The last time we went, I made it a goal to use the app to compliment the cast members. Many of them go so far above and beyond that its worth taking 20 seconds to recognize them.
💯
Yes! And it doesn’t take long at all. I was actually hoping for a way to elaborate on my positive experience
Yes and the app makes it so easy to do
Write down your contact person and their phone number and take a picture of it and save it as your lock screen on your phone. That way if someone finds your phone and they hit your lock screen, they will call the person you are with and you can meet up to get your phone back. If you find a phone that is not locked, have the phone call mom or dad. It has worked for us in the past
Brilliant!
Your trust in the average Disney customer is greater than average.
Actually, a good idea to have backup food would be to pick up some cold grab & go items at the hotel lobby/food court area when you go back to your hotel for your mid day rest. Stash them in the mini-fridge for back up night eats.
Absolutely!
I wish the disney app would take a cue from universal's app and allow you to set an alert when a ride falls to a desirable wait time. Also it would be nice to pin your favorite attractions to a favorite list at any time and not just the day of your visit.
I also wish it wouldn’t drain my phones battery unlike the Universal app. I actually did a trip to both last year and the first day at EPCOT, I left the park with just barely 10% battery. Next day was Islands and I left with 75% by park close
@@NinthShinigami I bring a portable battery charger with me that has 2 full charges. If you're using genie plus, it will really drain the battery
Oh my goodness, SAME.
@@NinthShinigami Bring a powerbank
@@mertcanhacfazloglu4862 my fam always does but I know it’s always bothered me personally. Especially if I were to go solo. I can go to Universal just fine and not have to be on my phone all day while conserving much of the battery, whereas Disney 💀
Over 1 Million subscribed means you're doing 'Something' right... So keep it up & thank you for all that you do! We appreciate it.
Thank you, thank you, for mentioning phone use during dark rides. I have the same problem in dark theaters - having my experience degraded by glowing phones near me - but also the idea that, in the group experience of a ride, not everyone is fully engaged in the same experience.
Oh my goodness, phones in the theaters are just the WORST! Like I would’ve stayed home and streamed the movie otherwise 😭
@@dfbbreea 20 years ago i was attending movies at an independent cinema in Albany, NY. Because of the nature of my job, i could go in early to mid afternoon weekdays. It was terrific. There would be very few others in the theater, cellphones were not such a thing, and you could really immerse yourself in the movie. I want to go see “Inside Out 2”, but i know it would be crazy - i’ll wait for this initial rush to die down.
By far the BIGGEST mistake people make is going with the whole family. I've done the parks solo and its a much more enjoyable experience.
Me too I recently paid for my Disney World tickets and went to Disney by myself. And it’s also easier on the wallet because it’s just you.
Can confirm. Just did my first solo trip a few months ago and it was my best trip ever!
Can't think why NOT taking your family to the most familiest place on earth. And my last family trip cost me 5500$ on flights alone.
My first ever trip will also be a solo trip. I can’t wait!
I did a solo trip in December, and had the time of my life! I did what I wanted to do, and didn't have to ask what anyone else wanted to do.
Another good idea is to go to the camping section of Walmart or Target and buy some PLASTIC cutlery. The stuff in the camping section will be lightweight, stowable and more durable than the plastic forks they give you at the food stands and quick-stop locations. And if they forget to give you one at a food vendor, you'll have them. Just wash them when you wash your hands.
Underrated comment! And perfect for air travel too!
been to disney at least 15 times, but forever still learning! definitely needed this video because we are leaving TOMORROW😱💃🏻
We learn something new every day, too!! So you’re definitely not alone!
Hi just wanna say I been watching you for 5 months now and I feel like I know a lot . Thank you because I’m going to Disney World in September for the first time with the kids thank you for all the information. I sure did need it. Keep being great. 👍
Glad you’re here!! ❤
Thanks AJ!
Hope you love it! It really is magical, especially with littles 🎠

I have Ear Savers which I attach to my backpack. If I am wearing my wide brimmed hat (must protect against the sun), or giving my head a rest… I can still ‘wear’ my ears by clipping them to my bag.
What a great idea! Thank you!
Definitely agree with one outfir per day, unless you're there in summer. I can't make it w/o a mid-day break and shower.
I’ve definitely had to change a sweat-soaked outfit mid-park day more times than I can count 😅
I went in May and not planning on going again but i still love watching DFB! When i went i couldnt believe Rabbit was out at the Winnie the Pooh meet and greet in the Uk at epcot. It was the best. Also Breea is the best DFB member.
You’re so sweet! I’ve got quite the amazing team that helps me do what I do!
I sat in crystal palace for over an hour too. It depends where they were in the restaurant they were on the other side. I did end up missing pooh somehow. But my server made sure i got to see the others
I am so disappointed that they moved the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival dates! We are booked for Aug 20-25, and we picked those dates a year ago to ensure we were there for the event. This is my nephew's grad trip; we have talked about it for 3+ years.
Oh no! 😭 I’m so sorry!!
That's a huge bummer 😢
LOVE your videos, we watch your channel as if its the only news, and never watch real life news because its too much of a downer all the time! 91 days until we come back for 3 WEEKS! Your videos have been so GOOD! I am a super planner and have books of notes and pages laminated for each park :)
You sound SUPER ready! Proud of YOU!!
They're channel is amazingly helpful!!
Thank you, DFB Team! Thank you for cueing us into the baked mac and cheese at Eight Spoon Cafe. I will have to do all quick service snacks on my trip next year (no more big sit-down meals allowed for me!) I SO much appreciate your ideas about snacks!
We’re always excited to talk SNACKS! 😋
@@dfbbreea thank you! I was looking at those breaded corn dogs - available only at Contempo Cafe? 😢
the loaded nacho style ones are just at Contempo right now, but you can find regular corn dog nuggets around elsewhere
I hope so
The world showcase is so large both are needed
This channel is awesome, going in September, this has taught me all I need to know
Yay! So glad you’re here!

The ear hats!! Idk what they’re officially called, but I def have ✨sEnsOrY iSsuEs✨ and cannot wear headbands 😭 They’re all so cute but I got a cute Minnie ears hat and it covered my face from the burning sun too!
44:14 also epi pens! I was told that directly by a cast member at disney springs.
My trip coming up in a few weeks been learning a lot to prepare me for
Great to hear!!!

16:25 this happened to us as well at Storytellers Cafe in Disneyland… we were there 90min and hadn’t seen any characters other than the song and dance they do throughout the restaurant. We mentioned it and within 10min they all came to see us. Of course we were kind and patient but my nephew (who was 2.5 at the time) was growing impatient and getting antsy. I wish we had spoken up a tad bit earlier but that’s okay! We know that they are busy and the characters need breaks.
It happens! But it can definitely be frustrating when it does!
I love DFB videos so much, man. Whenever things were rough at home when I was younger, I would binge watch DFB videos and plan fake Disney World trips down to the letter. I learned all the tips and tricks because DFB videos are so engaging and friendly and fun. Now I’m a full grown adult and I’m about to finally go on that trip. Thank you, DFB!
That is so cool! The Tron ride at dusk with the lightning storm in the background was so cool
It’s the COOLEST.
On my January trip, I made sure to visit Guest Relations umbrellas at least twice per day to give detailed thanks to Cast Members. The app does not allow me to express my satisfaction adequately. The terrific waitress at Via Napoli who pixie dusted me an individual pizza? The wonderful clerk in the Germany Christmas ornament shop who gave me a bag of caramel corn? Manny, my waiter at Crystal Palace, who prepared a plate for me with the buffet offerings i was able to eat? The meticulous and fabulous allergy chefs at the MK fireworks parties, and at Biergarten? And on and on. Karma does work. I think they also appreciated that i was an older lady traveling solo with numerous physical issues. There is no place like Disney World.
The cast members deserve ALL the “thank you”s because they’re AWESOME.
Love this channel.
❤❤❤
Lord have mercy. I am just three "don'ts" in, and a visit there seems like an app/time management nightmare. How can all of this be fun when you're constantly booking things on an app and then constantly having to check on the times? The LAST thing I want to do on a vacation is stick my face in a smartphone all day long and adhere to a bunch of deadlines. How do people's phones even hold the battery charge all day long to do this?
I'm clearly cut from wildly different cloth. These videos have done their job, though, and that's in helping me steer clear of a confusing mess. God bless you if you find this fun. Clearly, people do though. Look at those crowds.
To be completely honest, the only thing you really need the app for is virtual queues if you want to try any of the new attractions. Last time I went, that's the only thing I used my phone for besides navigation and I was able to manage just fine. I'm part of a family of 4, and we were able to complete everything we wanted to do in the parks.
Omg I loved working at crystal palace! They always fed us there!!! 😊
First trip in 56 days!! 🥳
Yippee!!! 🎉
Enjoy!! 🏰

Great help on this video!!! Thank you 👍🏻 ❤😊
Thank you Aj.
I remember back when Test Track was open. It was still breaking down a lot. I was there 1 day in line? It broke down while in line. They thought it'd be up in a certain time. It was not, they gave rain checks out for later I did not get to use it and I lost it and have never returned for that ride. Have not been back since and I believe it has been redesigned at least twice
Thank you for this video.
Thank you for being here ❤
Yesss, finally! I'm working on my own Charlie-only version of this song as we speak
Congrats on 1Million!
Thank you!!
My first visit at Disney a duck bit my shin at Casey’s Corner because I wouldn’t share my fries hahahaha
Disney ducks are SO sassy 🦆
😮😮😮
About differentiating the cups, before you even mentioned wine charms I was thinking stickers or tying ribbons or…well use you imagination and go nuts!
For a 2 week visit, do you have to book LL multi/single? Or just buy it one or two days and the other 12 days you can strawl around en look where you dont have to wait for hours? This year we went to Universal , had a 14 day pass for just 360 dollar... We couldnt stay the whole period, but we definitely didnt miss the expresspas
favorite channel
One of mine too
Love dfb 🤍🤍
Aww thank you!!!!!
So, for the first one, lets say i wanted to close out magic kingdom at 11:00 pm, i can still catch the transportation and not be stranded
I've found that nail polish lasts longer than sharpie - usually. so if you brought that on the trip - I would use sharpie at disney because I won't bring nailpolish on vacation but before the cups go with my kid to camp weekends it gets initials in nailpolish, it's still readable on the plastic cups 5 years later and on my metal messkit from when I nailpolished my name in the metal when I was 8!
There used to be another friendship boat in Epcot Where is it? It was not running when I was there in May
It hasn't been running for quite awhile. We're not sure if maybe it just wasn't attracting enough crowds to have two boats running across the lagoon. The loading areas still exist so maybe we'll see it again in the future
Another item that will trip you up at security: eye glasses case. Never heard any mention of this, but at least at the Epcot Skyliner entrance it’s true
Hi how are you I love your videos
underpants, UNDERPANTS! 😁
😂😂
Still can't believe Disney has safer walkable communities and better public transportation than the rest of the USA.
I’m not saying you did it on purpose… but we dog the rideshare guy for saying Disney transportation is 24/7… and then we turn around and talk about the best water stations in the park.
You have to mention how MK water is swamp water. Those stations are awful.
Epcot. Connections eatery. Walk up to the drink machine and use that glorious H2O!
Same thing at HS with ABC Commissary and Backlot Express.
If water is tasting extra swampy, and you’re a water snob, bring your own Dasani/bottled water, hit up a Starbucks, or bite the bullet and buy bottled water
I have a knee replacement. Always sets off metal detectors
how do you find out what lands are open early for resort guest at each Park?
Except at Magic Kingdom, all lands are open. Parts of World Showcase open later. Some rides may have later opening times.
I heard in one video that there is a make your own tie dye shirt. Could you let me know which hotel offers this?
We've seen it at a few hotels in the past, but it definitely rotates. When you check-in you can ask at the front desk or keep an eye out for activity boards around the hotel that will tell you what is available that week
Tomorrow is my birthday so hopefully the video released tomorrow will be AWESOME 🤞🤞
Happy almost bday!! ❤
Thank you 😊
First mistake.... Going there in the first place! END OF VIDEO!
who tf are you 🤣
Ice , I just want ice . I guess I’m not the normal person. I have to have a whole cup of ice to enjoy my drink. I’ll bring my drink but I want ice while I’m in the parks. I know it’s weird but I will go without drinking anything if it doesn’t have ice , even if it’s cold. To me cold is room temperature, ice makes it colder, but that’s just my Autism thing.
“Don’t feed the birds”
Hahaha last summer a bird literally flew up to our table and took a chicken tender off of my son’s plate and flew away with it 😂 Not kidding about them being aggressive!
A bird eating a chicken tender just feels wrong 😂😅
The last time I was in Hollywood Studios I when to PizzeRizzo at 5:15pm 😢
If you buy something from a store that isn't Disney will they still ship it?
My change purse sets off the scanners ! After the first two times, I left coins at hotel room.
I learned the white clothes rule the hard way. I have no idea how, because I had ZERO orange food and constantly checked while I ate and drank to make sure I didn’t spill, but SOMEHOW my nice white tank top with cute beads and yadda yadda ended up stained orange in a lot of spots after I wore it to EPCOT in May. 🤦🏽♀️
We are DVC and have taken advantage of split stays. Do the hotels also offer split stays?
Yes
i see it at Starbucks all the time. DONT get the wrong one, or take to long to get your food. It should be a life lesson, not just a Disney lesson. OH MY GOSH I HATE LOSING MY PHONE! its the worst feeling in the whole world. one time at a convention; I didn't decide to go to the last place i had it (of course) I looked everywhere else, and i had a panic attack. I even went to our (convention) lost and found. Guess where it was! It was at the last booth I was! They even texted the last person I texted (how nice of them...weird, but nice) It was a long convention day, and needless to say, I broke down and cried happy tears. (as i said, it was a long day)
WHEW! Glad you got it back!
@@dfbbreea yea, thank you, it was very stressful, but i did get it!
Can you book two lighting lane at 7 when they come available will be able to book tron and Tina bayou
You can totally hold up to two Individual Lightning Lanes per day, but remember - Tiana’s Bayou Adventure does NOT have an ILL. You can grab a Lightning Lane for it with a regular Genie+ purchase!
Can we get a link to the clips for the minnie ears; couldn't find them when I looked on Amazon. Thank you!
You can get it here! amzlink.to/az00nQBcSmPE5
Slap bracelets work well too on the handle of your LoungeFly
HEY, AJ !!!!!!!!! 🤗🤩😄👋💙💙💙
Wait so is the Epcot lounge still open to pass holders?
I don’t think so. It doesn’t show up anymore on the app.
do you have a podcast?
ngl some of these seem more like minor inconveniences than something that would actually ruin your vacation, or simple mistakes that can be done even at a county fair or smth (mixing up cups or wearing loose items on rides for example). if i ever somehow get to disney, i probs would shrug some of this stuff off.
sorta dumb mistakes are easy to deal with if you arent super uptight and over thinking every little detail, which already ruins the trip.
Crystal Palace is terrible for dinner… the food is awful.
Am I the only one who has had terrible luck with Fuel Rods? Not only have I gotten "charged" ones that didn't charge my phone, I've tried recharging them and had the same result. I bring my own chargers with cables now. $30+ down the drain.
Trip in 88 days
Yay!! 🎉
Only 4 mistakes at Epcot Les Halles no table but a nice cast member let me sit where you get utensils Sadly it was so fast I did not get a the name. And I forgot about a meet and great for Visa people. Security did not like my phone charger
Oof - I’ve been flagged for my phone charger before too! 😅
wait what does free dining mean???
Free Dining is a promo that Disney World offers occasionally. Essentially you'll buy a vacation package and pay full price for the room & tickets, but you'll get the Dining Plan added for no extra cost.
Only 50 mistakes? Seems like should be closer to 100?
Thank you for saying Not to feed them. I heard a report on how many had to be euthanized because they were sick! They can not should not be eating people food! Now if they fly down and grab out of your hand that's not the same I'm talking intentionally feeding them. I yelled at some adults about it then they gave me dirty looks! It's not funny! You're literally killing them!
I understand how tempting it can be, but we want keep our little animal buddies safe! ❤
My advice is: DON'T GO! 🤣🤣🤣
Single digit club
If there are this many mistakes to avoid, maybe people should vacation somewhere else.
Corn dog nuggets ❤️❤️❤️
Nuggies for LIFE! 🌭

The magic number of underwear to bring is 0.If you don't wear it you don't have to change it
Hot dog, I’m fir----
Mistake no.51: Going there!
Then why are you watching?
@@rb5078 i don’t. only wrote the comment…..
Just don't go there anymore. Six Flags has become better!
Six Flags isn't a 'Theme Park', it's an 'Amusement Park'! I went there when I worked there as a teen. Got bored. I could see Universal being compared to Disney, but Six Flags to Disney is like Apples to Rocks.
I hate to say it. The long lines and increased costs have me opting for Lego land and Universal studios unfortunately
Six Flags is cool, but imma always side with Universal. My personal favorite theme park resort 🔥🙌 love Disney too, but Universal more, especially now. Besides anyone can go where they please :)
The first mistake is paying Disney to go to their overpriced park for broken attractions and budget cut performances...
