ガストンのようにハンサムだったり、戦ったり、もちろん、急に動画がネット上で拡散する者はいないだろう。
フロリダのウォルト・ディズニー・ワールドで「美女と野獣」の悪役をきびしく叱りつけた少女がネット上で話題となったが、今度はガストンがYouTubeの動画再生数を伸ばした。今度は、旅行客がガストンに腕立て伏せ競争を挑んでいる。その結果は？ 50秒過ぎには勝負あった、となる。
動画を投稿したブレイク・プラットさんは説明文で「ガストンに腕立て伏せ競争を挑むとどうなるか、想像したことある？」と書いた。「単純に面白いから投稿しただけで、1人か2人がそれを見てクスクス笑う程度かと思っていた」と、プラットさんは動画が有名になったあとに追加した。

Best Time to Visit Walt Disney World(02 of07)

Be flexible about what time of year you visit Orlando. Generally, these family magnets are busiest when school is out. If you don’t mind playing hooky with your kids for a few days, you’ll have a much easier time during the academic year. September is a golden period because prices are lower, the weather’s still warm, and kids aren’t deep into the curriculum yet. Early May, after spring vacation but before the school year ends, is another solid choice. Christmas week is a nightmare.

Dining: Reservation or No Reservation?(03 of07)
See More Disney World Tips and Tricks
If there is a certain restaurant you desperately want to dine at, make reservations as soon as possible: in-demand tables fill up weeks early. For instance, Magic Kingdom’s Be Our Guest is notoriously difficult to be a guest at, and so is the tiny Le Cellier Steakhouse in Epcot’s Canada pavilion.
If you can’t preplan, some restaurants might be able to work you in, but your chances improve dramatically if you’re willing to dine at off-peak times such as the minute meal service begins, which varies per location but is usually around 11:30 a.m. for lunch and 4 p.m. for dinner.

Using the My Disney Experience App Without a MagicBand(04 of07)

MagicBands are currently available only to people who opt to stay in the 20-plus Disney-branded hotels, so for guests staying off-property, the My Disney Experience app can still be used for preplanning, but FastPass reservations can only be made the same day. Pick up passes at in-park MyMagic+ kiosks that function a little like the ticket booths at an old-time fairground midway. Just be warned: lines can get long.

Keep to a Budget with Disney Dollars(05 of07)
See More Disney World Tips and Tricks
Limit spending by buying Disney Dollars, an in-park private scrip equal to the value of the U.S. dollar. Use them to set a budget and give kids an allowance. They’re charged as a purchase, not as a cash advance, so they’re also handy for avoiding ATM fees. Just don’t order them ahead of time, though, or you’ll pay $15 in shipping fees.

Getting the Best Seat in Theater Attractions(06 of07)
See More Disney World Tips and Tricks
When you see one of the theater-based attractions such as Muppet*Vision 3D (in Disney’s Hollywood Studios), Mickey’s PhilharMagic (in the Magic Kingdom), or The American Adventure (Epcot), don’t elbow others aside to get into the auditorium first. Cast members move incoming audiences all the way down each row, so if you want seats toward the center, follow a large group of guests. They’ll be at the end of the row and you won’t.

Best Times to Visit the Park(07 of07)
See More Disney World Tips and Tricks
Get to the park at opening time and be there until closing. The parks are the least crowded in the mornings, as many guests are still waking up, and evenings, after many have tired. “If you need a break, head back to your hotel in peak afternoon for a nap,” says Roseboom.
Guests at Disney-run hotels are admitted during “Extra Magic Hours” that fall outside of times available to the general public, and the lighter crowds translate to much shorter waits—a price versus convenience factor to consider in your hotel reservations.
