It's not really going to stop people from coming. It's just going to shove them out of those ride ques and fill up what should have been a more empty park.
You can count on it. You think that's a dig but you can have those parks all to yourself for what anyone else cares. Been there, done that, you can have it.
23:03 this channel has seriously helped us find some of our fav food at Disney & avoid generic burgers and nuggets. While I don't agree with all, at least 80% of what DFB suggested that looked interesting to us, has been added to our favs list when we tried it. Obviously taste is subjective, but I agree with a majority & without DFB I don't think we would have even known to look for half of our favs.
I’m hoping my trip in January will be a bit quieter than our trip 3 years ago. Don’t really care about the closures but I’m thrilled I can enjoy the river boat ride once more. Stay away everyone until 2026….. so those of us that do go to Disney in 2025 will have less crowds. 😅
Hello my friend! Thank you so very much for all the, much needed, information. We appreciate that you shared about the "extended hours" with those yummy treats! How sweet of you to provide us with the "QR" code. Thank you! We love to visit Geoffrey's and Starbucks for our morning quick breakfast. We will definitely check out the "dining guides". We also thank you for sharing super information about the premiere pass. There is so much that we learned in this video. We are curious if there will be a Cinderella 75th anniversary celebration? We know that you will be the one to keep us in-the know! Although, we can't visit WDW as this year... you are bringing Disney to us! WE thatnk you VERY much AJ! Have a magicl week!💖💖
I can't believe you actually titled this vid the way you did; WELL DONE. very few reviewers would do that !!!! Then I watched the entire vid (including your friend and husband who paid $17 for two big chicken nuggets), and realized it was not that negative a vid. I am a huge WDW fan and reply on hundreds of vids where others have commented "will never go again"; that's fine; there will be less crowds for those of us who love WDW !!!!!!
There was a maximum of 50 min wait times in all 4 parks last week. We got to ride everything we wanted easily 3 times. Cosmic rewind we only did twice, but it was the best.
@@cupcak3ninja209 I think that since Disney is often a complimentary experience alongside Universal rather than a substitute given their proximity and Universal is a smaller park and can reasonably be done in < 3 days(even with the Epic expansion). I bet you’ll see larger overall crowds for the last half of the year as people try to do both Disney and universal together on their vacations.
@@NolanSchuster4i don’t think you understand what an extra day or two at Universal is going to mean lol. It’s priced better than Disney, hotels are priced better, but it’s adding more days (there’s no way to see EU in one day with the amount of people slated to go) and therefore less money for Disney. It’s definitely going to thin out the crowds. Hence why Disney is rolling out the discounts around the same time as the opening of EU lol. But continue to shill 😂
Disneys incompetence and aggressive micro transactions and taking away all benefits and only cannabilizing beloved attractions has already thinned the crowds with only those who give dw a pass on all their horrible decisions going
Paying Premium prices for mediocre benefits. After doing that at Universal Studios/Islands of Adventure and getting premium benefits, Disney leaves a sour taste. Hour early entry versus half an hour. Skipping the line over and over versus once, and that once is uber expensive.
Universal can't even hold Disney's jock strap. Trash theme park. Just fot back from both (3 days of Universal and 5 in Disney) and i wish i could get a refund from Universal. Its basically Six Flags.
I’m planning on going to Disney World in March. Now I’m only going to 1 park for 1 day only. I’m trying to decide between EPCOT and Hollywood Studios. Does anyone have any suggestions? I really want to go to EPCOT just for Guardians because that’s easily my favorite ride at WDW, but Hollywood Studios has some of my other favorite rides.
@@MyaToki Honestly I would do that, but I’m very tight with money. I’m paying for my flight tickets and park ticket. So I really can only go to 1 park.
Went single many times. Met great pm waiting in line. Really made a difference in trip! Good difference s . Our knowledge of ideas were enhanced by those we were we never were exposed to!
We were at Disney last summer and will be returning this summer. Do you know if we can reuse our same resort mugs for a smaller fee to reactivate instead of buying the same mugs again?
It's not really a Cars Land. They have stated it's not like Radiator Springs. They are adding to Cars themed attractions to Frontierland. Since the rides take place in like the NW. People are very confused and hating on the project for they think Disneyland. Hope you can clarify in future posts.
My best advice, skip Disney in 2025, only go to EPCOT if you like the Flower & Garden Festival or you want to join other Star Wars Fans at May the 4th on Galaxy Edge at Hollywood Studios, otherwise, go to Universal Epic Universe, or to Legoland, the true park with Kids in mind in Florida, 2025 is the year to skipp Disney
Keep an eye out for rides with Single Rider Lines -- right now it's Expedition Everest at Animal Kingdom, Rock N Roller Coater and Rise of the Resistance in Hollywood Studios, and Remy's Ratatouille Adventure in EPCOT
I've got another question. So I'm going to disney with some friends. I'm staying with a friend allowing me to book LL's 7 days in advance. My other friend joining us at disney is not staying in the park. I booked the LL's 7 days in advance for myself and the friend staying at the hotel. My other friend who is joining us can book LL's until 3 days in advance. If I book her LL's 3 days before our park day, can I still connect my 3rd friend joining us in my planning party for LL's in the park since I'm managing all the LL's for the 3 of us on my app?
If all of the LL times that you picked for your first two are still available you'll be able to pick the same times for your 3rd friend, but if they've been booked up you'll need to adjust. You can overlap time windows though (there's even a grace period of about 5 minutes before and 15 minutes after) so you could all ride together
Worth noting, since I never hear anyone specify *which* parks on *which* nights for Deluxe extended evening hours. Spoke to a cast member recently who said it's been "permanently" locked in EPCOT Monday night, and Magic Kingdom Wednesday night, exclusively.
Why to skip Disney in 2025 Big Thunder Mountain Dinosaur and Test Track all closed plus Disney keeps taking away but Universal keeps adding NEW things sorry Disney your the biggest loser of 2025
@@remyd8767 They really don't. I am saying this as a guy who saw both CA and FL parks. Disneyland Park is magnificent but it is only one park. Disney California Adventure is subpar compared to every Florida park.
@@mertcanhacfazloglu4862 that's certainly not true. Disneyland is a better version of magic Kingdom any day of the week. The only thing magic Kingdom does better is the big castle. But Disneyland has the better version of every major ride including Space mountain, Pirates, Jungle Cruise, Small World, ( even Tiana lol). Also between DCA and Disneyland, it has Galaxy edge, Mickey mania, and tower of terror (MCU style). no need to go to a different park for it. Also cars land and radiator springs is probably the 2nd best land Disney has built in the US, second to Pandora.
@@remyd8767 That is certainly wrong. I am not saying Disneyland Park is not better. It is the best Disney park. However it is only one park. DCA is inferior to all Disney World parks. I would rather go to 4 great parks over 1 best and 1 okay park.
While I'm not sure about all of this I do know 100% for sure you'll regret going in the summer. It's virtually unlivable outside now in central Florida in the summer and with cement everywhere, no shade and small children - your vacation will be miserable. Don't do it.
I know i should say this because it's going to upset alot of people but i regret riding Avatar Flight of Passage. Unfortunately i only rode Tricera Tops Spin once. I'm already missing the ride.😢😪💔
This is part of my dilemma. I've got my whole family flying with me from CA to Orlando for a conference in August. Flights are half the battle? So...do I go to WDW, where so much is offline and years away from being great? Or...go back to Universal where they have a new park and Volcano Bay? Which one will be crowded? Which one will give me the best deal? Hard to figure it all out.
Don’t worry this title is so misleading. You’ll have an amazing time regardless of what others think. Disney won’t be that much different in 2025 in comparison to other years
I was supposed to go September 2024 . But due to a bad injury I wasn't allowed to fly. Now I'm so upset about 2025. I don't know if it's worth it anymore
It is always worth it! Things are always changing & you will always find something new/great for you !something great will just come up! Enjoy the surprise you didn’t expect or spent so much time/effort to plan!!!!memories you will never forget!!
At the risk of sounding odd, those tips for parents to avoid the meltdowns can also be applied to Highly Sensitive adults and those with ADHD. Kids aren't the only ones who need extra care from time to time.
Hope Epic is over full great for them but I never like universal rides every ride give me migraines I have 4 times at those parks and I don’t like them at all.
I'd never bring a kid under 10 to the parks. It's not worth the headache. Leave them with the grandparents until they're ready to actually enjoy themselves.
I've hated Disney for years. Every time I've gone it sucked. No perks, The lines are out of control and It's just not fun. I've been going to Universal for years now and have a good time every time.

I have three more 2025 trips booked for RunDisney 😅 but even with closures and construction, Disney is always a good time!
