    I have to say even though I am not a Star Wars fan (my daughter is) the experience at Savi's was really cool. Seeing her little face light up during the ceremony. Woah! Totally worth it for us.

    I just went to the after hours event last night at HWS. Absolutely 100% worth it! Wait time for almost every ride was 10 minutes or less, including Rise of Resistance. Not all rides were available but the good ones were. There were even character meet and greets. No Skyliner or Boats were available but busses were to every resort.

    @Malena Mitchell The available rides were Runaway Railway, Star Tours Adventure Continues, Smugglers Run, Rise of the Resistance, Slinky Dog Dash, Toy Story Mania, Alien Swirling Saucers, Tower of Terror, and Rockin Rollercoaster. Most stores also seemed open including Savi's Workshop and Droid Builders. Yes, you can go to Fantasmic. We went in at 7pm and got Wristbands. One the park closes to the public, they make you show your wristband to get on any rides or go into certain areas. Of course I would assume this is subject to change.

    The single rider tip is not true. I go to the parks alone almost every weekend and from my experiences over the past few years, single rider is either the same wait or (about 50% of the time) an even longer wait. This is especially true for Rock n Rollercoster. 2 weeks ago, single rider was open at Rock n Rollercoaster and the stand-by was listed at 50 minutes. I waited in the normal line and ended up on the ride before people I watched enter the single rider line the same time I chose stand-by.

    New to central Florida so we purchased Annual passes . Grew up really close to Disney Land and go back there all the time . These videos are fantastic and really well done. Excellent cadence . The grading marks crack me up. One popcorn stand is 4.5 and the other is 8 ( diff videos) out of 10. They do exactly what they set out to do. Sell popcorn . Her synopsis of Olga’s cantina is SPOT ON!!! Place is a total let down . Her review of the 50’s diner, in my mind , is ok at best. The fried chicken there is about as close to the chicken at Disneyland as you are gonna find. Not even the two chicken places in Disney Springs even come close . If you know what I’m talking about , you know what I’m talking about. Aside from my humble opinion, really well done.

    I hope I have a disability pass when I go. I couldn't get one in Oct. even with a bad back. I waited 80 minutes to ride Rise of Resintance and I hope it has a single line lane like Smugglers Run. We were there Oct. 16. I hope Fantasmic will be there when I go back this Oct. I don't usually like motion rides but I did like Rise and Smugglers Run. You get bumped around more on Smugglers whoever is in the front and managing the controls. I was bumped around more the 2nd time but I like it even though I had to hold on tight. Yea Sept. can be less crowded but there's more rain.

    Just a thought from an overstimulated mom your background music I know is very much a part of your brand but when it just goes over and over and over while you’re talking it’s very much reminiscent of a child’s toy running in the background completely forgotten by your kid and it starts to feel maddening after a while. Love your channel though so I will push through.
