Never be embarrassed by getting joy from things like your old Teddy or being in a place you love. The way the world is today, we all need to celebrate every little bit of love and joy that we can gather.

[@lparky4409]

Whoever bought your teddy must have had a premonition that rainbows would feature in your life. I bought my daughter a teddy bear with tokens I had collected from the local shop when she was 2 and at the age of 39 it's still in her bed!

[@quizasusa3578]

Ben: “I’m one of those Disney adults and I don’t give a damn!” 🙂 Even though I was a single mom living barely above poverty level, I took my then-10 year old daughter to Disney World. We spent 20+ hours taking a train from Massachusetts. My daughter, now in her 40s, lives so close to the park she watches the fireworks from her back garden. She worked for Disney for years. My British born son in law is an arborist with his own business and 99% of the time contracts to work in the parks. After living in FL 20+ years they still buy annual passes and play/eat in the parks. My daughter said to me “When you brought me to Disney when I was 10 you had no idea what you started!” 😂 Once bit, you never outgrow it!

[@sherrjo]

My son did, at 7 he said he didn't want cuddles from strange men in costumes...😅 Can't argue with that. 😊😊

Fun fact....my husband proposed to me during the Wishes finale as well. We had rented a pontoon boat at the Grand Floridian marina and the captain had parked us right in front of the entrance to Magic Kingdom. We were watching the fireworks, then during the finale, my husband proposed. It was perfect.

1700 for 9 nights is really reasonable. Even if you have a mere 4 people which that house could easily accommodate that's actually inexpensive.

Especially when you consider having a kitchen to offset breakfast, snacks etc! I’m impressed honestly.

My last trip (2019) I was the youngest person in the reservation. 73 years old and was in Disneyland 1955!!

[@acefox1]

My family and I were just exploring the idea of planning a Disney World trip in 2025 or 2026. The more we started thinking about the crowds and running the numbers on the expenses the more we kept asking, “Wouldn’t we be MUCH happier and have more fun taking a cruise?” Even an expensive Disney cruise would be more cost effective than a week at Disney World.

[@xavierminchello8431]

YES! CRUISE IS GREAT FUN! UNLIMITED FOOD AND FUN! IF YOU GET TIRED YOU JUST GO TO YOUR ROOM AND CHILL. LOL

[@TenkawaBC]

Do both :) -Disney World gets more reasonable at 5 days (the per day rate is much cheaper) -Early May (pre-memorial day) is a great time with low crowds (other than May 4th at Hollywood Studios) -Tack on a Disney Cruise out of Port Canaveral or Port Miami. Note: If you stay at a Disney Hotel, you can also get a transport to the ship (additional cost) -Look into DVC rental store (or other DVC rental stuff) as the DVC locations in Disney World are amazing, especially with a larger number of people. -Avoid all holidays (spring break, memorial day, christmas) and summer. Ask me how I know :)

[@acefox1]

@@TenkawaBC Just for a family of 3 adults going to WDW for just 4 days the park tickets are $1200. Add another $300 for Genie+ for each person for all 4 days, that’s $1500. Food for each person for 4 days, let’s be frugal and budget $100 for the whole group per day. That brings the total to $1900 so far. If we rent DVC points or stay off property cheap that’s at least $200 per night, so $2,700 total so far for 4 days in the parks. That’s about $225 per person per night. Most likely a lot more than that. 3 people can sail on the Sept 24-28, 2025 Halloween-themed 4-night sailing on the Disney Magic for that price.

[@lizarichards2243]

$500 for a one-day pass for 2 people??? That's ridiculous! We stopped going to Disney when we found out that we can get a 2 week unlimited pass at Bush Gardens (90 minutes away from Disney) for the same prices as ONE DAY at Magic Kingdom! 2 weeks! For the same cost as ONE DAY! Crazy!

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Excuse me?? What did you say about Living with the Land?!? 🍃 this will not be tolerated! 😂

Main Street smells sweet on purpose. They pump the smells from the confectionery out onto Main Street. Disney never misses a trip. Laughed so hard as you walked through the UK Pavilion. Congrats on 10 years! ❤

[@robertfoerster566]

Honestly, the money is one thing. Having to spend that much money and still have to plan your day like a office administrator, is quite another. I've heard from more than a few people of being unable to do/ride/enjoy this or that and fled back to their resort. You pay all that money and are left to "figure it" out like feral wolves! ;)

[@Traveler-nu8xc]

I love living with the land, especially with the Christmas lights during the season.

Living with the Land is iconic. This fact is not debatable.

[@emilyboller7588]

We rode Carousel of Progress three times in two days just so we could sit down in the air conditioning for a few minutes. We also rode the People Mover twice to sit down and enjoy the shade. We went two years ago in June and I was armed with a whole list of places we could find AC without paying anything extra.

[@layne3530]

Sounds miserable tbh 😂

[@ACCollins-gc5ze]

My mother and father were born and lived in Florida thru their college years. This was way before Disney of Course. I first saw the Carousel of Progress in New York at the World's Fair. This may sounds nuts but imagine a child moaning about having to go to Disney World again because we have family friends visiting from out of state. I was that spoiled brat.

[@LostInSpice]

A trick at the parking areas is to take a picture of which row you are on. They're painted on the end space where the tram picks up.

[@lisablaus1459]

I do the same thing for long term airport parking!

[@ryansymes8845]

Disney is having really low attendance if you can get a table at space 220 last minute. That restaurant usually is book’s up 60 days + in advance.

[@sha2596]

No, Disney not too long ago changes the cancellation policies for reservations. Making it a 2 hr prior policy instead of 24 hrs. This allows you to cancel dining closer to the reservation time if you plans change, which makes less people hoard tons of dining reservations like they used to. So the day of availability due to cancellation is much better than in past years.

[@chrisfoxwell4128]

(yes)....Disneyworld does have very low attendance currently.

[@patchgatsby9138]

Between David's singing and Ben's bear this is a like for sure.

[@gurugnorm]

I must share. I grew up with Disneyland. I was 8 when it opened. We had ticket books A-B-C-D-and the expensive E tickets. We always had leftover A-B-C that never expired. My Grandmothers used to take me alone for a special day. Adult General Admission was $5.95. Children were $3.95. They'd sit on a bench and talk while rode everything nearby. Fire Truck, Horse Drawn Carriage. Then they'd move farther along. Carousel, Mr. Toad, etc. My Father was a volunteer fireman and worked for the City of San Clemente. Disney would have "Public Employees Night" for TWENTY DOLLARS A FAMILY!!! Usually evenings 6-12am. Naturally we went at least yearly or more often!!

My husband and I had our honeymoon at Disney world years ago! I won the trip and we had the best time. The park staff gave us buttons saying "Just Married" so the staff throughout the park would congratulate us. It was really fun and made us feel very welcome. Disney just does everything so well.

Space 220 is great, but definitely do the “Lounge” rather than prix fixe. The bartender makes special “space shots” that you can illuminate with your phone camera flashlight and watch it sparkle.

Steven Twinnings comes to visit Epcot and meet people at the tea shop in England. He answers any questions you have about tea and his visits every 6 months to Buckingham Palace. I asked him what was the tea HRH Queen Elizabeth drank (she drank Twinnings) but he couldn't tell me. Apparently it's a blend only 3 people ever knew. Steven was one of them. He's a very nice man and interesting to talk too. I have three pictures I've taken with him three different years starting about 16 years ago. I hope he comes back soon. I'll never get to England but I feel close to it when I go to Epcot.
