2021 Disney World Planning Tips: What I Wish I'd Known Before I Went To Disney World!

[@BariTaleCoaching]

What tips would you want to know before you go?!

[@pa5666]

I love how upbeat you are! Thank you so much for the extra tips! 😀

[@BariTaleCoaching]

It's my pleasure! I hope this helps!

[@jeanettekopp9261]

thanks for the mobile ordering food I was reading about that.

[@BariTaleCoaching]

It's one of my favorite parts now because it lets us plan throughout the day!

[@melpeppler5660]

Love your videos. Mind sharing (if you can remember) what is on your eyes? That shadow is amazing on you!

[@BariTaleCoaching]

Oh my gosh, thank you so much! I know this was a Milani eyeshadow and I JUST broke the pallet on my last trip to Disney (dropped it in the bathroom!). HUDA makes a nude sparkle one, too!

[@melpeppler5660]

@@BariTaleCoaching Thank you so much! And ugh the worst! RIP eyeshadow pallet :(

[@elainebower8776]

I agree on feeling full. I have made more than 30 trips to WDW. I have never had a trip that felt as crowded as our trip the week December 5, 2021. It was supposed to be at level 3-4. It felt like a 8 or 9,

[@BariTaleCoaching]

RIGHT?! What the heck? I should mentally prepare myself for higher volumes of crowds.

[@marleyelizabethgronfors6937]

Thank you for the tips I go to Disney a lot and I thought I knew a lot but because of Covid and borders being closed I couldn’t go but since Covid I need tips thank you for the help

[@BariTaleCoaching]

My pleasure! I filmed a video for next week that's all about 2022 updates!

[@meredithjanosco3814]

I have just found you and will be heading to WDW in just a few short weeks yay! You had mentioned a video about what you pack to carry in the park which I am curious about! Can you link me to that video?? Thanks! Love your energy!! Thanks so much Meredith from Maine!!

[@BariTaleCoaching]

Hi Meredith! What part of Maine?! I went to school in Farmington! Here is the packing video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hWbCgHiXgNCebqc

[@elainebower8776]

I would like to know about the Skyliner === where to get on it, where to ride it to, etc. I have tried to get reservations to Topolino's --- no luck at all.

[@BariTaleCoaching]

When is your trip? We get on the Skyliner usually at EPCOT and take it to different resorts (like Bar Riva at the Riviera!). It's such a gorgeous ride!

[@Jesusreignslovesandlives4eva]

I know someone may have asked this question but what is the best hotel to stay with children? Thanks

[@BariTaleCoaching]

Okay so it depends on how much you want to spend. I LOVE Art of Animation as a Value but always prefer a one bedroom with kiddos somewhere on the monorail loop or at The Riviera!

[@amandatenney5302]

I love to plan our Disney trips! We just went March 2021 and I am already planning our next trip for 2023. I learned a lot with this trip.

[@BariTaleCoaching]

Isn't it amazing what you learn when you go?!

[@comeplaywithmermaidfun980]

If I stay hotels in disney can have delivery from fast food like pizza hut? And other diffrent restaursnt from outside

[@BariTaleCoaching]

It depends on the restaurant. If you use an app like DoorDash, yes! You'll just have to come down to the desk to get it when it arrives.

[@jeanettekopp9261]

is April a good time to go. im a big time planner and I don't want to be there during spring break. I have booked a hotel for April 8thto April 15th?

[@BariTaleCoaching]

April CAN be a good time to go. Look for when Easter falls because if Easter is near April 8th, it's going to be BUSY! If not, you're probably in the clear!

[@aquamom14]

Hello, thanks for the tips but you didn’t mention reservations for rides and restaurants. Did you have any issues being so many places have limited capacity?

[@BariTaleCoaching]

So, currently, there aren't reservations for rides, but it's coming (Disney Genie was announced this past week!). Disney World has LONG lines and without FastPass, you definitely have to prioritize and be there 1 hour before the park opens to get what you want if they are big ticket attractions! We didn't eat indoors very often which meant we did several counter service meals, a little unlike our normal trips. We didn't have an issue booking dining reservations, but keep an eye on when these are due because Disney changed the reservation requests!

[@aquamom14]

@@BariTaleCoaching thank you so much!!

[@aquamom14]

We leave in 3 weeks😊

[@KhalaMarande]

I am taking my family to Disney for the first time this year. My children are one, five and seven. Any tips for taking toddlers?

[@BariTaleCoaching]

Khala, YES SO MANY! Ok, so I have a bunch of videos coming out but you're going to need Genie+ for sure. With that many littles, you won't want to stand in line for attractions that go SO fast. Avoid Magic Kingdom on the weekends; it's always busier! Did you book dining yet?

[@ThePiplum]

I would like to know more about how to book a vacation to WDW as a first timer and discounts? Do you talk to Disney personnel on the phone to book it or do you do it via online on your own?

[@BariTaleCoaching]

Hi! So we don't use Disney travel agents because of all the practice we have booking trips, BUT I do have some good recommendations if you want them. Disney offers SOME discounts, but it depends on the time of year and if you are a Florida resident/AP holder. I would recommend reaching out to a travel agent online. Do you want the name of my fave?

[@aher01]

What app are u able to look at bus capacity? And mobile ordering? We are traveling with severe family members and want to.make sure we dont have any problems. Any tip u can give a big family traveling would be great! Thanks

[@BariTaleCoaching]

So on the My Disney Experience app, you can look at the bus timings when you're on the property. There are also screens at every bus station at Disney hotels! Mobile ordering is also done through the same app. It's a one stop shop! When are you traveling? My best advice would be to get SUPER organized before you go and book as many things in advance (like dining) as you can. Big parties are always going to have to wait longer, so the more dining reservations you can book before you travel, the better! Prioritize the attractions you want to do because there is currently no FastPass and be at rope drop!

[@karlareyes3997]

We are going next week and I have no clue on how we are going to eat lol when you say mobile order how does that work?

[@BariTaleCoaching]

Are you there now?! Mobile ordering is done on the app. You can search by location and availability! It's easy and SUPER convenient (especially when you have kids!).

[@katiefriend8431]

We are driving…parking tips and is there really no transportation from parking to the park entrance? Thanks!

[@BariTaleCoaching]

Hi Katie - Ok, so the parking in Disneyland is different than Disney World because there are parking garages rather than lots. Currently, there isn't ANY transportation from the garage to the park, so it's a pretty lengthy walk. Be there are opening or a little before!

[@sarakaulitz4731]

I love your eyelashes! Which mascara are you wearing?

[@BariTaleCoaching]

Hi Sara! I LOVE the L'Oreal Lash Paradise mascara (NOT the waterproof one) because it looks like high end but costs $8!

[@alexandriadanysh7930]

The Amazon Now app has a notification that pops up when you download it saying they are moving to combine with just the Amazon app starting August 30th 😕

[@BariTaleCoaching]

So they'll still do Amazon Prime Now, but just with the Amazon platform?

[@caseypeeples342]

I love your shirt! Please tell me where you got it.

[@BariTaleCoaching]

TARGET (of course!)!

[@jesusreigns11]

I have two girls 6&7. How would I find out what their “main attraction” might be? Is there a list of rides somewhere or a map? I would love a map. Lol

[@BariTaleCoaching]

YES! So Google Disney Parks maps and you’ll find all 4. Make sure they are up to date! You can also watch ride through videos for the bigger and more popular rides on KZbin!

[@rctcsoccer2611]

Unfortunately I cannot watch the rest of your video right now ... My 6 year old (that doesn't know about our WDW trip next week) just joined me. What I am trying to figure out is ... are there any ways to reserve rides ahead of time each day? I know about the virtual queue for Rise of the Resistance. I also know Fast Passes are currently not available.

[@bunniesbunniesbunnie]

Not right now. You're just in stand-by lines. Unless there is a disability in your party, you're stuck.

[@BariTaleCoaching]

Oh my gosh have so much fun! As of today, FastPasses aren't open yet (my guess is that they are coming back with increased capacity). Make sure you make a list of what your kiddo wants to do and be at the parks 30 minutes BEFORE rope drop because you can get in! That way you can prioritize the MUST rides first.

[@jimmilton9916]

unrelated to disney, what is your skin care routine? amazing.

[@BariTaleCoaching]

Hey! I'm actually putting a Reel together on Instagram about this because I get messaged a lot about it! It's actually really simple, but I just started incorporating a gua sha!

[@MelickAdventures]

Awesome tips!

[@BariTaleCoaching]

Glad you think so!

[@heatherhotchkiss1849]

[@BariTaleCoaching]

Oh no, Heather! Such a sad face!
