I am Sonia Gill and I'm known around the world as the fairy godmother of travel,
because I am back to give you the insider tips and tricks on planning
on resorts, on food, on where to make your stay home to famiglia
more amazing than you could ever imagine.
Here we go.
No matter where your coming from you should start doing your research for
hotels, for tickets, and so forth at Disney World.com
Next thing that you absolutely and positively need to do is download the
MyDisney Experience app, I'm telling you this app changed everything.
You can see the wait times for rides, maps, tools to make reservations for all sorts of cool stuff
and you can even schedule your Fastpass Plus.

Time for you to go. All right will you text me later?
Okay bye thank you.
Did you catch me using this at the entrance?
well this is a Magic Band and I wish I could have one at home you can use it to access
your Fastpass Plus selections like I just did use it to pay for pretty much
anything it's your magic wallet
there are tons of visitors to chase them with plenty of perks no matter oh all
sorts of options to fit any family and any problem they have monorail buses and
both yes a free transportation to and from the airport this resort guests get
extra magic hours in the park and one more thing they have that Disney feeling
that you come looking for from the moment you step in I like this one this
is the all-star music resort and I like it because it's got a really good vibe
music playing it's colorful it has a huge pool what's not love
no matter what I like the family for two things first of all the space
specifically fit and blacks and second of all we'll have a kitchenette this is
a hidden gem the Quarterly's resort I mean look at it it's for just right it
makes me feel like I'm in one of my favorite cities I love the architecture
the shaded hallways the pool area and of course some good old New Orleans fun yep
they even have a new one so you can always call the Disney reservation
center to figure out which resort is right for you and don't worry
se out it's fun or simply go to Disneyworld comm choose your preferred
language and they have all the info there is that a boat is it a car it's
both and it's one of the many cool things that you can do a downtown
Thursday
let me show you how much you can do here first of all it's free this is not a
party downtown business where you come to eat at all kinds of restaurants you
go shopping and for the entertainment of all sorts and sizes but first things
first let's talk about the shopping I found all the goodies I want clothes
cool electronics toys a hat yes please always
sunglasses hits Florida you need them
and a running store just a I'm gonna need comfortable shoes for the park
and of course restores the kids love to
I don't know about you there is nothing like shopping to make me hungry okay The
Boathouse is you it is beautiful the food is fantastic they have a margarita
bar and it's by the water which yes means folks if you want something on the
go stop by Earl of Sandwich if you're feeling adventurous your ex is response
but it's not all about the food and the shopping Downtown Disney is where you
come to have fun with your family outside the four parks via e launching
there's a date actors and flights balloon right cirque du soleil the Lego
store it's an activity all in itself or you can just sit down by the food trucks
and relax enjoy the view perhaps a little one fancies a princess makeover
sadly it's only for kids four to twelve well that's okay because I packed my own
princess outfit
you want to create some lasting memories it's all about the photos and I'm going
to show you exactly where to take the best ones SEK so do you don't rip ones
when you're dressed like a princess here you are really a princess and you get
treated like one and if you're celebrating a special
occasion like a birthday or perhaps it's your first time here stop by The Walt
Disney World guest relations they're gonna give you a button and cast members
and characters are going to treat you extras here
what can say Walt Disney World is a magical place take advantage of the
Disney PhotoPass and I guarantee you will get some great pictures with your
family it's free and this is how it works when a Disney PhotoPass
photographer takes your picture you tap your magic band and it's automatically
loaded into your account then you can take a look at the pics later choose the
ones that you like and get then upgrade to the memory maker and get all of your
picks for great value don't worry about using the app too much and Wi-Fi based
garages and there are charging stations around the park like this one in Magic
Kingdom it's by the Haunted Mansion app it's a great spot to take a break and
recharge
let's go take some pictures
in a sovereign
I like and these good food and I am happy to report that at Walt Disney
World there are plenty of delicious options
for you and your family
I like to eat warm and hearty meals so if you are like me and you are in
Hollywood studios stop at Hollywood and Vine it's a buffet they have options for
everyone plus you can dine with characters who
come to sing junior year as you know I always say that the key to
a successful trip is planning so make reservations all you have to do is call
4:07 wdwd or simply use your app wait what you're in a hurry you don't want to
sit down we got you covered right next to Tower of Terror is Anaheim protis and
there are plenty of healthy options for you to just pick up and go and there are
choices like these at all four parts if what you're looking for is something
really different then nothing beats that sci-fi diner by this our tours
who doesn't love to turn a movie maybe you fancy something exotic and for that
you go to the Tusker house at Disney's Animal Kingdom right bye festival of the
Lion King the buffet features foods from all over the world so the adventurous
try everything and to worry they have options for the kids too how can you go
around the world and see the future at the same time
only one place Epcot
Epcot is one of the most unique parks that you will ever go to and it's only
at Walt Disney World half of it is the World Showcase and
they have recreations of 11 countries around the world in Germany be sure to
stop by the beer garden and at least have a snack in Morocco the vibe is
super cool and the food is delicious and in England look out for the secret hedge
maze and look out for it well because it's hidden but that's only half of it
let me show you the other side of Epcot future world you can explore your
imagination go store iconic riders and discover how people communicate with
each other around the world the rides range from super interesting
and mind opening to physically thrilling these are my favorites mission space is
but effect about a group of colonies it is a simulation ride that lets you
navigate your ship to Mars from space we go straight underwater sounds a little
crazy not at Epcot
this is my spot the seas with nemo & friends and here you can travel through
an aquarium and don't miss out on the interactive exhibits for something more
exciting try test track and a mega tip here look out for the single rider lines
he'll save you a lot of time it is time to go out with a bang and i'll make sure
that you have the very best view
you never know where or when entertainment will pop up and sometimes
you get to be a part of the action so keep your eyes open or look up street
must be on the mind is new experience app to stay in the know use it to
reserve access to want to meet many many shows happening all day like muting the
beat and if you do you will get a reminder so that you don't forget when
it is I actually really enjoy the shows they're super fun to watch and they are
a great opportunity to sit down cool off and recharge just remember that if a
show is on your Mustang you list it's always a good idea to use your Fastpass
plus you can even reserve a spot to see fireworks and what they're about to come
apart my absolute personal favorite the wish is nice and spectacular and
like my mouse ears during the show they light up along with the fireworks.
