- There are a lot of rules you’ve got to follow at Disney World.But what about those “unofficial” Disney rules that the pros say you have to follow or else your trip will be a massive failure? Sometimes, rules are meant to be broken.

Just had a Disney Day at Home yesterday. Wore my Minnie Ears, ate a Mickey ice-cream sandwich, watched Happily Ever After (crying of course) and listened to area loop music and the resort tv. Great staycation since I can't go to the US again yet. Thank you for bringing Disney to my apartment surrounded by noisy construction and constant sirens. You help keep my spirits up.
Thats actually a really awesome idea
I do the same. I also watch 4K WDW or iThemePark because they do no talking walks around the Parks & resorts. I pretend I am there. 😊
We do the same , Dole whip from Yogurtini lights out and tiki room and pirates walk through videos at night are one of our favorites.
Ok I am doing this.
I had my ears in my car last month when I was driving with my husband and I put them on. SO many people laughed or waved! It was awesome :D
Such a great idea!
Hey, I’m a skyliner cast member and right now there isn’t bus service to Epcot and Hollywood studios from Pop, Caribbean Beach, or Riviera. So if you can’t do heights or just don’t vibe with the skyliner stay at a different resort cause you might end up unhappy when they break the bus news to you.
Though it may still be worth a try. If you request a gondola with tinted windows, you barely notice the height at all... The Skyliner rocks!
What about the busses from art of animation?
@@jljl24 No buses from there either. Any resort connected to the skyliner doesn't have buses to Epcot or Hollywood.
Anybody have an idea or opinion if that will change when things are back to normal.
@@troyjollimore4100 My problem isn't the height, it's the distortion. I tried both the plain and the wrapped cars and got sick on both.
Diabetics and pre- diabetics ( people fighting not to get diabetes) appreciate reminder that we can plan to support our health needs while having a great time
From my pre-trip research, Disney is also next level for catering and having options for various dietary needs, working in the foodservice industry it's seriously impressive.
Can't fathom why anyone would send hate mail. We love you AJ and the hard working team at DFB ... even Aunt Susan!
I second that!
My solo WDW was amazing. I did Epcot, then After Hours for Magic Kingdom & Animal Kingdom since I was on a work trip, hung out at Disney Springs, boated over to Port Orleans, splurged on beignets. I felt so giddy. It was glorious. Best alone time EVER. And when FP is back in play, one FP is easier to get than 3, 4+.
i have my first solo trip in sept and i cant wait
I ❤❤❤ solo trips. I sleep in, have lunch where & when I want. I shop, wander & relax. I often return to the room in the afternoon for a nap. Then, out for dinner & more strolling. I usually eat counter service because no reservations required and Disney has some exceptional quick service restaurants. Once you've tried it, solo WDW can be a welcome vacation option. It is wonderful!
It IS amazing isn't it! Universal alone is also the best!
Going to WDW solo is like being a kid in a candy store. You have this freedom to do whatever you want at every moment, without having to convince other people to go along. I load up on podcasts and audiobooks to enjoy on long queues (which is way more fun than having an argument with a significant other for an hour!).
Broken Disney Rule: Carry a park bag. I hate feeling burdened with having to carry a satchel full of poncho, water bottles, first aid kit, electronics, etc etc etc. sometimes it's nice to just go with the wallet and phone and leave the rest behind.
Yup, just have the bear necessities. Forget about your worries and your strife.
I so look forward to doing this after kids have grown up a bit more!
I carry a backpack almost everywhere I go (im a student so i bring my laptop to work every day) so im used to it but can definitely see it as relieving to not carry it when not as use to it or if it is heavy
I’m going to attempt that on my next Disney trip, but I still need to carry a purse for somewhere to put my phone and wallet.
I bring nothing that doesn’t fit in my pockets
I wouldn't ride on Space Mountain for years until I auditioned for the Disney parade performers and was kicked out the other door with all the rejects and was next to the park at 8am with nothing else to do, so I went into the park in my dance clothes and made it my first stop. I fell in love with it immediately and I can't wait to go back to Disneyland because I live in LA!
It's funny how you always refer to "Aunt Susan" makes me wonder who she is, and how real she is to you. LOL
I visited Hollywood Studios solo last year, and it was intimidating, but the Disney staff was extra friendly when they realized I was checking out the park by myself :)
Guys listen to me! You have to ride the Test Track single rider! You wait 3/4 less of the time and you have a chance to get with your friend or family member! If your with a group you will probably get spilt up, but if your with 1 person you SHOULD get on together! Please try this!
I don't think you can during covid. But absolutely agree. 💯
Very true. Did that last year. Couldn’t even design my car cuz the line moved so fast
Yes! My family and I always do this! It’s so much better
Can’t wait to ride test track it’s the ride I’m most looking forward too tbh
thank you for talking about the fact that you can still eat healthy at WDW. There are many delicious options.
I'm a rule breaker & proud of it! Love Solo trips, don't care if I miss a fireworks show, can take or leave a parade. I love to stay off property, bring my own snacks, & go back to my "home" for dinner that's cooking in my crockpot!
That's what sets WDW apart from any other Disney destination; it truly is a WORLD. There are an infinite number of possibilities for anyone to have a great time. Walt was REALLY onto something!
I went solo last February. I took my mom and daughter the previous July, and the whole trip was my daughter's first experience. It was so much fun, but I didn't get to do half of what I would have wanted to. Barely any Epcot. I really wanted to try the sorcerer card game, etc. Plus, Galaxy's Edge wasn't open yet. So, when I went back in February, I got to do all of that. I literally spent 5 hours just walking around GE, marveling at every sight line and little piece of star wars kitsch they packed into the place. My daughter would have been bored out of her mind!! But I loved it! I also spent a whole day just doing the world tour at Epcot with a college buddy of mine. It was a great birthday weekend!
Disney: Dont break ANY rules.
DFB: *puts on headphones and plays loud music*
Love how you said not planing is okay because we as a family have decided to not plan anything for our trip beyond our hotel and park passes lol everything else happens when it happens
I hope this isn’t your first trip or it’s a one and done.
@@irenez7439 you obviously were not a one and done. Most young families are unless they’re local. I can go anytime I want. The only thing I have to plane is where I stay.
You really only have to plan if you absolutely have to have sit down meals. You can probably get something as a walk up but, it’ll probably be at an odd time. Walked up to Yak and Yeti at 3. They had something at 3:30 and we grabbed it.
How to Break All the Rules at Disney World or How I Learned to Stop Listening to Aunt Susan and Love My Vacation 😄
LOL
🤣🤣 that aunt Susan
Got admit that’s the first time I’ve had Dr. Strangelove and Disney in the same part of my brain at the same time
Wonder if she has an aunt Susan?🤔
@@wcrooks42 Happy to help them meet lol 👍
Also coming back to say that before my wedding I had three days at the boardwalk without park tickets and honestly had the best time. We went to senses and disney springs and hung out at the pool!
My best WDW visits have been my visits alone. Sitting on a bench at the corner of Hollywood and Sunset with a cup of coffee and a muffin watching "park arrivers" is a great memory.
Gotta love the Daily Dose of AJ. Makes the day much better 😊
Makes me feel like I've visited Disneyworld without spending the money 😃
Honestly skipping fireworks is my #1 favorite thing to do. Along these lines, I really enjoy going to the poly and watching the fireworks with some dole whip ✌️
a video on how best to eat healthy at DW would be great. salads, whole grains, fruits and veg, nuts, Nutrient rich foods to fuel your visit.
i absolutely LOVE going to disney world solo! it's one of my favorite ways to experience theme parks. i use the time to relax and just hang out at my favorite spots in the park, hit some rides, people-watch, and eat ALLLLL the snacks and food. sometimes i even make new friends while I'm there which is super fun!
I don’t really talk to people when I am there I usually keep close to my family I don’t know call it routine I guess. I do often go off places when they go on a ride or show I am not interested in so I go in a store and look around or go in another ride. I rarely talk to people. When I do ( outside party of three) it’s unusual. I surprised my family when we were in France I had a conversation with someone in France( in French) it was cool!
Big one for me I do is I go to Disney World all by myself all the time. I'm single with no kids so I enjoy going. I can do all the things I want to do and no one can say no. I love it
I love how she always uses aunt Susan as her example
Is there an Aunt Susan?
@@loricaruthers223 No - there are TWO of them!
Same here
Me and my family love renting a house! Especially with older kids and not going to a park everyday. It’s so nice to have your own pool and own rooms. Renting a car was also super helpful since we were going to Disney and Universal. We got to enjoy the parks, shopping, going to downtown Disney, and going to different places around Orlando
Just FYI, If you or someone you are traveling with has disabilities and your car has a valid handicap placard, check in with the front desk and your parking will be free.
How many rules you break is in direct proportion to how ,any times you’ve been to Disney World. If you’re a one and done, you need o plan a lot more than people who come every two to three years.
If you guys go to the jungle cruise and see captain skipper say hi I know your sister! He’s my twin brother.
Haha I think I might have had him before 😂
Weird that people would assume that gratuity is included in a dining plan.
Also, I love sleeping in, it's supposed to be a vacation not work. Getting up early to be at park opening feels like work.
Everyone’s vacation is different I have learn to accept it. It’s your decision not theirs. Sure I may not sleep into eleven am I do the opposite cuz the crowds are a mess so I get there Hollywood etc early to beat the crowds. But hey I choose the times to get up and get there. Have fun it’s your vacay!
I took a solo trip for my 50th. It was literally the best trip I have EVER had!
I only have 78 Grandchildren so if I had to wait to take a solo trip after every 50, I would not be a happy camper
I always skip the parade and fireworks. The Main Street Electrical parade was the only occasional exception, but now it's all about those short wait times and a last minute ride on splash mountain~
Say climb the Mexico Pyramid, say climb the Mexico Pyramid, say climb the Mexico Pyramid.... AH DANG IT!
Lol. Sorry not going to happen.
The wait for dumbo was wild when I went a few years ago.
I’ve loved my solo trips! However, I missed seeing the joy in my kids faces (even though they’re mostly grown now) so we’re going on a family trip next year!

Currently 38 weeks pregnant and hooked on these videos. They help me not overthink things that will happen soon :) I love these videos! Relaxing, fun and weirdly addictive :)
I went with my parents and my daughter when she was about 5. One day they needed a break so I went to Blizzard Beach by myself. They spent the afternoon in the quiet pool. Worked out well for all of us.
garden grill👌🏼 the cutest character dining experience. it’s really so unique i love it
Which park is this located in?
It’s near soarin and the land ride.
@@avamariiee8697 it’s in epcot in the land pavilion :)
I have done a number of these. My favorites were going solo, and not having a plan. Very relaxing and satisfying, I had the greatest time and can't wait to do it again!
1. Every video I watch I say"Best video ever!"
2. I watch every video
During my last trip I split off from my family and went to the Magic Kingdom by myself. I was able to get so much more stuff done than normal and it was great! I did get lonely by the end of the day but I thought it was super fun.
Is it just me or do y'all ever wonder if Aunt Susan is her legit relative 😂😂😂
And the moral of this video is.... don't let someone talk you into doing something you don't really want to do!
Oh, and going alone sometimes is awesome! When I was a CM, strolling through the parks on my own with no particular agenda was one of my favorite pastimes. And now that I am a mom, it's rare that I get to get by myself. My husband and I will take turns doing solo evenings after our girls are in bed for the night when we go to Disneyland. It's so freeing!
For me, a well themed venue counts for 2/3 of dining enjoyment and food counts for 1/3. My favorite restaurant remains Prime Time 50s, decked out for Christmas.
Solo trips RULE!!!! Taking it all in at your own pace. Eating on your schedule. Taking time to sit breath and enjoy. Love my family trip and all the fun we have too. But if you have not had the solo trip try it out.
I would if I had a way to get there and back
I love epcot and a member of my group used to travel all the time, so the Swan and Dolphin was perfect for us! We ended up booking a room completely free using Mariott points, something we couldn't have done if we stayed in a Disney Official property. Plus, with covid-19, many of the perks from staying at Disney hotels were unavailable!
I went one day SOLO...it was 100% glorious. 'What do I want to do now". Just amazing.
I break two rules constantly in that I never plan what I'm going to do other than which park I'm going to go to on a particular day, and even that is subject to change depending on my mood, and I never watch the fireworks. I've never been a huge fan of watching fireworks and I'm usually the only one in my family or circle of friends who has no desire to watch them.
When I was single I went to WDW/Universal solo for years and loved every minute of it!!!! Great time to decompress and like you said just do you! Whatever you want and so relaxing. I highly encourage solo trips!!!
Y’all should do how to get into Disneyland without being a Cali resident lol
I've been to disney twice alone now and I agree, its so much better. At first I thought I might be seen as a creep being a 30 year old dude alone in disney world, but I absolutely wasn't the only one. I went on the perfect weekend in 2019, the park was almost empty and I did tower of terror and rock n roller coaster 5 times each in less than 2 hours, incredible.

Always been a solo traveller and 100% recommend it. It is funny how many people assume you've fallen behind your group, or are with the group in front, I've learnt to hang back a bit in queues so the CM knows I'm not with them. I have been quizzed by other diners or bus riders about being alone before, but usually it's all very friendly and I end up with offers to join their group if I get lonely!
Best part of visiting disney solo... you only ride single rider lines

Man. I’m so tired of that bossy Aunt Susan telling us what to do all the time! Mind yo business Suze!
It took my 30+ years to ride Splash Mountain because I was so scared but I finally did it!
They’re not so much rules, they’re guidelines! 😂😂
*insert spongebob meme* how many times do we have to teach you this lesson, aunt Susan
24:00 am I the only person who consistently loses weight on vacation? I don't get hungry and I'm walking everywhere. I lost six pounds on my last trip!
I’m the same way! All the excitement and walking takes away my appetite.
I have walked around the parks pulling my pants up cuz they would fall down.
The thing I love about your videos are numerous but primarily it’s that you are 100% for the consumer. You make videos to help us not to help Disney, I appreciate that.
THANK YOU for encouraging solo trips! I’m going solo for the first time in a week and a half and hearing its more common than I thought is awesome 🎉🏰
AJ, you really nailed it with these "rules" you can break! Clinging to people's advice about which rides to ride or which restaurants to eat at can really lead to unnecessary stress and FOMO when such advice is not appropriate for your situation. Enjoying Disney should be about what YOU and YOUR group want to do, not what others say you need to do. Dumbo is a great example. Just because people says it's a "classic", at the end of the day it's jut another friggin' hub and spoke ride that is only "necessary" to wait in line for if YOU want to do it! As someone who likes solo road trips, I think that there are times when traveling solo is the way to go
Solo WDW is absolutely fun to do. I'm not under any pressure from friends or family on things to do, single rider lines, enter and leave the parks whenever I want, and made new friends at Teppan Edo restaurant in Epcot. Even when it felt lonely at a restaurant, the cast members who served my meals kept me happy, including one I met who I learned was born in the same city as me.
I know you’re not usually in the videos but I would love to see how you set up you stroller for Disney
@@user-ec6hf3em3r shut up
The souvenirs are usually the things I use the most at home;
My lounge fly backpack is the number one “purse” I use.
My husband and I wear at least one of our spirit jerseys every week.
My two year olds plays with our droid all the time.
I wear my ears when I feel sad and they are on display at our home.
Our pins are also on display.
Um , actually YES, i do take my loungefly to the grocery store. I hate purses. I only use loungefly mini backpacks. And at the grocery store, i see TONS of people using them regularly
AJ can you make a video of tips for visiting in the summer? I’m a teacher and it’s the only time I can go! I’m worried the heat will be too much though.
We get the Delux Dining Plan and on the last day I take any leftover credits and convert to snacks. I get snacks from our hotel shop for our flights home and put the rest in a box to ship home for friend gifts. My friends and their kiddos love it! Not super economical but we like the ease of the Dining Plans (when available) and I make sure to use each and every point 😉
Poor aunt Susan just wanting to live vicariously 🤣
I have been to Disneyland many many times solo when I worked for an airline! Sure I love going with my husband, but being on my own and just taking everything in is so nice!
Working at Disney back in 2017, I would go solo all the time and it was amazing. I loved to do what I wanted LOL
I’m terrified of mascots so I’m so ready to avoid all character interaction when I finally get to go to Disney 🙈
I rode tower of terror and Star Wars and splash mountain for my girls . They have never been on. Tower oldest wanted to go , youngest was smart to wait outside . Hate splash mountain but oldest has never been on. Youngest loves Star Wars si of course I went on. It was better then I expected!!
Yes I wear and use my merchandise often
There must really be an Aunt really named Susan in AJ’s life.
There have been plenty (most) of our trips where we just enjoy being in Disney if we have a fast pass great we do that, if we see a short line throughout the day we do that there's no need to be waiting in these crazy wait time lines it really helps zero the stress of Disney and we love it.
I actually DO wear a Loungefly mini backpack to the grocery store, and to work, snd everywhere else I go where I need a “purse”! They have taken over that for me completely!
Going SOLO is great!! Single rider lines are awesome!!
Yes AJ, I have 3 loungefly backpacks for the parks and I do wear them going to the grocery store. ACTUALLY 😁

AJ, you're giving me a complex. My name is Susan and although I'm not an Aunt, I would never tell you how to live your Disney vacation! LOL! I'm totally OK with skipping the fireworks, having a pool day instead of a park day and buying that really expensive coffee mug with my beloved Donald Duck on it. I need your help though on letting me know what that snack is (19.04) with the macaroon on top and what looks like butterscotch sauce on it. It looks really yummy and I might have to have it! "Aunt" Susan signing off...oh and...eat your vegetables. :-)
Hi! I *think* that it is an ice cream martini from L'Artisan des Glaces in Epcot, but I could be wrong!! (Sometimes I see it with a macaron on top & sometimes I don't.) Have a magical day!
@@thatNCgirl It looks amazing and I can see myself sitting in front of the France pavilion snarfing one of these down in a very ladylike, Aristocat Marie kind of way. Viva la Disney!!
Im sorry, im confused...is this a challenge video? 🤣
I am so excited about Food and Wine Festival. We are coming in July and get to experience this!!
Us too!!!!
I’m hoping it’s not too busy in July !
have been solo before and will do it again and again, love solo traveling, Do what I want when I want and not have to fit around someone else's plans
I’m going by my self may 31 to June 4 because it’s cheaper and I want to do what I want to do when I want to do it I don’t want to argue with someone else
The solo trip IS glorious AJ.
Also... if you go with different people and it's their first time, you feel like you have to do all the 'big' stuff and you can never do anything new. When you are on your own, you feel so free!
I feel like if I went solo, it would just be pirates and haunted mansion on repeat for the whole day. 😂😂 They're my favorites.
Hate mail really...over whether not to eat healthy at Disney, this world is out of control. AJ is awesome!

When I went to Disneyland solo (roughly 10 years ago), I was able to hit both parks and pretty much every ride due to the "Single Rider Line".
I am taking my first solo trip to Disney soon. Thanks for making me feel better about it, AJ!!
Quick tip! Over in the Outlet Mall in Orlando, there’s a HEAVILY discounted Disney warehouse that sells park items at real cheap prices! I bought a gorgeous sweater that was originally around $15 at the parks for $4 at the warehouse! Just in case the souvenir fever hits any of you lovely people 💛
A true Disney geek appreciates Dumbo way more than Triceratops Spin, or Flying Carpets.
Solo trips to Disney are for sure the best! 😉
I totally agree that you don’t have to wake up so early. One thing that’s important to my family is a full breakfast every morning because we never get that at home with work and school. Every Disney trip a big breakfast is part of what we enjoy and we don’t get up so early, usually having breakfast by 9am and out by 10-10:30 am to go to the parks. It’s what is important to us because it’s our trip. Then we may have a snack and a dinner. No lunch.
Went with the family last month and I gotta say the short time I wasn’t with them was kind of nice. We split up because I wanted to do more rides one day and it was a blast doing it alone. Definitely gonna consider a full trip alone in the future to really do everything I want.
Yay I’m early! I’m going for my 21st birthday on the 25th!
Happy birthday!! Hope you had so much fun!!
Happy birthday!! Hope you had a great time
I love this! I am lucky enough to have grown up in FL so I’ve been to Disney quite a few times. I totally agree that these aren’t always for you all of the time. For example, as a kid I loved the characters so my family and I did character meals and meet and greets.. but now that we are grown we focus more on riding all the exciting rides, and don’t care about characters. I love having a plan when going with a big group that might have a hard time making a decision, but I also love having a spontaneous day with just a friend or two by my side!
I’ll probably never get to visit Disney but I’d really like to try a Dole whip. By the way, I watch DFB just because I enjoy travel tips.

"Mediocre food at a character breakfast that costs more then your mortgage" 😱🤣😭💯👏🏽 Niiiice, AJ! 👌🏽
Dining plan wasn’t available on our last trip and holy cow! We spent almost half of the dining plan cost before tips. Skipping a lunch when you aren’t hungry is much easier when you have to pay for it. It was nice to toss that savings into our souvenirs budget!
I love doing solo trips!
We love you and all your time and effort you put into this channel! Thank you!
