15 Things You Should Always Do in Disney Springs

[@soimproved]

Please start adding chapters so we can easily maneuver to each tip. This is beneficial if we want to skip a tip or rewatch. Thanks

[@GLJosh]

Yes! This 100%👆

[@IngridElizabethLE]

Yes!

[@Alexmary]

Just what I was thinking!

[@Dragonofmaroonvalley]

They do put Chapters on their videos but for longer videos.

[@carnini]

Should add them to all videos over 10 minutes

I actually love that AJ is such an evangelist with hydration.

[@jason854656]

She sounds like that one girl from watch mojo

[@MsV405]

AJ! THANK YOU SO MUCH for telling me about House of Blues! I am a connoisseur of bread pudding and HANDS DOWN, the dessert from there is STELLAR!! I took your advice several years ago and EVERY time I go to either Disney or Universal, I make a special trip just for the bread pudding.

[@stephaniel4679]

I truly miss Disney quest. Wish they would have updated that concept instead of scrapping it for those rainy days.

[@diesel104]

Agreed

[@SH-hg8ks]

One of my fav memories as a kid

[@tropicalxari]

I’m on my Florida trip did magic kingdom Monday and animal kingdom today (Wednesday!) went to Disney springs twice already and probs going tomorrow! It’s so fun ! This resort is also AMAZING!!!

[@birbluv9595]

Here’s a tidbit about Raglan Road. I went solo but wanted to try everything. I ordered the famous soup (delish), the shepherds pie (huge), and the bread-and butter pudding (gigantic.) After a few bites, i just could not eat any more of the wonderful pudding, so i gave it to the couple sitting next to me, who loved it. The entertainment was fantastic. I asked my waiter to put a $20 bill in the musicians’ tip jar, and ended up getting a special visit from two of the dancers with an official Irish dancer sticker! (Even though i really can’t dance at all with my bad ankle!) i had also brought a little goodie bag along in case i could pixie dust someone, and in a long table near me there was a girl celebrating (I think) her 13th birthday. So i went over to give it to her. All in all, a fantastic experience, though i had some stomach trouble later due to overeating!

[@jamesf791]

10:44 Drawn to Life, it is pricey side, believe the cheapest tickets are around $75 per person, they may have changed. My wife and I went last March and we were blown away by how amazing this show is. She has seen most of Cirque de Soleil, and she said this was probably her favorite. It's such a great show.

[@KristinaStutts]

"Chicken strips and fries are just spoons for the sauces." I like your thinking, AJ

[@GLJosh]

Agreed, my family's biggest discussion is "what sauces to get" at Chicken Guy.

[@KristinaStutts]

@GLJosh Agreed. I have to be careful because I have a mayo allergy, but even then, there are so many choices

[@christopherboydandmartinsc9322]

I thought the chicken strips from chicken guy were better than the fried chicken from Homecomin.

[@kdusel1991]

​@@GLJoshnever been to chicken guy or homecomin!! Should I go next time? I've heard nothing but great things!

[@christopherboydandmartinsc9322]

@@kdusel1991 I’d go to another good restaurant at DS for the price of Homecomin. Homecomin isn’t bad, but it certainly isn’t great. Their Mac and cheese was the best thing I had there. Chicken Guy is great; especially for the price. I want to go to Morimoto next time I’m there.

[@GLJosh]

Don't need to worry about 'ride lines'? We tend to rope drop Gideons and there is normally a line. One day Disney will probably offer Individual Lightning Lane for Gideons. We added a day to our Disney Cruise trip to focus on Disney Springs, Eet is very unique is priced well (priced well for a Disney area food).

[@Noone-xf9cm]

Disney doesn’t own or run Gideons…

[@c.9900]

It's a bit alien to me. I've never been to DS when there isn't a line for Gideons.

We use line garage and go on evenings and weekends there is never a wait !😊

[@adyscript]

I keep calling it Downtown Disney, since that was the last time i was there 😅 it’s crazy how much it’s changed. I don’t even remember parking garages, just a massive parking lot where we got lost for an hour trying to find our rental car 😂 You guys do a fantastic job with these videos. Thank you for making them so amazing, i can live vicariously through them, since we probably won’t make it to Disney for a long time

[@maryroberts2099]

I’ll be there for a few hours. It’s a post cruise day trip. What do you suggest to see and do?

[@OliviaYoutubes]

Is it sad that after a Disney Trip I look to see if I’m in the background of any DFB videos 😂😂

[@christopherboydandmartinsc9322]

I was looking as well; I didn’t see myself. lol I went to Mickeys Not So Scary on the 13th, and I was looking around.

[@NeutralTea]

Haha my brother was in a video from another channel that does similar stuff as DFBguide. My sister was watching and found it haha. It's funny cause i'm sure I was to the left leaving a store in that moment and just missed it haha!

[@christopherboydandmartinsc9322]

@@NeutralTea that’s awesome. I was looking for videos that were posted from Mickeys Not So Scary on the 13th, but I couldn’t really tell when they were filmed.

[@karinkasper9944]

We were there for the first night of Jollywood Nights last year, and I looked really closely, lol.

[@NeutralTea]

@christopherboydandmartinsc9322 Yeah true it's tough to tell unless they post the dates during the trip. We were there around July 30th- Aug 2nd.

Aj! I am so excited about the chicken guy opening up here in Dallas but they sure are taking their time! I hope they bring back all the sauces at this location!!!

[@kaylynfillip2250]

I am going to disney next year and I was looking for a packing list type video from yall. The most recent one I could find was from 6 years ago. I know yall talk about what to pack in various other videos but I think yall should do an updated just packing video. Like a whats in my suitcase and in my park bag that is recnt.

This is my husbands KZbin, but I have to tell you we are HUGE Disney fans, started our Honey Moon at Disneyland in 95. Going in 4 days for our 29th. I grew up with Disneyland, I don't take it that seriously and play it by ear most times. I get it, some families have to really plan, but we just go with the flow. Our Almost, 8 year old twin grand daughters love all the crazy stuff. I love your video's, but maybe feature families who grew up in that culture and we wing it! Best vaca ever. New Grandson going to Disneyland next June for the first time, he will be just over a year. Can't wait. Tooooo much stress when we have to plan the whole day. BTW, our one twin sleeps in a queen bed and all those stuffties are lined up just like that. lol Love ya guys!

[@lindseyrobinson5523]

We have those smart garages near us and they can be tricky. If there is a smaller car or motorcycle in the space, it will show available(green) and it is not really. Be cautious when you pull into a parking space.

Does anyone know if orthopedic implants set off security detectors at Disney?

[@holytankadinSabelane]

If they have metal in them yes, but just let the security guard know you have medical implants and it shouldn't be a problem. Lots of people have bone pins, replacement joints, etc they should be able to accommodate you

[@barbarawalsh2875]

It was so much simpler when we went to 1973 and all you needed was a ticket book with the best rides requiring an E ticket. E ticket a name that most of the travelers to Disney today won’t even know what it means. I almost choked when I saw the price of the ears. I remember I have my original black ears with my name on them so does my ex so do my children. And because we went to August, my dad made sure that we all had hats and we still have them and like I said we went in 1973 seven of us flew for $803 round.-round-trip the biggest mistake that we made was that we rented a car because the whole week we were in Disney and you have to remember only the magic kingdom was open. Then Epcot was still being built, but we spent a week there. I don’t think there was anything we didn’t do on our last night. My dad bought a couple of more tickets so that we could go on the carousel while he went into. What was the Disney store then and bought my mom the biggest Mickey Mouse that there was because, as we drove away to go down to Fort Lauderdale to see my grandparents, my mother was crying. Although we never return to Disney as a family, it was always the payoff for my mother when she had to go down to Fort Lauderdale with my dad to take care of my grandparents. I would return to Disney and my married life four times twice just with my husband and twice with my husband and my children. My husband and children traveling together was an absolute disaster. He almost shoved my head into the brick wall outside the Hilton hotel, where we were staying With him for two or three years after that to the best of my knowledge, my children have never returned to Disney? my daughter who went multiple times when she was married, said she would never take her children there because it was too expensive. What did she think it was when her father and I took her. My son has no interest in returning his birthday was totally destroyed by my husband‘s ignorant and outrageous behavior, unfortunately now the name, Disney leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

[@Espo97734]

I love roaming around this place, but I refuse to call it anything other than Downtown Disney.

[@The_Alexandra_B]

We went to Disney Springs on Saturday night a couple weeks ago, parked in the Grapefruit garage and walked right in with no security check. I was flabbergasted. The place was packed wall to wall and I couldn’t believe they weren’t checking anyone coming in on that side.

I dont think people should park at Disney Springs to go to the theme parks. If enough people follow that tip, there wont be enough parking for DS visitors and Disney will start charging to park at Disney Springs, like Universal does when you go to CityWalk.

[@dfbbreea]

Disney Springs doesn’t have direct access to the parks, just the resorts.

[@analogstickler]

​@@dfbbreea it's a little complicated, but people can park at Disney Springs, take a bus to any resort, and then get on a park bus from there. You would lose a bit of time but you wouldn't be paying to park.

[@JazzyLnae]

@@dfbbreea Im aware… the tip on this video was to park at Disney Springs (for free) to get a bus ride to the resort, then take Disney transportation to the parks. My point is that if people follow that “tip”, the they will start charging to park at Disney Springs.

BREAKING NEWS- FILM CREWS SPOTTED AT CASEY’S CORNER AND NEAR CRYSTAL PALACE IN MAGIC KINGDOM

[@whitneypaige744]

Don’t normally comment but saw yours and thought you might want to know why those film crews are there. Usually Disney films various commercials throughout the year at their locations, and don’t want to film guests without their consent for commercials, so people are hired to pretend to go to Disney. My mom texted she and my little brother were on set this morning, and she confirmed it was Disney and there are three film crews at various locations today. (Our family has been in Disney commercials for well over a decade). If you ever want to get into something like that, it’s called Frontrunner Casting Agency. Hours are strange as a heads up, but they are the ones Disney goes to to find the “extras/background talent” when filming commercials and other promotional media. Hope this satisfies the curiosity for why those film crews are most likely there today.

I don't like to critique y'alls work BUT "heads up" does not cover eniugh of a warning for Drawn to Life.

Whole. Show. I knew I wear tear up but I was a mess. HIGHLY RECOMMEND but bring tissues if you get emotional....like a full box...or 5....

[@abbygale4544]

There is only one thing people need to remember to do when visiting any Disney park or shopping area around the those parks....save your money and go somewhere else. The parks are a massive rip off, and the shopping areas like Disney Springs are nothing more than another way for Disney to get the money out of your pocket and into theirs.
