We're going to Disney World this Christmas. I'm not really a huge Disney person, so this video really helped!

[@TheFrugalBrit]

😁

[@jean-claudelol563]

The first time I went to Disney World you would buy ticket booklets to ride. People tended to ride only what they wanted since they were paying per ride. The lines were relatively short, seldom more than 5 to 10 minutes. No one is going to look at a line that is an hour or more long and say... hey I will pay for that line. So it was a real magical experience. You spent a lot of time enjoying what you paid for, very little time standing in line under a blazing hot sun and humidity. Today you pay through the nose to get into the park, everyone wants to ride everything because they've paid so much for their ticket, and they spend all day in line, under the heat and humidity. I can only imagine how disappointment it must be for first timers that expect what I experienced on my first visit there but today they get overpriced admission, over priced parking, over priced food, crowds, long lines, heat and humidity.

[@TheFrugalBrit]

I know what you mean, I’m very nostalgic for the way things were in the 90s 😢

[@jonathanrupert5592]

Me too ... May 2022

[@MattGamerUtlimate]

Love the video! Some very good tips in there! Also one important thing to note about Walt Disney World is it’s distance from the Orlando International Airport and International Drive as many I’ve spoken to in the past have thought Disney world is near I Drive like Universal and SeaWorld is. If your staying offsite then definitely spend that bit extra on a hire car as it will make your journeys so much easier and more convient.

[@TheFrugalBrit]

Thanks Matthew! Yeah personally it’s either car hire or ubers for me when staying off site. Off site resort transport is very hit and miss (mostly miss).

[@BigTom1289]

Can you do a video on finding flights/accomodation/car hire/tickets ect in one simple video, I've landed on this channel seeing frugal brit, thinking they'll be plenty of money saving tips for somebody who's never been, so far it's just reviews, good but not what we all need lol. Keep up the good work!

[@TheFrugalBrit]

Thank you, that’s a really good point well made! I definitely have some frugal tips videos that I’ve already started writing. You may have just motivated me to work on them sooner than I had planned! Thanks for watching, feedback like this is really valuable.

Could only imagine what EPCOT Would have actually been with the way Walt Disney actually imagined it. Might have been something that would have been years ahead of its time (no punt intended) he had a great imagination look where Disney World has gone and how far it has evolved almost 50 years now

Yeah I think the Disney story is fascinating. I could do several videos about the history but would probably be too indulgent. Thanks for watching!

So useful! You said you had authorized third party ticket sellers but they aren’t linked in your description! Do you still have those links?

[@TheFrugalBrit]

Hi, following some bad experiences I’ve heard about during the pandemic I’m not recommending third party ticket sellers for the time being. Of course, you can purchase directly from Disney for very similar prices.

[@markdonnelly1968]

My partner and I are planning to go to Disney world over spring break and we are college students so we are trying to do things as cheap as possible. We are planning to stay for 4 nights and are likely to use the parks for 2/3 days. Where would you recommend we get our tickets/what tickets do you think we should get? Thank you for the great video it was really informative

[@TheFrugalBrit]

I would go for the ‘1 park per day’ ticket. You can choose how many days you want on the website. You might also want to check somewhere like undercovertourist.com to see if they’re doing them cheaper. To save as much money as possible, I’d recommend the Rosen Inn Lake Buena Vista hotel.

[@dierglard8675]

great video, also i would like to ask what are the 2 best parks in Disney world

[@thatguyrich9822]

You could ask 10 people and get 10 different answers.

[@TheFrugalBrit]

I’m not sure I’d be able to rank them unfortunately 🙈 But I probably have the most fun in Hollywood Studios,

[@averagecheeseenjoyer890]

@The Frugal Brit - Orlando Could you provide some third party links? thx

[@TheFrugalBrit]

For UK google ‘Attraction Tickets’ or Floridatix. For US google ‘undercover tourist’ or ‘dreams unlimited travel’ 👍😁

[@swaroopjohn2398]

Which parks have better day and night shows? or must-see day/night shows? as I may only be able to see night shows for 2-3 parks at most.

[@deyhydratedslime2003]

Could you answer this for me mate do you have to pay to go to each park so do you like book a park so say I book Epcot and animal kingdom. Is that how it works I thought you get use to all the parks

[@TheFrugalBrit]

Apologies for the late reply, but basically you pay for your tickets which will apply to any park, then for each day of your visit you need to reserve a park. You can only reserve one park per day, but if you purchase the park hopper add on, you travel to another park after 14:00.

[@iamshannooo]

Can you put the TimeStamps in your descriptions! It would be super helpful 😋

[@TheFrugalBrit]

Thanks for the feedback. Yeah I plan to sort this when I get the chance. Thanks for watching!

[@ashleycox2538]

Hi mate. Going to Orlando next year.. are you using a GoPro to film?

[@TheFrugalBrit]

My current setup is DJI pocket 2 (great for walking around footage), and I also have a Fujifilm x-s10 mirrorless camera 16-80mm (not so great for vlogging). Over the years I've also used various iPhones with DJI gimbals, as well as gopros. A GoPro will be your most versatile camera for vlogging in Orlando, in particular for the water parks. But unfortunately not the best for night footage.

[@Crazyarchfiend]

I’m surprised there isn’t more Disney movies themed rides and “lands” . Seems like a waste of all those IPs

[@TheFrugalBrit]

Yeah I think Disney likes to keep it balanced. Some fans prefer the traditional non IP lands and attractions.

[@jazmin8461]

Do you have any more tips and tricks for first time visitors?

[@TheFrugalBrit]

Yeah I did a ‘sneaky tips’ video which may be useful 👍😁

[@edvaira6891]

Very thorough and entertaining! One minor correction, however...Animal Kingdom is NOT the largest zoo in the world (11:43); it’s 580 plus acres doesn’t even put it in the top 5, believe it or not (I only know this because I live only a couple of miles from the San Diego Zoo Safari Park which, at 1800 acres, actually IS the largest zoo park in the USA, and I worked there for about four years)

[@TheFrugalBrit]

Oh did I say zoo? I meant largest theme park. Great knowledge as always!

[@TheFrugalBrit]

Ps thank you for the kind feedback!

[@stevenrojas8251]

Is it true that I have to buy two tickets in October??? I’ve heard from someone that you have to pay for two tickets In October because of Halloween and that if you don’t they kick you out early. I can’t seem to find any information on it

[@TheFrugalBrit]

You only have to buy a second ticket if you want to purchase tickets for Mickey’s not so scary Halloween Party (or Boo Bash during pandemic) after last closure. It’s 100% not essential to buy the extra ticket, but can be a cool way to enjoy the rides with low wait times.

[@jackskellingtonsora]

7:30 You're filming in reverse. I work at Small World and Peter Pan's Flight and that just threw me completely off because everything's on the opposite side.

[@TheFrugalBrit]

That’s cool, how’s it been for you during the pandemic?

[@jackskellingtonsora]

@@TheFrugalBrit We all have to wear masks and shields. It's definitely harder to be heard with all that. You kind of have to shout a little. But there's no fastpass, which is very nice. When they get to the end of Pan, they've only waited 15-30 minutes instead of 1-2 hours. So people are not nearly as pissed off. It's definitely hard to get people to follow the six feet apart rule though. Most of the time they do it, but sometimes there's that family that will continue staying on top of people like we never closed. And, of course, most people wear their masks, but sometimes there's a family that just won't keep it on when you ask them.

[@ThePinhead1987]

Hello sorry what's the best 3rd party sites for both Universal and Disney Park tickets ?

Hi Nick. Yeah sorry about this, basically after the pandemic hit, I heard a lot of stories about people having trouble getting refunds from third party companies, so I’m hesitant to make any recommendations for tickets for the time being, other than purchasing directly from Disney.

[@fionawheeler5176]

Hiya we are travelling as a family of 5 next year for the first time. We will have an 18, 16 and 13 year old with us. We will hope to be there for 18 days. What parks would you recommend for us to visit ?

[@TheFrugalBrit]

I think it really depends on how long you are staying for, and whether you’re doing just Disney or other parks too. For that age group I would prioritise Hollywood Studios, Islands of Adventure, Volcano Bay, Magic Kingdom and Universal Studios. But of course you can’t miss Magic Kingdom. SeaWorld is great too. Too many good parks in Orlando!

This is really the WORST of what Florida has to offer. I really hope you didn't waste too much time in this crowded, sweltering, mosquito infested, exploitive tourist trap! It's like $15 for a simple soda, and you have to sneak in liquor and pour it into a flask in your hotel room for walking around and stuff, and steathily pour it into your hyper expensive soda. Food is OUTRAGEOUS in the resort, and a decent meal costs as much as you would spend on a weeks worth of groceries. Second, I don't know why you would go there as a grown man unless you have children. And even then, you children would have to be kind of dumb and infantile to enjoy themselves there. I remember going there as a kid, and was underwhelmed. Epcot was really the only somewhat OK part of it. On subsequent trips to florida, we skipped it entirely. There's much better low key and relaxed places to visit in Florida. One time we visited Ocean World, which was a knock off of sea world, but better because they don't beat the animals and stuff. Sea World got pissed and had fake animal rights activist shill sue to shut it down because they were threatened by it. Anyway, florida has sea fishing (cheap charters), all different types of beaches (from family oriented to places to pick up chicks), fantastic nature preserves where you can see rare birds and alligators, jetski and parasailing, motorcycle tours, cool museums, airshows, good barbecue and world class sea food, friendly girls, the list goes on and on. Don't get conned into attending miserable, sweltering crowded hellholes like Walt Sleazy World!
