  • It's Day 9 of our Walt Disney World vacation! We went back to Animal Kingdom today for only a half a day. We did as much as we could with the time that we had before heading to the airport.
    For lunch, we ate at Flame Tree Barbecue, which is a family favorite of ours, and rode a few rides before we had to leave around 1 PM.
    At the airport, we used service called Reserve - Powered by Clear to help us get through security in about 5 minutes as opposed to the standard line which was posted at 25 minutes.
    Our trip home was otherwise uneventful and we were happy to be home after a long time away.

    I have really enjoyed your videos and thank you for bringing us along on your trip! I did honestly get confused watching because I watch from two different accounts. My personal account via my laptop or tablet when I am out and about, and our family account at home. I would watch and think "this seems familiar" but continue on just to later realize I did in fact see a particular video. haha! I have never been to WDW and have considered what parks I would visit if I did. Honestly, between you guys and the Provost Park Pass channel, I want to see Animal Kingdom. It looks so beautiful and peaceful compared to the others.

    Aloha, I don't care how many days are out of sync, I enjoy your videos.
    It's kind of my vacation (I can have a few minutes to breath) as you walk through and show us the parks, love the comments and love to see the family. Also loved the shirt Aimee (Amy) was wearing in the park. (i.e Waikiki) So many things have changed in 5 years. planning for May 2025. I don't know which airlines you flew on, Delta really tries hard to keep families together, that being said, I was kicked off my flight because they changed the plane and it had a different seat format which didn't include my row number. (so the computer decided to route me through Seattle. instead of my direct flight to LAX from Hawaii)
    Safe Journeys home.

      @@SoCalDisneyDad and if you have time to visit some other things in (kind of) that area in Europe, I recommand Pairi Daiza, a beautiful zoo where you can sleep in a room with a view to the tigers, polar bears or other animals in Belgium. And Efteling, a beautiful themepark with rollercoasters, darkrides and a fairytale forest (I've heared rumors even Walt has visited this themepark in the 50's) in the Netherlands. They have hotels and cabins as well if you like to stay nereby (operated by Efteling and other hotels). I think Pairi Daiza is a 3 hour drive from Disneyland Paris and Efteling is about 4 and a half hour drive from Disneyland Paris. Enjoy preparing your trips for the upcoming vacations!

    Traver always appreciate the videos
    was just curious if you though some of the wait queues that have more interactive elements in them like snow whites or test track cause the lines to be longer?? do you prefer these types of queues for entertainment purposes

    • @SoCalDisneyDad
      @SoCalDisneyDad  Před 11 dny +1

      They might temporarily/artificially extend the queue, but in general, guests will keep moving when the line moves and the interactive elements usually are not near the actual ride vehicle, so it doesn't delay the actual boarding process. Meaning after the interactive elements end, the line stagnates normally. So any delay is to the crowd BEFORE those elements and it'll all even out by the end.
      Those interactive elements then allow guests to be entertained in line, so I like them.

    Really enjoyed your trip report! Looking back, is there anything you would’ve done differently?
    On our trip in March I wished we had done a day at Volcano Bay or Sea World instead of the third day at Universal/IOA. With Express pass we got everything done so quickly that our third day seemed pretty repetitive there.

    • @SoCalDisneyDad
      @SoCalDisneyDad  Před 11 dny +2

      We probably wouldn’t have done USF. We felt like that was a bit of a waste of a day. ET and Gringott’s were the only things we truly wanted to do that day, and neither were worth losing a WDW day to it.
      We enjoyed Villain Con and Men in Black, as well as the Bourne show, so it wasn’t a total wash. But if we were to plan another Orlando trip again immediately for next year, we’d opt to leave out USF and only do IOA. Which means we’d likely also avoid the whole split stay situation.
      And I think we’d stay at Pop Century the whole time. While I generally have enjoyed Caribbean Beach in the past, the bus situation both this time and our previous visit are making me reconsider, when the busses at Pop Century were much more accommodating and it had more updated rooms at half the cost.

    • @randywhittle9678
      @randywhittle9678 Před 10 dny

      Totally agree with your USF assessment. Other than Gringotts, Men in Black and Mummy, there was very little worth repeating there.

    Traver,what kind of budget should you use to go to Disney world.

    • @SoCalDisneyDad
      @SoCalDisneyDad  Před 11 dny +3

      It really is hard to say as you can absolutely cut and skimp just about everywhere.
      We spent close to $10,000 on this vacation, but we stayed deluxe at Universal and moderate the second half of Disney. You could stay value to save money.
      We could have saved $2,000 by cutting Universal out of the trip entirely.
      We had a sit down meal on every WDW day, and one of them was crazy expensive. You could eat all quick service or even make your own lunches if you stay off property at an Air BnB.
      And that’s not even talking about going fewer days which will save money all around.
      If you’d like someone to price out a vacation for you, call Get Away Today and let them know I sent you and someone will be able to provide a tier of options from the absolute cheapest possible way to go up to a more involved and splurge type trip.
      I bet we could have done this for $6,000 if we cut Universal, stayed at Pop the whole time, and ate only Quick Service.
      That $6,000 includes flights, which was $2,000 of the total cost.
      As for the days themselves, we averaged $200/day in food, except the second Magic Kingdom day. Ohana alone cost us $200.
