Just got back from 5 days in the park and standby skipper was a godsend in Magic Kingdom and Hollywood Studios! I think it’s less important for Epcot and Animal Kingdom, but that’s only because there are less rides in general that you can use genie plus to book. One thing to be careful about though (which she mentions in the video) is with how you schedule certain rides bc we ended up zig zagging all over Magic Kingdom. However, we literally got on 10 lightening lanes in one day at MK using standby skipper. Great tool and one I seriously hope the mouse doesn’t end up shutting down…I was wanting to know if it’s a person or they have some kind of bot running the searches.
Great video and advice!! Does SS have access to all of your Advanced Dining Reservations? And lastly, does it cancel a specific ride search if you happened to find and book it on your own in MDE?
We did this for our trip in March. I will never go to Disney World again without Genie+ and Standby Skipper. It was SO easy and stress free. A wonderful experience!
I have standby skipper linked to MDE I am going to buy standby skipper before we go November 7th will it automatically know to start working for lightning lanes November 7th I am okay with zig zagging would you recommend just setting everything to anytime then just enjoy I am going for my anniversary
Oh! Good question that I forgot to cover! It’s for the group! As long as you have your group linked in MDE, they will also pop up in the SS app! And that price covers the group up to 12 guests.
Plane leaves at 5 o’clock in the morning. If I set this up and I have reservations for the day of our arrival, will it make the Genie reservations for me?
Yes! As long as you set it up sometime between 12am-6:50am on the day of. We’ve done this before & I was concerned about the flight and our service affecting this. But SS told me that even if we turned our phone off the app will still search for the lightning lane.
I’m 95% sure you can do as many rides (that are within Genie+) as you want. Though I’d suggest batching attractions so you’re not crisscrossing the park. As well as starting with higher priority rides.
Have you ever gone with a large group? We are going with 11 people in July. We would like to do as much as possible together. Do you have any tips to share?
So I actually just published a podcast with a friend who did Disney with 10 people! She goes into lots as well as how they did Genie+. open.spotify.com/episode/6bIhajKUbBNYeM0lxxoNgP?si=HLLPwGubQvKNBubU3ofcQg
If I’m going the week of July 4th (I know I’m nervous on how crowded it’s going to be) we are going to MK on 7/3. If I’m going to try to get in the que for tron when would be a good time to do stand by skipper? Can I do stand by skipper once I’ve secured a spot for Tron Sorry this is going to be our first trip to Disney and I’m trying to get my life together 😂
I’d suggest setting up standby skipper (entering a search) before 7am EST. That way you can grab the Tron ILL or virtual queue at 7am and standby skipper will grab your first LL for you. Just to be clear, Tron is an individual lightning lane (ILL), so it’s a separate purchase and not included in Genie+. I hope y’all have a great first trip! 😊
Hi, my family’s Disney trip will be this may and im planning to purchase standby skipper to maximize our time there. I already have my park tickets which is a 5 day park day which has an off time in the middle week. And i plan to purchase a 7 week standby skipper, so can i do that even our park days are only 5 days? Also i want the standby skipper to book all lighting lane rides all asap so does it schedule us to rides that are close to each other so as not going back and forth the park?
How exciting! Your trip is so soon! You’ll definitely want to “batch” your searches otherwise you may end up crisscrossing the park. For example, if you know you’re starting at Fantasyland, only have SS search that are located in fantasyland. Then later, as it has booked rides for you & you plan to head to a different area of the park, take a few minutes & enter in attractions that are in the area you’ll be heading to next. Great question & thanks for watching! 😊💕

Do we purchase the lighting lanes first in order to use standby skipper? I’m confused
Have you used standby skipper since Genie+ is out and LLMP and LLSP are in?
Great video and advice!! Does SS have access to all of your Advanced Dining Reservations?
And lastly, does it cancel a specific ride search if you happened to find and book it on your own in MDE?

That’s awesome! They’re such a great service to have! Glad you enjoyed it!

With the new system , are they updating skipper or did they get rid of it … can’t seem to download their app
@@erikahidalgo8596 They just updated it! Should be working now!
Is the 7 day price per person or as a group?
Oh! Good question that I forgot to cover! It’s for the group! As long as you have your group linked in MDE, they will also pop up in the SS app! And that price covers the group up to 12 guests.
@@bibbidibobbidibestie wow that’s a great deal!
@@julianorwood4326 It is such a steal! Seeing that it’s an add-on, it’s a minor one at that!

how many standby searches can we do at once?
I’m 95% sure you can do as many rides (that are within Genie+) as you want. Though I’d suggest batching attractions so you’re not crisscrossing the park. As well as starting with higher priority rides.

Just here to say I’m honeymooning in Disney and will be at MK on July 3rd as well!
Does it book multiple rides at a time or just one ride of your choice?
It does book multiple ride throughout the day. The Genie+ rules of booking a LL every 2 hours or once you banded into a ride does apply. :)
@@bibbidibobbidibestie Oh ok, wow! Thank you!
@@whidden72 Of course! I have two other videos in the queue that go over how to get the max usage out Standby Skipper! Hope you follow along! :)
@@bibbidibobbidibestie Oh were are the videos? I can't seem to find them?
@@whidden72 Just uploaded one: th-cam.com/video/S3S1zvVnhH8/w-d-xo.html I have one more waiting to be edited! :)
