    Another tip: If you ever have the opportunity to enter Animal Kingdom before sunrise, do it! I got to do this once. Pandora was still lit up and by the time we got off Flight of Passage, the sun was rising and the views were stunning! Also, hit the safari and walking trails first thing after Pandora. They usually start feeding after sunrise and the animals are out in full force! Thanks for another great and helpful video guys!

      That sounds so beautiful. I’ve never seen sunrise in Pandora, but I bet it’s incredible.

    Thanks for such thorough and informative videos, Rob! I was waiting for park-specific LLMP videos for our January trip, our older kids are going for the first time (ages 14, 12, 11, 9) so we aren't hopping. I've seen how great LLMP is for hopping though, so we will likely do it on future trips!

    • @EarScouts
      @EarScouts  2 месяца назад

      Thanks for watching, Hilary! While it is great for hopping, I find using the system to be way less stressful when you stick to one park per day, so it’s the perfect way to get familiar with how it all works.

    Hey Mr. Ear Scout, thank you very much for this very useful video. We will come on Saturday to Orlando for 10 days, from Germany, and we have a six day hopper pass. This is not the first time to be in the park but first time with lightning lane. I tried already to get some information about it, but your video is perfect to understand the idea behind it. We will stay all 10 days in the Disney Music hotel and we are really looking forward to it and after listening your video, we will start with Animal Kingdom. My daughter has worked for one year in Epcot Center in Germany 🙂 of World Showcase and the rest of the family is really Disney crazy. First day I was there in 1980, Honeymoon. Epcot was under construction and only Magic Kingdom was working. Now I`m 66 and still love Mickey. Last comment, your english is very good to understand for foreigners, some kind of queens English 😀. Very good for not native speaker. Looking forward to see your tour from the other parks. Peter

    Thank you! I’ve been waiting for a video like this for awhile. Most LL videos are just how to get as many rides as you can. This is the way I’m hoping to use multi pass.

    We looove your to the point videos. Mostly just the facts. Love it! On that note, have you 2 thought about doing the same for IOA and Universal Studios? Also, how to utilize the Hogwarts express to your advantage? And the hotels and how the different experiences work with them. Including staying with pets in both Universal and Disney hotels. We would love to see you guys address those things. Just a suggestion. You are our go to channel. Thanks for being so helpful in every video. Great work as always!!!

    I have 2 quick questions :
    1- What time was your Tusker House reservation ?
    2- Do you know what is the latest time for a LLSP for Flight of Passage ?
    Thank you so much!

    • @EarScouts
      @EarScouts  Месяц назад

      Thanks for watching! Our reservation was for 1:45 pm. I’m not positive about the latest time for Single Pass, but I think it is 30 minutes before park close. That is typically the latest time for Multi Pass as I recall.

    When booking multi pass 7 or 3 days out, can two people be booking for you group at the same time? For example, can i be booking MK and my husband be booking Epcot, so we can get two parks booked as early as we can? Or do we need to go day by day? I was pretty good at Genie plus.

    • @EarScouts
      @EarScouts  2 месяца назад +2

      Hi Heather! Yes - you can definitely book different days simultaneously. If you felt confident using Genie Plus, you’ll be comfortable using this very quickly. There are a lot of similarities. Thanks for watching! 😃

    When we were there in summer we did your, go in line just before park closes, tip. I told my family "no worries, it says 45 minutes but it will not take that long" unfortunatley I think the ride got down several times so we waited even more than the posted 45 minutes 😂
    And when we came out a thunderstrom was going on. So we were completely soaked when we arrived at the car.😩

    Thanks so much for this video, it has been so helpful. We are spending our first park day 11/27 starting in Animal Kingdom and park hopping to Hollywood Studios around 3pm. We are planning on purchasing multipass, but will also be part of a group using DAS at Animal Kingdom (they aren't joining us during our park hop to Hollywood). To talk strategy, should we use our pre-book Mulitpass LLs for Hollywood only? We don't really need them for AK if we're using the DAS system, right? Any advice would be so appreciated.

    • @EarScouts
      @EarScouts  2 месяца назад

      Hello! That sounds like a super fun day. Even though you don’t “need” Lightning Lanes in Animal Kingdom, you do need to unlock the ability to book multiple Tier One attractions in Studios. I’d suggest starting in AK and book something right when the park opens. It’s Tough to Be a Bug is usually available really early without a lot of effort. As soon as you arrive, tap in and then book your three Tier 1 attractions in Studios. You can modify your other two AK LLs to be Studios rides. Also, I wouldn’t recommend spending your rope drop time watching Tough to be a Bug - you could watch it later if you really wanted, but that early time is best for getting short waits on rides. Just tap in and unlock. Hope that helps!

  • @TraceeCraft-c5o

    I see this video was made on a low crowd day at AK. We will be there on a high crowd day, the week of Presidents Day. Would your strategy change at all for a high crowd day? We can take advantage of early entry if needed, although with 5 park days in a row if it’s not needed we may enjoy the extra sleep! 😅

  • @alissacostabile3140
    @alissacostabile3140 14 дней назад

    Do you still think we need a multipass this spring when it's tough to be a bug, maybe dinosaur, triceratops spin, and River rapids are closed? We have the convenience of early entry with our hotel. We were thinking we might just need a single pass for flight of passage.

  • @andreadailey3569

  • @yankeesusa1
    @yankeesusa1 2 месяца назад

    Question, once you finish your 3 picks for the day, do you get more picks from the lightning lane pass if only staying at 1 Park?

    • @EarScouts
      @EarScouts  2 месяца назад

      You can book another Lightning Lane as soon as you use one, so you are not limited to those initial three. But once you have used the Lightning Lane once for each attraction in the park, you cannot book them again so you would need to visit another park to continue booking more attractions in that same day.

    Hi! So we are staying at the Signia Hilton hotel which is an official Disney hotel. Last time we were given early entry. Do you know if we will be able to book 7 days in advance too? We were able to book our restaurants 60 days out. So I’m assuming yes since we got the other benefits.

    • @EarScouts
      @EarScouts  2 месяца назад

      Hello! Unfortunately, it is my understanding that this particular benefit is reserved for Disney operated hotels along with Swan, Dolphin and Shades of Green. Please let us know if you are able to book early and we’ll update our guides. Hope you have an amazing vacation either way. Thanks for watching! 😃
