When people are sitting at a table that can hold more people, I always ask if I can join them. Haven't been turned down yet and it's much better than giving someone the stink eye

I love the idea of making people get their food first before they can claim a table. I was a single parent experiencing the parks with my daughter. I can't tell you how many times we had to sit on a curb outside with our meals because families had grabbed up the tables before she and I could get our food while someone else in their party stood in line still waiting to order. My daughter and I made the most of everything. But it really would have been nice to sit at a table with her and enjoy our meals.

The stroller rule surprised me. We were there last week and saw multiple ‘wagon’ type strollers with kids in them. We even commented that if we had more than one kid that’s what we would bring

As someone who worked in food service for 5 years. The be nice to people needs to be a rule in every place. I commend Disney for this. When I went with my GF everyone was so nice from the staff to the guests. And we only saw one “Karen” arguing over a table that a guy apologized for taking it, as he didn’t know she was waiting for that table.

As someone who saw a grown *bleep* man full on YELL at a very small and rather young cast member in Disneyland, I’m completely on board with the “be nice” rule. I was also very pleased that several Dwayne the Rock Johnson sized guests got in angry-man’s face and told him to chill out. Also, it’d be great if they would enforce “no food, no table” rules at Galaxy Edge, luckily my mom and I were able to make some friends at Ronto Roasters but there was a large group taking up 3 tables with nary a bite in sight.

My squinting intensified when I first read the “be nice rule”, but then I remembered a trip I took with my husband pre-pandemic. I ordered a spicy chicken and waffle sandwich at Sleepy Hollow, and not even a minute passed before a cast memeber apologized because there was going to be a 5 minute delay because the chicken was being fried. I thought no big deal, it’s only 5 minutes but she immediately issued me a refund and added on a complimentary soft drink. I insisted it was no inconvenience and I wouldn’t mind waiting but she had already processed the refund while apologizing profusely .
When I explained to my husband what had happened he immediately responded with “I bet somebody was absolutely nasty to them and they didn’t want to experience it again” and my little heart felt heavy. While I appreciated their efforts to make right what they thought was wrong, it’s still upsetting to know cast members experience that type of harassment when my reason for going back to Disney repeatedly is the level of service the cast memebers provide. They deserve nothing but the best ❤

Disney should not sell a single day ticket to someone if there are no reservations available. And they should inform anyone reserving an accommodations whether there are reservations for the parks available then as well - assuming the guest wants to go to the parks. A guest paying for lodging should be able to go to the parks. No matter what. Passholders are clearly also being underserved if they don’t get to use their tickets. I understand the weekend deal but it seems Disney has created a mess and chooses to dig in their heals rather than come up with a good solution

4:51 I remember when selfie sticks were banned and each park had a specially designed sign to fit in with the entrance areas of each park to let guests know.

Tip for Space Mountain and loose items: do not use the storage pouch on the ride. I was there for Villains After Hours a few years ago and my friend put her phone in the pouch and it managed to fall out of the pouch. They found it but lol that phone was smashed. Find a friend/family member with some pocket or bag that zips if you don’t have one!

Just wanna say: I went to DW in January. I traveled from the UK and you guys are FAB. I enjoyed my trip so much mainly because everyone was extremely helpful, whether cast member or other guest. Brits can be very reserved and while I love my country, I always love coming to America because y'all are really welcoming and happy to help out.

WRT Park passes, I messed up and didn't put any reservations through properly before I went. The cast members on the first day at Animal Kingdom, where I planned to go to warm up, just got me a pass right at the gate. My mistake but they fixed it within seconds. I could also go on and reserve passes for the remaining days and even add a park pass for Magic Kingdom on the same day when I got bored on my rest day :).

And now I understand why I got a check-up from a housekeeper. I was surprised and hoped I hadn't done anything wrong!

Having been on the Grand Opening team at Space Mountain in 1975, I have to say that after we shutdown the ride at closing and went inside the secure track area to collect items that had fallen out of guests pockets was: medcine bottles of NITROGLYCERIN tablets. For those who may not know, these are fast melting tablets that someone would place under their tongue when sudden chest pains would occur. This pain was caused by a very mild cardiac event. Not a real "heart attack" thet we often think of, but another heart condition. Personally it concerned me that should a person need one later it the no. But on ther other hand I found some relief that a person with a major heart disease would not go on the ride.

As someone with a disability who has had to deal with people who save seats for their friends I can say that a no saving seats Rule is definitely needed

So glad about housekeeping coming back everywhere. It is one of the best parts of vacation that makes it feel different than everyday live.

I wish they would get rid of park reservations. I want to decide which park I want to go to on that day not before, we like to pick the park according to the weather and be spontaneous

[mercedeshall]

I love how AJ added in one of her last videos, that her and her husband fight more in Disney World than anywhere else 😂 same goes for me and my husband 😂

[HandleHandle]

I’ll probably be traveling alone with my son so please be nice and be mindful of travelers like us when you are saving tables with foods not ready! We ate too many meals sitting on the ground last time ☹️

I think we need to ban together and campaign for Disney elite to pay their cast more money. The lack of care for their employees financially is causing them to start resentful feelings therefore I’ve been noticing a lot of them not happy the way Walt would want his employees happy. Walt would not have stood for treatment of employees so poorly. But we have greedy people at the top ruining the spirit of Walt Disney. Let’s fight for the employees!

I find the dress code an interesting one. I had heard that before my first trip to Disney and for the most part ppl are fine. However, I saw someone wearing a shirt with an AR-15 on it that said, "I'll 2nd amendment that face" below it and was shocked they got in. 🤔

I’m actually so sad that cast members are getting verbally abused by guest. As someone who goes every year to Disney (family tradition), I have the most utter respect for the cast members. They bring the magic to the park. Dealing with thousands of tourist each day is not an easy thing to do.

Guests just need to be a little patient, while dealing with heavy crowds everywhere. You are going to one of the most well known park in the whole world… it’s a matter of being patient and just having fun.

As a purist and a person that criticizes this company and it’s decisions a lot, thank you for making this channel a positive space
