WHAT WE USE TO FILM OUR VIDEOS
Note that we make a commission from Amazon if you purchase using the links here:

DJI OM 5
This is like a steadicam for your phone. It keeps all your shots smooth and level, even while you are walking. Do not use on fast rides like roller coasters. Also note that this can convert to a selfie stick, but selfie sticks are not allowed in Disney Parks. This item is allowed because it is primarily a gimbal but you are not allowed to extend it.

RODE VIDEO MICRO
This little microphone is a great, affordable way to cut down on the noise around you so people can hear your voice. Just be sure to point it at the sound you want and unplug it when you want to hear all the sound around you.

COLD SHOE MOUNT ADAPTER
If you want to use the DJI Om 5 and the microphone at the same time, you need one of these.

    Make sure you eat breakfast because when we did Rope Drop at Animal Kingdom this past August, we had a hard time finding an open kiosk that serves breakfast. We had to settle for crappy coffee and a pretzel near Dino Land because we were so hungry. Most of the restaurants open around 10 or 11 am.
  • Thank you for this and all of your videos! You are my favorite Disney YouTuber.
  • @SummerDawn
    This was THE BEST early entry video I've ever seen! You are so fun to watch!! I'm going to Disney for the 1st time by myself and this was extremely helpful. Thank you!

    Just returned from my family’s Disney trip. Thanks to your tips we were able to ride everything we wanted without genie + or lightening lanes. We stayed at Port Orleans French Quarter the busing was amazing. Again thank you for our video at the parks without genie+; extremely helpful!! 💜
  • Animal Kingdom is so beautiful. Just a great place to be. This series has been fun and very informative! As someone who, most of the time, goes out of their way to not stand out in a crowd (and I'm 6,6" 😉), I can really admire the way you just talk into the camera with so many peope around you. I would be incredibly self aware. I could never do what you do, but I really appreciate the videos!
