Absolutely share your workout video! It may not be relevant to every subscriber, but many will appreciate your unique perspective! I no longer have toddlers, so that doesn’t apply to me. But I still love your channel, your spirit and your excitement for your family, Disney and travel! Thanks, Bekah!

[@BekahHart]

That’s so sweet! Thank you 🥹❤️

[@s.p.3738]

Perfect toddler nap planning. I used to work on Main St in MK and sooo many crying children and mad parents were passing through in the evening. No nap = Unmagical

[@tjlemaster]

TOTALLY spot on about the bus! No matter where you stay, you’ll have to take a bus to a minimum of 2 parks and Disney Springs (if not on the Sassagoula river)! Wilderness Lodge might be a few minutes longer bus ride than some of the others, but imo the beauty and vibe make it totally worth the extra travel time!

[@BekahHart]

Yes! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@curator3539]

One of my FAVORITE smells is pine trees in/after the rain. I feel like for that reason I would really like Wilderness Lodge.

[@lorismith6641]

I have followed Ashley for a while and I am so glad I have found your channel. I have been watching all of your old Vlogs. You are so delightful 💜

[@BekahHart]

Thank you so much! ☺️❤️

[@laurencass6449]

I’d personally love to see the workout video! I always wonder if it’s worth it to fit in a workout a Disney, considering all of the walking. I think I speak for most viewers when I say that we found your channel from your Disney content, but we’ve stayed for you!! I’d watch pretty much anything you make 💞

[@BekahHart]

You’re the best 🥹❤️

[@laurencass6449]

@@BekahHart so are you!! 🥰

[@user-cs1ge1ek2k]

Just got back from the Riviera. That resort does not share a park bus with any other resort...quick trips. 43:25

[@BekahHart]

Correct! “Most resorts” share buses, Riviera does not ☺️

[@CorinaJane]

"Yes, it's always crowded!" Hahaha yes!!! Still amazing and so magical!

[@BekahHart]

😂😂 The crowds will always be there lol. As long as you set your expectations right, it’s still so magical!

[@CorinaJane]

@@BekahHart 100%!

[@otapprovedactivities1675]

Yes!!! Share the workout video! I’m interested! :)

[@BekahHart]

Awesome!

[@kristenkindler]

Thank you for all of the great info!! Can’t wait for the club level stay video! 🎉

[@BekahHart]

Yay! Really excited to share more about it 🥳

[@courtneyjohnston1115]

Would you ever consider staying at the Polynesian or Animal Kingdom Lodge? We did a split stay there last year renting DVC points and absolutely love them both. The food at Animal Kingdom Lodge was amazing!

[@BekahHart]

That was actually our very first DVC stay! We did a split stay at AKV and Poly ☺️ we loved it!

[@Kate-np4ou]

I’ve never taken a disney bus. Uber is the way to go imo

[@alexis_12219]

I’m doing a split stay at Saratoga Springs and Grand Floridian in September! Do you have any advice on things (dining, going to the parks, activities, etc.) to do at Grand Floridian?

[@BekahHart]

Check out my Grand Floridian review and vlogs! I show lots of recommendations ☺️✨

[@carolinewatts1985]

Great video!! I can’t wait to see the tour of the vice president suite! What a wonderful pixie dust moment!! we are the same way with our kids. Naps are crucial for us to be able to have them late in the park. I would rather give up a couple hours of time, and have happy kids.

[@BekahHart]

Ah I can’t wait to share more! ✨ And YES 👏🏼 it’s such a crucial part of our day for that exact reason 🙌🏼

[@tonyagriffin3995]

Great video, such a wealth of knowledge! ❤

[@BekahHart]

Thank you! ☺️

[@heatherneary1470]

Would you recommend wilderness lodge, AKL or boardwalk in December for 9 days. I have a toddler around the same age

[@MoniqueARuiz]

Have you done a video that explains rider swap? Maybe this is very niche, but I’m going to Disney with my sister next month and she has two little girls who won’t be able to ride certain rides. I don’t have kids so have never needed this kind of option and am just curious how exactly this all works

[@BekahHart]

All you have to do for rider swap is approach the cast member standing at lightning lane entrance for the attraction, let them know you would like to do rider swap, and they will scan the magic band of the individual/s who will be riding second, they will be given a LL ☺️

[@donnaandros9650]

Would you recommend Old Key West or Wilderness Copper Creek for 2 bedroom villas with two small children? I'm thinking transportation to MK is important?

[@JulieSmith11]

Do share your workout video in Disney! I think it would be great to see.

[@BekahHart]

Good to know! ❤️

[@anitatedesco9075]

i’m always amazed at toddlers who still nap 😮 😂 my son just turned 3 and hasn’t napped since last last August 🙁

[@BekahHart]

Ellie rarely naps at home anymore 😆 But when we’re at Disney, it’s a different story 🙌🏼😅

[@shainasmith7003]

Have you ever done Mickeys not so scary Halloween party? Also do you ever do universal with your toddler?

[@BekahHart]

We have not, I’m planning to wait until Ellie is a little bit older ☺️ And we did universal once years ago, but we are very much Disney people.

[@anasylvera]

I WOULD LOVE TO SEE YOUR WORKOUTS!!!!!

[@RachelCurci]

So would you say the Stoney Clover Fanny is better than the Petunia PB cross cross sling? I have the sling but I’m wondering if I should make the jump to Stoney Clover

[@BekahHart]

I haven’t tried the cross sling, but I love the SC fanny packs ☺️

[@alexandrageisler8487]

When you got the upgrade, did they charge you? Our last trip I made my preferences when doing virtual check in, and we got them (yay!) but they charged us extra, like more for the king size bed. I didn’t realize that when stating preferences!

[@BekahHart]

No thank goodness 😅 They did not charge us for the upgrade. 1 night would have been the price of our entire trip 😂 I’ve never heard of Disney charging for upgrades! That’s very strange that happened!

[@lauradenison4079]

I didn’t know that about the usb

[@BekahHart]

Okay glad I’m not alone! 😅

[@LizKrause]

If I purchase tickets through a third party do you know if they will still let you upgrade your ticket to AP

[@BekahHart]

Once your tickets are linked, there would be no way of knowing where you purchased the tickets ☺️ So yes! You would still be able to upgrade tickets that you purchased from a 3rd party.

[@MoniqueARuiz]

No, actually you can’t! My sister bought our tickets through a teacher discount program. I then decided to get an AP and called to see if they could do the upgrade and the cast member I spoke to thought it was possible but transferred me to a manager who said third party tickets aren’t eligible. Only tickets purchased directly though Disney. So I just haven’t activated my AP yet. I’ll go on this trip I already have tickets for and will activate my pass for the next time I go (since you have a year to do so!)

[@danielgutierrez585]

We are taking my niece for her 3rd birthday in October, do you think she will be able to ride the rides, was ellie able to ride

[@BekahHart]

So fun! There are over 50 attractions that do not have a height requirement ☺️ Lots to do for toddlers!

[@dawnbeinlich2390]

Club level is the way to go to splurge for sure! I stayed Club level back around 2010 at Boardwalk and alcoholic beverages were included back then (I'm aware they are not anymore). To say it was one of the most fun Disney trips would be an understatement 🤣 I'm all for the workout video especially since you took the time and effort to edit it! My husband and I always have great intentions of working out while in Disney...clothes get packed, alarms go off...and it ends there! Maybe one day 😁

[@BekahHart]

Club level is the best! And alcohol is still included 👌🏼 It really does make for the most magical Disney trip!!

[@dawnbeinlich2390]

@@BekahHart no way?!? Ohhh maybe it wasn't available when opening back up after COVID. Now I need to see about upgrading for a day or two for next trip. Thanks for info!
