Creator's Key Takeaways

I just love the vibe here. I keep saying that. And I was telling Lee, it's just so different. It's so mellow and chill and the people are so nice.

That was so fun. And I'm really glad we finally got to ride it this year. That was awesome.

When folks ask me what is my favorite Disney ride, it's Haunted Mansion. I mean, hands down, I just I love it.

Guys, we just had dinner at Dint Taipang here at Downtown Disney, and it was spectacular.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Mobile order Starbucks at Downtown Disney to save time.
Try to get on the wait list for Dint Tai Fung early, as wait times can be long.
