When I worked as a cast member, the biggest thing I learned from observing families is that you need to have water bottles that you refill throughout the day, especially the kiddos. And if your child naps at home, they need to nap at Disney too, especially if you're staying for the nighttime shows. The 3 pm meltdown can be easily avoided if kids (and even some adults) are rested and hydrated.

Dining reservations are so crucial. Way back in 2006 I remember my family was at Epcot and either we didn't have a reservation or our reservation was no longer available (our intended world showcase restaurant had to close unexpectedly I think!). We were SO hungry and tired until the hosts at the Mexico table service place took pity on us and found us a table very last minute among an ocean of people. I think Disney has gotten much better about avoiding situations like that since then. I know this channel doesn't rate it very highly, but tbf it USED to be excellent and I've got a soft spot for it in my heart because of those nameless employees helping kid me and my family from 16 years gone by. Jesus, 16 years 😆

For instance, I didn’t know that most Disney restaurants won’t make a reservation for 12 people, so I had to make reservations in groups of 6.

There are two things Disney could do to make the park pass mess better. They could either sell the passes with the tickets when you order the tickets, or they could stop selling tickets if the passes sell out. There should be no reason for people to get to the gate and be told there are no passes left, if they have a ticket in their hand.

About dining reservations-I would add that with all the flight delays and cancellations lately, don’t make a dining reservation for the day you fly in. That was our only chance to eat at Jiko, so I was eager to just make the reservation. But we missed it because our flight got cancelled and we were on standby from 5am-4pm. We also had our park reservation for MK the next day… the park we most wanted to go to with our little ones. In these times, saving your “must-do” park for later in your trip adds some extra peace of mind. But we at least made it to AKL the day we were supposed to, went to MK the next day, and other than the flight issues, our trip was perfect!

Then there where some issues with some of the rides that have them so photos where not available. We still had a Great time but would have only purchased genie for the two parks.

With shopping and eating we’ll need a break from the heat by then so we plan to exit the park at the International gateway and take the boat round-trip to Hollywood Studios and back to Epcot giving us a nice relaxing break.

OK, we are heading there in May with our two girls 8 and 6 for the first time. My wife and I haven't been since 2010. Would you recommend double stroller rental just to side-step the crankiness and tired legs? And if we do rent one each day, are we stuck with it the entire day, or can we drop it off at a kiosk and pick one up later again if needed? Thirdly, what are necessities to have on-person assuming we may be able to clip to a stroller? I'm thinking string bag with sunscreen, snacks, water, but also don't want to overpack. My fear is not being prepared for when miserable attitudes arise due to heat and tiredness, but at the same time not wanting to carry a heavy load of unnecessary items.

I did NOT use Genie+ when going with a group of 5 that have all been to the parks before and will go again; it would have been expensive and we didn’t need to maximize our rides bc we had 5 park days. I DID use it with a group of 2 when we had only 3 park days and one member had never been to WDW. It made his first experience a fun one full of lots of rides without a big cost for us

According to a response on PlanDisney from April 2022; “In the past, Guests were not able to use FastPasses during the Halloween parties as these were special after-hours events with limited capacity. While it was announced recently that the Halloween parties are returning to the Magic Kingdom Park, whether Disney Genie+ will be available during those hours has not yet been confirmed. I also reached out to a Cast Member via chat through the Help Center online, and they confirmed that we do not know that information quite yet. In this case, I would highly recommend keeping an eye on Disney Parks Blog or the Walt Disney World Resort website as we get closer to the Halloween season. I expect that more information will be released throughout the upcoming months, as that is typically what happens when new events are announced.”

I've been watching these videos more recently because I'll be going to Disney World in September. This will be the first time in around 10 years that I'm going back. I'm really excited, but seeing these tips are only making me nervous/anxious. I know September is considered a great time to go for crowd control, but I have to know, should I still be worried about long lines and heavy crowds? Is Genie+ an absolute essential? And exactly how fast do the virtual queues fill up?
@Katesaprincess2 жыл бұрын
The crowds will most likely be heavy just because there haven’t been many downtimes this year.😅 Genie plus is only useful if you REALLY need to ride a ride. Like you have to buy it as early as you can. The virtual queue fills up pretty quick in the morning most days, but you can try again at 1pm. I’ve never had an instance where I don’t get the queue at 1pm. You can also buy the ride which sells out much less quickly than the free option.
@disregardable2 жыл бұрын
went last September on a Friday and the crowds were awful. I was VERY frustrated, but if I had expected an hour+ long line for every major attraction maybe I'd have had a better day. Also, rope drop. I got there at like 10:30 AM, and that was a mistake.

My best advice is to expect that you are not going to get on everything, so just make a list of you must-dos. If there is a single rider line, definitely take it. You will skip at least 80% of the wait.

My rookie mistake was not doing some long test walks in my shoes before I went. I thought hikers would be ideal but I was in agonizing pain every single day and they didn't have shoes in my size at the parks 🥲 Maybe should have gone to target or used amazon but it's hard to think straight after a week of painful feet. So GOOD SHOES ARE IMPERATIVE.

Rich people don’t have time to waste in such a crowded place. Most of the crowd would be lower middle to higher middle class.

Genie+ only works for me if I start super early and stack rides for later in the day. The two hour wait period is ridiculous.
@eliseg00012 жыл бұрын
The stacking is great if you’re park hopping into MK! I was able to stack several rides for a fun evening

You’re right. I’m tired of DFB shilling for everything Disney.

I was watching a travel vlog from a couple from the UK who did this. They stayed and had a pool day, stacked the big rides for later in the day every two hours and then basically went from one big attraction in HS to another.

Take an afternoon break: it seems obvious, but it always surprises me and my husband when we go and at noon, the heat of the day, the park is the busiest. We leave at lunch, take a swim and nap, and come back . Usually on our way back in we pass a bunch of miserable and overheated families on their way out.

THIS!!! my parents did this with me as a kid and i still do it now. disney is extremely overstimulating for some plus with the heat it can led to preventable meltdowns. taking breaks means you can get more done in a good mood.

Got a trip booked for 7 weeks time and couldn't wait till I started watching all videos and realized what a ball ache Disney have made with the app. I just want to enjoy the weeks and not be fannying about with my phone every few minutes. I'm sure a 7k holiday will be worth it. 🤦

Just got back from WDW a few days ago. And I can happily report that the App is quite user-friendly and, with a little advance planning, I was not in my phone nearly as much as I feared. Even if you’re not a “rope drop” family (we are not), you can wake up a little early, set up your first Genie+ and possibly a ILL, and then go about your day. I’m not a fan of the extra expense for these things, and I REALLY think resort guests should get a break on Genie+. But it was much more manageable and enjoyable than I had feared, and we had a terrific week.

If your kids have a disability, you can use the DAS pass on top of Genie +. Just throwing it out there
