Creator's Key Takeaways

Overall, it was good. We deviated from the plan a little bit which always of course happens but it was a it was a nice trip.

It was a really great experience. I'm always glad when Cinderella's Royal Table lives up to the the hype.

The heat was wild. I think it was probably upper 90s that day.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Use the single rider line for Everest at Animal Kingdom to save time.
✓Ask housekeeping for an additional tiara if you have multiple girls in the royal rooms.
✓Consider taking the French Quarter bus back to Riverside if it's available, as it can be faster.
✓Book a bounceback offer for a good deal on resort and dining plan.
✓Use Lightning Lanes strategically, as some rides sell out quickly.

YouTube Video Description↓

I talked to Hali before and after her early May Disney World trip (May 2–9) with her husband, two daughters (8 and 5), and her parents, plus a brief visit from friends. They stayed in two connected royal rooms at Port Orleans Riverside (bounce back offer), used military tickets from Shades of Green, the Disney Dining Plan, Memory Maker, and several Lightning Lanes. After an arrival night near Disney Springs, they visited Animal Kingdom (Tusker House, shows, Everest single rider), Magic Kingdom (many breakdowns, Cinderella’s Royal Table, Beak & Barrel, Pirates, silhouettes), Epcot (Club Cool, Guardians for two, World Showcase, Biergarten), Hollywood Studios (shows, Tower of Terror, Rise, Oga’s, Fantasmic), and a final Magic Kingdom morning with Narcoossee’s dinner. The trip included record-breaking heat, pool time, and a total spend of $6,269.32 excluding tickets.
