My Disney World & Universal Plan October 2015

[@giannam2841]

Just some tips for your trip that really made mine a lot more smooth sailing! 1. since you're only getting 2 meals per day and breakfast may not be one every day you go, buy a box of cereal to eat in the hotel room when you wake up 2. get to wizarding world of Harry potter when it opens and go to the escape from gringotts ride first, that queue gets very very long during the day and it's an amazing ride! 3. keep ponchos in your bag everywhere you go!!! I can't stress that one enough. you never know with the Florida weather when it will rain, plus if you wanna go on a water ride (splash mountain, jurrasic park in universal) but don't wanna get soaked you can wear the poncho on the ride! hope you have an amazing trip!

[@babybeazle3144]

You've planned this like an absolute pro! Honestly, your choice of restaurants and your combinations of fastpass choices on different days are spot on! You're gonna have the most incredible time!

[@EllieSteadman]

+BabyBeazle thank you lovely!! I hope so!x

[@Kittykatgoroar4]

I absolutely love your Disney videos! We're going to Florida next summer and it's so daunting, especially because we're going right in the summer holidays! I can't wait to start planning but it's going to be hard to fit everything in haha!

[@EllieSteadman]

+EmilyOfAdarlan thank you so much! You will have an amazing time, make use of fast pass and you'll get lots done!x

[@SRevely95]

+EmilyOfAdarlan My biggest tip for you if you're going to any parks is go for the opening! I know it's hard to get out of bed hahaha, but me and my family have just been middle of July-middle of August and by going for the opening of each park we managed to do EVERYTHING we wanted to do!

[@EllieSteadman]

***** I'll be there at park opening every day haha!

[@SRevely95]

It's the best way to get the big wait lines out of the way! Did it kill part of my soul to get up at 5:30am? Absolutely. But we got on Mine Train, Space Mountain, Peter Pan's Flight and met Anna, Elsa, Cinderella and Rapunzel all in the first hour of opening without any fastpasses so TOTALLY worth it!

[@Kittykatgoroar4]

+JustSydnee It does! I love the series, not many people get the reference haha!

[@hannahw4285]

I'm going next year after my exams for the third time and this video had made me so excited! I'm super excited for more of your videos to get me through the school year:)) x

[@amymartin5032]

islands of adventure was my favourite park when I went to florida (rollercoaster wise anyway!). Didn't get the chance to go to busch gardens and harry potter wasn't open when I was there, definitely top of my list if/when I get to go back. you are so organised, your trip sounds amazing!

[@freya3378]

I love your Disney videos I am in Florida right now and I have been for the last 2 weeks. I am so sad that tomorrow is my last day it is defiantly the most amazing experience and even though this is my 5th time I still get goosebumps when I walk into the Magic Kingdom.

[@graceclarkson5478]

Awwww we always do crystal palace on our first morning because it is always such a lovely way to start the holiday! Xx 💕💕

[@EllieSteadman]

+Victoria Clarkson I cannot wait!!x

[@brookeknight7391]

I Totally think you should go as belle and your friend Amber as Tigger. A great way to do this is called Disney bounding, this is where you dress up as your favourite characters but not in proper costume if you know what I mean. For example for belle you could wear any yellow dress or for the 'peasant dress' a white shirt, a blue pinafore and a white apron and for tigger Amber could wear a orange top and black jeans and a orange cardigan and black shoes. Hopes this helps for the costume

[@maddiemavro]

im super pumped for you! i was in WDW in July and if there's one piece of advice i have for you, it's to take some time every day and rest! although it's so tempting to be on the go all the time, by the end of the trip you'll be physically dead if you don't take a few hours break every day. xxx

[@EllieSteadman]

+maddiem We will definitely make sure to spend some time relaxing, even for us if it's a long lunch. I don't think we want to spend that much time at the hotel but we will make sure to chill each day! :)xx

[@KristinSusanBernadette]

I'm leaving for Disney World today, and i'm watching this before i leave and it's making me SO EXCITED! your disney videos are my FAVORITE! :)

[@EllieSteadman]

+Kristin Susan Bernadette have a great time!!

[@AlicePreece]

This was just the best plan video ever. I could literally just re-watch this video over and over again. Oh my goodness I'm such a Disney nerd! :')

[@EllieSteadman]

+Aliboomba thank you so much, so glad you liked it!x

[@beckylouiseex]

Love watching your Disney videos, make's me wish I was back there and had another trip booked!!

[@joiviolette]

Ellie... your vacation sounds amazing! I can't wait to see all the videos! We went in June and it was so amazing! I love Disney so much and have gone quite a bit I my life. I have children now and they are loving it just the same. Thanks for sharing and we'll see you soon!

[@EllieSteadman]

+Joi Violette thank you so much! x

[@BecPhillips94]

Sounds like an amazing plan! I made a spreadsheet for our trip too & it basically looks the same as yours with all the park hours & everything like that! We're defo very alike haha! xx

[@abihoper5755]

I love your videos, Ellie! Even though I'm going to Disneyland in Anaheim this Christmas, your planning videos really helps me plan! Thank you x

[@Cathleen425]

I'll be at Magic Kingdom the 8th, Animal Kingdom the 9th, Magic Kingdom the 10th, Epcot the 11th, and Magic Kingdom the 12th! We have similar days! Hope to see you there!

[@EllieSteadman]

+Cathleen Levato Yay, I will see you there!!x

[@davidb9155]

I enjoy watching your vlogs on Disney, and I've been very excited with the planning of my trip to Walt Disney World in the next 2 weeks. It is interesting to learn about the planning process for international visitors The only difference with US citizens is free dining for a moderate resort is the disney dining plan, so I was surprised to hear that you had to pay extra for the regular dining plan. I have been planning my vacation from the beginning of this year. I have also enjoyed waiting for each milestone from 180 days, 60 days and 45 days - when my package had to be paid off in full. I would love to goto Universal Studios, but my vacation is only for a week. I hope you enjoy your vacation here in the United States.

[@hufflefairy9676]

I'm going next week and I'm extra excited. I've also planned and booked my fastpasses. All there's left is to wait patiently, but I'm failing majorly.

[@EllieSteadman]

+hufflefairy It will be here before you know it!! Have a fab time :) x

[@eleanorburling2039]

Ellie I love you videos!!! I'm going to Disney for three days with my family for my Easter Break. Your videos have helped me so much with planning and always put me in a good mood! Also we have almost the same name!

[@EllieSteadman]

+Eleanor Burling I'm actually an Eleanor so we do have the same name :) Have fun at Easter!

[@issyfarmer7122]

I would definitely recommend going to the Mall Of Millenia instead of the Florida mall, I think it is a lot nicer inside and the food court is a lot better x

[@FndngHufflepuff]

Also I went to Diagon Alley last year and its amazing. The ride through Gringotts is a ton of fun. The Hogwarts Express is just....I can't even. I cried like a baby when I rode it the first time.

[@EllieSteadman]

+FndngHufflepuff I cannot wait to go on it!!

[@grahamcharters1638]

Hi Ellie! Its that sad day when you get on that plane to come home today. :-( But I'm sure you had a great time! I just wanted to say how much I enjoy watching your videos and soaking up your enthusiasm. My wife and I get out to WDW as often as we can (3 times just in 2013!!!!) and can't get enough of it. Our next trip is in two weeks time (2nd November), and there is still so much to do. WDW is like peeling the layers of an onion - every visit takes you deeper. So sorry our trips didn't overlap - it would have been great to meet you in person. And here's to your NEXT trip 8:-)

[@EllieSteadman]

+Graham Charters I am at the airport tight now :( It was fantastic thank you. You are so sweet, thank you so much for the kind words. That is amazing, I am very jealous of you. Have a fantastic time. You will be there when Joe and Ashley from See Ya Reel Soon are there!x

[@grahamcharters1638]

+Ellie Steadman Well, we just got back, and I just wanted to tell you about my WDW bucket list... This trip, I got to wake up Jose at the Enchanted Tikki Room, and also to steer the Liberty Belle from the wheelhouse. The smile on my face was so wide, I thought the top of my head would come off!

[@EllieSteadman]

that all sounds fantastic! So glad you had fun!

[@grahamcharters1638]

+Ellie Steadman A tip for next time you go to see Wishes. I know the classic viewing location is Main St USA and the Hub, but try it from BEHIND the castle - next to Cinderella Carousel... it's much quieter crowd-wise (no waiting) and the fireworks are all around you, above you, etc. Magic. I always cry at Wishes.

[@magdalenawojtkowiak2368]

omg, sounds incredible, Ellie! for sure you'll have a magical time there! can't wait to see the vlogs!

[@EllieSteadman]

+Madeline 1706 thank you Madeline!x

[@DREAMHippo9]

October is the best time to go. Summer is too crowded and hot ad Jan-April you run into the hordes of Brazilian Tour Groups (their summer vacation) and then US spring breakers.

[@BeatriceHooper]

This was so helpful! I'm going to Disneyland Paris with my school next year and it's just for a day so this helped me plan it out a little bit xxx

[@diegoolayo1628]

You should try the Fantasy Gardens Minigolf is amazing, is located nest to Swan & Dolphins Hotel.

[@emsypickle8140]

Your trip sounds so amazing! I would do anything to go to Harry Potter World! Can't wait to see your vlogs etc :D So impressed with your organisation skills too, you should seriously set up a Disney Holiday Planning company! Xxx

[@EllieSteadman]

+Emsy Pickle Thank you! I cannot wait to do HP, it's going to be magical! Thanks lovely, I'd love to do that!xx

[@panyabear]

California Grill.....LOVE IT!!!! Don't know what time your reservation is, but don't forget to ask for a table where you can see the fireworks going off in MK. It makes the meal that much better (as if it isn't great enough :D ) If you got time, I recommend the breakfast buffet at Boma in the Animal Kingdom Lodge. It's huge with American and African flavors. We're heading there in two weeks for about a week. Have fun. And if I got time, my little sister and I will go there when you're there and see if we can spot you! Oh yeah, Fulton's Crab House in Downtown Disney is good if you like seafood.

[@EllieSteadman]

+panya severa we have booked it for 8.45 so we will be there for the fireworks, fingers crossed we get a window seat, if not we will go watch on the viewing platform! Sadly we don't have time for Boma on this trip but I'd love to eat there one day (and stay at AKL). Have a fab time when you go soon! Would be fab to see you in October if you are around!!x

[@corielee8351]

The hogwarts express is incredible!!! You will love it!!

[@DarkAndTwisty7]

Me and my best friend go to Florida next Sunday!!! So excited to see your videos of your trip!

[@EllieSteadman]

+Becky - DarkAndTwisty7 amazing, have a magical time!!x

[@celesteb2193]

Looking forward to the live periscopes! Have a great trip. I will follow in November.

[@EllieSteadman]

+Celeste B Thank you!x

[@KatieAlice_]

Hun that was great!!!! So so excited for you! I'm seriously going to get you to plan my next Disney trip! X

[@EllieSteadman]

+Kate Trayler thanks lovely, would definitely be up for helping!x

[@maxpotter2403]

If possible try to go on Test Track in Epcot. It's not a roller coaster but do go pretty fast and is amazing!

[@princessnikimouse7421]

I am going to Disney World next Summer, but I already want to start planning! This definitely gave me some ideas for planning! I just love your videos! :)

[@EllieSteadman]

+PrincessNikiMouse Thank you so much!x

[@Fromthesouthblog]

This is so exciting! I'll actually be working in the Starbucks in Epcot while you're there, maybe I'll see you. I hope you have an amazing time, it's coming up soon!

[@EllieSteadman]

+FromTheSouth amazing, I'll come and try to find you!! x

[@lesliebonnie3715]

I've enjoyed your videos. I'm getting ready for a trip to Disney World in October. We plan to visit The Magic Kingdom on October 17th too. This is my 7th trip to Walt Disney World. I've stayed at the Contemporary Resort, Coronado Springs, The Polynesian Resort, the Animal Kingdom Lodge, and this will be my first stay at the Grand Floridian. Can't wait!!

[@EllieSteadman]

+Leslie Bonnie Thank you so much Leslie. I hope I get to see you there. How amazing that you are staying there, what a lovely experience!x

[@weekaren87]

my next trip to orlando is next may 13th-30thand will be my 4th time, we always start our day off at island of adventures by going on the hulk ride which is guaranteed to wake you up at 9am lol, I was there last may but just missed out by a few weeks of the new part of harry potter opening so im looking forward to that next year, butter beer is a must! minions ride is good in the universal studios but was definitely one of the longest queues, single rider is best on the mummy ride at universal studios as you end up on the same ride as the people your with anyway.

[@disneyadvicewithemily8652]

You really helped with our Disney Holiday! I really love your videos!

[@EllieSteadman]

+Disney Advice With Emily I'm so glad!

[@kai5621]

We also brought our tickets with attraction tickets direct , and bought the Disney and Universal Combo ticket

[@EllieSteadman]

+Kai'sDailyLife Amazing!!x

[@AmysSurpriseBoxes]

We went to Florida last August for two weeks and it was amazing! We did Disney, universal, shopping and waterworld oh and discovery cove. The Harry Potter in universal was one of my highlights it's truly breathtaking! Totally jealous. However we r currently booking to go Disneyland Paris. Have an amazing time and I'll look forward to the vlogs x

[@EllieSteadman]

+Amy “AmysSurpriseBoxes” That sounds amazing! xx

[@AmysSurpriseBoxes]

+Ellie Steadman it really was. Here if anyone wants some help and advice :-) xxx

[@EllieSteadman]

Amy Thank you!x

[@alylin01]

Ahh you're so lucky I'm jealouss!! I just got back from my Orlando Disney and Universal vacation less than a week ago and going through post Disney depression because I've been planning and looking forward to it for so long and now it's done and...now I don't have something fun to look forward to :( I hope your vacation is greatt I love Disney so much and I enjoy watching your videos

[@EllieSteadman]

+lacegirlrocks I hope you had a fantastic time! Thank you!x

[@Nikkijfxx]

I've been to Orlando 12 times and have number 13 planned already, some people just wing it but planning is definitely the key when it comes to Orlando..and like you said nothing is set in stone :) hope you have a fab time :)

[@EllieSteadman]

+Nikki Foulkes Thank you!x

[@LauraCYMFT]

This is a great video Ellie. So much information. I loved the planning part. Now it's just waiting to go! Maybe see you there :)

[@sophiejones4181]

This was an amazing video! Please do more like this xxx

[@LauraCYMFT]

Ooo meant to add, 12th October is Columbus Day. Big sales for shopping!

[@smilepreetyinpink]

I know space mountain sounds daunting, but I'm not a fan of most roller coasters like you and found it much easier than big thunder mountain. If it helps you can compare the difference between how fast they are and how big the drop is and you'll find space mountain to be far easier!

[@EllieSteadman]

+smilepreetyinpink If I can compare the differences and find out what the drops are like in Space that would definitely help! I'll look into it :) Thank you xx

[@ridgech]

I'll also be at Disney in October. Make sure you make time for the Food and Wine Festival at Epcot.

[@EllieSteadman]

+Chris Ridgeway I hope to see you there! I'll be spending a lot of time eating and F&W haha!

[@ridgech]

I am so jealous of you I really want to go to Disney florida, but it is the planing and everything. I have just come back from Disney land paris and it was amazing although I have been 6 times it will ever be enough x love you Ellie and hope u have a wonderful time Disney xx

[@EllieSteadman]

Ashleigh Brady yep I am vlogging!

[@itsgemmma]

Great video, I will refer back to it when I finally get to go to WDW. I totally agree about attraction tickets direct I booked with them for DLP and its so much easier than getting a paper voucher. Saw people in the queue to get in with them and laughed because they had to join a separate queue haha (I'm so mean) xxx

[@EllieSteadman]

+itsgemmma Thank you lovely! xx

[@katieandbaby9]

Hi Ellie! Love this planning has really helped me...we are staying in a universal hotel can we still book fast passes to meet Anna & Elsa,Mickey etc....If so how do you book them and is it up to 60 days before you go? Also can we make dinner/breakfast reservations even if we are not staying in a disney hotel?Thanks hun xxx

[@EllieSteadman]

+Katie&Baby Hi! Thank you :) Yep as long as you've set up a My Disney Experience account then you can prebook fast passes 30 days in advance because you aren't staying with Disney. Anyone can make dining reservations, these can be done 180 days in advance! Have fun!

[@pennyburhouse3032]

We're definitely going to be in some of the same places at the same time :) can't wait - too excited now! Xxx

[@EllieSteadman]

+ajnhaswell that's amazing! Please say hi if you see us!x

[@carrierose944]

For Mickey's not so scary Halloween party you have to go as something Belle related! You mentioned getting a replica of her gown made right? Or perhaps you could do more of a disneybound? :) This plan sounds amazing! When I (hopefully) visit DW in the next few years I will definatetly have to come back to this video to help me plan! :)x

[@EllieSteadman]

+Carrie Rose I may see if I can find a good Belle costume in Walmart! :) Thanks so much.

Hi Ellie. Your. Ideas are great really informative. I was wondering if you ever made one in how you arrived at you plan for Disney World. We are going in August and my daughter is dying to start planning. I just have no idea where to begin. Thanks.

[@EllieSteadman]

[@OurDidneeSides]

Us again! Did you also use Uber to get to Universal? We're hoping to get to Theme Park Connection that isn't too far from there. Wondering what costs might be like so we can budget out. Thanks in advance!!

[@EllieSteadman]

+OurDidneeSide I did user Uber and we had no problems. From our hotel it was about 20 dollars each way. If you haven't used uber before have a google as you should be able to find a 30dollar free ride code!

[@clareabellalouise1593]

Hey lovely teppan edo make sure you leave at least two hours for the meal it's beautiful! Can I ask is there a reason your meeting Anna and elsa so many times?? Also the hogwarts exspress is amazing your going to love it!!

[@EllieSteadman]

+ClareaBella Louise I cannot wait to go there. I just blooming love Anna and Elsa haha! And want to meet characters as many times as possible and A&E has the longest wait so makes sense to fastpass it. Can't wait for the Hogwarts Express!

[@ShaunaAhern123]

How do you travel too Universal Studios from your Disney Resort, me and my partner are interested in going to both park and know that Disney provide transport too the parks but we don't know what transport for Universal? Any suggestions?

[@rosiebella9308]

Hi Ellie, I am going to Disney World this Summer with my friend, and I was just wondering if I could ask you a few questions: How you do Walmart? We will be staying onsite this summer, and will not be renting a car. Last trip we went to Walmart on a bus from the Transportation Centre, however I found this took a lot of time out of our day as we had to wait a long time to get the bus back to Disney. We only want to get basics such as bottled water and sweets/chocolate, so do you think it would be worth going to Walmart or just the Hess station near Disney Springs? Also do you know if it's ok to make a ADR for Beaches and Cream just for dessert? I wanted to get an ADR for dinner, but there's only 9pm and 10pm times left for our dates. Additionally, we will have the refillable resort mugs during our stay. My friend doesn't really like fizzy drinks so will most likely just be getting water in hers. Does the water from these drinks machines taste ok, or would you recommend buying bottled water instead? Sorry for so many questions!

[@EllieSteadman]

+Rosie Bella We used Uber to get to Walmart, the mall, Universal etc. It's so much cheaper than all the other taxi's. We didn't want to be waiting around for buses or shared shuttles etc. I think going to Walmart is an experience in itself, especially if you don't have it in your country. We went to stock up on water and snacks but also to buy things we cannot get in the UK. We were only there for about 2 hours but it was so much fun and we got lots of fun things. You should be fine to make an ADR just for desert, I think lots of people do it there. I thought the water from the machines was fine, they do fruit juice, hot drinks and other non fizzy things to! Have a great time :)

[@lauratinson3687]

Thank you so much for making all your fab videos, I really enjoy hearing all your ideas and tips. I'm in the early stages of planning a trip to WDW in September 2016. You mentioned booking a value resort with dining plan on top can be more expensive than a moderate including dining plan, so I will definitely look into that! Also how will you travel to Walmart (for essential snacks & water) and Universal Studios while staying at wdw? Will you use Uber?

[@EllieSteadman]

+Laura Wyer Thank you so much for watching! Definitely compare prices because it was a couple of hundred pounds cheaper to stay in a moderate, get quick service for free then upgrade to standard dining plan instead of staying in a value and paying for the standard dining plan! We will most likely use Uber or Mears taxis. There are buses but I think we'd rather pay for the easiness of a taxi!x

[@masqueradingasanadult6600]

Really enjoyed this video until you got to the 15th of October, then I was "Noooooo! We'll be back home then!" 😭 We'll be there from 30th Sept to 14th Oct, staying at Coronado Springs & All Stars. Your planning sounds a lot like ours except we started off with everything we wanted to do on post its (colour coded of course lol) so we could easily move things around before we made a spreadsheet. Virgin shocked me out of bed this morning as I sleepily read an e-mail from them telling me its only 32 days until we go!

[@EllieSteadman]

+Masquerading As An Adult I hope to see you around! You are going to have such a great time!x

[@masqueradingasanadult6600]

+Ellie Steadman just realised we've got Wishes fast passed for the same night as you, might see you there :) How hard was it to find a night for it with the Halloween parties (which we're going to on the 7th)? I get really emotional whenever I see a Disney or Universal advert ^^;

Loved this, so helpful. I'm hoping to go in Sept next year. Are you planning to go next year as well?! xx

[@EllieSteadman]

+Leona Shopaholic I hope so!x

[@theamericangirlfan0150]

Omg I just missed you I'm going on 22 I was hoping to see you😭

[@EllieSteadman]

+TheAmericanGirlFan 01 that's a shame but I hope you have the most magical time!!x

[@jadehall6106]

I hope you have a lovely holiday Ellie! Your videos are very helpful, Keep up the good work :).I have already started planning my Disney holiday and I don't go until October 2016. Its just too exciting!!! Also, does anyone know where to buy the Mickeys not so scary party tickets? Do you book them in advance or when you arrive?

[@EllieSteadman]

+Jade Hall Thanks Jade! You can book them online. I booked ours around July time when they were released for this year :) xx

[@waynemorrill9593]

love your excitement in the planning, that's what I love doing. but I think you are wasting some of your fastpasses that could be used better.... safari at 9:00 is a walkon, spaceship earth is usually only 10-15mins wait, Indiana Jones has seating for about 1000 so why fastpasses it. apart from that, I am looking forward to your vlogs....although I think you should take some time for yourself and just enjoy the parks without thinking about us....it is a magical place.

[@EllieSteadman]

+wayne morrill Thank you! Everyone heads to safari first thing in the morning so having the fast pass means we can get on it at the earliest time when the animals are most active without having to rush over there. I had to fastpass Spaceship Earth because of how the fastpass tier system is for Epcot. You can have one option from the first tier and two from the second. Spaceship Earth was the only thing from the second tier that could potentially need a fastpass. The same sort of thing with Indiana Jones, they have a two tier system and there wasn't anything else from tier 2 that we would want to do that day.

[@barbjankowski4048]

your videos are just so awesome

[@EllieSteadman]

+Barb Jankowski thank you so much!

[@SavannahDison]

This is making me so excited for my December Trip!! I might be making a video pretty similar to this in October once my Fast Passes have been booked (: (:

[@EllieSteadman]

+Walt's Classics DO it! would love to know your plans :)

[@chloelauragough4588]

How much should I budget to get an uber to universal if staying in Disney? Roughly? Thank you!

[@1peednama]

Hey Ellie great vid!! Just wanted to ask, how are you planning to travel to universal from Disney, as I'm looking for the answer to this too? And will you be going to universal's horror nights or is that too scary 👻

[@EllieSteadman]

+Aman Dhillon we will get a taxi either with Mears or Uber! There are buses and shared shuttles but I think we will just take out own taxis for easiness. We aren't brave enough for horror night haha!x

[@nattybrown]

£130 for two week tickets! 😭 Think its about £480 now with Attraction Tickets!

[@theamericangirlfan0150]

And won't believe I'm staying at the Caribbean beach too

[@Bellastraubb]
