I'm 70 and learned the hard way that I am not as young as I used to be when my son had to help me out of the Matterhorn ride last December. It was embarrassing. I am going as a solo in Sept, so I may have to skip Space Mountain. LOL!
Lounge fly ? Really ? Where did you make up that word ? Just call it whatever other people call it, a backpack duh
I would wear black all day too
I was shocked at how many women were walking around with a full face of makeup while I have to carry a sweat rag because I’m sweating profusely in May. Next trip will be in October.
citrus swirl disapeared before I could try it
miss the people mover in disneyyland
Not as young as you used to be is no lie. I'm a roller coaster fanatic. At least I used to be. Thrill rides in general. When I was a kid I used to love the Hell Hole in Wildwood, NJ which for those unfamiliar this is a ride where you are in a cylindrical room that starts to spin and it spins so fast that the floor drops and you're stuck to the wall. That was me circa 1985. Fast forward to 2018. We go to Hershey Park. My daughter wants to ride the Tilt-a-Whirl. I ride it with her. 10 seconds into the ride and I'm ready to die. After we got off I was done for the rest of the day. I just sat on a bench(and laid down a little) while my wife took the kids to rides. The next year we went to Disney and my daughter and I went on Mission Space Orange. When we were approaching Mars I hard to close my eyes and hope I didn't need those bags.
as for rides breaking down..when i went as a child some 40 years ago i do not remember any rides being down for any reason. but it seems to me that the rides break more then they are up these days. Could it be that the tech is not ready for what we can cover it with?…just a thought
The vera bradley disney mini backpacks fit water bottles perfectly!
Loved Disney World on multiple visits, at least 20, up to 2013. Zero interest to go back with prices and hassles being what they are now.
Did anyone else get It vibes from Mickey with the red balloon? He looked like he didn't want to play the role of a murderous clown. xD
Camelbaks are the BEST investment my husband and I purchased! We have water on our backs and storage ❤
Skipping your videos till you stop covering for tianas bayou that ride sucks and you know it talk about a different ride for a change it's terrible
Dinosaur can make you barf too
I recently learned that the week before Mother's Day is not a good time to go. I swear everyone from Great Britain was there. Wait times were 75 minutes to 120 minutes for some rides and we wasted our money on Geni Pass. We only got lucky one time a day to get a ride we really wanted to get. Summer also hit a lot sooner than it was supposed to. Temps hit 101 the first day and stayed around 95+ the other 3 days.
On another note, people are inconsiderate and do not know proper walking etiquette. People walk like they own the park and you need to move out off their way. Just a warning for those who haven't gone to Disney World.
Outside of those few issue we enjoyed our time and made the most of it. However, we did bring home an unwanted souvenir, Cough, Cough if you know what I mean.
My 4 year old driving the Falcon was one of the best parts of our last trip 🙂
You missed Sleepy Hollow taking away the Nutella fruit waffle 😭. If you look at their menu now it’s not there
I'm just now noticing the voice similarity between AJ and Miss Mojo!
Disney needs to put a lot more ride in the parks they just keep taking rides away and not putting anything to replace them and then they put all this money into rethemes. there are not enough rides in any of the parks in Disney world and it makes for long miserable lines which makes miserable days at Disney.
Three weeks until my family and I go to Disney. I purchase a refillable mug, and bring a couple that close tightly. I buy numerous dollar store ponchos, due to the fact that it seems to rain most afternoons. My cooling towels are ready.
Have you guys thought about offering the audio of your videos as a podcast? I love listening to your voice and would seriously just listen to these as a podcast

THANKS, AJ ! HAVE A MAGICAL DAY!!!! 😄😁👋✨️💙
I went to Orlando for my Family Vacation last week. I decided to NOT do Disney. I did Discovery Cove which allows you to upgrade a little to get into Busch Gardens, Sea World, and Sea World Aquatica for 2 weeks. We had a blast. I would have done Universal but we were there last year and a lot of people who are angry with Disney are going to Universal so Universal is slammed with people. Just go somewhere else. Disney won't change if you keep thinking they will on their own or you think they will magically come to their senses. Disney has to be gutted of their leaders and replaced with family orientated leadership who put the customer first again. Disney has to lose so much money that they have no choice but to change. Consumers can make Disney bend the knee to what we truly want from their company.
Oh my goodness you should absolutely make a christmas greeting card wall tree with your washi tape!! I am far too nostalgic to throw away any of my old christmas greeting cards, so i make a washi tape tree to display them every year and I always get a ridiculous amount of compliments on it!! °○°
The key lime pie on a stick was AMAZING! Why Disney?!!!!
Wearing black is great until you see all the salt crystals from your sweat. 🫣

Instead of ponchos I put 2-3 compact umbrellas in the outside side pockets of my backpack. Lot less hassle than ponchos except that you’ll likely have your bag searched at the gate when entering the park. Plus the umbrellas can be used for shade from the sun while waiting for a parade.
Also a long narrow camera backpack is really great for parks because it’s easy to fit on rides, holds plenty of stuff, and doesn’t bump into everything you walk past.
AJ thank you for keeping the vlogs upbeat, funny, and enjoyable to watch. I like how you let your personality shine throwing in ad libs and personal experience even laughing at yourself in the vlogs.
I’m a 65 year old and still manage 30,000+ step, multi-park, rope drop to good-night-kiss, 4 days in a row visits. Here’s a few hints I use…
1. Line yoga – while waiting in the many lines, I stretch and do isotonic exercises. It looks weird but it keeps my body working.
2. Durable poncho – instead of the flimsy cheap poncho, I have a coated nylon one that still packs down small but is strong enough to give it a good shake out before stashing it away.
3. Cooling clothes- Columbia makes shirts, arm covers and cooling clothes from a treated material called OmniFreeze which drops in temperature when wet. It doesn’t rely on evaporative cooling. It’s also sun protection. It doesn’t get that soggy feeling and remains comfortable after getting stuck in the rain. And Columbia has a store in Disney Springs.
4. Toe socks – to keep the toes from rubbing against each other causing blisters, I switch to socks that have individual toes (foot gloves). I found them in the Japanese store in EPCOT.
5. Bubble wrap and hard sided food savers. For days when I’m buying souvenirs, a small piece of bubble wrap and food container protects my treasures.
6. Extra hair ties, small clips and lanyard – great for attaching loose objects, compacting wet ponchos, keeping Magic Band from coming off, and keeping hand sanitizer handy.
GOOD LUCK on your next visit
Hydroflask water bottles fit loungefly bags and keep your water cold all day!!
I have 137 days to go. I’m hoping Tiana’s Bayou Adventure is running semi smoothly. lol.
Last year, I went back to MK at night hoping to ride the Peoplemover, but that was down. People were stuck.
I waited awhile, but it didn’t seem like it was going to reopen. The Peoplemover at night hits differently.
Still my favorite ride. 👍🏻
isn’t that “creepy version of goofy” Pluto??
Also as a fit person, I wholly underestimated how much walking actually gets done. I was tired man.
