The Brown Family
How often do you go to Disney: Every five years. This was our son's second time - the first time he was 2 1/2.
Trip Deets: We went the first week of October! The week after the storm, we were so nervous, but all worked out. Gran and PaPa took us on this fabulous trip with our five-year-old. We did a 5-day hopper which we usually love, but it was a little frustrating since you could only hop after 2 pm each day.
The Best Part of Your Trip?: Buying the Photo Pass is always a WIN! Our family loves pictures, and this ensures we get them all captured! The Boo Party (Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party) was fantastic and we used it as an extra night in the park since it wasn't our park day.
What Would You Do Different?: We did the Boo Party on Sunday- I think I would have done Sunday as one of our days in the park and picked Boo party on another night. It kept us from not having a rest day. We did Magic Kingdom 3 times and Hollywood Studios 3 times, with one day at Epcot and one at Animal Kingdom.
We did several Character Meals - I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Topolino's Terrace it was fabulous. We did Chef Mickey, Tusker House, Space 220 (the best adult food meal of the trip.)
I would totally skip Cinderella's Royal Table- this was our worst experience! The waiter rushed us through our $350 meal which was not worth it! Also, we have Dairy Allergies, and this was the only restaurant that was not accommodating in Disney.
Boma at Animal Kingdom Lodge is always solid - we've been there four times, and it's the most consistent.
What is the Best Tip you got from Well Hello Disney?: Well Hello Disney was FANTASTIC! I was able to message her and ask quick questions! She's a mom and gets it!!!
She gave us the tip on where to find Mickey Photo Op in Epcot!
I would have never known his location because it's not advertised! Our family got the cutest pictures ❤️
Give us Your Best Disney Tip!:
Remember to have FUN! It's sometimes frustrating between technology and family's expectations and exhaustion level but it truly is THE MOST MAGICAL PLACE ON EARTH!
What was your most useful Platform on Well Hello Disney?: I read and watched all your stories! I'm not a big reader bc I have a 5-year-old but your short stories, I learned so much on Instagram ❤️
COMPLETELY OPTIONAL! We would love to hear how you saved money, your budget, and any programs you used to help reduce the cost of your trip:: We used a Disney Visa all year long before coming to Disney! We walked into the park with $3000 worth of gift cards for food and fun!
We stayed at Club Wyndham at Bonnet Creek! It's not a Disney property, but it's on Disney Property across from Epcot! 2 bedroom condo so spacious for $2000!
