Probably the best YT channel for first-time visitors like me and my husband, specially being from another country. Can't tell you how useful your tips have been for us and how much time we feel we're saving on our 1 year anniversary trip. Thanks a lot. Congratulations, and keep going because you're gonna reach #1 Disney tips channel someday!
I followed this itinerary and it worked out perfectly! We even missed rope drop by abiut 10 mins but still worked out! We saw everything and even got to double up on a few rides! It was a perfect day thanks to this video! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge 🙏
I cannot tell you how helpful your videos have been for me. I'm going on a trip in September after years away from the park and I'm so overwhelmed by how different everything is. I literally sit here with a pen and paper out taking notes while binging your channel lol. Thank you so much for all you do!
You always give the most helpful advice, genie or not. Your suggestions on using genie with a group more than 4 was invaluable when my granddaughter was at the parks for senior year trip from NewJersey during spring break time I also was an actual video poker player at the casinos prior to Covid so your “playing the Disney slots” is a very apt analogy for me lol. Thanks again.
Hi Carol - so glad to hear it. 😃 Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to let us know how your trip went - we really appreciate it! Hope you had some great spins on the Genie Slots while you were here. 🧞♂️🎰
I have been researching for our Disney trip since 2021. The is the BEST video I have seen, and we will be following your example on our Animal Kingdom day. I'm so glad to have found your channel, and will be going back through your videos for tips at the other Disney parks.
Great video. You just had the dream DAK day! And it never occurred to me to bring flip flops for Kali River Rapids. I usually put my feet up on the bar and pray for the best. Thanks for the tip. Please do this for all the parks. I'd love to see how you tackle MK, HS, and Epcot with no bells and whistles.
We were at AK two days before you- it was insanely busy (your genie plus tips came in clutch for us!) Both of my teens agreed that Animal Kingdom is their favorite park! They just love Everest, Lion King, Safari and everything else. Loved seeing what a fun day you had there. 😊
I've binged a few of your video's. All I can say is, everyone of them is top notch. I've learned something new in every video. We are planning a trip to WDW next august with our family of 14. I've heard Disney may change Genie+ to making ride reservations online. I hated that before, but I'm hoping if it changes, you'll do more videos on how to plan in advance. Thanks for all you do.
Here's how long it's been since I have ridden Kali; I didn't know they took the storage thing out of the middle of the rafts 😀 Another great video Rob and Erick! Hope to meet you in a couple of weeks!
Hi Triton! They have them in Universal on Bilge Rat Barges (which gets you positively soaking wet every single time 😂). Hope to see you while you are here! 😃
Thank you so much for all the tips! We just got back from our daughters cheer competition at The Summit and I purchased one day park hoppers to go on Saturday! We also got genie plus and the lightening lane for Guardians of the Galaxy! We had a que for Tron and we hopped from MK to Epcot using the monorail! I only had one hiccup due to Tron running into my scheduled Frozen LL, but all was good and I was able to get on it with a 15 minute wait after Remy, Guardians and Test Tack! 9 rides and two shows and a sit down lunch at Pecos Bill in MK and 4 rides at Epcot plus an adult beverage and snack in France and the Epcot Forever show on the way out!🤩 we were exhausted, but we got to ride the all the rides we really wanted to and it was an awesome way to celebrate the end of Cheer for my daughter! Thanks so much!
Rob, another fabulous video! I wish we would have done this on our animal kingdom day, we waited an hour for mountain everest for an hour. We didnt get genie plus for every park, because with a party of 6 it gets very expensive. I saw it said $35 for easter day when you were recording. Wow, I can't believe it got that expensive, and stayed there for several days!! I love these no genie no problem videos, definitely helps please with families as the cost just adds up.
We're going as a family of 14. There is no way we can do the add on's of Genie+ for our crowd. We will have to learn as much as possible through these great video's.
I totally agree the lowest level is definitely the best on FOP. I DID THIS EXACT THING ON MY LAST TRIP. posted wait was 40 we waited 20. We got to see the beautiful lights. Thank you!!
Class is in session. Ear Scouts is the premier resource on doing WDW right! I've sent several of their videos to newbies and it's helped them to master Genie + and how to attack the parks. If Ear Scouts was a university it would be Harvard! Always an exciting evening in our home when we get the notice a new video is out! Thank you Professor Rob!
would love to see an animal kingdom no genie guide for when the park closes at 6! I wonder how similar the strategy is. thank you so much for your work, it's made our disney trips so much more enjoyable thank you!
As always such a helpful video! Thanks for offering different strategies for a variety of situations. I really appreciate the time stamps also. Your videos are the best!
I loved this video! So helpful and reassuring to know it can be done without genie +. Travelling in August and it’s all a little overwhelming but this has put me at ease a little bit 😊
Thank you Rob for posting this . Your videos were immeasurably helpful during our honeymoon at Disney last week (😢 it’s over) I would just like to comment something which might help the community . I found that the blanket advice not to us LL to book shows wasn’t entirely accurate My experience was that they were actually very helpful as long as you used an active LL ( ie not one that you’re invoking 2 hr rule on) - often LL for shows are available up to 30 mins before showtime without ever running out . Let’s say it’s 300 and I want to watch the Indy stunt spectacular at 345. I don’t have time to necessarily do something prior to the show . I book the LL, head to the event , am allowed into the theatre early , get prime seats at 315, and start the clock for my next LL while waiting for the show I just got to enter the theatre and pick my seat for a hot show, and only sacrificed 15 mins on my LL clock
What a great idea. I love this strategy and will likely recommend it in a future video. Thanks for sharing! 😃 Also, congratulations - hope you had an amazing honeymoon. ❤️
It’s actually how we do the parks on the days we go just for fun. We always have a great time without the Genie. That said, if there was a Genie upgrade to our Annual Passes, we’d probably buy it in a heartbeat. 😅
Great tips in this video! It looked like a wonderful day and I'm glad to hear you can do it all without Genie Plus as long as you have a good strategy. Your Kali River Rapids experience made me think of something-- I have a video suggestion-- since you are often going to WDW by yourself, can you do a video going over the rides in WDW that are not single friendly? I'm in a family of 3 adults, which often means two of us pair up and one of us is the "odd man out" and has to ride with a stranger in a ride. I'd love to know in advance which rides will let you ride alone or are designed like Space Mountain where everyone is single file, or rides that can fit 3 adults. Seven Dwarfs was awful and I was uncomfortably squished next to a stranger so I'm wanting more info on ride vehicles before our next trip.
We just visited Animal Kingdom for the first time today. Followed your advice and it worked out perfectly. This video was incredibly helpful - thank you so much
Thanks Rob! Your videos are by far the most helpful & informative. Love how you break things down & show what’s going on in the app. (Also loved that you switched ears for the rapids, lol)
Thanks for another great video! I will be there in a few weeks...and will probably get Genie + for almost every day. This plan may just let me save one day!! Touring alone I will be able to cover ground quickly!! Thanks so much!
Your videos are always so informative and some of the most helpful out there, thanks for another great video. I’m a pretty seasoned veteran but feel like I always pick up some new tips and tricks, thank you!😃
Always great advice and tips! We watched several of your videos on Magic Kingdom and EPCOT and ending up getting to ride and see everything we wanted, in an action-packed and efficient day! Thanks Ear Scouts!
Just to say we used this strategy yesterday. Our third day at the parks after MK & HS the day before where we used Genie+ using your tips (which were so useful thankyou!) our kids hit the jet lag wall at 1pm and wanted to go home but we had done 3/4 of that park and had lunch by that point. So useful, Thankyou! We did Everest twice in 15 mins first thing this morning, and then were a walk on for kali river rapids.
Thanks so much for the recommendation to watch the disney+ TV programme on the animal conservation work going on, really interesting and can't wait to hopefully see some of the stars of the show.. and oh goodness how sweet was that porcupet in the final episode. Now need them to film the follow up series 😊
Hi Armin! I got mine at Target years ago and I love it, but this is the latest version of it: amzn.to/3HyqnbM Note that we make a small commission from the Amazon links on our channel. Thanks so much for watching!
How did I not know there were lockers by Kali 🤯 I am so excited to finally go on this ride when we go to DAK in July 🥵 and need a cool down. That flip flop idea is genius too. I learn so much from your videos. Thanks Rob!
Love your videos! They are the best I’ve found!! Can you do more park hopping with genie plus combos when you get a chance - loved the first one you had made
WOw! WHat a difference a couple days makes... We were in AK The Friday before Easter and it was a MAD HOUSE! Even using Ginie+ and Everest being down all Day, we still missed Navi River Journey before we had to Park Hop to HS for a Dinner Reservation... The biggest Mistake we made was getting to the Park an hour late... Do yourselves a Favor and get there EARLY!
Great AK 👍 Park Day My kind of Disney Park experience…NO NO Disney Genie Scheduling 🤪 You make it simple to retain the info 🎉 The amount of TIME ⏱️ COST $$ and effort to use technology on a Disney Park Day 🥵 Exhausting ..🥵 Thanks for sharing 🎉
headed to Disney in a couple weeks for a few nights with the family. your videos have really put me at ease and given great insight on how to best tackle this trip. Thank you.
Thanks for another fab video. Back to wdw in 20 sleeps for our 6th visit from the UK but our 1st with the new G+ system - thanks to ur tips we won't be needing to buy it every day 😊!
Hi Rachael - that’s so exciting! Your trip will be here before you know it. 😃 I feel like you can easily skip Genie Plus at Animal Kingdom and Epcot. Especially if you have early entry and/or plan to be there from rope drop to park close. Thanks for watching - we hope you have an amazing vacation! 😃
When would you recommend is the best time of year to go the maximise the chances of it being quieter? My husband and I can go anytime as it’s just us 🎉 Is there any times to completely avoid?
Hey 😊 I followed these tips last year in September and it worked ALL perfectly. I wanted to ask if there is any particular difference now with Lightning Lanes… are you recreating the series “no LL no problem”? 😅 Or can we just stick to this one here as it is still quite uptodate?
Hi Tiffany! We are planning to do all the parks, but so far we just have this one and Magic Kingdom, which you can find here: th-cam.com/video/yl8Wdh8xkPE/w-d-xo.html Thanks for watching! 😃
That was awesome! Everyone wonders if Genie+ is needed at AK and you definitely just proved it is not necessary! It is such a joy to watch you have fun in the parks 😊 Glad you brought up the Landry’s secret… I’m not sure if it has changed, but we did this years ago when our little ones wanted to go to T-Rex. At that time, you could sign up ahead of time online and then use that initial $25 reward when you arrived. You also get an additional $25 birthday reward every year, so the one time membership fee is definitely worth it! Glad you didn’t have to wait 80 mins for FOP, but I kinda wanted to see you eat your ears 😂
Im going mid August, and will be at Animal Kingdom. It always feels so much warmer at Animal Kingdom. I might try your method here, crowd levels are supposed to be a 5 but at no time have I ever been to Disney when the crowds were like what I see the youtubers post. Im usually elbow to elbow humans waiting 90 minutes for a sip of water 😆
Thanks for all the tips. And I would like to give you extra props for making it clear when things are your opinion and reminding people that their opinion may differ.
Thanks so much - glad you enjoyed it. And also a huge thank your for the “Super Thanks!” That was very kind of you. Hope you have a great time at the parks next time you visit. 😀
@@EarScoutsthank you we will be there the 17-23 of March. Taking my daughter for her 16th birthday (also happens to be my evenolder birthday but that doesn't matter). Can't wait I haven't been in 30 years and she hasn't in 8
So glad you didn't have to eat your ears! 😅 Your tips are always really helpful, but they were super amazing today - that flip flop idea is great, and the Landry's tip is SO GOOD, I really want to see about the lower level of flight of passage now as well, so many ideas for our next trip! Also you're totally right AK is the best park 😃🥰
Can you still finish all the main rides and shows if not doing rope drop but genie+? This is the park after a night out late for late entry … so AK will be the following day and there’s no way we could get up at early entry or rope drop after doing late entry the night before… will we still complete enough or should I move it? We will be getting back to the hotel possibly 1-2am night prior to Ak. So we plan on being at AK 10-11am… but want to finish Navi , River rapids, safari and maybe 1 show like lion king..
You're by far the best "Conquer Disney" guy out there. Quick Question: If we do have early admission but are towards the back would you do river journey then line up for Flight of Passage before park opening or skip flight and do the other rides first. No genie plus
If you plan to stay until park close, definitely wait until the end of the night for Flight like we showed in this video. Otherwise, I’d start with Navi and then keep an eye on wait times in the app and hope to catch it on a dip. The morning will likely be crazy. Thanks for watching and sharing this sweet comment! 😃
Hi Karen! We haven’t done those parks yet, unfortunately. They are definitely on the list, but we likely won’t have those done before your trip. Hollywood Studios is tough to do on busy days. Epcot less so. If you have the ability to use early entry at Hollywood Studios, check out our bells and whistles video we just did: th-cam.com/video/-I79q2CF9dk/w-d-xo.html As you can see, it’s possible to do so much in early entry that Genie really isn’t necessary. Good luck! 🍀🤞 And thanks for watching!
Hi Rob! How long does it take to walk the animal trails at this park? Also do you know if the paper you draw on at the Animation Experience fits in a standard folder? My child wants to frame it when we get home and we would like to avoid getting it wrinkled while we’re at the park. Thanks!
Thank you for this video! I haven't watched all the way through yet but your content is so helpful! We are going to AK and HS with park hopper on May 21st but I can't decide which park to start in. AK opens at 9AM that day (later than HS). Can hours change closer to the day is my big question? Which park would you recommend starting in? Will be using genie plus and ILLs to "stack". I watch all your videos! Thanks for any thought.
Hi Stacey! Hours can and do often change closer to the date. It is likely AK will open earlier if they make any change at all. It almost always makes more sense to start a Genie Plus day in Animal Kingdom and stack your Lightning Lanes for the second park because AK has fewer Genie Plus heavy hitters, so it is easy to knock them out between stacking for the next park and because AK will pretty much always close earlier. Also, there is no nighttime show in AK - all the others now have one. That said, I prefer hopping into AK when I don’t have Genie because so many people do the opposite and the park often gets nice and quiet for the second half of the day. Thanks for watching! 😃
I love that you admit when you don’t know something. It makes non experts feel better about not knowing everything.
Hey Nurse Justin! I learn something new pretty much every time I go to Disney World. 😂 Thanks for watching!
I am from Brazil and going to Disney tomorrow. Man, congratulations! I´ve been watching your videos in the last 2 months and you rock it!
Thanks so much. 😊 Hope you have an amazing vacation!
Probably the best YT channel for first-time visitors like me and my husband, specially being from another country. Can't tell you how useful your tips have been for us and how much time we feel we're saving on our 1 year anniversary trip. Thanks a lot. Congratulations, and keep going because you're gonna reach #1 Disney tips channel someday!
I followed this itinerary and it worked out perfectly! We even missed rope drop by abiut 10 mins but still worked out! We saw everything and even got to double up on a few rides! It was a perfect day thanks to this video!
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge 🙏
Your ears on Kali river rapids made me LOL! love your videos
The amount of effort and work that goes into this man’s videos are unparalleled. Thank you for the advice and tips. ❤
I cannot tell you how helpful your videos have been for me. I'm going on a trip in September after years away from the park and I'm so overwhelmed by how different everything is. I literally sit here with a pen and paper out taking notes while binging your channel lol. Thank you so much for all you do!
The time stamps are so helpful! I always wonder how long it takes to get through certain things! Loved the video!
Agreed!
You always give the most helpful advice, genie or not. Your suggestions on using genie with a group more than 4 was invaluable when my granddaughter was at the parks for senior year trip from NewJersey during spring break time
I also was an actual video poker player at the casinos prior to Covid so your “playing the Disney slots” is a very apt analogy for me lol. Thanks again.
Hi Carol - so glad to hear it. 😃 Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to let us know how your trip went - we really appreciate it! Hope you had some great spins on the Genie Slots while you were here. 🧞♂️🎰
I have been researching for our Disney trip since 2021. The is the BEST video I have seen, and we will be following your example on our Animal Kingdom day. I'm so glad to have found your channel, and will be going back through your videos for tips at the other Disney parks.
I love your outfits and ears! The Poncho and inflatable ears is everything
Last week, rope droppers put avatar up to. 75 minute wait straight off the bat! We walked onto to Navi river Journey and even had our own boat 🤩
This worked perfectly for us. Thank you so much for your great information and passion for doing this. You're awesome!
I love how you want us to say hi if we see you. Deep inside I hate to bother folks but with permission I know it’s ok.
Where did you get your brilliant waterproof jacket with ears please?
I want that poncho! Love it...
Great video. You just had the dream DAK day! And it never occurred to me to bring flip flops for Kali River Rapids. I usually put my feet up on the bar and pray for the best. Thanks for the tip. Please do this for all the parks. I'd love to see how you tackle MK, HS, and Epcot with no bells and whistles.
Same! I’m bringing flops now
12:00 Dr. Seeker going from “their not gonna make it!” to “you made it!” Makes me crack up each time!
We were at AK two days before you- it was insanely busy (your genie plus tips came in clutch for us!) Both of my teens agreed that Animal Kingdom is their favorite park! They just love Everest, Lion King, Safari and everything else. Loved seeing what a fun day you had there. 😊

Thanks so much! Welcome aboard. 😃
You seriously have the best tips! So informative. Thank you!
Here's how long it's been since I have ridden Kali; I didn't know they took the storage thing out of the middle of the rafts 😀 Another great video Rob and Erick! Hope to meet you in a couple of weeks!
Hi Triton! They have them in Universal on Bilge Rat Barges (which gets you positively soaking wet every single time 😂). Hope to see you while you are here! 😃
I didn’t know they were gone either!
The flip flops is a HUGE TIP!
Thank you so much for all the tips! We just got back from our daughters cheer competition at The Summit and I purchased one day park hoppers to go on Saturday! We also got genie plus and the lightening lane for Guardians of the Galaxy! We had a que for Tron and we hopped from MK to Epcot using the monorail! I only had one hiccup due to Tron running into my scheduled Frozen LL, but all was good and I was able to get on it with a 15 minute wait after Remy, Guardians and Test Tack! 9 rides and two shows and a sit down lunch at Pecos Bill in MK and 4 rides at Epcot plus an adult beverage and snack in France and the Epcot Forever show on the way out!🤩 we were exhausted, but we got to ride the all the rides we really wanted to and it was an awesome way to celebrate the end of Cheer for my daughter! Thanks so much!
Great video. We saw you walking into AK last Saturday so patiently waiting for your new video. ❤ You are the best!

Animal kingdom can definitely be done without genie! Easily. I arrived once around noon and had Tusker house lunch and still did everything!
Thanks for the tip about the "free" tip board!

Thank you for making this video!! I feel ready for our AK day coming up on May 17th 2023.
Good tip on the flip flops I know what you mean I have been soaked on the raft ride to I love it especially in a papaya ride at Islands of Adventure
I absolutely LOVE your Donald Duck shirt!
Thanks so much, Chris. It is one of my all-time faves. ❤️ Thanks for watching! 😃
thank you for the tips!
I LOVE THIS!! thank youuu
great video! I learned alot!!
This video was great! Will you be making a similar video for Epcot?
Great video. We usually hit Everest first thing and ride it several times before everything else.
Thanks for this! We’ll be at AK on Columbus Day and it’s nice to see a strategy that works for a holiday.
Thanks for another great video! I will be there in a few weeks...and will probably get Genie + for almost every day. This plan may just let me save one day!! Touring alone I will be able to cover ground quickly!! Thanks so much!

Your genie tips helped me and my family at Hollywood studios tremendously!!!🙌
That was so awesome! Thank you for your take on how to manage AK without Genie +❤
Wow! Incredible video. I have studied all of your vids and will be in really good shape in November. Thanks much Rob♥
Thanks so much, Iris. I hope you have an amazing visit this November. The parks are so beautiful that time of year. 😃
@@EarScouts indeed. we've been going every November for the last 20+ years.

WOw! WHat a difference a couple days makes... We were in AK The Friday before Easter and it was a MAD HOUSE! Even using Ginie+ and Everest being down all Day, we still missed Navi River Journey before we had to Park Hop to HS for a Dinner Reservation... The biggest Mistake we made was getting to the Park an hour late... Do yourselves a Favor and get there EARLY!
Amazing video, put my mind to rest that we wont spend the whole day in a queue! Do you have a no genie guide to Hollywood studios and Epcot?
Thanks so much! We haven’t done those parks yet, but they are coming. Hopefully in the next month or so. 🤞
I am also looking forward for that Epcot No genie guide! 🤩
Great AK 👍 Park Day
My kind of Disney Park

Thanks so much for watching - we hope you have an amazing vacation. 😃
Thanks for another fab video. Back to wdw in 20 sleeps for our 6th visit from the UK but our 1st with the new G+ system - thanks to ur tips we won't be needing to buy it every day 😊!
Hi Rachael - that’s so exciting! Your trip will be here before you know it. 😃 I feel like you can easily skip Genie Plus at Animal Kingdom and Epcot. Especially if you have early entry and/or plan to be there from rope drop to park close. Thanks for watching - we hope you have an amazing vacation! 😃
When would you recommend is the best time of year to go the maximise the chances of it being quieter? My husband and I can go anytime as it’s just us 🎉 Is there any times to completely avoid?
Hey 😊
I followed these tips last year in September and it worked ALL perfectly. I wanted to ask if there is any particular difference now with Lightning Lanes… are you recreating the series “no LL no problem”? 😅 Or can we just stick to this one here as it is still quite uptodate?
Thank you for this video! Have you done this type of video is all the parks? I would love to see it in all of the parks. So much great info!!
Hi Tiffany! We are planning to do all the parks, but so far we just have this one and Magic Kingdom, which you can find here: th-cam.com/video/yl8Wdh8xkPE/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for watching! 😃
We are going to AK in January, and the park is scheduled to close at 6. Would this change your strategy on when to ride the safari?
That was awesome! Everyone wonders if Genie+ is needed at AK and you definitely just proved it is not necessary! It is such a joy to watch you have fun in the parks 😊 Glad you brought up the Landry’s secret… I’m not sure if it has changed, but we did this years ago when our little ones wanted to go to T-Rex. At that time, you could sign up ahead of time online and then use that initial $25 reward when you arrived. You also get an additional $25 birthday reward every year, so the one time membership fee is definitely worth it! Glad you didn’t have to wait 80 mins for FOP, but I kinda wanted to see you eat your ears 😂
Im going mid August, and will be at Animal Kingdom. It always feels so much warmer at Animal Kingdom. I might try your method here, crowd levels are supposed to be a 5 but at no time have I ever been to Disney when the crowds were like what I see the youtubers post. Im usually elbow to elbow humans waiting 90 minutes for a sip of water 😆
Question: if we need to take advantage of rider swap can we still do that at the end of the night when trying for flight of passage?
This was great! I have a year before I get to go to Disney World again, but your videos are always so good. I didn't even know Kali had lockers!
Hi Stacey! It’s a game changer, especially when you pack those flip-flops. 😄 Thanks for watching!
Great detail and advice as per your norm! Many thanks.
Thanks so much - and thanks for watching! 😃
Thanks for all the tips. And I would like to give you extra props for making it clear when things are your opinion and reminding people that their opinion may differ.
Thanks so much - glad you enjoyed it. And also a huge thank your for the “Super Thanks!” That was very kind of you. Hope you have a great time at the parks next time you visit. 😀
@@EarScoutsthank you we will be there the 17-23 of March. Taking my daughter for her 16th birthday (also happens to be my evenolder birthday but that doesn't matter). Can't wait I haven't been in 30 years and she hasn't in 8
So glad you didn't have to eat your ears! 😅 Your tips are always really helpful, but they were super amazing today - that flip flop idea is great, and the Landry's tip is SO GOOD, I really want to see about the lower level of flight of passage now as well, so many ideas for our next trip! Also you're totally right AK is the best park 😃🥰
Ha!!! Literally said to myself that for 4 min wait I'd be looping Everest and you get off and say the same! That's crazy good!
Yup! Totally would have gone for at least three trips up the mountain if I was there just for fun. 😂 Such a great ride. Thanks for watching! 😃
Can you still finish all the main rides and shows if not doing rope drop but genie+? This is the park after a night out late for late entry … so AK will be the following day and there’s no way we could get up at early entry or rope drop after doing late entry the night before… will we still complete enough or should I move it? We will be getting back to the hotel possibly 1-2am night prior to Ak. So we plan on being at AK 10-11am… but want to finish Navi , River rapids, safari and maybe 1 show like lion king..
You're by far the best "Conquer Disney" guy out there. Quick Question: If we do have early admission but are towards the back would you do river journey then line up for Flight of Passage before park opening or skip flight and do the other rides first. No genie plus
If you plan to stay until park close, definitely wait until the end of the night for Flight like we showed in this video. Otherwise, I’d start with Navi and then keep an eye on wait times in the app and hope to catch it on a dip. The morning will likely be crazy. Thanks for watching and sharing this sweet comment! 😃
Thanks!
How does this work with Flight of Passage and the safari with park closing at 6pm?
Hi Rob love your vidoes, 9 of us are coming to Disneyworld 21st May. Do you have any videos for HS & Epcot without genie+ thanks x
Hi Karen! We haven’t done those parks yet, unfortunately. They are definitely on the list, but we likely won’t have those done before your trip. Hollywood Studios is tough to do on busy days. Epcot less so. If you have the ability to use early entry at Hollywood Studios, check out our bells and whistles video we just did: th-cam.com/video/-I79q2CF9dk/w-d-xo.html
As you can see, it’s possible to do so much in early entry that Genie really isn’t necessary. Good luck! 🍀🤞 And thanks for watching!
Hi Rob! How long does it take to walk the animal trails at this park? Also do you know if the paper you draw on at the Animation Experience fits in a standard folder? My child wants to frame it when we get home and we would like to avoid getting it wrinkled while we’re at the park. Thanks!
Where did you get your poncho?!
Thank you for this video! I haven't watched all the way through yet but your content is so helpful! We are going to AK and HS with park hopper on May 21st but I can't decide which park to start in. AK opens at 9AM that day (later than HS). Can hours change closer to the day is my big question? Which park would you recommend starting in? Will be using genie plus and ILLs to "stack". I watch all your videos! Thanks for any thought.
Hi Stacey! Hours can and do often change closer to the date. It is likely AK will open earlier if they make any change at all. It almost always makes more sense to start a Genie Plus day in Animal Kingdom and stack your Lightning Lanes for the second park because AK has fewer Genie Plus heavy hitters, so it is easy to knock them out between stacking for the next park and because AK will pretty much always close earlier. Also, there is no nighttime show in AK - all the others now have one. That said, I prefer hopping into AK when I don’t have Genie because so many people do the opposite and the park often gets nice and quiet for the second half of the day. Thanks for watching! 😃
Rob!!! Is this new or am I missing something? Lol I see a 6 pm virtual queue for Tron now!
Hi Robina - it’s for Extended Evening Hours. If you are staying at a Deluxe Resort hotel, you can book TRON at 6pm.
