I just started your videos because we are planning a first time trip to WDW. And I have been so confused on where to even begin. Compared, to other WDW youtubers that I have been watching yours are clear, straight to the point, no jibber jabbing, points out important key features. I have even been taking notes from your videos to start planning our trip. Please keep it up and thank you so much. Please, please, please, do another video exactly like this one on the moderate and luxury resorts. Also another video explaining how and what are the wrist bands, what and how to use fastpass, how and what are dining plans, and a video on each individual park and what there is to do.

Hi. We are annual pass holders. He has the other videos on the moderate and luxury hotels, so I'll help with the magic wrist bands. They basically Electronically ID you. You can use them to open your room, they are water proof so you can wear them in a pool. Then you use them as your ticket to get in the parks. With pass holders, we also use them for getting our free parking. Then they are what you use to get on rides with fast pass, but they are not running fast passes yet. They were working on tying them to be able to charge items to your room, but I'm not sure if that has been implemented yet. When fast pass is implemented again, you can add rides via the Disney mobile app on your phone after you use up the three fast pass reservations that you can reserve way ahead of time.

I stayed off site once and I will never do it again. I used to always stay at value resorts as I spend very little time at the resorts except for a mid afternoon break. But I finally tried a moderate resort when I got older and had a little more money to spend and I think the moderate resort is right for me. The cost is still within my budget, but the biggest difference is transportation. Your still gonna deal with waits and full buses at the end of the night, but nothing nearly as hectic and the rest of the day is generally gonna be no issues. IMO: Best Value Resort: pop century Best Moderate: Port Orleans French Quarter.

Just a hint about All Star Movies…. If you are in (I think) Mighty Ducks, the rooms are closer to the food court & buses for All Star Music, than for Movies. So it is often a]quicker to just walk over there & then get the bus there where it is less crowded.

Great video! It taught me something new about the All Star resorts in that they share a bus route! It's such a relief to know that me and my travel partner aren't going to go way out of our way if we mistake one of the other all star busses for the one we're staying at. Thank you for the video!

If I and honest Pop Century is my fav as well , however prefer to stay off site either on 192 or International Drive . I prefer the freedom . However that being said I can see why people would stay on site with the Disney Extras you get with that . Great all round content which is presented in a very user friendly way . Top Marks FB 👍

This is one of my favorite resorts at Disney as feels the most like you are at Disney w/o being in parks. If you choose to have a meal here and IF Disney is doing in person ordering vs solely mobile order, ask to see the “secret menu”. The staff will come out with a case. In the case is a viewfinder to see the menu. Its a fun experience that AS Movie’s had that others don’t. Best to ask about this at off peak hours!

It seems like the UK will be in a really good position come summer time. However I’m a bit nervous about Florida. Because of climate, Florida peaks for respiratory illnesses in the summer (lots of people indoors with air conditioning), whereas in the UK it’s in the winter. I’m worried that the governor is doing a victory lap a bit too soon in Florida. I think we’ll know by mid June. Fingers crossed🤞
