YAY MEGA FEST!!! LET’S GOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
I subscribed during my state's Colvid lockdown to help keep me sane. ♥️
We need force them to stop charging extra for FastPass.
That's not gonna happen. It's the industry standard that every park is doing.
The Pixies have asked for a cost-of-living increase, can't keep giving away that magic for free.
@@metallicnole4514 memba when disney was the standard?
Or they can do what Universal does and charge an insane amount so people don’t buy it and everyone goes thru standby. Works like a freaking charm each time :)
@@daa589 You may not agree with what they are doing but they are still the standard and are held to a higher standard than universal, which is why they are scrutinized under a microscope as such.
I miss the package deliveries to your room from the parks. It was great to shop and not have to carry anything around all day and then find your purchases in your room at the end of the day!
That was nice
they stopped doing that??
@@RagdollWraithyup. During the Bob Chapek era, they cut a LOT of services that made Disney Magic.
Noooo!
Universal still does it. To all thier hotels, even the cheaper ones.
I don’t know how AJ does it, when she talks it what you imagine a smile sounds like.
YES! I always imagined her smiling even a bit during all her video narrations.
It's very newsreporter coded.
Ikr!
Disney: "Here is a cool thing!" People: "We can ruin it. Except Star cruiser, that is on you."
Nah Star Wars is the only thing worth going there for
I'll never forget the American Idol show. My sister's friend made it to the finals of one of the shows. One thing we did notice is that you could tell right away who was going to win, the person to sing last won every show.
A core memory, for sure!
I can see how the sporks disappeared, but wouldn't everyone notice someone carrying a giant red pencil past the hostess stand and around the park?😲
Backpacks probably
The Starcruiser was way way waaaaay too overpriced, it really wasn’t a surprise it was gonna shut down. Not too many Star Wars fans have the money to dish out for something like that, and not every single Star Wars fan with that kinda money was gonna see it worthwhile for that price either…
Also, I really really wish I got to experience Alien Encounter, sounded so cool. And congrats on 15 years :)
It also just never worked right, apparently. I know several people who went and spent varying amounts of money on extras and nobody came back without some pretty serious complaints about the game and the roleplaying not actually working properly (Characters not trained on how to deal with certain very basic types of interactions and the app just glitching out and never sending missions or updating progress were the most common). Seems like it was extremely rushed and nobody bothered to actually hang out with Star Wars fans before it was all put together. She doesn't cover everything, but Jenny Nicholson has a pretty great 4 hour video on her and her sister's experience when they went just as regular joes and not under the influencer umbrella.
@@elisabeth2166 yup, yup, all that too
If you're going to open an overpriced Star Wars hotel, don't go out of your way to flush Star Wars down the toilet.
And how many times would anyone want to do this, especially at those prices.
It was a failure of publicity. I've never known anyone who went who didn't think they got every penny of their money's worth. Th only people who thought it was too expensive were the people who didn't understand what they'd be getting for the price and thought it was a themed hotel.
I miss the 20,000 Leagues submarine ride. It was the first ride I was ever on in WDW in 1975. The animatronics were terrible and so fake as to be laughable, but it was still fun.
It was fake as we got older but when young it was Amazing
That ride scared me a little as a 5 Yr old.
I miss when they used to have live swimmers dressed as mermaids acting out and occasionally swimming to greet the guests while they were boarding the subs. Granted, it didn't last long, but it was a really neat touch.
My childhood trauma ride, the portholes were leaking and I thought we were going to drown lol
Oh gawd. What year was that? guess it needed to close 😅
My sister has special needs and the fact that you promoted Give Kids The World just really made my day. They are an amazing organization!
The big loss with Pleasure Island was the Adventurers Club. And a little shout out to the Comedy Club too.
The loss of Osborne Lights still hurts 😢
Christmas just ain’t the same 😭
That Stitch ride was just as traumatic as the alien ride it replaced, if not more. I will never forget the smell of that burp.
Yes, lots of kids traumatized… was funnier than the Laugh Floor
To be honest, I’d like to see Alien Encounter make a comeback with the Alien Xenomorph now that Disney has the rights.
Yes bro yes, and Alien Romulus looks so cool too! Easily one of my most anticipated coming movies
I honestly think my dad would LOVE this attraction! He's into the thrills and scares - unlike me. xD
I told him about this attraction recently, and I don't think he even knew of it, only the Stitch one.
Honestly, I can't even take the complaints of "terrified kids" seriously. Alien wasn't a kids movie. Not everything should be catered to them, give the adults things to do as well - and not just related to bars, clubs, and drinking!
this would be AWESOME for grown-ups, but let me tell you, as a former Florida local, it was not fun to see all the frightened, shellshocked, sobbing little ones coming out of Alien Encounter because their parents didn't heed the "this attraction is SCARY" warning.
@@familyoftacticaldroids309agreed
I wish
The little extras that Disney keeps removing makes it feel too commercial. Wish they could get back to the little things that count mentality
And all the nickel and diming is just insulting. I think people wouldn't mind paying more for admission if everything was included.
People are becoming more entitled and are taking advantage of everything, which makes it worse for the rest of us who aren’t thieves or idiots.
Disney was forced to stop caring about us little guys...happy 15th anniversary dfb🎉
When I was a kid, I remember there used to be a self-serve plastic cheese dispenser right next to the ketchup at cosmic rays
Those were the good ol’ days………*siiiiigh*
I'll never forget turning plain old French Fries into the most decadent loaded fries with loads of cheese, onions and mushrooms. Well never get that back.
Used to be one at Casey's Corner too. 🤨Disney has been chipping away at the amenities for a Long Time now.
"Single largest pool in all of Disney World."
Typhoon Lagoon would like a word.
I wish they would bring back some form of luggage being taken care of..We use Mears for the transportation, but now, you are totally on your own with your luggage when you get to Orlando.
Really, that’s what you want… you can’t take care of your own luggage??? What are you bringing w you?
Universal still lets you hold your luggage and will be offering airport luggage pick up for Epic, if you stay at Helios. 😊
I did the American Idol Experience when I was 17! It was very fun, they did my hair and makeup and I got to perform in front of so many people!
Pleasure Island was awesome. New Year's fireworks EVERY night. Adventures Club was fun.
Definitely think Alien Encounter/Stitch Escape should return. People have to realize that not EVERYTHING in WDW is for kids. It's like the people that get upset when they voluntarily bring their young kids to an R rated movie. Use some discretion people.
You forgot swimming with sharks at typhoon lagoon. Was so cool
I did that back in the 90s, was awesome and very cold!
Yes!
I only got to go into Adventurer's Club once, but it was an absolute highlight. Went back the next day to buy a t-shirt, which I proudly word until it was just rags.
That place was the COOLEST!
We want a Haunted Mansion Hotel experience!!!! That would be AMAZING!!
OoooOOOOOOOOOH!!! That’d be EPIC!!!
OMG! I won the American Idol experience on the day that I went! It was so cool! I did end up going to the real American Idol auditions and only got past the first round. Definitely a core memory!
That’s so cool!!!!
i LOVED Writer's Stop when i was a WDWCP Cast Member. They had these HUGE muffins that were marked as merch. So you were able to get them at discount. But if you were just a normal guest, the normal price for muffin was perfect. it was the School Bread snack of Studios.
The Writer’s Stop was such a big loss for the park 😭 (At least it was in my HEART.)
Honestly what made me mad is that they changed the Chinese theater ride
The whole point was for the ride to be centered around Hollywood
Now it doesn’t make sense
Yup agreed. Nothing will ever change my mind that Great Movie Ride was one of the most goated attractions ever imo, and Runaway is mediocre at best for me.
The Great Movie Ride was fantastic! I am not thrilled with its replacement.
Great Movie Ride was a GEM! 😭
It dwindled in popularity, plain and simple
MMRR is definitely not superior in any way
As both a Walt Disney Company shareholder and a Walt Disney World annual pass holder I understand they need to make money and cover expenses like paying cast members and utilities to run the hotels and parks. But there is a point that the average family can no longer afford to park to the parks anymore; then the company will lose revenue. My first family family trip to Walt Disney World for a 10 day trip in the Summer of 1983; when I was 7 my mother was on Social Security disability and a stay at home mom my father made $13 an hour as a General Motors assembly line worker. Back in the 1980s the average family could afford a Walt Disney World vacation without going into credit card debt!!!
Thank you so much for this channel. I grew up in Florida, now living in Indiana, and watch your videos to get my Disney fix when not vacationing. In a few short weeks I will be starting treatment for breast cancer and will not be able to visit Florida for quite some time. Your videos will help get me through that time and help give me something to look forward to as I fantasize about the next time I get to walk down Main Street. Thank you again for the great job you and your team are doing!
Wishing you all the best with treatment and a speedy recovery
Thanks for being here with us - and we’ll be here for you ❤❤
If a hotel is so immersive that it doesn’t have windows, I’m out.
And the fact that there was no fire escape freaked me out! They really expected guests to hide in a “fireproof” closet until help arrived. Yeah no thanks
Congratulations on 15yrs! I wouldn’t have been able to prepare for my family’s Disney trip in 2018 without DFB and your Universal content is helping me prepare for our family trip this year! Thank you for all your hard work!
Thank you for being here with us!!
Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom - i was on my way to complete the set of cards.
The transportation cards are still fun.
We can't have anything good....
Japanese children: totally fine to go on miles long journeys alone
American children: drown themselves to hear an animated character talk underwater
This, exactly this is why Americans always "think" we're the "greatest" but in reality...not so much.
Don’t be a weeb
Congratulations on 15 years!! 🎉❤
What about the Who Wants To Be a Millionaire at MGM/Hollywood Studios? I remember standing in line and a member telling people in line random facts that were asked in the show in case you were picked. That’s when I learned Minnie was originally Pluto’s owner and she gave Pluto to Mickey as her first gift
Instead of shutting down Alien Encounter, if your child/mutant is a frightened little baby then don't take it on THE RIDE!!
Sorry AJ, the Galactic starcruiser segment was silly sugarcoating - we all know the real problem ;-)
Yes; the real problem was poor publicity.
Pleasure Island was my fav on my first WDW visit and I spent EVERY NIGHT at the Adventurers Club and still have my AC canteen. Also New Years Eve every night!
That’s so awesome!
Congratulations on 15 years
Congratulations on your milestones! Thank you for all the information! On my last trip, it was almost 20 years since I had gone to a park. Your tips and tricks were LIFE savers, and the food reviews and advice made decisions on meals easier. Thank you!
Happy B-Day DFB! Thanks For All You've Done For Us! Here's To Many More Years Of Magic! 💖 🥂
I just miss Electric Umbrella soooo much!!!!!
Epcot is empty without it 😢
A classic!!
Ate there everytime i went to Epcot. I miss it also
I think that Pleasure Island could make a grand comeback with all the "Disney Adults" now. It could be rowdy AF (with all those people already fighting in the parks), but it could be a great place for fun and for Disney to make Bank again.
I miss Disney Quest!
Yes!!! That place was a blast!
If you missed ExtraTerrorEstrial, don't fret: you can still ride its awesome clone in Staffordshire, England. Nemesis Sub-Terra is essentially a five-minute version of Alien Encounter where the floor "collapses" and the seats drop eleven feet straight down into an alien hatchery, where a bunch of eggs hatch and splash you with water. Then everything goes dark and it turns into a more conventional version of the classic Disney ride. Following that, you go through a miniature haunted house full of scare actors. It's easily the most terrifying ride at the entire park, but if you're not an Alien Encounter fan, you can still ride all the world-record-breaking coasters nearby.
I found you two years ago on a lonely maternity leave and have watched nearly every video since then. You clearly put so much thought, care and dedication into every post. I haven’t been to Disney since I was 8 but thank you for being there with joyful content. ☺️💛
Thanks for hanging out with us!
Honestly if they would offer the starcruiser at the same price for 2 weeks to a month and keep the story ammount but spread it outside over 2 weeks to a month wich is much more worth ones money...
I think that could fix the starcruiser thing, whilst making it more fun yet not completely compressed in 2 days and 2 nights and perhaps make some activities free from the overall story apart from when a guest is planned to go there like think something like where you are being arrested by jabba the hut and you need to explain yourself and then get either reasoning to be held there or someone like han solo saves you...
Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you for remembering the Adventurer's Club! Attending a "performance" there is one of my most treasured Disney memories. I still have the little canteen I got as a drink souvenir. Those were the days of truly immersive Disney storytelling entertainment. Thanks for the walk down memory lane and congrats on 15 wonderful years!
I miss river country!
thank GOD the starcruiser was shut down lmao
Congratulations on fifteen years of DFB! You are one of my very favorite CZcams channels! A couple of comments: (1) i am so glad i bought my spork ($10) at Docking Bay 7, because i had no idea this option would end! (2) I used to love help-yourself toppings bars too, but after a couple of very bad experiences with sickness, i am now glad they are gone. You can’t trust people not to cough on or otherwise contaminate food. Being able to eat all the guacamole i want, though - that i miss. I have never had plastic cheese, but maybe I’ve got to try it now!
I was at Docking Bay 7 on the 1st and absolutely bought a Space Spork with my meal! So they're not gone, though I don't know when they came back again or if they'll stick around.
My dad used to work at Pleasure Island. That's where he started bartending, and he has a pin from most of the clubs he worked out down there! He also has the recipe book for the drinks! It's so cool to hear him talk about it ❤
Ahh! That’s SO awesome!
I'll add a couple more
1) Free line skip passes - because money is king, and making people who already dropped a ton on vacation feel like second class citizen and have a horrible experience in the park is apparently one of Disney's prime directives, after all it's just a LITTLE bit more.
2) Delicious pastries on Main Street - see 1, plus too many coffee snobs (irony incoming) out there who have to have Starbucks. Now walking into the park at 8am and using a single snack credit on a cinnamon roll the size of a camping pillow that will give you the jitters for the next hour is just a tale of the past.
I loved Alien Encounter as a kid
You brave, brave soul you 🤣
I love your channel. This is the second vacation to Disney that I have planned using your helpful information. I have twenty six more days till my amazing 9 day trip I have planned with your help. This time I remembered to plan a non-park day, thanks to your advice. Thank you again for all you do to keep us informed about the happiest place on Earth.
Also, last time I went to Disney I wasn't able to try the Pulled Pork Fries at Flame Tree BBQ like you suggest, and I had heard they didn't have them anymore. I just checked their menu and they are listed again. Oh how I do hope I get to try them this time.
Thanks for being here!!
Writer's Stop is one of our sore spots too. Fewer and fewer of those types of niche "hidden" goodies in the parks these days.
the star cruiser was cool, but ridiculous. our trip ALONE costed 4000 dollars. spending that to stay in a hotel is crazy!
*cost
But you're not spending that to stay in a hotel. You clearly still have no idea what the Starcruiser even was.
Have you done one about the older rides that are gone? I remember the submarines so well. I really believed the subs went under water.
We have!!
How on earth do you nab a giant pencil??? "Hey, Sir, is that a giant pencil in your pocket - or are you just happy to see me???".
Happy 15th DFB 🎉🎉🎉! Thanks for all of your helpful videos.
Congratulations AJ. Love the channel. 😎
I miss the kiss goodnight at MK! Such a great way to end the day
Remember when on Earth, not alone Disney... If you didn't pay directly for it or it you weren't directly told that you can keep it, then you'll STEELING!!! That includes the items in your resort room.
Poor Galaxy Edge lost the sporks and the Smuggler's Run 'employment' tags.
Congratulations on 15 years. I watch your videos a lot 👏🏻🌟🥳
🪦🪁R.I.P. Kite Tales🧡
😭😭😭
Loved watching it with my 2 year old!
Congratulations. I have been a subscriber for many years. I always depend on your guidance when I visit WDW.
Love the people mover!!! Was mad 3 years ago it was down for refurbishment
15 years!!!! CONGRATS!!!
If the Kim Possible interactive game isn’t on this list, I will cry cause I feel like I’m the only one who remembers it
I'm surprised there was no mention of the EXTREME downsizing of the 4th of July decorations and especially the very minimal and shortened fireworks display.
CZcams's algorithm hadn't been bringing you up on my main page in a long time. It was nice to hear some news from you again. Side note, I don't understand why they are so stubborn to not just turn the galactic Cruiser into a regular Disney Resort hotel. I would love to stay there and leave at my own free will.
There also used to be a wagon by Big Thunder that was strictly for McDonald's fries. (Disneyland)
I remember getting fries one day, and then they were gone the next! We were all so sad
Forgot about that!!
I have been watching for about 15 years. I so enjoy especially your food videos.
LOVE these park history vids
We do too!!
Thanks for the GKTW shoutout! As the mom of a former wish kid and a wish granter I LOVE it!
In 2019, my son did the Pirates Adventure game. He loved it. This past spring, we did an escape room that was pirates themed and it reminded me a lot of the Disney pirate game. I wonder how some Disney themed Escape Room games would go over at Disney World or Disneyland. Could do Pirates of the Caribbean, Peter Pan, Toy Story, Sorcerers Apprentice, etc?
You left out making great movies.
Great vid guys
Thanks for hanging out with us!
You forgot River Country and the Island walk around that was just across the water from the Campsites.
Queue for tron gone, i literally got ditched by my friends because we went with school and they never stayed to be told they could go by a chaperone, and my other friend and i had to look at someone’s location to find them
so glad hear your voice again
Too bad they weren't forced to stop work on Tiana's Breakdown Adventure!
Oh well, I can *STOP* going to Disney Parks.
Congratulations!! 🎉🎉🎉
I remember being in ExterTERRORestrial Encounter in 1996... Everybody around me screaming, some people crying, and others crying out in terror...
...God, I miss it...
I'm surprised they gave the name "Pleasure Island" to an unrelated nightclub rather than an area/ride themed after the island from Pinocchio.
I predict the Galactic Starcruiser will simply become a Star Wars-themed hotel. No immersive shows, no "cruise", no $6000 price tag - it's a normal Disney hotel but it just happens to be themed to Star Wars.
We were just at Docking Bay 7 this week and the sporks are available for $10. Just checked on mobile order and they are available!
14:33 I think the free trading cart game was the base for what is now called Lorcana. It looks and sounds similar.
They should make the star wars resort for everyone can stay there with reasonable prices. Some money is better than no money. 200-400 a night is a good price point.
Alien encounter was one of the best innovations Disney made than they get rid of it…
24:08 I feel like some type of night show that wouldn’t disturb the animals would be perfect in there
I have a Writer’s Stop latte cup that I love.
Cherish that cup ❤
I know it's late but congratulations on making it to one million subscribers.
Thank you!
O:39. The Dapper Dan in blue, second from the left, is named Myron Whittlesey. He sings bass in the 2017 Barbershop Harmony Society International championship quartet for 2017, Main Street. The other Main Street members also sing or have sung as Dapper Dans at WDW. Main Street is most famous for their pop song medley, and for tap dancing while they sing.
The sporks are back at Docking Bay 7 for $10.99.
Love Sorcerers’ of the Magic Kingdom. Just found an original binder for my cards at one of those cheap souvenir stores on my last trip. Wish they would bring it back!
So glad I didn't imagine the Iago & Zazu takeover, I thought it was a fever dream lol
Love your videos… desperate to return to WDW
