On July 5 I reserved a lightning lane for Tiana at 7am while my wife did virtual queue for Tron. Then at 1pm we got a virtual queue for Tiana, so we got to ride twice. Good tips and content!
Thanks for all of your research and testing with this. The 1:00 VQ experiment was really helpful. And thank you for the spoiler warning! I’m trying to avoid seeing video of the ride until we go in a few weeks and I appreciate you putting the footage at the end. ❤
Hey Rob!! Thank you for all the great tips! You have made our families past two years of Disney trips the best!!! Tiana’s ride was awesome!! I was the one who said hi as you and Eric were getting on the boat on opening day in the Ear Scouts Shirt!
I’m so bummed we didn’t have the chance to meet you. The boat crew was so impressed that someone was wearing a shirt from our channel. 😂 Thanks so much for watching and saying hello. I hope we get to meet you properly next time you come to visit!
Thank you for your videos! We just went with a toddler from open to close park hopping & didn’t have to wait in lines thanks to your tips & tricks! My husband kept saying I was a genie + wizard. Lol seriously THANK YOU!! ❤
Great video as ever. Something I found when "tapping like a crazy person" for the virtual queue was if I pressed it too quickly it didn't do a proper refresh. However if I pressed it say once per second then it would refresh fully, which is pretty crucial when you get literally seconds to join it.
Interesting. We haven’t had that issue, but it may depend on the phone and whether you have a screen protector, etc. The good thing is that you can tell as you are tapping when it recognizes your tap so you can adjust accordingly before the big moment arrives. Thanks for letting us know!
This video helped me so much! I was able to get the unpaid virtual queue at 7am in boarding group TWO!?! It was a Saturday in July, so I was shocked. Thank you for giving me the confidence to snag this and enjoy this special ride with my whole party first thing in the day! It was perfect because we left in the afternoon for H20 Glow :P
Thank you SO MUCH for this! We are going to Disney next week (before the big change), and we are grateful for your instructions. You are a fabulous teacher!
Hi Amanda! Thank you so much for this very kind Super Thanks! I apologize that it has taken me so long to reply, but Erick and I both really appreciate your kind support for our channel. 😀
Thank you for the great tips you always share with us. I really like your channel. Without you, a lot of people are lost! Your video’s helped our visit in march to be less frustrating. Typical Disney, when people start to understand the system “genie+” they change it in something else. Hate also the fact that they force you to buy genie+ or to let you be the idiot to tap like a crazy person to expierence the new rides. The fact that they let in to many Lightning lanes so the regular line doesnt move an inch is really frustrating also. The park could be so magical but their policy frustrate a lot of visitors. The only Disney park that didnt frustrate us was animal kingdom
Thank you for this! I'm excited to see how it goes tomorrow for the first Extended Evening Hours Virtual Queue too! Should be interesting. I really appreciate the spoiler warning too. I'm heading there tomorrow and have been trying really hard to avoid spoilers so I can see it with fresh eyes!
Hi our dear friend my name is waleed I’m from Bahrain. Me and my family are your biggest fans we were watching all of your tips and strategies and you are the best we spend all the days and nights with my kid Yusuf until we sleep on your videos it took us months every day watching and learning from you before our trip to desiny Orlando we went to all of the 4 parks used geny + all of you recommend we applied from 19 June to 1 July stayed at dolphin resort used the early entry and late night you my friend helped us great help you were our guide and mentor we can’t thank you enough from our heart we traveled more than 23hours from Bahrain to Dubai waited 7 hours transit then 15 hours to fly to Orlando plus the time to reach the resort and where with us all the way honestly your are our best RUclipsr and deserve much more we consider ourselves your family in Bahrain and wish to meet you one day and thank you in person. Thanks million time I hope your read our massage. As you mentioned recently unfortunately we are overseas so the new service as bad for us, but we were fortunate to travel before. I wish you a great health and wealth. Yours Waleed
They really need to get rid of the boarding groups for TRON and Guardians now - it’s been well over a year for TRON and over two for Guardians. Just let people line up normally! Making people choose between Tiana’s and TRON or pay extra is ridiculous and unfair.
While I also wish we could just jump in line normally for those rides, I wonder how that would really pan out. From my experience, I got a later boarding group for TRON (I entered the queue around 9:30 pm). While I was happy that I was going to get to ride at nighttime, the VQ was so backed up from breaking down before that the line took longer than an hour. It seems crazy that disney limits the number of people who can join an attraction, and the line is still over an hour sometimes. That was the only time I did VQ but it makes me think the standby line would be incredibly long if it existed and that the LL's would run out instantly. I would like those rides to be standby and LL but I am curious how that would pan out.
It’s definitely time for Guardians to go, especially with Test Track closed. That said, I prefer the shorter wait that sometimes comes with a Virtual Queue (though not always).
Thank you we are going to MK on the 15th we are worried about Tiana I wanted to ride the bayou at night time to enjoy the lights of the bayou now I feel like I have to do it 1st thing in the morning
OMG my trip is on july 25th. I just wish Genie+ could continue the way it is. We´ll how it goes with the new LL multi pass. Thanks so much for your videos. You explain very good. Last year I learned to use Genie+ thanks to you and it was acomplet sucess.
I’m guessing we won’t be able to change these 3 attractions we got before the day we visist the park… 🤔 so many questions 😅 but we have to wait 🤷🏻♀️. Your videos are great! Thank you so much, you help a loooot to make our experience better 💜
I'm going the day after the switch - very nervous that there'll be kinks in the system that get in the way. I was JUST getting the hang of Genie+ haha! I'm sort of confused because I'm staying on property the 24th, doing the parks the 25th, but I'm guessing I won't be able to make my reservations 7 days in advance... So not sure how that'll work out but! Hoping to get on Tiana's - it's why we're going!
On July 24th - if the VQ is still going on for Tiana’s - do you recommend hitting the VQ or trying to get the LL Multipass for it? I’m staying at the Poly and of course my MK day is exactly 7 days from the 24th 🤪🤦🏼♀️
I'm so glad they just opened this ride because I have no interest in it but I'm hoping it will take some pressure off of other things I have my eye on lol
Thank you Rob and Erick, great video! I’ll be using your separate devices tip , in my case my iPad and android phone, to try for some multi passes on July 24. When you got your virtual queue how long was the wait? How much of it was inside the building and how much outside? Thanks again.
Does anyone remember how it was to stand in lines, no fast passes, no vq's etc? We've been going to Disney annually when there was only MK and EPCOT. There were no phones to keep us entertained while waiting, we actually talked to each other and the folks in line with us, enjoying the interesting ques. Waiting was just what we did, and we always had amazing vacations. Now it just seems like all the real disney magic is gone, replaced with staring at our phones so we could save time standing in line. I get it, disney is expensive and we all want to get the most bang for our buck, but the human element is being stripped away from the park experience. Its really sad.
We hear that a lot and we know it is frustrating for a lot of people. I did want to share that it is still possible to enjoy the parks and only use the regular standby queues. Check out our “No Genie, No Problem” series for tips on getting the most out of your visit without bothering with Lightning Lanes. Thanks for watching!
I know we don’t know much yet, but with the new lightning lane change, can you only book 3 LLs total for your trip, or do you think it’s a per-day thing prior to arrival?
Once it changes to Lightning Lane multi pass, can you purchase that in advance as then we can book 3 or 7 days in advance depending on where you are staying? So you can book multi pass LL before purchasing the pass or do you purchase the LL multi pass 3 or 7 days prior to first book your tier 1 and 2 LL?
Something has to be done about the pressure of purchasing additional rides after paying $150 just to enter. I get the park is fun and immersive but still attractions are slim for the price paid
Things definitely add up pretty quickly at WDW, but I wanted to make sure you knew that you can ride every attraction (including Tiana) without paying extra. You’ll just have to use the free “Virtual Queue” system until it changes over to having a regular standby queue. Thanks for watching!
Great video! I had a question about booking the virtual queue.. We would like to book both the Tyana adventure ride and Tron at the same time at 7am using the same account on the Disney app. Can we do that? I was going to book the tron and my wife was going to book the Tyana ride at 7am at the same time using the same account on the app. Is that possible?
Hello! Unfortunately you won’t be able to book 2 different VQ’s at the same time. Also, you will only be able to book another one after you use the first one. My recommendation will be for you to book Tiana’s first and with any luck, if your boarding group for Tiana’s gets call before 1 pm, you will be able to book the VQ for Tron at 1 pm.
Hi Rob! I am a little confused. You can only join one virtual queue for the day or per ride? I’m trying to figure out then if you can join Tiana’s queue at 7 and then join tron’s queue at 1 pm or 6pm if staying at a qualifying hotel? Thank you!
So basically you telling me that i have to choose between Tron and Tiana on Virtual Que , i cant get both at the same day , but for example can i do a virtual q at 7pn and another on at 1pm if i want to join tiana at 1pm n tron at 7pm can i do that ?
You can only hold one virtual queue spot at a time. So you could get Tiana’s at 7am and Tron at 1pm BUT ONLY if your boarding group has been called by 1pm. If you get Tiana in the morning, but your group isn’t called until 2pm, you wouldn’t be able to get a virtual queue spot for Tron unless it still had availability at 2pm.
Oh question! You said you can only get one virtual boarding group per day? Can we try for Tiana’s at 7am then Tron for 1pm? Or do you have to choose only one?
Hello! Yes, you can definitely try to do this. Your boarding group for Tiana’s needs to be called before 1 pm so you can tap-in and then you can try to join the VQ for Tron right at 1 pm.
Thank you for the informative video, but I’ll say this for the thousandth time: the fact that anyone has to RUclips how to ride an attraction at Disney is a HUGE problem. It shouldn’t be this complicated. I can’t imagine how difficult this is for older people who aren’t tech savvy. Disney has really gone downhill over the past several years.
Rob is such a GREAT TEACHER!! We truly appreciate your efforts!
Thank so much! 😊

Amazing Rob!!
Always the most helpful videos!! I’m anxiously waiting for an update from Disney that will save us, sad international Disney fans! 😂
You are so good at explaining things...you really have a gift for it! Great job 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Nobody better you’re the best at explaining of useful information on RUclips, thanks
Thanks for all of your research and testing with this. The 1:00 VQ experiment was really helpful. And thank you for the spoiler warning! I’m trying to avoid seeing video of the ride until we go in a few weeks and I appreciate you putting the footage at the end. ❤
Rob it was great meeting you that day! My daughter was super excited to see herself (however brief lol) in the video!
It was great to meet you, too. Thanks for saying hello. I thought about you as I was editing that section. 😃
Love how detailed you are with pictures to match. Very helpful 👍🏼
Hey Rob!! Thank you for all the great tips! You have made our families past two years of Disney trips the best!!! Tiana’s ride was awesome!! I was the one who said hi as you and Eric were getting on the boat on opening day in the Ear Scouts Shirt!
I’m so bummed we didn’t have the chance to meet you. The boat crew was so impressed that someone was wearing a shirt from our channel. 😂 Thanks so much for watching and saying hello. I hope we get to meet you properly next time you come to visit!
Thank you for your videos! We just went with a toddler from open to close park hopping & didn’t have to wait in lines thanks to your tips & tricks! My husband kept saying I was a genie + wizard. Lol seriously THANK YOU!! ❤
Great video as ever. Something I found when "tapping like a crazy person" for the virtual queue was if I pressed it too quickly it didn't do a proper refresh. However if I pressed it say once per second then it would refresh fully, which is pretty crucial when you get literally seconds to join it.

Thank you, Roboito… always the best GP+ as usual!

I pray this strategy works for me next week.❤ Thanks!😊
Good luck! 🍀
Bam got me earlier with the bait and switch hahah. Thank you for posting. Watching now!
Sorry for the bait and switch. 😂 We were having some technical difficulties.
@@EarScouts all good, just giving you guys a hard time. :) Your videos always make my day.
I love your videos so much! Thanks to you I have been able to have a smooth day on our Disney visits.
You’re amazing! Thank you for all that you do. You’re smile makes me so Happy:)
Thanks!
Hi Amanda! Thank you so much for this very kind Super Thanks! I apologize that it has taken me so long to reply, but Erick and I both really appreciate your kind support for our channel. 😀
I was wondering about MNSSHP and if riding this during the party would be possible. I guess we will have to wait and see.

@@EarScouts Nope. There was no VQ or standby line which was a bummer. But we got a Tron VQ instead, and we’ll try for Tiana’s tomorrow morning. :)
Thank you Rob. I will be there in 10 days.
Hoping all the tips will work on our trip this month! We are just going to miss the new system roll-out.

Rode on Saturday, right after the rain. Great video.
I just rode tiana’s with a lightning lane. I enjoyed it
Thanks Rob, love the ears
They really need to get rid of the boarding groups for TRON and Guardians now - it’s been well over a year for TRON and over two for Guardians. Just let people line up normally! Making people choose between Tiana’s and TRON or pay extra is ridiculous and unfair.
Disney wants to keep riding that FOMO money train. Can't get a VQ then you gotta pay to ride or you don't even get to ride.
While I also wish we could just jump in line normally for those rides, I wonder how that would really pan out. From my experience, I got a later boarding group for TRON (I entered the queue around 9:30 pm).

Once it comes off the Virtual Queue, it should be pretty easy to ride in the evening using the standby queue - especially during fireworks.
Your videos are the best!
Great video! And thanks for the up to date information!
Thanks as always - love all the videos
OMG my trip is on july 25th. I just wish Genie+ could continue the way it is. We´ll how it goes with the new LL multi pass. Thanks so much for your videos. You explain very good. Last year I learned to use Genie+ thanks to you and it was acomplet sucess.
There is everyone else, then there is Rob and Erick with Ear Scouts!!!! The best!!!!!
Hello TrevaSullins! Thank you so much for your sweet words, we really appreciate them ☺️

I'll be there in late Sept so will just pick it for Multi Pass.
Rob what about on a special night event like Mickey’s not so scary Halloween party is it recommended to purchase the new multi pass for Tiana bayou
Yay!! The video is back!!! 🤩

Can you please do a typhoon lagoon moonlight magic video please
We don’t have access to Moonlight Magic, unfortunately.
I set alarms for life in general I tend to forget or maybe napping😮😅
I'm so glad they just opened this ride because I have no interest in it but I'm hoping it will take some pressure off of other things I have my eye on lol
that is what I was thinking too! I will find out in a couple weeks lol
GREAT video, WOW!!!!

Now to test if you even need to tap in to join the 1pm drop
Great video
How long is the actual line once you arrive for your virtual queue window? Thanks!
Hello @freshhairvideos . It always varies but usually, we tend to wait between 15 to 25 minutes
So basically you telling me that i have to choose between Tron and Tiana on Virtual Que , i cant get both at the same day , but for example can i do a virtual q at 7pn and another on at 1pm if i want to join tiana at 1pm n tron at 7pm can i do that ?

What kind of camera did you use to film the ride?
Hello Danny! Rob uses an iPhone 15 Pro Max while I use an iPhone 14 Pro. Thank you so much for watching.
@@TheMainStreetBear Thank you! So not like those other bloggers that use GoPro cameras..
Oh question! You said you can only get one virtual boarding group per day?

Hello! Yes, you can definitely try to do this. Your boarding group for Tiana’s needs to be called before 1 pm so you can tap-in and then you can try to join the VQ for Tron right at 1 pm.
I can see virtual que for the first 6 months not 2 years
Bro starts the video with a dry collar but halfway through his shirt is soaked 😂😂 Gotta love that Florida humidity
And don’t forget the heat! 😅
Not going to be in virtual que? Hmmm I smell Single Pass payments haha
I can’t believe Tiana’s isn’t a paid ride to be honest like Rise or tron
I was surprised, too. Also happy. 😅
Thank you for the informative video, but I’ll say this for the thousandth time: the fact that anyone has to RUclips how to ride an attraction at Disney is a HUGE problem. It shouldn’t be this complicated. I can’t imagine how difficult this is for older people who aren’t tech savvy. Disney has really gone downhill over the past several years.
When you be able to go though a stand by line and tron
Unfortunately we have to wait until Disney tells us. 😢
I think tiana’s will be a standby line before tron
how are you always in Disney, are you a millionaire???? hahah :)
Who really cares? This ride is an insult to America and it is lame. Shut it down
This guy looks exactly like the demographic Disney caters to now 😂 adult children.
Does this guy sleep at disneyworld?
Yes, apparently he has a small room in the haunted mansion backstage/it’s not visible from the ride.
Heigh-Ho!!!!!
