    Hey AJ! Could you do a "what's in my bag" essential video? Like what do you take with you to the park or how to avoid over packing.

    Never EVER travel Spirit Airlines. I don't care if they pay you to fly with them. You have been warned.

    Pack-able rain jacket or poncho, and planning for the indoor things mostly only during rain times is always top-tier advice. Hit all the outdoors first!

    One tip on Car Rentals. Get a Visa or Master Card that has travel benefits. The one we have has rental car insurance so we never pay extra for insurance. Some cover flight insurance too, as well as paying for the TSA Pre application fee. Another tip is to join the car company's frequent user program which is usually free. I never prepay for a car and get the same price. I usually reserve a car as soon as we decide on trip dates and then watch for price drops from time to time. I found the price usually drops abut 4 weeks before my trip date. ie.. A car I reserved last summer for the first week of December dropped from $350 to $250 about 4 weeks before my trip. Last tip.. If you are at the airport and your flight is delayed. Get in line with the other 150 people but call their 800 number and explain the situation. Doing this has given me flight choices I never would have had if I waited until everyone in front of me made their choices. I've even called when in a plane, stuck at the gate knowing I was going to miss my connection. Hope this helps..

    AJ’s voice is so nostalgic to me. From when I planned my first trip in 2019…😢

    Think about that folks-- family of 4 with the Christmas party and a sit down dinner-- $1000 for a 5 hour experience. Ask yourself before you book that. Is less than a half a day (night) in Disney worth $200 an hour? Only you know if that experience is worth it.

    I am staying at Swan and Dolphin in January and given the exorbitant prices of the on-property Disney resorts these days, this will be my go-to resort for the foreseeable future. As a Marriott employee I can apply my associate discount and it’s saving me a lot of $! And you can’t beat that location! Walking distance from two parks + boat and skyliner access? I’m sold.

    I live in Dallas and I'm always looking for cheap or budget friendly ways to go places. I travel a lot and I wish I checked out the specials for my Disney trip I have reserved for October of next year. I forgot to check out special rates. Thanks for sharing the information. I learn something new every time I watch the videos.

    I would’ve priced Long Beach and John Wayne/Orange County for the CA example, and also Ontario International.

    Don't know if I'll ever make it out to Disney World (I'm in the UK) but I still binge your videos! They're so amazing, and your voice is just so well suited to them!

    When you watch this then get a notification your flight times have all been changed and it screws up all of your shuttle reservations and tentative park day schedules 🙃

  • @donlee1308

    I've been watching your channel for over three years now. its very well produced. very in depth as far as all the information you present. one thing i just realized though, is that Disney must really love you guys but....and ill say this without saying it, the real info and what to pay attention for......is between the lines. lol!!!

    Thanks to your channel I re-thought which hotel we were staying at for our next trip decided to reevaluate ended up adding an additional night to our vacation and still came out ahead $700. As a Canadian traveller who has to worry about the exchange rate that’s also a really big difference in savings.

    What about Southwest Airlines? They don't charge for luggage and carry on. Unless you only need a under seat piece for a week.

    We eat 1 table service a day. We have found a late lunch is a great time to take a break and sit, enjoy some great food and atmosphere.

    My most expensive mistake was forgetting a medication at home in Canada. I ended up losing park time, having to find (and pay for) a doctor and having to pay for a week’s worth of an expensive medication that is covered by insurance at home.

    I would like to see a video on the best places in each park to take a mid afternoon break with little ones. Like my niece who is 4.

    With the first point, talking about airplane tickets, it can also be good to activate a vpn, make it seem like your in other country, and then access the booking site because sometimes that can get you a discounted price as well.
