Disney's GENIE+ has been disolved due to a law suit that started shortly after it started. It turns out that the person that presented it to Disney had actually stole it from another company that hadn't launched it yet. Upon learning that Disney has done 2 things. 1) Gone on the deffence & 2) Sterted creating something new. This is the resault of something new which really goes to show Disney creativity as they went back to Fastpass, just a paid version!

I have been going to Disney for the last 25 years but about 8 years ago our attendance tapered off due to price and mostly it has gone from a hassle free day to a convoluted overpriced experience. if I was going to Disney i would view your videos for they are very helpful. but they do confirm my belief that Disney is way over complicated and niversal has provided a better experience not requiring so much planning.

As someone who goes to Disney biannually, even I agree with you here. I personally love the planning because my older two kids and I do it together, but if I didn’t have their help, I’d hire a TA without hesitation. A good one will even book your LLs for you while you’re in the parks and it doesn’t cost you a dime more than doing it yourself. I offer winter why more folks don’t use one. Also, with a 20, 15, and 5 yo (and a 43 yo husband), would you say it’s time for us to give Uni a go again? It’s been 10 years since we visited and I’d like to know more about what uni has to offer and why you prefer it, overall, now. There’s tons of vids, but it’s nice to hear from someone who is a regular guest sometimes. No pressure, if you don’t have time to reply, but interested in your take if you do! Thanks!

Just a thought… if we were to stand on the side of the street and scream that there was a turtle in the road, then ask cars to please not hit it, many might not, but eventually someone likely would; however, if we were to take action and move the turtle, he’d very likely be much safer. The same goes for complaining about Disney. I’m not saying it’s not okay to vent. It absolutely is! But if we want true change, we’re going to have to pull our support and make this billion dollar company feel it in their pockets. I’m personally not at a point that I’m ready to stop patronizing. It still brings so much joy to my family. But! I see so many of you feeling very slighted and I want them to hear you! I also know as a former travel planner, you’ve got to pull support, in large numbers, for them to do that. It breaks my heart to see so many of you feeling let down by them, even though I really have no financial stock in people showing up anymore. I always tried to be honest and tell people if Disney seemed to be a good fit for them. It makes me sad what used to bring so much joy brings so much negativity now. We will likely NEVER get the old Disney back, but I think some things could change if we stopped screaming on the side of the street and moved the turtle. The question is, has it gotten bad enough that you’re ready to do that? If that’s a yes for you, take that action. Others might follow and you might get some actual change.

Hi AJ & DFB, absolutely love all of your videos. They’ve helped me plan 2 trips already. I have a question relating to the multi pass. I will be staying off property and it looks like I can only purchase the multi pass three days before THE DAY I wish to buy the pass. Essentially, I can’t purchase the multi pass 3 days before my trip for all the days of my trip. I plan to go to Hollywood studios on Aug. 9 and the app is saying I can’t purchase the multi pass until August 6 at 7 am even tho our first day in the parks is Aug. 8. I have a feeling this is because our tickets are NOT date based. Is there someone on your team that can explore this for FL residents using the non-date-based tickets? Seems the most perks for the new lightning lanes are for out of state residents staying on property

All of the Deluxe resorts, except the Riviera, have an option to stay on the Club/concierge level which will include complimentary food and drinks. Continental breakfast midday and hot and cold appetizers in the afternoon, and desserts in the evening can be had. You get a lot of other benefits too, like faster checkin, exclusive fireworks viewing lounge, and private concierge service if you need it; they can do things like make reservations or buy tickets for you or arrange for childcare. Of course, it is considerably pricier than a standard room.

There are easy ways to cut costs and to maximize time. All it takes is a little preparation and planning. For instance, a Disney Visa card is the best credit card I ever got. I pay my regular bills on it as much as possible and every year I take my trip with a $1000 rewards card that I earn through points. Can't get a dining reservation? Buy a month of mousedining. It's never failed me in snagging a meal for my group at exactly the place I want. Hate waiting outside the gate? Go an hour after opening instead of at rope drop. Tired? Take a break to go back to your hotel midday, and come back later in the eve. Or ride the train or monorail around the park for a while. Consider watching the fireworks from a resort instead of in the middle of park crowds so you can go to bed after them instead of fighting for travel back. I've honestly never had a bad time with these few simple tips, and I know several more.
