Disney Fails You’ll Want To Avoid

October 7, 2018 by Unlocking the Magic

Disney Fails You’ll Want To Avoid

On this episode we share our most recent traveling mistakes and Walt Disney World fails. Believe it or not, even though by now, we consider ourselves expert level travelers, we still continue to have a few blunders on our vacations.

When it comes to failures we seem to have done it all, misplaced kids, gotten sick and even worse, missed our connecting flights to Orlando. Ha!

Today’s show brings you all of our recent blunders, whether they are flying related or mistakes we make inside the parks, we hope that by talking about some of these, you can be sure to avoid them on your next trip.

  • Not paying the seemingly small extra fee to pre-pick our seats on the flight.
  • Buying “cheap” flights and not calculating baggage fees
  • Thinking the car rental pick up will be quick since we booked ahead of time….
  • Expecting our luggage to arrive at our resort before bedtime. (Magical Express Fail)
  • Recreating the exact same trip/ Not carving out new memories
  • Purchasing one-day tickets.
  • Not dressing up for the Halloween party/ Christmas party
  • Waiting in line for the downed attraction (Seven dwarfs mine train) to begin operating
  • Judging Spam by its cover
  • Hoarding our snack credits on the dining plan
  • Thinking that 90-degree humid weather in Florida  is the same kind of heat in Boston
  • Leaving the Magic Kingdom 20 minutes after closing and thinking the transportation will be less crowded…
  • Entrusting the online crowd calendars to be super accurate (high expectations).
  • Lastly, letting all of our blunders get to us.
