Last time we went to Magic Kingdom, we bought a snack at the Main Street Confectionery. When we came outside to eat it, we were asked by a CM to sit on the side of the road to watch the parade while we eat it! Never happened before and we couldn’t believe it! It was a dream come true : a Main Street confectionery snack and plenty of space to sit while watching the parade! 🎉
That’s the dream!! 😍
So cool!
For me, it’s simply not a trip to Magic Kingdom without getting on Haunted Mansion and Pirates of The Caribbean. Two of my favorite rides EVER. I’d add Peoplemover on there too 👍
Now THAT’S a trip I can get behind!
And tron and seven dwarfs
@@CarolCityCane305 I would maybe add Tron since it is nice for Disney to have another coaster (tho it could’ve been better), but Seven Dwarfs? Absolutely not, for me personally. Neither of them are some of my favorite rides ever, so there’s that too…
My three favorite rides haha
I agree with those and i'd add Space and Big Thunder Mountain as well as Jungle Cruise for the nostalgia factor.
Hey DFB, It would be even more helpful for first time visitors if you can show it briefly on where the location actually is on the Disney map it self. Thanks 🙏
If you’re trying to find a certain location for something, go ahead and download the My Disney Experience App for free! In the search engine, type in the thing you’re looking for, tap on the result, and you should see the “Find on Map” option - which will track it down for you inside the parks! There’s even a directions option that acts like a GPS of sorts that’ll point you in the right direction, too
Yes, I've also used the GPS
I really love your channel!!! I will be traveling solo to DisneyWorld in September and I cannot get enough of your content. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Solo Disney is awesome! Enjoy!
So happy you’re here!
@dfbbreea Hi there Bree, how do we add the paid lightening lane to our Disney Experience?
@@driayoung710 Hi! Are you wanting to add an Individual Lightning Lane or Genie+?
Leaving in 8 days. 12 year old son last went 8 years ago, but doesn’t remember it. So looking forward to it. Cast Member in 1990 so looking forward to returning “home”.
we just love WDW . . all parts. Enjoy !
Only 13 more days until I leave for DisneyWorld!!!
SO CLOSE!!
36 days until I leave
We go in 19 days!!!
71 for me..enjoy
9 for me!
Gaston's now charges for extra icing. I guess that request became too popular. 😔
Disney really squeezing every penny they can get 😂
No!! Really?? Darn you Gaston! 😅
@@parkerwalker5128 noooooo oneeeeee’s slick as Gaston no one’s as mean as Gaston, inexplicably greedy just like Gaston
AJ out here doing the Lord's work! Thanks for all you do, I'm sure it's a miserable job out there spending your days at Disney, but I'm glad you do it for the rest of us. Great video as always 😊
Taking all 4 of our teens for another drama free, straight As year of school. Excited for DW after years of only Disneyland. Kids are pumped! Your videos just play all dang day here until we leave in 2 weeks!!!
That’s SO AWESOME! They’ve EARNED this!!
Just 3 more days till my vacation!
How exciting!! ✨🐭🫶🏼
OMG AJ!!!! You guys should do this for all the parks!!! This was definitely super duper helpful! I'm starting the planning for my family's vacation and this is super eber helpful!!! Thank you! 🙌🎯🙏
Be there from July 1st to July 7th. Epcot 4th of July fireworks are the best.
🎆🎆🎆
We have all our ADRs. I’m going next month.
Set up for success! ❤
I went To Magic Kingdom Last Year In The Month Of September 7 2022 For My Disney Vacation
How was the weather? Lol I'm going in September this year. First time going in summer heat
@@lorit5046 It Was Good I Had The Privilege And The Honor To Give Mickey And Minnie Mouse A hug 🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂
usually one of the BEST times to go b/c kids are in school !!!!
@@esciteach7997 Right 👍
36 days left until my trip
Have a magical time!!!
I fly out tomorrow. So excited
Have so much fun!!!!!
We’re going August 7 very excited
good time to go as families are (usually) back home getting ready for school. However, most European countries have an August break from school, so "hit or miss." Let us know!
@@esciteach7997 will do and thanks
August 9th 😊
@@christopherboydandmartinsc9322 WDW is amazing. Period. I am past my 30's and still love it! Enjoy.
Thanking you later that is now AJ. The hushpuppies at the Harbour House is delicious.
MMMMM…. HUSHPUPPIES……..
There’s always so much shade thrown on CRT. I have only been twice(May 23 and February 24) but both times it was fantastic and now it’s a must dine each trip. Well worth the price of the meal then the character interaction and dining experience was top notch. For reference, we get the braised beef, grilled filet mignon(the potato pavé is perfection also), and the clock strikes 12 for dessert. Going for my birthday in November! Can’t wait!
I'll be in WDW in 7 days, 🎉
Yippee!!
I feel like you should be showing a map when talking about paths and short cuts, especially when many aren't as familiar with the Park as you guys. Just a thought. 😊
Sounds like someone needs to visit the mouse more often, so when AJ is talking you can literally visualize the entire portion of that park in your mind!!! 😄
We actually recently made a post on our DFB site that walks you through some of those secret paths! Just search for “Disney Food Blog + Shortcut Maps” in your Google search engine, and we’ll pop up toward the top of the page! :D
I will have parkhopper, genie + and MVMCP tickets. Can I book a ILL for Tron at 7am during MVMCP hours and avoid the 6pm virtual queue for party guests?
Hi! Great question!
So last year, ILLs were not available for the parties - and I’m guessing it’s gonna be the same this year, too (though I’ll let ya know if I hear otherwise). That being said, you’re still more than welcome to get an ILL for Tron BEFORE the party kicks off during daytime hours. I just know that some folks like to plan it out where they get to ride TRON at NIGHT. You can always book an ILL for the day, just to make sure you ride it, and then try for a FREE virtual queue at 6PM! Then, you might get to ride Tron TWICE that day!
@@dfbbreea thank you so much.
Just got back from my first trip to WDW! In a nutshell, it was a sweltering hot hike in a picturesque movie set environment. Glad I got to form my own opinion. It’s off my bucket list!
Leaving tomorrow!
Really wish they would bring back the 50th anniversary corn beef and pepper jack egg rolls at the adventureland cart!! So yummy!!
Wow that sounds delicious! 🤤
Another great video, Thanks AJ! ❤ 🧚♀️
Haunted Mansion 25 times .
👻👻👻
I would take a picture with the Walt & Mickey statue ALSO the statue of ROY Disney as well
Absolutely!!
That space mountain during the Mickeys not so scary halloween party was SO cool Seriously PITCH black the ENTIRE ride
The first time I rode the Halloween overlay, I was like, “Okay, how different is this REALLY gonna be?” And then I got off the ride and was like “holy COW that was INTENSE.” 😂😅
Thank you for this, I’m going to Disney World tonight and this has helped me for what to and where to go!
54 days and counting!!!! Taking the kiddos for their first experience
How FUN!!!
I got to see the fireworks from the astro orbiter.
It was a unique view, all right. I got to see about 10% of the show, when my spaceship was facing just the right way. And then the ride was over and I had to wait in the elevator down and miss some more fireworks. And then I had to find a good viewing angle since there was all of tommoroland between us. And missed the show, naturally.
😢
Brushing up on your videos again for my trip in 72 days! 🎉
I LEAVING TMRW NIGHT 🔥🔥🔥
Now that you mentioned shortcuts, those will be jammed packed and the main pathways will be less crowded.....
That all said, I don't recognize half if not most of the attractions mentioned here. Haven't been to Disney (or kept up with it) since the late 90's.
Will you/do you have a video about the budget resorts? Are there perks with those?
Can you get both a virtual queue and Genie+ reservation?
I think you can.
Have we really forgotten Patrick Begorra so soon?? The leprechaun that lives in Magic Kingdom?? That's who uses the tiny doors!!
Patrick lives in Disneyland! But I’m sure he appreciates all the tiny doors in Magic Kingdom when we stops by for a visit!
25 days until we leave for Disney!!!
I'm a little surprised that Brer Rabbit's door got rethemed. It would have been a fun Easter Egg. Now I wonder what they're going to do for the homage to the original ride. You know they'll include one!
Just 4 more sleeps until Disney!! I can’t wait! But also I can’t get the best snack guide to send my email. I would love to have it in the park
28 more days for our family of 11 !!!
Oh boy! Have FUN!!
Here is a tip I discovered after the Fireworks. Instead of fighting the crowds on Main St, go through the Emporium. It takes a fraction amount of time.
Questions:
1) Should you tip the Disney photographers? Does it make a difference if you bought the photo pass?
2) I've heard you say you update the guides a couple of times a year. I'd like to get the most recent available before my June 2025 honeymoon. Do you know when that will come out?
3) Was orange Dole Whip or Dole Whip in orange juice ever a thing (thinking 1980s-90s) or is that only in my head? *Maybe* it was pineapple and ice cream but my taste-memory keeps saying Orange
Thank you! I'm addicted to these videos (and your newsletter) 🥰
Hi! Great questions!
1.) You don’t have to tip photopass photographers, just like how you don’t have to tip cast members at the attractions and popcorn carts. They’re there to help you out, no gratuity necessary.
2.) So happy you’re wanting to snag a guide! We’re not sure when the 2025 guide will be out just yet, but I PROMISE those newsletters will let you be the FIRST to know once it goes live! If you’d still like to look into the 2024 ones (because I know how excited *I *get before a trip and wanna look over EVERYTHING asap LOL), we make sure the 2024 guides are kept updated, as well! So you don’t have to worry about being super thrown off course if you decide to buy one now rather than later.
3.) Dole Whip rotates through a LOT of different flavors (but pineapple is always the staple)! But what you’re probably thinking of is the Citrus Swirl that was served over at Sunshine Tree Terrace in Magic Kingdom! Currently, there’s a DIFFERENT version of the Citrus Swirl being offered - the Orange Cream Soft-Serve Cup - which is a combination of Dole Whip Orange and Vanilla Soft Serve. YUM!
@dfbbreea Thank you SO much!! Qs 1 & 2 were exactly what I needed to know. And you're ABSOLUTELY right about #3: that's the stand ot was at!!! Thanks for confirming that I'm *not* losing my mind (about this at least 🤪). Suck a yummy treat!!
Thanks again for all the info!!
Tipping the photo pass person or literally anyone working at WDW could get them fired.
How about a printable 1 page map of each park? 😊
I feel like those hush puppies should be corn fritters
Pro tip--You can buy the fuel rod chargers online at certain large retailers--often for less. Then you just use them like any other at the parks.
there's also a fuel rod swap out at the edge of the inside dinning room at Caseys Corner to the left as your entering The Emporium
Can you make a food guide for disney paris resorts? Especially snacks fast food food with no reservations in the park
Bathrooms where (time stamp-s- please)
Will the Disney app not give us the quicker ways (short cuts ) around to the next ride when u select the directions to walk?
Kendrick sockey 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Ok. Important question to me. Will Tiana's have a single rider line?
You should show the map when describing the paths - visuals are better than descriptions
Are the upstairs bathrooms accessible?
I know that it's nowhere near October, but I was wondering will Walt Disney World be really busy around October 21st - the 26th?
i took the shortcuts on my trip to WDW last month, rode the railroads. Tianna was not open. peoplemover
I am new to your channel.. Did you make a video on how to get a Disney magic key card... Or when you can't get a disney key card
5 more days until I got to Disneyworld
Any tips on where we can refill water in the parks?
In your My Disney Experience App, type “water bottle refill” in the search engine and then select “find on map!”
129 days to disney :))
Hello I have a question about the virtual queues if anyone could help. If you are staying in one park all day with a virtual queue ride and are able to successfully join the 7am queue are you also able to try and join again for the 1pm queue or will you be blocked from trying? Also if you successfully join a queue are you able to also purchase an individual lightning lane for the same ride in order to ride twice?
Hi! If you successfully enter the 7am virtual queue for a ride, you will not be eligible for the 1pm drop. HOWEVER, you CAN purchase an Individual Lightning Lane AND enter a virtual queue for double rides on the same day!
Talking about restrooms and “plenty of seating” makes me laugh
🙈
Im planning to go to wdw, do i have to disconnect my magicband+ from the disneyland app then connect it to the my disney experience app for wdw?
Hi! AWESOME question!
According to the Disney website, you’ll need to open your phone's Bluetooth settings and choose "Forget This Device" once you've located your MagicBand+ on the list. Then, open up Disney World’s MDE app and tap on the option for "MagicBands and Cards.” Select "Link Your MagicBand of Card,” and then select the "Tap" option to open your phone's scanner to link the band. And WAH-LAH! It should be good to go! Then the next time you wanna go to Disneyland instead, you’ll do the "Forget This Device" method via your phone's Bluetooth settings again to pair it back with the Disneyland App. “The band should remain stored on your list of MagicBands within both apps.”

👋 then 😏
The problem I have with these videos is that they seem to be geared towards frequent Disney travelers. I’ve never been and trying to learn 😢 everything being said is like a foreign language
I need to go back but I need a video on how to book a delta business class ticket for the cost of a budget airline
I'm going Friday inshallah
Do you think it’s better to try VQ or Genie + LL to get Tiana?
definitely Lightning Lane. but if you have two adults in your party, at 7 am one of you can try for the VQ on their phone while the other tries to get the LL on their phone
I've been told that the People Mover is not handicapped accessible.
Not true, you can get a wheel chair mover :)
@@sarahisoffthewall yup; stopped for me
@@sarahisoffthewall Thanks
The pretty woman reference 😏
I’ll never get over that movie 💖
Is there a place in the Magic Kingdom, or Disney World rather, to get some strawberry shortcake?
Ooooh - I like going to Trail’s End over in Fort Wilderness for some strawberry shortcake! Hoop Dee Doo serves shortcake at the end of their meal, too - but that’s pretty expensive if you’re just looking for dessert. The one’s at Trail’s End will only cost ya around $6!
@dfbbreea Thank you! Sounds like Trail's End is the place. I'll certainly keep it in mind. Wish I didn't have to wait over 3 years, but saving takes time. Thank you again for this channel. It's definitely a game changer for planning 😊
Stop sharing all of secrets!
😬😬😬
- Always visit Tom Sawers Island.
- Never go on the train (super boring. It has nothing on the Disneyland Railroad)
- Utilize the splash zones (Casey Jr. and the Tiki totem pole)
- Alway, ALWAYS, say "thank you" to the cast members! Especially the custodians!!!
I feel like Magic Kingdom’s railroad is severely lacking in the dinosaur diorama department. (Disneyland has spoiled me - hehe)
7 dwarfs
Completely disagree with this tired narrative that BOG has bad food. It's our favorite restaurant at wdw, it's excellent every single time. The escargot is the best dish I have eve had on property. The filet beat jiko. Enough already of spreading misinformation. All these disney experts love and hate the same 10 places. Eat them for yourself and make your own decision.
Bathrooms? Where’s the toilet?
Definitely not snacks to do in magic kingdom
First!!

Virtual queue is the worst idea ever
ILL and you skip the lengthier line and worry free time selected
I like waking up early in the morning, but an easy morning. Not stressing and readying myself like if I was Clint Eastwood in Good Bad and Ugly to refresh and click on the queue 7 AM on the millisecond dot
I think virtual queues are great. I would much rather do that than wait in a multiple hour long line. Not sure what the beef is with them, it literally saves you time.
@@ES-fj7uc I guess. It’s just the stressful morning 💀
@ES-fj7uc unless I don't get a return time then I don't get to ride at all.
Yes… boycott that’s what to do
You have alot of information, BUT to much to remember and you talk FAST . We haven't been here in 15 yrs!!!!
NARRATOR: I love ya…but watch the horrifically annoying vocal-fry!
Too expensive, too crowded, too many rides closed, too dirty. Disney has really gone down hill.
What ever you do don't buy their shares ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
After purchasing a park ticket, I will never purchase Genie+ or LL just another timid to get your money.
just to let you know; we have always waited for Frozen for at least 1 hour in regular line. For my birthday we bought both Genie and ILL. We WALKED onto boat Non stop from entering attraction, passing at least 100+ guests waiting. So DO NOT say not worth it. Also did same for Test Track, Land, and all the others in Epcot. Up to the individual.
The only lands open during Early Entry are Fantasyland and Tomorrowland??
