How to OUTSMART Disney World in 2024

[@birbluv9595]

For some Disney Springs restaurants, you can book reservations on Open Table and avoid the 60-day limit.

[@jimbo0715]

One of the few benefits left being a passholder - I got a Value Resort for $87 a night in January- Mon -Thurs - weekend nights were only $110!!

[@CoronationCreation]

Ohhh that’s good to know!!! I’m crunching numbers, we are headed there for 8 days next month and I’d like to return one more time by next January! So I think just for ticket costs alone it may work out but it’s such a huge investment!

[@K1K1P00H]

i got that pricing as a non-pass holder for january through undercover tourist! so keep an eye out for those if anyone isn’t a pass holder :)

[@jimbo0715]

Oooohhh!! Thanks for the info, I’ll definitely check with them for future visits FIRST!! That is so good to know. 😄

[@K1K1P00H]

@@jimbo0715 yesss!! have fun in january :))

I watch these videos because the narrator is so calming. These videos make me relaxed for some reason.

[@mgseggerman]

I believe that the Swan Dolphin as well as Good Neighbor hotels carry parking fees as well as "resort fees" - so the seemingly low price is by no means the actual nightly cost for the room.

[@MikaTyni]

I checked the prices of Swan for October next year. It was around 4.500 dollars per night. I wouldn't call that a good value...

[@catherineim2431]

Curious where you're getting those low prices for the Swan and Dolphin? I remember those prices pre-covid but for the past year and looking into 2024, it's well over $500/night.

[@graceschmidt1942]

That Kroger info is great!!

[@kailynspixietales]

personally i’m so excited for cake bake as i’ll be doing my dcp when it opens because i’m from indy originally and it’s amazing and is like home!

[@vernonclark515]

Great tips and very accurate because I actually booked Coronado basic room through Priceline for about $216 a night. We definitely hit the jackpot going through the third party and still able to get the same benefits such as early morning magic.

[@JiggiJames]

Grats to te One Mill Subs. I'am watching you since the Start🥰

[@butchie3025]

You said multiple times "little to no wait times" for after hours events or extended evening hours. I have never been to one of these events and had little to no wait times. As a matter of fact they've all been crowded and I waited longer for attractions because there's no genie+.

[@ArcadePrincess]

I learn a lot of things on this channel but the one thing that truly shocked me was that Disney doesn’t carry Dr Pepper.

[@candycemonroe7345]

It's hard to find sweet tea too.

[@ceekay2390]

Pepsi product - never gonna happen. You could, however, successfully complain about there being no Mr. Pibb available.

[@Ratchetfan321]

​@ceekay2390 not a Pepsi product. DR. pepper is one of the few mainstream sodas left that are neither owned by coke or pepsi

[@ceekay2390]

@@Ratchetfan321Google says its parent company is PepsiCo. It may not have always been a Pepsi product, but apparently it is now.

[@giostevens7669]

Last yeah I went to Coronado springs for 225 a night and it was amazing

[@1997Ghost]

that spaceship earth line is nuts!

[@DevilCruz13]

Also the Signia by Hilton is an awesome value as well. I always stay there because I’m a Hilton member plus it’s considered on property and you get all the Disney park benefits.

[@MidlifeThrivingWithPatti]

I used to do the 1 annual pass for our family, years years ago. Great tip

[@annajonasigurjonsdottir4671]

Hi I just wanna say that I love your videos I love Disney and today is my birthday and i comment every year on your video I have done that for 2 years okey bye and merry Christmas🎉❤

[@amanduuuh_7117]

We are going!! But had to book at Spring Break because apparently 'it's a less busy season' isn't really a good reason for kids absences these days. So I am absolutely dreading it. Crowds and waits ugh. Would love to go another weekend but hey at least we're going! Thanks for all the tips :)

[@metallicnole4514]

It’s funny how all theme park channels say the best time to go is on weekdays when kids are normally in school. That’s as obvious as water being wet.

[@phyllisgreen3048]

Most school if given advance notice will give your kids makeup work and mark the days off as an excused absence. We are going Sat-Thurs. Returning home on Friday. So my kid will miss 5 days and have a whole weekend after returning home to do her makeup work.

[@Krkeagle]

LOL we live here in INDY and CAKE BAKE regular here in town (they have a couple locations) and it is EXPENSIVE as heck but YUMMY and a fun experience

[@StarViewer68]

Have you done their tea service? Pros and cons? That is what I’m most interested in trying at The Cake Bake Shop

[@marcelagonyer7461]

Thank you for sharing about kroger! We always order groceries but the fees from other businesses can be high

[@amydoran9987]

We just came back from a trip in November. We are going on one other trip this July to celebrate my daughter’s high school graduation. We just tried the family suites at the Art of Animation, for the first time and we loved the hotel and all the amenities in the hotel and the suites. This trip,we are staying where we usually do at the wilderness lodge, boulder ridge.I would honesty say for slightly less money, the value suites were a little nicer. We had a lot more space.The food court was great too.

[@DisneyandCowboysfanCatholic]

Be careful it’s going to be hot 🥵 come July

[@janetmattioli6187]

Can you park at Boardwalk if you want to eat in one of their restaurants?

[@Cflaquatics]

Yes

[@jamiehurst4875]

I cannot find the extended hours for Animal Kingdom for deluxe resort guests.

[@shady997]

If you book a dining reservation at 8am in animal kingdom for example, would you be able to leave just before 9am for park opening to try get to Pandora early?

[@DisneyandCowboysfanCatholic]

18 days to go for me 19 days till park day 1 of 5 for our January trip

[@cywoods60]

So excited for you 😊

[@BigGurlGeek]

21 days for me!

[@williamwoodruff5278]

1 day away!!!🎉

[@ladyinthekitchen]

so how was it?

[@fashionrookiemom]

How about March. Anything we need to know during that month?

[@GeorginaNeumann]

Wondering if anyone can help!☺️ We’re going to Disney world for 2 weeks in April and have Disney dining credit included with our booking. Would booking restaurants through open table and not through Disney allow us to use this credit still?

[@BigGurlGeek]

Yes as long as the restaurant accepts the Disney dining plan (the Disney website will tell you how many credits are used) it doesn’t matter if you book on Disney website or open table

[@jwild4501]

60 days out from princess run Disney and got my dinning booked this morning at 6:00 am!

[@ianferguson3543]

It’s become so complex and expensive that we won’t visit Florida Disneyworld again. We will try Tokyo. It looks fun and doesn’t have the modern booking madness of Florida.

[@greenbrown7776]

My question is this: Do you REALLY want to spend your vacation trying to outsmart the place you're visiting? More and more, WDWR sounds like work, not play. Unless your idea of relaxing is spending hours on an app, including the time you're in the park.

[@grumpyvet7990]

You had me at Artsy Fartsy 😂

[@cywoods60]

This information is the best.

[@jltravis12]

How do you find the 3rd party rooms?

[@garrityryan56]

I went a few weeks ago. And my wife forgot her inhaler, so I took an uber to cvs. I loaded up on drinks and snacks and probably saved at least a 100 by doing this

[@lostonyx4270]

I love watching these videos to live vicariously through them. No way in hell am I going to ever be able to justify a 5-10k minimum investment for a vacation that doesn’t even leave the country. But the thought of having that kind of money is nice..

[@MelissaStGemme]

At my 60 day mark, should I book Ohana, which will be the first day of our trip, or Homecomin’ brunch, which will be the last day of our trip? I feel like I should do Ohana first since it’s the earlier date, but I know Homecomin’ brunch goes fast. What should I do?

[@kevbama5827]

Homecomin without hesitation. Brunch is the hardest reservation other than Space 220.

[@DisneyandCowboysfanCatholic]

we got into space 220 for our January trip first time we get to eat there it’s going to be cool

[@jimbo0715]

Get ready for a jaw dropping price for 'Ohana - it cost me over $250 for breakfast - wowza - two kids, two adults.

[@leahwithheld783]

I’d book Ohana, because not everyone will have a trip the same length as yours, and then immediately book Homecomin’, since that will be 60+ days, and have a more limited group of people trying for it.

[@Elie-pd3lg]

I'm just happy for the new Little Mermaid show coming to Hollywood Studios. Yay!

[@travisakadoughboyfoodrevie2831]

Does that 60 days out plus your length of stay dining reservations rule work with the Swan and Dolphin?

[@kassondracable6192]

Dad DOES expect you to pay him back! Especially if he's taken you to Disney every year of your life and it's been paid for up till you moved out and got a good job. Don't put that bologna in grown adults minds in this day and time. Maybe there are dads out there that make a surplus of money and can afford his and his grown kids bills, but I don't know of any myself.

[@mx4073]

So let me get this straight, I'm going to Disney paying a bunch of money fighting crowds of people and now I have to try and outsmart everyone. This is not a vacation its more like the hunger games! I'll just spend my money some were else and just relax like a vacation is supposed to be. I grew up and live in Florida and as a Floridian we learned a long time ago Disney is for tourist to drop off their money and go home. My two grown kids don't even go back to that place were they heard you like cattle and rob you blind for a mediocre experience.

[@Lee-mx5li]

Great job on video

[@melissaholsopple8546]

We just booked a 2 bedroom Savanna room through David's

[@emjbelle]

Can you start with what ‘My Disney’ is???

[@worldtraveler3044]

It’s the app

[@richardmercer2337]

Being one of the first at a new restaurant is a tricky game to play.... NxQ!

[@richardmercer2337]

Also, if you were wondering, it's Shula's Steakhouse, not Shoeless Steakhouse...

[@jbmiller3280]

Hurumph. Now the obsessive compulsive planners will be incentivized to quadruple advance book months in advance making it very difficult to make dining reservations.

[@meghangriesemer1129]

I'm just happy for the new Little Mermaid show coming to Hollywood Studios. Yay!

[@birbluv9595]

Me too! I’m so tired of looking at that sad empty building.

[@basilp5179]

I don’t understand the whole swan and dolphin being a better deal. I looked up rooms and they were running 4-5k per NIGHT. I checked multiple dates too. Insane.

[@theresacorbe]

We just stayed and our whole trip, 5 nights with park hopper tickets, dining reservation (pre-paid) and other things. It was $4,000 TOTAL.

[@ms_veronicakay]

Quick tip: Swan and Dolphin is Marriott - so you can book with Marriott Best Price Guarantee. If you find your room cheaper online, not only will they price match, but give you an additional 25% off.

[@luna_soleil]

Go to Japan, Tokyo Disney is cheaper. That's one way.

[@jeandalton7108]

Unfortunately, These additions only mean more people for the same size parks. If they want to improve the experience- build about 5 more parks to accommodate the crowds.

[@McBearNB]

With HEA in the after hours, crowds coudl be over packed you can't move an inch. Downside fo rEnchantment is not only for after hours guests, but also yong kids could not stay awake even if Enchantment features Mickey Mouse. If that happens, wshoudl Enchantment go back to the original (like the pandemic era)? I was sp=ippose to visit Walt Disney World fo rmy 49th birthday to chatch Enchament in 2022, but due to my family issues and everything else, I'll never see it live, and perminately refused HEA for my 50th which EPCOT Forever replace that time to save my loss of interests.

Outsmart them by going to Universal, or taking your family to a national park.

[@johntaphouse5235]

why is it on soooo many of yours and others disney video, the patrons rarely look happy... is this not the funnest most magical place on earth... yet everyone looks like they just got mugged then charged for the privilege.. im pretty sure the people screaming on the rides are doing so because they final got on a ride and are making the most of it as it will likely be hours before they get on another EDIT, maybe a video on something that will actually make vacationers happy, like where the good bars are amd which are hand for a pub crawl, places there progeny can be dumped for a few hours

[@Asterisk.17]

Honestly, I found her videos incredibly helpful while I was planning our family trip that we took this past May. We were able to do and see most everything we set out to do. If we hadn't gotten sick the last two days, we would have done everything we wanted. Her content is free. While I'm sure she appreciates the suggestions, if you find it unsatisfactory, there are plenty of other free content creators you could try.

[@magickittenz]

I know you get loads of views, but I really mean this, I want to unsubscribe, the titles just aren't matching the expectation of the contents anymore, i watched every video on release, now it's wasting my time. I hope you improve the quality so that it's up to interesting fresh again.
