0:55 — Don't wear new shoes to After Dark events, break them in first
2:35 — Select gift shops hold your merch free (Star Trader, Port Royale, Elias & Co, etc.)
4:02 — Don't skip DL's Galaxy's Edge — different characters (OG trilogy!), snacks & Season of the Force
6:43 — Rope drop Fantasyland first, not Toontown/NOS
7:47 — Skip the Monorail at rope drop, walking beats it
9:13 — Budget 3 days, not 2 — parks change (RIP Fantasmic dragon)
11:55 — Don't fill up on DCA festival food, save room for classic snacks
14:42 — Matterhorn = Batterhorn, pack Tylenol (first aid has free meds)
15:42 — Skip Main St & NOS bathrooms — use Autopia, Galaxy's Edge, or back of Hollywood Land
17:32 — Filter Good Neighbor hotels by "across the street" — some are a long walk

My favorite good neighbor hotel is The Anaheim. It's a great price and a very manageable walking distance. It is also super adorable, has a wonderful staff and has a pleasant private feel.

If you leave a ride worse for wear, don't push yourself to keep going. My mom did Space Mountain twice in a row, and now she only does it once per day. Don't be ashamed to take a break and sit down for a while. The line won't get any shorter.

I miss the perk of sending my Disneyland purchases to my hotel.  They desperately need to bring this back!

I can relate to the 'Batterhorn" ! I had always love riding it, even when no one else in my group liked it. After an almost 8 year span of no visits, I finally rode it again. It was soooo rough on my back, I sadly think that was my last time on that ride. Getting older is no fun.

I went to my first ever Disneyland in Tokyo but a couple months ago and my biggest regret was not trying to indulge more.
I was terrified of looking ridiculous by myself taking pictures with characters on the street. I didn't want to bother them.

I am however thankful I went inside the Minnie Studio to take a picture with her, though I won't deny I was nervous as hell since I have NEVER taken a picture with a mascot character much less as an adult. A Cast Member was really nice in the Studio and even gave me a sticker to celebrate my first ever Disney visit. It was such a nice gesture that I didn't want the sticker to get damaged so I stored it safely.
I was not aware I was supposed to wear that so people knew it was my first visit lol

Another DL video? As Julie Andrews once sang (non-Disney, sorry), "Nothing comes from nothing/Nothing ever could/So, somewhere in my youth or childhood/I must have done something good." :)

Go to Hong Kong Disneyland during low season. No wait times and short walks everywhere. Just make sure to avoid the Chinese holidays.

That walk down Harbor gets SO long at 11pm 😅😅

Unfortunately, when I was trying to book a Disneyland trip the GNHs across the street were still the most expensive than compared to the ones a mile away.

The original Fantasmic! featured Peter Pan and Hook, along with Tick-Tock. And there was a different version on the dragon, no projection mapping, snow white on a boat, different lasers. What Wendy missed was version 2.

I've heard of families renting a stroller, even they don't need one, just to carry around the souvenirs. Maybe this works???

Sad Disneyland Days AJ --->>> 99% of anything 70th Anniversary is now gone .. .. Just PAINT THE NIGHT for another week .. .. Ran into lots of Florida gang catching the Parade last night .. ..

And, speaking of snacks, don't sleep on the BREAKFAST CHIMICHANGA and homemade Salsa Verde at cart across from Thunder Mountain .. ..

SURPRISE. I'M DONE WITH WORK EARLY. This will be an AWESOME video. I don't want to regret anything after going to Disneyland. Thank you SOOOOOO much for making this video

Peter Pan was the original version included in Fantasmic!, then Pirates, then they went back to Peter Pan

Hear me out, taking the monorail may get you into the parks a tad later if you don't catch the first one, but turnstyle lines can be crazy long at front entrance. the biggest perk though is being dropped off at the back of the park. You get to knock off space mountain, nemo (if that's your jam) the rest of tomorrowland and most of fantasyland while every one is working in the opposite direction of you+

I was just on the phone with my Dad planning our Disneyland trip next month!

My last trip to Disneyland was for my son's 10th birthday in 1994! He has been back many times since, as an adult, but life, health, etc has gotten in my way. But my sister and I plan on going back to see the Halloween park on our bucket lists. In 1994, I DID see the original Fantasmic and well remember the dragon projected on a screen of water, so this was pre-animatronic caught fire Maleficent! Sometimes simpler is better, like Tinkerbell flying from Cinderella's castle, or Mary Poppins umbrella gliding up to it.

Hello DFB team. Just started watching your content after a coworker talks about her annual trips to Disney World. Looking to plan out a future trip for like 2028 when the new attractions are finished.

I know it’s kind of subjective, based on what a person wants to do at the parks, but could you do a video about how to maximize your time to do a park or two in one day? Kinda like your Universal Studios in 1 day video.

I’d like to go to all four parks and the water parks in the late summer. Maybe do a theme park in the first half and a water park in the second half. Love your feedback or video with suggestions to make this possible as I plan my (potential) itinerary.

My god!!! Yessss I’m going to Disneyland in November and no new Disneyland content has been added so thank you
