AVOID These 50 Disney World Mistakes

[@omelettexmoa2995]

0:01 yes it is. I went with my cousins who didn't want to do anything, my dad who hated the sun, my aunt who only wanted to shop at gift stores, my brother who wanted to do all of the rides he was too small for, and my mom who was screaming at us all. it was fun ofc (its Disney world lol) but the right people make the trip a lot better.

[@Notta_Brat]

This is why we have agreed to all go in our own directions and only meet back together for meals LOLOLOLOL

From a former Disney World cast member. During the summer, stay on the side walks when possible. The doors to the shops are always left open so you can catch a cool breeze from the AC's as you walk by.

We always bring individual Propel, Gatorade or Pedialyte drink mix packets with us. Super convenient, lightweight, no issue with flying, etc. This is much easier than trying to bring Gatorade bottles. Just mix one into a free ice water from a counter service location. Works well for us.

"It's always gonna rain." I'm considering myself lucky that we've always somehow avoided Florida rain!! For anyone wondering, those trips were in the November and April months.

Choosing the right hotel is very important! My fiancé and I just went last week for our 8 year anniversary/engagement and we stayed at Coronado Springs and it was lovely!! So romantic and quiet and lowkey. We ended up skipping Disney Springs on our Disney Springs day and just stayed at the hotel and relaxed by the pool. Much better than staying at one of the more "kiddie" resorts.

It was an emotional roller coaster back in April when I snagged ROTR boarding group 6. Then I realized that I had a 8:50am breakfast at Topolino's with HS opening at 9. I rushed over to Topolino's for opening time (I think 7:30am) to see if they could help me out and seat me early. Luckily they could. Even still, only made it into the ROTR queue with 5 minutes to spare in the hour return window. (29:45)

I could vouch for last week (sept 6-10, 2021). Longest wait for anything at all 4 parks was Mickey & Minnie’s railroad for 40 minutes. Most other rides, no longer than 30 minutes with some 10s or even 5s. Best time to go imo.

Disney is expensive but the atmosphere and memories should make it worth the trip.

U can’t really practice getting a virtual queue unless u have a reservation. I have Disneyland magic key and I have tried just to see if there were any available.

Great for hydration is a product called Hydrant. It’s in a powder form and doesn’t take a lot of room in your bag, isn’t full of sugar like Gatorade and mixes well with water warm or cold and not nearly as expensive as smart water. Got through 6 marathons including a Disney run with it.

Thank you for advising against the “my party’s just ahead of you” ploy. I was in the park at the same time as a large high school crowd was visiting. One chaperone was doing this with a rowdy group of about a dozen teenagers. I stopped him and suggested that those of us already waiting in line for the last 30 minutes would be happy to allow the small group ahead to come back and join their friends at the back of the line, without trampling on the landscaping, and we can each wait in line together. I didn’t make a fuss, but they settled down. Most of them returned. Through the landscaping again. Which could have gotten them kicked out.

Gatorade isn’t amazing for electrolytes when you’re sweating a bunch and drinking a lot of water. They make electrolyte supplement pills and powders that are way better (I live in south Florida, and sports drinks can also sometimes make you feel sick after being in the hot sun all day).

FYI: in a previous video she mentioned that adults can order kid’s meals at Disney World restaurants. Most restaurants, especially Topolino’s Terrace, did not let me order a kid’s meal due to being over the age of 12. I was able to order kids meals for myself over the app for those that have mobile ordering.

[@ToontownAndCpenguin]

Commenting on the backpack one, the Loungefly bags seem small but do not underestimate them! Yes, they're expensive, I know. I absolutely love Ducktales, been a fan of it my entire life pretty much so when I saw Boxlunch had this awesome Ducktales backpack, I put it on my wants list for my birthday, my family never knows what to buy me because I have weird interests they don't understand so I give them a list & they pick from it. That backpack was the most expensive item on my list so I didn't think I'd get it but hey, I did & just before I went on a small trip back to my home city. I moved like a year in a half ago & travel back sometimes for appointments & such. Anyways, this trip was for a concert because I had concert tickets for summer of 2020 that got delayed to October 2021 due to the pandemic & my birthday is the end of September so I got the backpack within perfect timing of that trip. I'm the sort that always likes to be prepared for things & wanted to try out the new backpack for a small trip to pack things I'd need. Not only did it fit everything but I had extra room to store a concert shirt I bought while there & still had bonus room. For a Disney World trip, there's clearly more than you would be packing but I'm sure my little backpack can stand up to the job plus it's Ducktales! I love a lot of the Disney Afternoon & although my trip is over a year in a half away (maybe even longer), I want to show my love for the shows from the Disney Afternoon because I remember back when I went to Disneyland in 2002, I absolutely flipped out over Gadget having her own ride in Toontown, since I was a bit too young for Disney Afternoon (was 11 during my 2002 Disneyland trip), most of my friends didn't know the shows so I was convinced Chip N Dale Rescue Rangers was obscure which it's not but when you're the only one of your friends who knows it, including the Disney obsessed party you traveled with, it feels like that. I'm happy to show my love for something that doesn't get as much attention as other areas of Disney does & actually, the Loungefly bags are good for that. I've seen so many of them during my trips to Boxlunch that was like "whoa, I thought they forgot that exists!" So yeah, another reason to pick one up, love something that doesn't get enough merchandise? See if there's a Loungefly bag for it then save your money or request it as a present for a holiday or birthday. Granted, Ducktales does see a lot of love, especially with the reboot, there was fabric released for it so people have been using that to make customized things such as this amazing Ducktales face mask I bought off of etsy, I love the reboot as well so it works out. Actually was buying some books on Disney World at Barnes & Noble, wearing my Ducktales face mask yesterday, never been to Disney World so I want to be extra prepared & the person at checkout asked me if I went to Disney often & I told him I wish I did. He then said he assumed I did due to all the pins I had on me plus the Ducktales mask. My bag I use for my wallet & things I want to whip out quickly has a window on it so I can show off my pins. It's actually an assortment from my 2002 trip, stuff I bought online, & presents I got from my Disney loving friends, I found a whole group of friends who are super into Disney when I was in high school & we still keep in touch. Actually just spent a week making Minnie Mouse ears for these friends.

I never did figure out the bus system when I went to Disneyworld!

[@SWilliams-01]

You just wait for a Bus that has the location you want on the window sign… get on and have fun! Simple. You just can’t go hotel to hotel. So if you want to get to another hotel you have to go to a park or Disney springs first then switch busses to the other hotel

Himalayan salt works best for electrolytes. Some tricks, if you drink coffee in the morning put a few pinches in your coffee not only do you get electrolytes it takes the bitterness out of the coffee. I even add it to my water when I’ve been on the 🚑 working the beach area.

[@beourguesttours7408]

It's a good idea to print your park reservations and bring the paper with you. The reservation system has been a nightmare with people's reservations disappearing from their app. Having the print out as proof has saved some of my clients from being turned away at the gate.

Also know that Disney no longer brings the Floral and Gift orders to your room. This includes the decorations. You must set them up yourself.

Seeing that myself and my party are guilty of at least a quarter of the things you said NOT to do I think I'll be doing a bit more research before next time

For Electrolytes, there is a really good powdered electrolyte drink called LiquidIV. It's delicious they have so many flavors, and each packet is equal to 3 water bottles. All you need to have is water, it's very low on calories too, but it tastes really good.

Great points thank you. Another winner as usual

I love disney!

The best way is to rent a motel 6 outside Disney for $70 a night. Then rent a car and drive into Disney world. Also spend some time driving around Kissimmee and Orlando. There are so many things outside of Disney that is so entertaining.

When training for and doing my full and half marathons I carried salt packets with me. When the electrolytes go to low, I would lick my hand or dump water on it then dump the salt on my wet hand then lick it off. It is gross and tastes nasty but it is better than an electrolyte crash!

For those people who want a cheaper hotel to stay at, it’s not owned by Disney or in the Disney Bubble, but it’s also not miles away from any of the parks at all. It’s the Rosen Inn on International Drive. I stayed there on my first trip to Florida for Disney World and Universal Studios, and it was perfect and the price for the room was cheap and affordable. The only downside to it is if you don’t drive, is all the money spent on Uber or Lyft to and from the parks, but it didn’t cost me too much and I was there for 2 weeks.
