The DFB Team and I are here to not just guide you through the Magic Kingdom in 2023, but to also make your trip AWESOME.

    I watched this video and all the other park guides and it helped me on my trip so much. We never needed a map or anything because I knew it all. Magic kingdom is truly the happiest place on earth

    My wife and I went to Disney after we got married and wore celebration buttons. We got a ton of well wishes and several extra treats but the best thing was a parody of “Bella Notte” that our cast member at garden grille sang to us. I didn’t think to record it but it was amazing, it was a full verse and a chorus but all I remember is “this is the night, the beautiful night, and they call it your aaaaaaanivers’ry……” i guess you kinda had to be there, but I cannot convey in words how great it was. Definitely one of my top five Disney memories

    Rope dropping Seven Dwarfs is a no brainer. Only waited 5 minutes for it at rope drop and got right in. We were able to go to big thunder right after and got on that with only a 10 minute wait.

    I think the virtual queue thing is terrible. If you really want to ride something, you should be allowed to do so, even if you choose to wait 6 hours in line. If you pay to get in the park, all rides should be available to you.

      It can be bad. We had virtual queue for Rise of the Resistance it broke down we had to come back later very long line. They messed up and only gave us one return time for one person instead of two a huge mess to straighten out so stressful that it ruined that ride for us and we won’t do it again.

    Tip if you rope drop magic kingdom and go right to the more we call popular rides 😅 you do those first then when you feel like your done with the more popular rides go to the less popular rides like the more kid rides because kids would be begging their parents to go on the kid rides right in the morning so the lines wouldn’t be that long if you rope drop and go straight to popular rides then later go to the more calm rides

    If you DO get a fireworks view table at O'hana, it is likely rude people who aren't even dining there will walk in and block your view. At least that's what happened to us many years ago. I would like to think they don't permit that anymore.

      It actually baffles me how little common sense some tourists have, I hate to say it as a tourist myself but it seems like some people enter Disney and suddenly their respect and self awareness just leaves their minds. “Oh people sitting, hm yes good place to stand right in front”. Hopefully after Covid this is more closely monitored

    Another tip for those who have seen the firework shows more times than they can count and are ok to miss it: Do some pin trading! Right when the crowd starts moving towards the castle before the show starts most stores will still be open and EMPTY. It's a good time to pop into the pin trading locations because then you'll get to see how the pin boards change up with all the trading that's been happening throughout the day (this only works for the boards that show the pins, not the mystery drawers). After that, then you can hop on a ride like Thunder Mountain (maybe even still see some of the fireworks from there), and then do a slow walk back to Main Street while taking pictures in an empty fantasy land. By the time you get to Main Street, it'll probably be more manageable and you can still have time to duck into the stores/do mobile orders like how it's mentioned in the video.

We had a great time. I think the only thing that disappointed me was a surprisingly lot of the cast members just didn’t seem to be into it at all. I’m not saying all of them. And I realize it’s a job and they’re young people and that’s how everyone is nowadays but come on perk up a little. I don’t know. That part was just a little disappointing. And not all we’re like that. Some cast members were absolutely amazing. We had a great time and can’t wait to go back

If your resort bus drops you off at the gates, let’s say at 0815etc. are there going to be non-resort guest waiting in line to scan their park ticket? How does the workers know who is staying at a resort or not? Or is there a separate line for Resort guests in the morning?

    Sorry to those HEA fans (heading for its 3rd run) and for long cons, but HEA is out for me for reasons: Not interested and emotionless (unless you're mourning the sows you missed even when not getting a chance to see them. Similar to a current Xmas fireworks, no shoutout at the very end like Wishes, Enchantment, EPCOT Forever, to name a few. May be chickened out but music issues in parts. Makes me of becoming nightmares like "till death do us part" but still like Haunted Mansion, and the Disney Chinatown Fireworks and I'd call it as pronounced: "Heavy-ly Ever After" due to packed crowds you can' t move an inch.
    With everything Royal and trying to get more magic, a slogan for WDW would've been "Home of the Royal Magic" which would've been from 2017 to 2021 until the 50th.
