Speaking of magical moments, I took my mother to Disney World for her birthday several years ago. We were going to get on Pirates and one of the cast members noticed my mom's birthday button, he started singing some random birthday song and escorted us right to the front of the line (singing all the way). My mom loved it! 😄

On my honeymoon, the bellhop at the Hollywood Tower Hotel, aka Tower of Terror, stopped us when we were leaving and told us that we had left our luggage in our room, and we had to go back up. We skipped the line, and then asked us AGAIN when we got off the 2nd time! 3 Tower of terrors in a ROW!!!! Magical!

You are so right about "Magical Moments" I was at MK with my 2yr old granddaughter back in April and she was wearing her brand new Bella Princess dress. A cast member saw her and not only complemented her but ask us if we were aware of the "special princess entrance" to the Little Mermaid ride. He proceeded to lead us straight through and onto the ride. It was just a special moment among so many that we will remember for the rest of our lives.

Speaking of magical moments: Back in 2007 my family and I were waiting for the magical express when a cast member walked over to us and told us Disney was rewarding us with a limo to the airport just because. It was really a nice touch and a good memory. We were totally shocked.

We got married in WDW and we're lucky enough to experience several of these things :)
My favorite Magical Moment: At the Haunted Mansion, the CM pulled me aside and asked if I wanted to give the opening spiel. He didn't know I had studied theater, so when I busted out the creepy voice and crazy eyes he was very surprised!

I remember when Bippity Boppity Boutique was JUST starting! My sister was a cast member and Disney had their "Pirates and Princesses" campaign going for the opening week. I got to be one of the first Princesses and Pirates used for training the OG "Fairy Godmothers in Training". I was made up for Pirates, then everything was removed, and I loved on to the next station for the Princesses station. It was a truly magical experience I will NEVER forget...

Re: taking parents to WDW. When my parents were still with us and my kids were young (9 & 6), they all went on the Teacups. I considered the ride a good way to induce nausea. My kids were allowed to control the spin. My parents were both weaving when they came off the ride, my children were both beaming and I was laughing quite a bit. All four loved that experience and I have a great memory from that trip.

I’m actually on the plane to Disney World right now! Ready to have a marvelous time and apply some of your great tips! Thanks and blessings to everyone reading this comment 🏰🎡🎢

I took my mom to Disneyland earlier this year. It’s the first time we ever went together. She went once in the 70s when she was 7, and it was a terrible experience because she was all alone with her parents who were right about to get divorced.

Because of this, she raised me to think Disney was awful. I got to experience it for the first time as an adult, and went at least once a year since then. Finally, at 33, I took my mom (57) back and pretended it was her first time. She loved it. Now she wants all of us to go to DL for my parents 50th anniversary. We’re all Disney fans now.

My family, including two kids under 5, loved spending an afternoon riding the skyliner when we were there last month..
our non park day consisted of breakfast at chef mickeys, riding the resort monorail loop, riding the skyliner many times and lounging by the pool. It was a fantastic day!

I love that AJ is an introvert. When I heard the suggestion to go on crowded holiday days for the extra hype, I was thinking how terrible of an experience that would be for me personally.

Great to know who is more/less introverted so you can pair their ideas with your personality type.

Taking my mom to Flight of Passage was lovely. Her face when she realized we had another fast pass was like she was a little girl.
Eating at prime time grill. Just knowing it exists.
Knowing that every night of the year, there’s a first timer child out at Disney who just had the best day of their whole lives and they can’t believe they’re lucky enough to be on this planet with these people and just when it ends- fireworks start.

I may be a complete fool, but I've just realized Google Maps will give you directions for getting around Disney and quote times and Disney transport to take. I feel so silly not realizing this. Sharing if anyone else hasn't found this! Great way to estimate your travel times! I would consider this the best thing for a future trip. ;)

Have you done a video about the history and evolution of DFB Guide? A sort of behind the scenes for your channel where you introduce all of your team? How does the magic of DFB Guide happen? I would love to see that.

Rise of the Resistance had two hour plus wait times the entire time we were there… until one evening just before close. Wait times dropped down to 60 minutes or less, so we were able to finally get on! Waiting till the end of the day was super helpful.

My friends and I had a 9:05 pm reservation for ogas cantina. When we left, the park was empty and the atmosphere was completely different. Truly an unforgettable experience

Big thunder, once you’ve seen the parade/fireworks once or a thousand times, is absolutely unparalleled for me for fireworks 🎇 bursts. As are riding any and all of those major rides during parade/fireworks, especially if you tend to go to the parks solo like I do and walk fast 🏃🏾‍♀️💨😏

[kplee]

The most memorable/best thing I have done at WDW was stand with Mickey at the England pavilion to start the fireworks for Reflections of Earth.

October of 2021 I went to Disney World for the first time since I was a kid, and was able to experience rise of resistance without any technical problems on my first ride.


From the time I walked into the room with the storm troopers until I got off the ride I was completely taken to a new world, and it felt so real. I'm not even a star wars fan, I've just seen most of the movies once.

I had so much fun in Disney World I went to Disneyland 4 months later, and I'm headed back to Disney World this October.

Taking my kids (3, 6, 8) for the first time in two weeks. So excited to watch them experience it all!
