Your allowed to bring outside food ?

@@Heelturnkayfabe dunno but it would be wortha try. don't let me bring my food, i woon't go

@@wstagner You cannot bring outside food into the park. You can leave it in a cooler in your car and go out to eat it whenever (they even have picnic tables out there), but I was covering what this experience was like for people who might be interested, not trying to present every single option, because there are many things you can do other than this.

@@MisCastMembers yeah, we can't eat AND go on rides anymore so we don't eat anywy.

@nyr36 the waits have been super short this season regardless of whether the park was busy or not. Not that people aren't buying food but it seems to be more efficient than previous years. I didn't wait 10 minutes in a single line

@@Captain_Maple you seem like a real treat. A very weak treat

hmm are you meaning this to be negative or are you trying to be helpful? cause it can be taken either way tbh lol like you saying "at the rate your going" you could be meaning since he goes so often it seems maybe getting a season pass would be a way to save money

@@mooonedropper you seem great

Did you not watch the video? He clearly has a family and they spend time together. I guess your life is shit seeing you're behind a keyboard shitting on people that are showing viewers how to save money.

There are definitely a lot of alternative options out there. I will tell you, I've been there several times already, mostly on weekends and even on a holiday weekend and while the lines for rides have varied from acceptable to bananas, the food lines have been very manageable. Even getting all the meals that I shared with the fam, I spent less time in lines than I ever do when I leave the park.

I think if you want something that isn't just typical park fare, try out lazy bear lodge. Lots of different BBQ options with sides that swap out from time to time (the buns are 50/50 going to be a little stale). Grande World Eatery is another option with some international fare.

@@MisCastMembers you think it’s the best? I always get their chicken or pulled pork and it’s always amazing but just wanted to get someone else’s opinion

@wxnted0 I mean it's perfectly serviceable food. I don't think anything at Wonderland stands out as great. It's not like Disney that has soke pretty high end options.

My take on it is that they are still making a profit and that they'd rather keep people in the parks rather than leaving to eat across the street. The more time we are in the parks, the more likely we are to buy something that isn't part of the dining plan.

So glad you enjoyed it!

Awesome I am glad you are getting the most out of it still after all this time.

You are most welcome! I am so glad you enjoyed it.

I don't believe that's true. You can book as soon as long as you have a park reservation for the one and dated tickets for the other.

@@stephjant6461 yeah sadly I just confirmed this. There is time to make our feelings known about that.

thanks for the kind words! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Sorry that the learning curve has changed again, I totally get it.

What is it that you don't like about the change compared to what is currently on offer? Not being argumentative, just curious about people's perspective on this.

@@MisCastMembers wish they just brought back fastpass paying for something we had for free sucks

@@HTCTF101so then you mean to say the 2020 fast pass change is ass… This system seems better than the Genie Plus system

@@HTCTF101 It's a fair point but it was inevitable that Genie+ was going to happen when Universal got away with their system for so long and they definitely won't go back to free, but hopefully they will find a way to make it more of a benefit for people who are annual passholders and resort guests at least. This at least gives us back the ability to plan ahead.

Really, talk to people in the park, not just as the happy ones look around. A lot of marks in the parks hate what has happened to the parks, Gene minus, unless your a phone slave all day, who know the tricks just makes longer waits for the rest of the marks in the park. I no longer can call them guests, I would never treat a guest so poorly. Hundreds of times I talked to marks in the parks and they had know idea how to use what they paid extra for. From early entry to Gene-minus. I do not steel from guests or people I know, or strangers. But I was raised with morality which Corporations like Disney do not have. So here's to the marks in the parks...have you visited Universal? WCDB

@@kuhnology8803 honestly I get where you are coming from, but I can't get past the idea that you might be trying to make "marks in the parks" happen lol. I have been to Universal, and it has always been largely soulless with a much more expensive way to skip the lines. What sucks is that something that was free isn't free and now they are going back to a similar system without losing the extra cost again. That is something worthy of being upset about, but there are a lot worse options out there still, trust me. I live near a park that is open to the public with no rides, shows, stores or restaurants open... and there is still a charge to get in lol

Having a fast pass system is not a new idea - it has existed in most parks around the world for quite some time now and it's not going away. As someone who is headed to Disney very soon I can say that Genie+/LL is one of the least expensive aspects of the trip - think about how much a character dining experience (or any food for that matter) costs! Also most people are glued to their phones anyway with or without LL/Genie+. Personally I prefer having more control over my visit by avoiding long lineups and toddler meltdowns, and it's up to me to keep the scrolling to a minimum and accept what rides I'm offered. Rather than complaining about how things are not like they used to be, I like to focus on the changes - I like that this allows families a bit of planning control (and most families with young kids WILL be planning this to the 10th degree as I am). I just hope it's fair to everyone who purchases it. I am also OK with prioritizing people who stay at Disney resorts - they have a right to give perks to their own hotel guests, and in the future I will give a Disney hotel more consideration than I did this time.

1.) I have to feed my kids a couple of times during a 12 hour park visit and 2.) It didn't eat into my time at the park and I did enjoy my day.

We do

Not the one I got, no. The premium one comes with drinks, but we have the all season drinks already

It was at King's Feast in Midieval Faire near Wilde Knightmares. In terms of recommendations, it's a matter of what you are into. You can get Mediterranean, tacos, pizza, burgers, tenders, hotdogs, noodles. Lots of options. The pulled pork I had at the Lazy Bear Lodge was tasty.

@@MisCastMembers I'm really enjoying the Grand World Eatery(Formally Backlot Café). The Mongolian beef is very tasty and the Moroccan rice goes nicely with it. One restaurant I wish they would change is Coasters. It's ok if it's insanely busy and you have to wait for them to make the food. But if you go there when it's not very busy, than you won't know how long that food has been sitting there as they make it ahead of time. I've gone a few times there and it hasn't been very good. They also need to change the exit to that. There's a bottle neck at the end that tends to make everything go much slower.

I hope they bring back take out containers at Manchu Wok. I enjoyed taking my last meal from there home and having it the following day. One thing I will do is buy the all day meal plan if my kids bring a couple of friends. So I would use the season meal plan(I have 3) for my 2 kids and one friend and I would cover the additional meal with the all day plan. Then I will go 90 minutes after that to eat something for myself. Then do the same thing for the later meal. I will also get additional meals in between the 4 hours to keep in a bag with an ice pack. I usually go visit the park 20-25 times a year.

Any hacks for Niagara falls?

@@andrewb4984 Actually I am going to be doing a couple of Niagara Falls videos this summer, mainly centred around Clifton Hill, but may do some restaurant recommendations.

Thank you

❤

That's awesome. The best part about hearing these memories is that the ones that come from different Disney eras are completely unique experiences. A Mickey Mouse piggyback is a once in a lifetime experience.

@@MisCastMembers yup. Also maleficent was the most stunning too

When I was 6 years old, my parents had us do a scavenger hunt around the house around Christmas time. We got little gifts from the clues we were given, and then the last item was a suit case that was a "Magic your Way" ticket for Disney World. My parents surprised us with a trip. Sadly, we have since lost that tape from our camcorder. very sad, but a memory I will always cherrish.

@@happyhauntzz What a fantastic memory. Thanks for sharing that. I am still trying to find footage from my honeymoon as well. We didn't take a lot of video, but I wish I had it handy

That's so nice. Thank you

Thank you so much!

most of the updates have been very minor. A sign change, a voice actor change, a wardrobe change. The biggest change was the removal of GE references in the 80s. Nothing that would constitute a complete revamp.

NO ITS NOT

And thats fake actually

Thanks so much
