Please start adding chapters so we can easily maneuver to each tip. This is beneficial if we want to skip a tip or rewatch. Thanks

10:44 Drawn to Life, it is pricey side, believe the cheapest tickets are around $75 per person, they may have changed. My wife and I went last March and we were blown away by how amazing this show is. She has seen most of Cirque de Soleil, and she said this was probably her favorite. It's such a great show.

"Chicken strips and fries are just spoons for the sauces." I like your thinking, AJ

Don't need to worry about 'ride lines'? We tend to rope drop Gideons and there is normally a line. One day Disney will probably offer Individual Lightning Lane for Gideons. We added a day to our Disney Cruise trip to focus on Disney Springs, Eet is very unique is priced well (priced well for a Disney area food).

Here’s a tidbit about Raglan Road. I went solo but wanted to try everything. I ordered the famous soup (delish), the shepherds pie (huge), and the bread-and butter pudding (gigantic.) After a few bites, i just could not eat any more of the wonderful pudding, so i gave it to the couple sitting next to me, who loved it. The entertainment was fantastic. I asked my waiter to put a $20 bill in the musicians’ tip jar, and ended up getting a special visit from two of the dancers with an official Irish dancer sticker! (Even though i really can’t dance at all with my bad ankle!) i had also brought a little goodie bag along in case i could pixie dust someone, and in a long table near me there was a girl celebrating (I think) her 13th birthday. So i went over to give it to her. All in all, a fantastic experience, though i had some stomach trouble later due to overeating!

AJ! THANK YOU SO MUCH for telling me about House of Blues! I am a connoisseur of bread pudding and HANDS DOWN, the dessert from there is STELLAR!! I took your advice several years ago and EVERY time I go to either Disney or Universal, I make a special trip just for the bread pudding.

We use line garage and go on evenings and weekends there is never a wait !😊

I dont think people should park at Disney Springs to go to the theme parks. If enough people follow that tip, there wont be enough parking for DS visitors and Disney will start charging to park at Disney Springs, like Universal does when you go to CityWalk.

[joebinienda]

Thank you for the tips.
Sometime I think you missed:
The orange garage will also let you enter by Planet Hollywood and the Coca-Cola store.

It was so much simpler when we went to 1973 and all you needed was a ticket book with the best rides requiring an E ticket. E ticket a name that most of the travelers to Disney today won’t even know what it means. I almost choked when I saw the price of the ears. I remember I have my original black ears with my name on them so does my ex so do my children. And because we went to August, my dad made sure that we all had hats and we still have them and like I said we went in 1973 seven of us flew for $803 round.-round-trip the biggest mistake that we made was that we rented a car because the whole week we were in Disney and you have to remember only the magic kingdom was open. Then Epcot was still being built, but we spent a week there. I don’t think there was anything we didn’t do on our last night. My dad bought a couple of more tickets so that we could go on the carousel while he went into. What was the Disney store then and bought my mom the biggest Mickey Mouse that there was because, as we drove away to go down to Fort Lauderdale to see my grandparents, my mother was crying. Although we never return to Disney as a family, it was always the payoff for my mother when she had to go down to Fort Lauderdale with my dad to take care of my grandparents. I would return to Disney and my married life four times twice just with my husband and twice with my husband and my children. My husband and children traveling together was an absolute disaster. He almost shoved my head into the brick wall outside the Hilton hotel, where we were staying With him for two or three years after that to the best of my knowledge, my children have never returned to Disney? my daughter who went multiple times when she was married, said she would never take her children there because it was too expensive. What did she think it was when her father and I took her. My son has no interest in returning his birthday was totally destroyed by my husband‘s ignorant and outrageous behavior, unfortunately now the name, Disney leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

[chantellvanleer]

So glad to here you give a shoutout to the Bread Pudding at House of Blues! I don’t hear enough Disney pros taking about it!!

[PlantCozyGamerJess]

Thank you for all the help with planning my Disney trip! Love the videos and all you guys!

[Traveler-nuxc]

Man that bread pudding is making me hungry ! IMO Summer House cookies are better than Gideons, the latter are too rich for me.

[birbluv]

P.S. you are so right about the evening and nighttime crowds at DS! I was there on a Saturday night and could hardly move!
