9 Bad Ideas You’re Going to Have in Disney World!

[@bradperon3825]

Most underrated souvenir is the Beach Towel.

[@borntobebookish7507]

Yes!!! I have a sorcerer Mickey one and I never thought I'd have a favourite towel of all things 😅😅😅

[@TheCoolCookieKitchen]

Sooooo true. It's the most used souvenirs in the house. And they make me think of the our trips every time I use them.

[@cookiess5049]

It’s not better than a life time ban that way you get your picture placed in every Disney park and hotel around the world FOREVER now that’s a souvenir

[@eldergeek6077]

Magnets are a good choice too.

[@allisong6971]

Right, if you live up north, like many of us, beach towels are only uses seasonally so they can last 15-20 years easily! I have one from my childhood that leaves me feeling nostalgic and I'm 29.

[@JessicaKissinger88]

For souvenirs: FAMILY TIP. Fill a small carry-on suitcase with all the snacks and Ziplock bags you’ll want to have in WDW. By the end of the trip, that snack bag will be empty and you can fill it with souvenirs! Works great for our family of 5!

Here’s your Disney MUST! List - sunscreen (no one wants cancer or wrinkles) - a change of socks (trust me it will definitely rain or something will happen to your socks) - poncho (again the rain) - portable charger (you might think you’re not on your phone much but trust me you are) - handheld fan (amazon has cheap ones that are lightweight) - light sweater/ windbreaker (only if you get cold easily or plan on getting wet) - reusable water bottle (stay hydrated I have witnessed so many people passing out over heat/ dehydration) - SNACKS (to fight the hangry monsters) - cooling towel (super cheap on amazon) - pain medicine/ first aid kit (someone will definitely need it) - tampons/ pads (if needed or will be needed soon) Also remember not to take anything your family says personal especially when they are hangry 😁 just ignore them.

In a couple years maybe ask your kids if they had good memories with them there, a favorite laugh or time. Anything. Maybe them just being there with your kids was worth it's weight in gold. Hell, if anything you can bond with your kid years from now about in-laws. It will work it's way out.

Motion sickness tip . Sea sickness patches they're small fit behind the ear they last 4 days they come in packs of 3 . My wife gets motion sickness easy but with these patches she can ride anything even mission space orange. Last time we went to Disney World for 10 days she wore the patch all 10 days and never felt sick. You have to get them from a Doctor prescription but its worth it . Please share.

[@DFBGuide]

Thanks for sharing this helpful tip, Mike!

[@Rikativity]

Another option to stave off motion sickness is ginger pills or chews! My husband gets motion sick pretty easily (even the Parks busses can trigger it). We tried Dramamine, but he was pretty drowsy that whole trip. I was surprised to find that ginger is a proven natural nausea remedy, and now we never go to WDW without it!

[@ryanm9105]

@@Rikativity Definitly will second ginger as a great all natural nausea reliever.

[@simplesimply3753]

That's great to know. I have terrible motion sickness and always wanted to visit but worried it be wasteful since I couldn't ride anything.

[@adde9506]

Wearing one (just one) of those soft foam or wax earplugs can help, too. Also, never hide: if you're on a boat, move to the bow, look at the horizon, and tell them to go faster. Motion sickness is caused by a mismatch between you're body and your eyes; one thinks your moving and the other doesn't. The earplug thing works by giving your brain a different mismatch to work on. It's great for migraines, too.

[@nicolebrowne1433]

Don’t ride big, fast ride without eating and drinking anything either (eat at least an hour before, not just right before)! I know a lot of people’s bodies haven’t jump started without any sustenance and going on those rides make them queazy when they normally don’t affect them 👍🏻

When kids are old enough we like to get each a Disney gift card or a Visa gift card (since these can be used more places) and that's what they get to spend. We have also picked up one treat card and a different design souvenir card. They love the freedom and you have set a limit right from the start. Bonus if the trip is being planned far enough in advance we will ask for and give gift cards for gifts!

[@sacredsiren]

When I was a kid and we went to Disney my parents told me in advance that I could pick one stuffed toy and one other souvenir to bring home with me, and that was it. It was a good method because I could still browse in the stores and look at all the items to pick out that perfect item or stuffed toy that I wanted to bring home, but I knew my limitations so I wasn't asking for things constantly. To be fair the collectables market has expanded significantly from what it was in the 80's so I am sure the temptations are more difficult to resist at times.

[@omattjohnson]

that is how my parents are too!

[@adde9506]

Me too, I'm sure it still works. "We'll buy it before we leave, when you decide what you really want." If the kid actually remembers hours or days later, they really do want it.

[@fndourvoices8416]

One tip we found when we went in a big group and split up was we bought walkie talkies from Walmart and used them in the park to arrange meet ups. Was very very handy.

[@wesleyjbarisoff]

This is so great! especially when your from out of country and using your phone costs $$$$!

[@verdatum]

I've wondered about this. I've always presumed that the level of chatter on walkie talkie channels within the park would just be absolute madness because of so many families with the same idea. So you're saying you did not have that problem?

[@fndourvoices8416]

We didnt have any problems. We went in a group of 13. And got a couple of i think they were $20 walkie talkies from Walmart so we could split up in the park and do what we wanted to do. So we all got to enjoy time with our own families or groups we wanted to go do different things. It's a great help. As mentioned using your phone costs so much. It's also good if your staying in apartments like we do. We stayed in Kissimmee at celebration suites (highly recommend) right next to old town. And we were able to use them there also. As we were not all next to each other.

[@blaster-zy7xx]

No. People use phones now. Wilkie talkies are toys and don't really have the range you will want.

[@fndourvoices8416]

They worked for us. We are from the uk and the phone charge was costing us. So we picked up the wide range walkie talkies not kids ones. And worked better for us.

[@Edinburgh74]

my tip for avoiding queasy tummy - ginger tablets (buy from pharmacy/ health store) take with a light breakfast before you hit the parks. it definitely helped with my nausea. first time without on Rock n Roller Coaster felt sick for an hour after. taking the ginger pills - was fine 5-10 mins after riding any of the big rides

@@simplesimply3753 Calling Disney is probably the best way to get answers. They are dead helpful. But if you really want a video, that would be more up Theme Park Express's alley than AJ's. He does plus size accessibility videos and lives in Florida. He might actually be very interested in the slightly different topic as an excuse to hit Disney, almost all of their rides are size inclusive.

[@mmmirei]

My brother is able to get the disability pass, so I do have experience with it. I don’t fully understand it, but I’m pretty sure that you go and talk to guest relations, and they “give” you a pass (not sure if they actually give you something to prove it or not) and then it kind of works like a fast pass, but it also doesn’t. This will be kind of hard for me to explain, so bear with me. I think if you go to the cast member at the entrance to a line and tell them you have the disability access thing, they will (might) tell you to go check in with them when you come back. Then, I believe, you can go off to do other stuff for however long the standby line is, and once that time is up, you can take a shortened line to the ride. So, your technically still waiting, but you can go and ride other rides at the same time. Hope that helps and I didn’t get something horribly wrong. It’s been almost a year since I last went to Disney, and my brother doesn’t really like a lot of the rides the rest of us like, so we don’t get to use the pass a whole lot lol

[@TheNobod3]

Even if you usually have a big enough appetite for multiple sit-down restaurants at home, I still would recommend one table-service reservation a day at most if you're not a WDW veteran. The stress and excitement of being in the parks can manifest itself in a lot of ways, and that can include a massive loss of appetite, as I learned first-hand. Definitely keep your meal schedule flexible!

My family has been to Disney world 12 times and I am 10 so here is a quick tip if you have a toddler or a young person with you, If you get a stroller make sure you get a ballon, when you park your stroller at a ride or wherever you are leaving it, tie your ballon to your stroller so it will be easier to find (because the cast members do move the strollers around)

Best souvenir advice... Take pictures of the items you can't live without, the sales tags and the stores they were in. When you get home, go through the "gift catalog" of pics and go online to see if they are at the Disney store online, or call the park with the information and request to buy and have shipped the ones you really are sorry you didn't buy. Less stuff in your luggage on the way home, and you have the luxury of choosing what you really want.

As a 40 year glasses wearing coaster rider, losing them need not be a problem. Get a strap, or several. Plenty out there - just search "sports glasses strap sunglasses" or similar on amazon or other shops. (Note, this is NOT the type that you hang your glasses on round your neck when not in use - these provide a fit akin to a facemask, though they don't need to be so tight.) With the right ones they will stay on your face on rides way more intense than anything Disney has - like if you take a day out to Busch Gardens or SeaWorld and ride everything :-)

[@MichaelCMeyer]

Raincoat with armpit zippers and vents. This way you can wear your raincoat and not overheat. I have a Columbia raincoat with armpit zips for winter hiking New England White Mountains. Chums, Croakies, or neck strap eyeglass cord to keep your sunglasses on your head. Typically used while boating but can be useful for amusement park rides.

A couple of them won't apply, since my planned trip is 2 years out.

[@jeffaltier5582]

Best decision we made over several trips-- get out of the park for a bit. We have found it so much easier to leave a park at around 11 and go to one of the hotels to do lunch. A) its way less crowded. B) it gives you some down time instead of slogging through the midday sun. Doesn't work for everyone, but really the time you are out of the park equals about 1 ride during the noon hour because of the lines.

You are the ONLY YT channel I am subscribed to that I have notifications on so I know when you post a video! Your channel is extremely informative, and the tips im legit writing down! My boyfriend and I are looking to go sometime next year. *I wanna go in January* Thank you for your awesome videos!

Great tips for anyone visiting ANY Disney Park! I've had all of these as part of my Disney Success itineraries since the 60th anniversary.

I went to disneyland for a school trip and my dad went also. (about 4-5 hours away) and we went on space mountain. My dad has a haircut that is usally up. But he gets motion sick especially in the dark. _At universal, we almost called an ambulance after revenge of the mummy_ and when we got off space mountain, we saw the pictures and you could tell he was not having fun. while everyone around him was flailing their arms around, screaming, he was sitting there, pale face, even his ussally up and happy looking hair was down and sad looking. When he got off, he told us that he was trying to hold in his barf. *He was sitting behind the principal, his boss, yes he works at the school, and he amost barfed on his boss, and his sons principal*

This is 5 months old but we buy our vacation sunglasses and back ups for the trip. It saves us so much and we sit. Have to worry about losing our favorites.

[@Longgatedboy]

I use to avoid the dinosaur ride because when I rode it the first time I was crying XD then I thought I was brave when I went on a field trip in 5th grade to animal kingdom. I rode it again....and cried again XDD then when I went on it in January(before corona) I was fine and actually it’s my favorite ride! It takes time but eventually you’ll be brave enough to ride something that scared you before❤️

[@Longgatedboy]

@@theredboneking I really wanna ride it :0 but I've never been to Disneyland. Hopefully when I do go I can try it :)

[@lynnebla]

I’m 44 and Dinosaur still scares me. I don’t think I’m going to grow out of it now!

[@yaffarealbeauty6089]

I like park hopping but mostly just for the evening and not so much during the day. We don’t stay that many days when we go so we can make the most of it.

[@bradbosshart5709]

My poor wife needs Dramamine. We did Mission Space and she was GREEN! (First and last time) My son and I love Star Tours, we have done it many many times. My wife can’t do more than maybe 5 times in a day. Still one of our favorites! Can’t wait to go back, maybe 2022? The food looks so good in your videos, be safe and thanks for your videos!

“You don’t need to bring a coat to Disney World in December” said the frozen man

[@eldergeek6077]

At the very least, you'll need a light jacket.

[@melf5361]

DE-EVOLUTION Twice now, the stubborn Minnesotan has gotten the better of me and havent packed anything besides a hoodie because, “We can handle it, it’s warmer than home!” Froze to death at night. Even bought hats this last time!

[@largol33t1]

People are nuts to forget at least a jacket. I went to Universal in mid-January and still shivered a bit but at least I had something to wear over my shirt. My jacket was too flimsy but it was better than nothing. Orlando can get cold in January. Fortunately for me, they were serving hot butterbeer everywhere.

[@deneentorkelson6131]

Went to Disney one time during an unusual cold snap during the winter a number of years ago. It was 33 degrees in Orlando!🥶🥶🥶

*Even if you haven't eaten or drunk anything, Star Tours and Mission Space can make you nauseated. ("Drunk" being the past participle, "drank" being past tense, and "drunken" being an archaic form which now is mainly used as an adjective only.) However, this is only true of written language, and "drank" is considered acceptable in speech, so...YOU GOT IT! :)

[@AdventuresWithTheRomanceAuthor]

Hello I have a quick question. If you are staying at an off site hotel and purchase tickets can you buy a magic band and add it to that?

[@ronhertz2377]

Yes guest services can help link them to all your tickets reservations

[@tonia.5861]

Fun fact: my expensive PRESCRIPTION sun glasses flew out of my pocket on Space Mountain. I knew it the second we exited the ride but of course it’s too late. The Cast member told me that they sweep the ride every night and all the items are taken to the lost and found. They gave me the number to the lost and found, I called them the next morning and they actually had my glasses and I was able to go get them!!! FYI: the lost and found is located in a building by the parking lots/ticketing/trains.

[@MamaTine9]

My family and I were there in February and my boys (4 & 6) were eating Mickey bars while we waited in line for Big Thunder when I realized I forgot to put the baby wipes in my backpack. 🤦🏻‍♀️ I will never forget them again!

[@clairedupreez6324]

We were at Disney for 2 weeks and we took photos of the kids must have souvenirs. Then near the end of the holiday we went through the photos to decide which one they really wanted before we made our last visit to the park we saw it in.

[@sophiaakentt]

honestly been binge watching all your videos and i just wanna come back to florida 😫😫

[@baigneuselb]

On Expedition Everest I was caught off guard when I felt my real glasses try to fly off my face before I was able to clamp down on them. Sunglasses don't stand a chance.

[@blaster-zy7xx]

Yes! Do NOT go in one huge large group. As the saying goes, the time to get from point a to point b goes up exponentially with the number of people.

[@christinahatcher2772]

I buy a towel for everyone in my family each trip we go on! I love them!

[@Lily-gt6ut]

If you don’t need to pack much except for phones, sunglasses, sanitiser, masks etc use a bum bag, i bought one in Tokyo Disney and every time we went to the parks or ikisipari (disney springs) 3 phones, 2 pairs of glasses/sunglasses and a thin top managed to fit into the bag.

[@capngabbersw]

I get nauseous very easily so as a general rule I never drink in the parks period, which is why I was super impressed when on our last visit, we saw two young girls walk into Test track with beer. They chugged it down, went in the queue, rode the attraction and walked out like nothing happened. Good for them.

[@vebtinkerbellable]

I have figured, when it comes to souvenirs, give all members of ur party a limit by putting that amount on a gift card, And once that gift card is empty then that’s all there is it will also teach how to watch what you’re spending and keep them on budget

[@spearsba]

We only buy souvenirs from the discount rack, yes they have them. Or at the Disney store in the close by outlet mall

[@novemberninth4392]

Yay, I'm early! And thanks a lot for these videos, AJ! I've never been to any Disney parks but this is still very informative.

[@AdventuresThatROCK]

Fabulous BAD IDEAS! Loved it!! Thank you!!

[@IMVADER2]

For the souvenir one, as long as it's practical clothing you're *probably* going to use it all the time...exceptions might be the ears tho, idk As for something like the pins, it's definitely a money sink if you're not careful, which is why I started collecting pins for all sorts of things & not just disneyworld. Still looking for a good way to display them tho!

[@danielballard4351]

Have you covered the disabilities pass? My son is on the autism spectrum and we use his pass so he doesn't have to wait in long lines. You get a return time, you can't just skip the line, but it's great for those with kids on the spectrum and we have observed a lot of families that may not know.

[@annamariepaciullo7111]

Family that isn’t you your spouse and kids is literally the worst thing ever trust me I’ve done it several times I’ll NEVER go with anyone other than my husband and kids again!!!

[@danip3270]

I would also add that bringing some disposable forehead sticker thermometers to your bag won’t hurt. They’re thin, light, pretty accurate, and can give you peace of mind. They don’t have to be expensive or fancy to give you a basic understanding if you, or a family member, is starting to run over 100 F.

[@nastassjaklipsch1175]

If you have a Target red card you can buy Disney gift cards with the 5% off. We do this and then each card is loaded with the same amount for each kid and that's their budget. Also, we take pictures of souvenirs we may want, rather than buying everything at that moment. Especially the first few days you think you really want it but by the end of the week, you realize you probably only want one or two of those things.

[@UmmYeahOk]

Guest: Uh, yeah, so... ...I lost my sunglasses Cast Member: “Oh I’m so sorry to hear that! Can you describe what they look like? Guest: Umm... ...ok, well, they are black and have two lenses Cast Member: Just a sec, let me look 😁

[@Meganscott1984]

Said every person who lost their sunnies. Did they have them?

[@cijmo]

LOL when we lost my niece for an hour, we couldn't remember what she had been wearing to give a description (this was before digital cameras to show pictures). She turned up about 20 minutes later and laughed when we saw what she was wearing. HAD we gone to lost and found and said "Seven year old girl in pink shorts and a Minnie Mouse t-shirt" they'd've said "Nah, we never see those in Disneyland."

[@UmmYeahOk]

cijmoalbal I once left my fanny pack at a gift shop register. I realized 20 minutes later, and ran back. They had already taken it up to the front. They asked for a description. I told them it was black. 😁 But then I remembered it had a giant Mickey logo on it as well. It also had a Donald and goofy keychain, but completely forgot to tell her that when checking. But “black fanny pack? Sure! Lemme check!” Probably easier time locate than sunglasses though. Fanny packs hadn’t really comeback yet.

It's weird to me that you can even go on a ride with sunglasses on, here in the UK most parks won't let you on the ride if you have any loose items
