you!!! I LOVE how organized you are!!! I'm a bit of an organiser as well (while leaving room for spontaneity! 😁😁😁), so I love all the detail!!! I'm REALLY wanting to go to Disney, so I'll have to look into doing that soon!!! Thanks for sharing and continued love and health from across the pond!!! 💜💜💜
We go in November (75 days) and can’t explain how excited we are… we have booked mvmcp too! Your spreadsheet looks so good that I’ve actually just started one now 🙈 as I keep forgetting what days I’ve reserved parks, when we’ve booked discovery and so on … x
I’m so excited for you both to head back to the magic together!! I’ve just booked my first trip to WDW next year for my 25th birthday, I’m going solo but I can’t wait
Heyyyy I love watching your vlogs and. The Disney’s ones to I’m going in April and I’m so excited. After 3 long years because. Of COVID !!! But I can’t wait I’m so happy 😁
I can highly recommend Fly Mickey Travel too. Some great deals on tickets (both DLP, WDW and DLR) and flexibility in packages that you sometimes don’t get through Disney. I’ve just had a really good experience with them and we’re heading to WDW next week :)
I've always wanted to go to Disney but never had the opportunity. Definitely would love to go in the near future and will refer back to this video. Emma xx
97 days until my birthday trip!!! Not sure if this has been mentioned, but you don’t need a park reservation to MK on the day of the Christmas party if you’re going, and you can get in starting at 4pm. Touring plans has a great crowd tracker that suggests going to MK on a party day for less crowds, but you don’t get fireworks and have to leave at 6pm.
So excited for you both ❤️❤️ this feels like a long time coming, so looking forward to the content. Your last vlogs inspired me and my partner to book our trip, which is now 2 weeks away (eeeek), also our first ever visit. Thank you for all of your advice and tips! Love ya ❤️
Hi Brogan thank you for for your videos there so help full. I have been to Disney and few time but finding this trip harder to plan because of all the changes. If u could do a video on the my Disney Experience Mobile app. Would find that really interesting. Thank you again just watched all you Christmas blogs amazing. X x
Eeeekk, we are heading back to Walt Disney World in December and we’re both SO excited. Let us know your countdown and any tips for others! 😀👇
66 days for us and staying at POP!
19days!!
9 days!! So excited- my first trip
75 days for us
Around the 55 mark.
I bagged a load of brilliant restaurants and experiences last week: Space 220, Be Our Guest, Ohana, Sci-Fi Diner, Oga’s, Steakhouse 71, Rainforest Cafe & Droid Depot and Savi’s Workshop!!! I’d already booked us Cowfish (partly based on your recommendation s as well as The Pugh Two) and Toothsome at Universal. I’d like to have breakfast at Sleepy Hollow and Leaky Cauldron and either Mythos, Antojitos or Mama Dellas/Bice? We have HHN tickets too! (Not sure about MNSS). Soooooooooooo excited!!
So excited you guys are going back! Me and my boyfriend’s first ever trip is in 30 days and was 100% inspired by your last vlog series with Benji 🥰 so excited to finally experience it as I’ve done both California and Paris but never Orlando, which seems to be in a league of its own!

SO glad you will be enjoying the magic this year!!! i will be starting my disney college program in september and hope to see you around!! you are such a comfort youtuber for me
This was such a good one B, I’ve never been to Florida and have no plans to just yet but this is very helpful! Go girl 👏🏽
Disney planning is the best! My next trip is in October, but I love Disney at Christmastime! Don’t miss the tree trail at Disney Springs, the gingerbread house at the Grand Floridian and other resort decorations!

YAY! have the best time Molly! xx
I'm visiting Orlando in November to get married and we're going to MVMCP for the first time on night of our wedding!! So excited!! We're also trying out the sunshine flyer following Disney in Detail's great review. So many vlogs on Mears so its good to see another option being explored so others have more choices 😊

Christmastime is a great time to go. It’s my favourite! x
I am beyond excited 🥹
So excited that you’re staying at pop century! I went on my first Walt Disney holiday in august and stayed at pop century and absolutely loved it!
I do a spreadsheet too. I’d defo reign in the shopping and eat more quick serve meals to have more time at universal (if it’s money and do 14 days) that will be a long tiring day just doing one day! Excited for the vlogs, Christmas at Disney looks stunning!
Going at Christmas is super magical. I loved it more than anything else I have ever done. We are DVC owners now. My main advice for Christmas is visiting the resorts that go all out for Christmas. Grand Floridian, Wilderness Lodge and Beach Club are an absolute must!!!
This has really help me I'm going to disney in July 2023 doing my 1st solo trip so looking at all the planning side of the holiday
It is shocking to me how much cheaper it is for UK guests to book at Disney than for US guests. You got 12 nights cheaper than we get 7! I'm a bit jealous 😀 Enjoy your trip!
We’re going the end of November into December so would love to see you there. Hope you have a great time. I’m so excited
Love Disney planning, it’s such a big part of the fun! 🤩
Christmas is such a gorgeous time in the parks. The decorations are stunning. Plan to spend loads of time in Epcot at holidays around the world as the little shows are great in the countries. As are the festive food booths. Oh and candlelight processional - if it’s back on, is absolutely stunning. It gets really busy so plan to get there early for that in the evenings.
MVMCP is super cute, the character costumes and the parade are the best!
Have a fab time!
I am so happy and excited for you both! Christmas time at WDW is absolutely wonderful and magical!🎄 Much love from Florida 💖
I’ve just rebooked mine for October 2024 for my 25th 🥹 3rd times the charm 🤞🏻
Love your spreadsheet and have an amazing time at Christmas!
We went in may/June during flower and garden this year and agree about the weather. We wanna do like a jan/Feb chilled trip next time haha.
When it comes to dining. I created a seperate spreadsheet just for that (and it was still pretty stressful on the day of booking 🙈)
But I basically did about 4x different timings and dates per restaurants based on our park passes and ensuring no crossovers with a character breakfast and an evening meal. Trying to stick to no more than 1 reservation per day. But yeah i really pre planned that out way in advance so I was ready. I also did a mock run using MDE on desktop to get used to it. I also opened each restaurant in a new tab, and even though I added my credit cards disney somehow hadn't saved them so I had my card ready and still managed a cinderella breakfast - I still think it's worth the breakfast to eat in Castle but one and done experience.
But also don't be afraid to book 2 in 1 day if that's all they offer as I managed to change a few around like Sanaa at AK Lodge I could amend.
I 1000% recommend steakhouse 71 at the contemporary - was our best meal on property. We also had a fab time at Teppan edo (if benji never been he could try the beer flight if he feels up to drinking then, its good) also ale and compass at yacht club was lovely (felt quite English homely haha and chilled - we managed a reservation night before)
Also loved character breakfast at Toppolino terrace!
We got genie+ everyday when we still had uk deal. I don't think I'd pay €15 each day for it. But definitely great in MK and probably HS especially if you like the big rollercoasters. But wouldn't need it everyday but if you have the budget it does make your day less stressful and so much less queuing.
We LL for rise, and mine train. I think that's worth it at least once!
So jealous you are seeing cirque de soleil. It'll be incredible. We probably should have just done it but so many costs to consider and a reason for us to go back one day! Haha.
Woooo how exciting! Can’t wait for the vlogs! Went last Christmas and definitely recommend the Cookie stroll in Epcot 🍪
I can’t wait to see the vlogs!! Also, so happy that you and Benji are FINALLY getting to go on this (long-awaited) Disney trip!
I’m off to Disneyland Paris for my honeymoon in November! So excited! Your Disneyland Paris vlogs were so good and helpful!!
Oh I am so excited for your trip! I can’t wait to hear - and watch all about it! We are staying at Pop next year, so can’t wait to see it in your vlogs
We came back from Disney almost a month ago and we did the Boma restaurant at Animal Kingdom Lodge and we absolutely loved it. The setting is beautiful and the food is amazing!

Oh now this kind of planning makes me so happy 🤣😍
Excited for you! I love love love your vlogs like this it makes it so real. Plz plz plz do more of these as not many people do. They are so imformative and help loads.

Aww, I love that. Thanks Kathy! xx
If you are in MK Dec 4 you can see a very special parade…Dance the Magic. Dancers from all over learn a parade routine and perform it down Main Street. Topolino’s is a must try…dinner is awesome and great views.
Omg so excited for you both!! I’ve got 110 days till I’m back in the magic & my first time seeing it at Christmas too 🎄 maybe see you out there 😆 your spreadsheet made my planning heart happy & it was so interesting to see how someone else plans so thank you ! Can’t wait for the vlogs to come! 🫶🏻
Leaving tomorrow for disney world!!!! This is such perfect timing! Love your disney vlogs!!
Have the best time ever!! xx
Just what I needed!! My countdown is sitting more around 160 days ✈ all the more reason to enjoy! 🤗
Yay! It'll come around SO quickly! Have the best time xx
Thank you!! I couldn't figure out how best to do the spreadsheet, but this has helped so much! Can't wait for all the Disney content coming up. So excited for you both 💕
Yay! So happy to help! Thanks Debbie xx
So excited for you and Benji, and of course for Christmas vlogs! My countdown is 14 days eeeek, I can’t wait and will definitely be reminiscing watching your vlogs in December. ☺️
Can’t wait for the vlogs :)
We are going to DLP beginning of September, not the same I know but still it is also going to be in the Christmas Spirit which I also never experienced before :)
How exciting! I love doing Disney at Christmastime! 13 days for me - it’s a combined WDW and DCL trip.
Well this is just what I needed. I’m still working on the logistics for my trip next year,so yes this has been really helpful ☺️
Sooooo exciting Brogan!! Bring on all the pre trip videos. Take care 🥰✈️💕🌸
Oh I love a spreadsheet. We usually go to WDW end of October / start of November to get both Halloween and Christmas. Love the gingerbread house at Grand Floridian and the gingerbread carousel at the Beach Club, plus the Christmas projections on Tower of Terror are cool to watch. Oh and getting pictures in front of the trees at each park is a right of passage as well as in front of the castle with the dream lights (but don't think they're having those while the castle is decorated for the 50th). Hope you guys have a fabulous time - only 3 days for us till we go back ☺️
Hi, my family and I are going on November 2nd can't wait😊. How is the weather early November?
Really want to get back to Florida next year so this video is perfect!
Super exciting video - hope you both have a great time. We had priced for 2023 but it’s just so expensive now! Really miss the old dining plan - it was great value pre-covid.
This couldn’t of come at a better time.. we go in 8 days! So excited for you both, can’t wait for the vlogs! ❤️
Amazing! Have the best time! 😀
Thankyou so much for this I'm in the middle of planning I'm going in November to POP Century and booked Christmas party as well xx
Ah yay! We’ll be there at the same time :) loving this video so much thank you - beautiful content as always 💗💗
Thank you so much for this Brogan! Currently planning our first trip to Disney World for next year and this has been so helpful! Seemed so overwhelming before 😂
SO excited for these vlogs and so excited for you both. Gonna have to rematch your last Disney trip now lol
Well i never thought I'd be excited to make a spread sheet hahah
Thanks for the vlog. I’ve been to WDW loads but this is the first time since Covid and am quite stressed since all the changes. I’ve never had to schedule but will be doing one this time round. Very keen to hear more on Genie + and LL and your experience when booking restaurants.
So exciting!! You’re both going to LOVE Pop! I’ve stayed at Port Orleans French Quarter, Caribbean beach, Coronado springs and now pop and I think I’d struggle to justify any other hotel now. Absolutely fell in love with Pop century 🥹❤️
Ohana dinner is a must - time it for about an hour before the fireworks and when you’re there request a magic kingdom view table! And Homecomin’ is amazing - could be a good rest day lunch/dinner in Disney Springs x
Wow, that's such a high compliment for a value. I've done Boardwalk and Caribbean Beach, and prefered All Star Sports over both! So I know I'm going to LOVE Pop Century.
This is such a good idea, thank you so much! Noted on both restaurants! xx
I loooove this 🙌🏼 I’m in the same boat as you, planning a wedding and a WDW trip. We’re having a Christmas themed wedding December 2023, then our first WDW trip October 2024. We’ve done Disneyland California before but haven’t been able to attempt Florida yet, just ordered Adam Hattan’s books but love your breakdown too! We’re from Australia rather than the UK and I know a lot of Australians use Attraction Tickets Direct but trying to figure it out 😬 keep these coming they’re great !
My favorite vlogger, my favorite time of year and the happiest place on earth!? I am counting down the days with Brogan now lol. Sounds like an amazing time!
Eeekk, thank you! xx
Oh my goodness we're going the end of September oh I would of loved to see you in the parks shoot! Have an amazing trip!
We love a spreadsheet in this household!
Going in November, can't wait its been 3 years since I was last there!! 🥰
A good tip for the hard to get dining reservations is to use mouse watcher. We managed to nab space,bog and Cinderella RT using it. 👍💰
I went at the end of august in 2022 and it was quieter then I was expecting apart from the last weekend which was a bank holiday, that’s when the wait times grew a lot longer. But before that the highest wait time was like 80 mins for ROTR but we actually only waited like 25 minutes it was great. There was also 0 ques in the airports so my family was very happy
WOW!!! Disney at Christmastime!!! 🎄🎄🎄 How AMAZING!!! 😍😍😍 I'm so happy for the two of you!!! I LOVE how organized you are!!! I'm a bit of an organiser as well (while leaving room for spontaneity! 😁😁😁), so I love all the detail!!! I'm REALLY wanting to go to Disney, so I'll have to look into doing that soon!!! Thanks for sharing and continued love and health from across the pond!!! 💜💜💜
Thanks Julie! Sounds like we plan the same!! xx
Love this! I absolutely love the planning stage
We go in November (75 days) and can’t explain how excited we are… we have booked mvmcp too! Your spreadsheet looks so good that I’ve actually just started one now 🙈 as I keep forgetting what days I’ve reserved parks, when we’ve booked discovery and so on … x
What a dream! Disney at christmas time💖
I’m so excited for you both to head back to the magic together!! I’ve just booked my first trip to WDW next year for my 25th birthday, I’m going solo but I can’t wait
Thank you Kendra! YAY, hope you have the best time! Solo is fun, I've done it a few times and having so much flexibility is nice xx
Really enjoyed the vlog! 🥰 we are going at the end of October to POP too and we have also booked the sunshine flyer!xx
Heyyyy I love watching your vlogs and. The Disney’s ones to I’m going in April and I’m so excited. After 3 long years because. Of COVID !!! But I can’t wait I’m so happy 😁
I can highly recommend Fly Mickey Travel too. Some great deals on tickets (both DLP, WDW and DLR) and flexibility in packages that you sometimes don’t get through Disney.
I’ve just had a really good experience with them and we’re heading to WDW next week :)
You will love Universal during Christmas!! And Velocicoaster is worth the money alone.❤️ Have such a great time!!
We can't WAIT! xx
183 days til my first trip .8 days at all star movie . When your vlogs come online I can start my countdown
I've always wanted to go to Disney but never had the opportunity. Definitely would love to go in the near future and will refer back to this video. Emma xx
Thanks Emma, hope it helps! xx
My top tip is to go to Mk on the morning of a party day and then park hop. We just got back from wdw and Mk is so quiet on the morning of a party
I'll be celebrating my 30th birthday in Disneyland Paris next week!!! I'm so excited 🥰
Happy Birthday for then Ashley! Have a great trip! xx
@@brogantatexo Thank you! Can't wait for the DIsney vlogs you'll be posting 🥰
Dial a flight are amazing too! We’ve used them for 12Years. X
97 days until my birthday trip!!! Not sure if this has been mentioned, but you don’t need a park reservation to MK on the day of the Christmas party if you’re going, and you can get in starting at 4pm. Touring plans has a great crowd tracker that suggests going to MK on a party day for less crowds, but you don’t get fireworks and have to leave at 6pm.
So excited for you both ❤️❤️ this feels like a long time coming, so looking forward to the content. Your last vlogs inspired me and my partner to book our trip, which is now 2 weeks away (eeeek), also our first ever visit. Thank you for all of your advice and tips! Love ya ❤️
Thank you so much!! Yay, have the best time! Big love back xx
We usually go Halloween but are going 7th November this year so xmas stuff be up, I'm so excited 😊
I'm so early and this is the BEST news! I cannot wait for the vlog! xx
Thanks Alex! 😀
I've never been to Disney but I've always wanted to go and this is the most perfect video for when that happens ^_^
Ohana for breakfast was amazing and so was teppon edo. Can’t wait to try space 220
Hi Brogan thank you for for your videos there so help full. I have been to Disney and few time but finding this trip harder to plan because of all the changes. If u could do a video on the my Disney Experience Mobile app. Would find that really interesting. Thank you again just watched all you Christmas blogs amazing. X x
