Was not expecting to cry in the first minute of a DFB video.

[@DFBGuide]

Sorry about that! I tried really hard to keep from crying ha ha, but he was a really, really good guy.

[@spepper4719]

I almost cried too! It moved me. Thank you for sharing AJ he is sure a proud papa.

[@Laura-lh6sm]

@@DFBGuide that’s what makes you human and what makes us feel you’re real, not just another shallow influencer that’ll come and go ♥️

[@Laura-lh6sm]

Same! Came here to comment this and found your comment.

[@Tinable]

@@DFBGuide Don't be sorry. It's wonderful you can be real. ♥

[@rb5078]

I’m crying! Congratulations AJ! And I’m so very sorry you lost your dad.

[@DFBGuide]

Thank you so much! He was an awesome guy.

[@mishmosh73]

Right?! I am, too. Had to listen twice because the crying moment did not go away fast enough! AJ, I just want you to know that this channel and your relationship with your dad inspire parents everywhere to embrace that enthusiasm same for their kiddos.

[@tnwhiskey68]

@@DFBGuide Sounds like he was! I had my daughter (4 years old) at 38 and I'm taking her next week. I'm so prepared to act a fool and/or humiliate myself for her entertainment! Sounds like your Dad was the same way and that's awesome he wore that shirt to the parks!

[@Short_Rachel.]

@@DFBGuide sorry about the lose of your dad 😭😔

[@gitakiss5801]

I cried with you just now. He is with Walt talking about the amazing job you are doing

[@robynmoxham4255]

AJ, your love for your dad shines through what you do everyday ❤ He’s watching you from Heaven and smiling ❤💕🙏

[@annacraft8028]

Happy Father’s Day to AJ’s dad! He has so much to be proud of! ❤ love DFB family

[@DFBGuide]

Thank you!

[@Hiddenrose21]

We're coming up to the 2nd anniversary of my Dad dying and I said to my wife that I'll put on a dfb video because that's a safe bet no chance of sadness and I've been out of sorts and teary all day. Immediately proven wrong, sobbed like a baby! So sorry for your loss AJ, I feel you! Beautiful dedication to your dad!

[@InHisService772]

Sorry for your loss 😢

[@chipfranks]

AJ, as a Dad who is VERY proud of my daughters- I can tell you that your Dad would be SO proud of you. I also know that he has never left you, and is watching over you daily and loving you more than you could ever know on the other side. Listening to the first minute of this video, I bet you know that. Congratulations, and God bless you always.

[@nicolem.coomber7448]

Oh your tribute to your dad was so sweet. My dad’s been gone 7 years and we just lost my mom. So sweet to have you dedicate this milestone to him. ❤❤❤

[@bell.videography]

AJ, what a moving tribute to your dad. It was so sweet and sincere, I think it made us all cry! ❤

[@amydoran9987]

Crying listening to your intro. I never miss a video. We are going next month for our annual trip.

[@dfbbreea]

Thanks for being here!

[@DFBGuide]

Thank you!! Have a blast!

[@siveltonsantos1179]

Oh god, to hear her cheerful voice so full of emotion... I could see the tears on her face. He is so proud of you... I'm sure he gave t-shirts to all of the angels above us ❤

[@judibickford5306]

My sympathies on the loss of your Dad, Dearest AJ. I lost my Daddy four years ago this month actually this week also. He's ALWAYS watching you and is VERY PROUD of who you have become!

[@BASykes1701]

I lost my dad in 2022. He was always my biggest cheerleader. I definitely felt that intro! Congrats on the 1M, AJ. Well earned!

[@mcleigh66]

How lovely that your dad left you with some wonderful memories. Truly someone whose memory is a blessing.

[@NeutralTea]

Seeing DFB guide popping up every day makes life so much better and fun!

[@sannie1208]

I cried 😢 AJ your dad is proud of you, your team and what you guys worked for. I'm sure he is proud and smiling from somewhere above!

[@Short_Rachel.]

Too funny with the balloon day care in animal kingdom 🤦🏻‍♀️🤣🤣🤣

[@dfbbreea]

It’s SO CUTE 🎈

[@roberthrobinson9234]

With love and support AJ! We are all proud of you and your team!

[@DFBGuide]

Thank you so, so much, my friend.

[@beautybeatsbydre4380]

Ok AJ making us cry in the first minute. I lost my father figure in 2021 and I felt that so hard. Happy Father’s Day to your dad, he is so proud!

[@PiPeR3738]

I just wanted to say thank you, DFB was essential in my WDW planning. We leave in three days for our magical adventure and my son's 13th birthday

[@dfbbreea]

Thank YOU for being here ❤

[@estelaer]

First of all, I’m so sorry about your dads passing, but I’m so happy that he was a great dad! I can relate to having a great dad. Second of all, I’m 35 and fully potty trained, but I absolutely despise having a toilet flush while I’m using it, so I truly appreciate the post it trick! I’ll start using it this week haha!

[@rekiajohnson9807]

AJ I am watching this video and I am in tears the dedication was absolutely beautiful. I can truly sympathize with you I lost my Dad in 2020 and I truly knew and know how it feels to have them be proud of you!!!!!! Sending hugs, love and prayers your way❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@ericd.9038]

[@peggyknecht5551]

Guys, i used your videos when I was planning my Disney vacation, last December. They were invaluable resource of information.

[@lisaberryman428]

The balloon daycare makes me want to get one for myself, well, just because!!😂

[@leslierogers2447]

I miss my dad too. He never got to meet my amazing daughters. I am going to Disney World this summer and can't wait to make memories.

[@WhatsEvenRealAnymore]

The dad message was so heart warming ❤

[@peteisagoodguy]

Sorry for your loss. I aspire to my kids talking about me like you talked about your father.

[@shaggydog2012]

Much love to you, AJ, and thank you to you and the whole DFB family, including your Dad and his impact. (So glad your parents made you!)

[@kimberlylebrun2934]

So sorry about your dad! You do such a good job keeping us up-to-date with park food and happenings. Thank you for all you do!

Never thought I would cry watching a DFB Video. Sending you so many hugs AJ!

[@jenndpbudgets]

Beautiful tribute to your dad

[@v5314]

You crying made me cry I know exactly how you feel !! Hugsssss May He rest in peace 🙏🏼

[@danamarie2270]

Can always count on you for a dose of reality and magic. Your dad sounds like he was the quintessential Disney Dad…beautiful tribute to mark this huge milestone. Congratulations on 1 million and many many more!

[@Justaspoonfulof_lex]

I sent this to my friend who is coming with me for her first trip without watching it first. She asked why I made her cry. Now I know. Thank you for the magic you make here, AJ ❤

[@peggyknecht5551]

I'm so sorry for your loss, AJ. You are in my thoughts and prayers. I lost my dad in 1988. It was my senior year of high school. I still miss him and talk about him.

[@haleynorth13]

Congrats, AJ on 1M! Beautiful tribute to your father, he'd be so proud! If it does not already exist, it would be awesome to have a dedicated video to the dining packages that include fireworks!

[@jacurin]

So sweet to dedicate to your dad ❤❤ Also, a tip for those wanting to do a split stay: unless things have changed, the 60-day dining reservation will only start 60 days from each separate reservation- you will not be able to reserve dining for the duration of the trip on a split stay, regardless of whether or not it is a consecutive stay. I learned this the last time my husband and I went to Disney World. I was only permitted to make reservations for the first part of the week (on our first hotel stay), and had to make the remaining reservations for the latter portion of our stay (at the second hotel) a few days later. Let’s just say there may or may not have been tears when I discovered this, especially because Space 220 was the main restaurant I wanted to go to, and it was completely booked for the first portion of our trip. Had it not been for a very kind cast member (who booked the dining reservation for us for the last part of our vacation week, after I explained my dilemma), it’s possible we would not have even been able to get in to the restaurant at all. So…yeah. An important tip to be mindful of 😅

[@Matt_Hatt3r]

Aww, AJ! Getting all the feels in the first minute of the video. Congrats on reaching 1 million! Quick side tip: if you get TSA Precheck (free with most travel credit cards) you don't have to remove your shoes at security!

[@pauldaley8637]

My father in law passed just a few years ago. He went to disney every year to 2 years from about 1975 to 2016 at which point his health would not allow the big trip from canada to florida. Between trips, we spent Saturday's watching and listening to dfb, he loved the updates, even after he knew that he could not go again. My wife and i recently went and it was bittersweet as we thought of him a lot and his love of disneyworld

[@nikic1987]

Your opening tribute to your dad was beautiful and had be choked up. Thanks for the great content and congrats on the major milestone!

[@kamarco4839]

I do split stays. I plan them so I stay at the value hotel over the weekend and the luxury resort Sunday through Thursday, if possible. Weekend prices are often higher, so at least I am paying the lesser prices charged by the luxury places.

[@dfbbreea]

Yes!! Such a good plan!

[@brandimcgee8480]

Congratulations, AJ!! Your dad would be so proud of you. 💛

[@metallicnole4514]

Certain more popular rides with complex systems have a tendency to go down, such as the trackless dark rides like remy's and rise of the resistance. Keep an eye out for when they reopen. There is a limited window when the ride reopens, and you can hop on with a smaller wait time before everyone realizes it reopened. That happened to me for remy's when it went down, and I was able to get in line and only wait about 30 mins. When I got out of the ride, the wait time jumped up to 75.

[@mgseggerman]

Swan and Dolphin add a "resort fee" to the daily charge - and do they charge for parking? Don't forget the $30 for parking at Ticket and Transportation or Animal Kingdom either. Split stay? We did Pop Century and Disney sent our bags to Shades of Green so that is included, too.

[@BeThePhoenix1111]

The hopper app is great until you have a problem… then it isn’t the airline or hotel’s problem, it’s the 3rd party sellers problem and since they already have your money, it’s officially YOUR problem! Always book through the airline or hotel…sometimes the savings aren’t worth it.

[@elainehill5931]

Since they moved the Food and Wine event to the week before Labor Day we will be there for opening weekend certainly didn’t plan it that way. Don’t want to just skip Epcot as we won’t be back for a while, but at least won’t be doing the very first day of the festival.

POG Juice is known as "Riviera Cooler" at The Riviera Resort. At least that was the way four years ago.

[@nugalejr]

POG was not created by Disney, which you mentioned. But please give it's credit to Hawai‘i and it's culture. We love Disney, but we shouldn't allow it to look as if Disney steals a culture and owns it. Lilikoi is passion fruit. POG includes lilikoi, orange and guava. Haleakala Dairy made it famous and the millions of travelers who came to Hawaii over the decades helped to make it famous elsewhere. Thank you AJ!
