Our 27 Best Tips for Using Disney Genie Plus:
• NEW FOR 2023! Disney G...
Quick trip report for anyone questioning whether Rob’s method works…I did 27 rides/shows between yesterday and today. This includes getting to AK late (because I flew into Orlando yesterday morning) plus taking about 3 or so hours back in my hotel mid-day to rest. If I wanted to keep pushing I could have done even more. Thank you so much for all the time and effort you put into your videos Rob. It is so appreciated and you deserve the world!
Party of how many? Going with a fam of 5 hope it works too
Going next month, hope I can ride that many rides!!☺️
@@majoras16 it was just me, so party of 1. However, definitely do the “genie slots” method and though it may be touch harder with 5 I’m sure you’ll stick get on most things you want!
@@ricowshngtn4 I hope you can too! It was really fun!
As I said before in another video, there's nobody out there that explains everything as good as you do, you go to the point, everything you explain is super easy to understand and follow and also add your incredible personality to the equation, making your videos entertaining and addictive, please keep being yourself and makind your amazing videos, we love them and we love you! 😃
you know its a good day the ear scouts uploads thank you rob for being a great part my days
Thanks so much for making our videos part of your day - and for leaving this awesome comment. It brought a smile to my face. 😊
Hi Rob! I just wanted to say THANK YOU for your tips! I commented on a video a while back and followed your advice! We went to Disney this past Thursday and it was amazing!! There's no way we can go to Disney without Genie+ now! We got to ride everything in Hollywood Studios by 2pm and then park hopped over to Epcot and rode a decent amount as well! Then we ended the night at Magic Kingdom ❤ My dad and I had a perfect birthday! 🎂
So glad to hear that! Happy belated birthday. 🥳 Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to let us know how your trip went - we really appreciate it! 😃
Rob!! I just found ear scouts a month ago and OMG.. You are now my new Disney Guru!! You have filled in so many missing links for me.. I'm a visual learner... So the visuals of Genie plus screen tips are exactly what I've needed.... Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!!
Hi Terri - welcome! So glad you’ve been finding our videos helpful. Thanks for making us a part of your Disney preparations. We really appreciate it! 😃
Rob, I took my 8-year-old daughter to WDW the first week of October for her first trip ever! I'd been watching your videos for weeks in preparation for our trip. THANK YOU! Your tips and tricks for playing the Genie slots helped us ride so many of the rides we wanted! We opened/closed the parks for 4 days and still just ran out of time (planning to go back next fall to pick up some of the things we missed), but you definitely helped us get the most out of our trip! Keep up the videos! Appreciate you!
I found your channel 2 days before our trip to Disney back in June. I watched a bunch of your videos in those 2 days and you are so friendly and fun! So many helpful tips, thank you!!!!
Your advice is the best! We follow all of your tips for all of the parks, and always have success! Just tonight, we got in line for the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train at 9:52, the wait time was posted at 60 minutes. It took us 20 to get through the line and we walked out in an uncrowded park at 10:40.
Hi, Rob! Thank you for your tips! I took notes on everything. A question I'm wondering about is this: If you stay on property and get early entry is it best to head over to Rise of the Resistance first? And, if so, when should that first Genie + Lightening Lane be scheduled for?
We did our Disney trip in June (and used so may EarScout tips) but I still love watching your videos. Especially with planning out future trips. Everything is so tangible and I knew just what to expect and execute at the park thanks to your guides.
I really appreciate that your account shows how to plan out and maximize and does *not* use single rider options so you can really see how to space out rides and work Genie+. So many accounts are fun and have ride # challenges but most people go in groups so it’s not realistic.
Thanks so much for this lovely comment and for continuing to watch our videos. We’re so glad to hear you’ve found them helpful. 😃
Hi Rob! We just got back from a perfect trip and it is all thanks to YOU! I had been super nervous about Genie + and started watching your videos for guidance. I am so thankful I found you because you made using Genie+ easy and fun. I kept hearing your voice saying "Let's play Disney Genie Slots" and it calmed me. You are the best! Thank you!!
As someone who's overly paranoid about knowing exactly how to do something this was just what I was looking for to really explain how genie works and how booking goes. Thank you! Looking forward to going through other videos :)
Hi Bryce - thanks for checking out our videos. Hope you have an amazing vacation! 😀
Another 10/10 upload!
I'm heading to Disney in September and I've been binging all of your stuff.
Thank you for all of your great content!!!
Thank YOU for watching! Hope you have an amazing vacation this September. It’s a great time to visit. 😃
Hi Rob! I have always been a Disney strategist, but I haven’t gone to Disney in the past 4 years and your videos are just amazing! Such a great personality to make something that seems so overwhelming be so easy to follow step by step almost. I can’t wait to go there again and do it all! 😊
What a perfect day!! Such a fun video to watch as always. Thanks for all the great tips and screenshots! Love how you circle things on the screen and use those big arrows to make it clear how to use the app!
Hi Rob! Thanks a lot for all of your tips. I followed them and this week and I was able to do almost every ride before 5 pm! Except of slinky dog but I was more focused on Star Wars 🥳☺️ Excellent videos! Thanks a lot ♥️
Rob, I'm so glad you did an updated version of the genie + at Hollywood studios. We are going to try to go one day to disney in September and we picked Hollywood studios, it's very helpful t hear your tips and see how it would work. Thanks again!
Hi Diana - I’m glad you found this one helpful. Hope you have a great time when you’re here. Thanks - as always - for watching! 😃
Rob you are 100% the best at explaining and educating park goers on how to effectively use Genie +. We used it for a family of five at the end of June beginning of July and never waited in a line longer than 25 minutes! You rock and can you do an updated one for Epcot? Thanks again and cheers!
How did you find booking lightning lanes for 5 people? We're going with a party of 5 and on some of Rob's videos he says it can be difficult if you have more than 4.
@@jonny5alive7 It was too bad...we played the Genie Slots a lot and eventually were able to move up times and take advantage. Just follow Rob's advice and it will eventually work out. We didn't stand in a line longer than 30 minutes at that was for all 5 of us AND during the end of June beginning of July. i have vlogs from each day of our trip up on my channel if you want to see how/what we did! Cheers!
Thanks so much! I used your tips during 4th of July week and never waited longer than 15 min. On the last day I challenged myself and was able to do 22 rides across the 4 parks and thats with 3 kids under 10 in tow. It was so great that Im afraid to go back. Thanks again.
Wow - 22 rides in 4 parks?!! That’s incredible. How many steps did you log that day? It must have been off the charts. 😅 Thanks for continuing to watch our videos after your trip. We really appreciate it. 😃
@@EarScouts I recall it being about 11.5 miles. Thanks again for everything you do🙏🏽
Love your videos! So glad I subscribed. Thank you!
I swear I will master this for our vacation!
Your videos are always the best! Super practical while being really positive and upbeat! One suggestion would be to add a summary at the end with all the LLs you booked and the times
Thanks so much for watching and for the suggestion! We’ve thought about creating some downloadable lists of things that are featured in our videos.
I just love your channel! I find myself smiling throughout the whole thing because you just give off warm vibes! We would for sure be good friends if we knew each other!❤❤❤ Thank you for making our Disney visit in August way less stressful!!!
Thanks so much for sharing this lovely comment! Hopefully our paths will cross one day in the parks. 😃
Hello Rob!! I just came back from my first ever trip to disney world! And you helped soooooo much in explaining genie plus 😊 it was definitely needed with 2 toddlers. I can’t wait for my next trip! I will be reminiscing the next couple of weeks watching your videos ❤❤❤ p.s not sure if it was you , but I think I saw you filming at animal kingdom on Aug 6??? I wanted to say hello and thank you 🧞♂️✨
Rob! Congratulations! You are such a fantastic Disney blogger. We are going to Orlando very soon and your videos have been an excellent guide. Lots of love from Mexico!
Rob, you saved us so much time and stress over the last few days with your cool and informative vids. Thank you!!!
So glad to hear it! Hope you’ve been having an amazing time at the parks. 😃
Your our new favorite! I’m sure our upcoming trip will be so much better all because of you!❤
Thanks so much, Nancy! Hope you have an amazing vacation. 😃
Yay for another updated video! Great info guys 🙌🏼
Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to leave this lovely comment! 😃
Thank you so much for making our Disney trip so much better and more efficient! Love your videos and can't wait to get back to Disney one day soon!
This video was all I needed for a perfect day at Hollywood Studios. Front row left at Indy with Genie+, this is the way!
Hollywood Studios is our first stop in September! Watching your helpful videos gets me so excited. Thanks for another great one!!
Your genie plus videos are the best! I love that you do them “live” so that we can actually see what the flow of the day is like. No one else compares! 🎉 I am currently re watching all the 2023 ones now as I prepare for my trip in late March. Any chance you’ll be doing this again in 2024?
Hi Rob! Thank you so much for a great video! This came at such a perfect time! We leave in a week and plan to use genie+ for Hollywood studios.
Hi Madelyn! Glad we timed this one perfectly for your trip. Hope you have an amazing time at the parks. 😃
You have the best genie plus tips and tricks! Thanks so much!
Thank YOU for watching! 😃
Thank you so much for your videos with amazing tips and tricks to navigate the Disney theme parks. We have not been in years, but are here for our 30th wedding anniversary this week. Your advice has helped us so much on our first day at Disney Studios. We managed to get early entry, get right on Rise of the Resistance, then Lightning Lane Millennium Falcon, pre-book a light saber experience and we actually kind of know how to play the slots!!!! Your help to use Genie + has been immeasurable. Again, keep up the good work, we appreciate you so much ❤🎉😊
Hi Rob, As always your videos are on point... Thanks for your energy and for make my day a little better. Hugs ❤
Aww - thanks so much and thanks for the hug. I’m currently melting in Epcot and needed a hug. 😅 Have a great weekend! 😃
Thanks for ahowing the character feature! I didn't know about this option. Learn something new about the Genie every time I watch your videos!
Informative and comprehensive !
You all do the best and most thorough videos keeping us up to date!! Love your shirt !!
Thanks so much! I love it too. When I bought it, it actually smelled like strawberries, which was awesome. 😂
Great video. My sons and I kept saying, “Where is that?” You introduced us to so many things we missed at Hollywood Studios; Jack Jack Num Nums, Edna Modes experience, meeting Olaf. So many fun things making us want to go back.
Hi Chrisann! It’s always a great time to start planning your next trip. 😅 Thanks for watching! 😃
Rob, I absolutely LOVE your videos ☺️ your always so friendly and warm, such an easy watch and the fact that you film in the park feels like we are right there with you enjoying everything together! Would you ever swap the ears for a wand and do any Universal videos? 😃 I am visiting Disney next May with my family from Scotland and have learned so much from your videos, keep doing what you do 🥰
We’ve been studying up on Universal and visiting their parks a lot more. Once we feel like we’re ready, we’ll definitely start doing a Universal video here and there. Thanks for the suggestion! 👍
@@EarScouts Thats so exciting, can’t wait to watch them already ☺️ I was saying to my husband last night that I hope we run into you next year, that would make my trip ❤️
Thanks for these new Genie video series, your videos are very useful for an upcoming trip planning. :)
Thanks so much, Timea! We appreciate all of your support for our channel. Hope you have a great vacation! 😃
Hi! I really appreciate that in your videos you show us the genie plus app videos. It's lifesaver ❤
Always makes my day to see a new Ear Scouts video! My kids and I have studied every one to get ready for our trip in a couple weeks. I can’t wait to get my new Ear Scouts shirt to wear at the parks! 😊
Hey Rob, your videos are awesome! We will visit Disney in August and can't wait to use your tips and tricks. We are staying in a deluxe resort and take advantage of early entry and extended evening hours. Thanks for the tips!!!
Nice! It’s great to have all those perks when you’re here at WDW. Hope you have an amazing vacation! 😃
Thanks! You made my visit a HUGE success. I followed your Genie+ hack which worked perfectly. We were resort guests so we took advantage of early entry. We went to Rockin, Tower and Micky's RR all without LL so our first one was MFSR at 930. We played the slots and it worked like you said. One tip I have and it's a crap shoot, but we were a late arrival for Slinky but I noticed it was down so we headed over there for TSM and by the grace of God it reopened as we got there. We were a walk on and booked TSM and got right on it after Slinky. Thank you!
Awesome - thanks so much for the generous Super Thanks and for taking the time to let us know how your trip went. So glad to hear you had a great time at Hollywood Studios. 😃
Your filming and editing skills are awesome. Thank you for your time and content.
Rob - thank you so much for your videos! My friends and I just finished our three days at Disney and we were so efficient thanks to all of your tips and tricks. This was our first time going and will be a “once in a decade” trip and we managed to get everything we wanted (except Slinky Dog, just couldn’t make that one work). One of our days included park hopping across AK, Epcot, then MK where we did 16 rides!!
Your tips are amazing, thank you for doing what you do. And the frozen show is amazing, we loved it.
Thanks for all you videos they were an amazing help when we visited this summer and we managed to fit in everything we wanted to. 🎉 😊
Woohoo! Just what I needed! Heading to Disney next week and this is the park we are most worried about getting everything done!!!! Thank you!!!!!
Hi Lisa! Hope you have an amazing vacation and lots of luck with those Genie Slots - especially at Hollywood Studios. 🍀🧞♂️🎰 Thanks for watching! 😃
Hi Rob, thanks for replying… one quick question.. we are going to rope drop as well as using Genie+ as we want to ride Rise first thing… are the genie plus slots 1 hour slots so we would have time to ride Rise and then get to our first LL?????
@@LisaQuinlan01 yes - and you have a 20 minute grace period (and usually even more of a grace period than that - it is up to the Cast Members after 20 minutes, but if you say you got stuck in the Rise line, they’ll almost certainly let you on even if you’re an hour late.
Brilliant videos!
Slow in depth on screen app help is a massive help.
Tactics for Genie + rides is a godsend. We'll definitely be using all your ideas and tips for our trip in a year.
Many thanks for your help.
Subscribed, don't want to miss out on any of your help.😃
Hi Rob, just a quick note to thank you for these videos - it made a huge difference to our last WDW trip in 2022, and I’m refreshing my knowledge again now for our 2024 trip. I really value all your tips and tricks and I’m so grateful to be able to learn from your experiences. Many thanks from the UK 🇬🇧
Thanks Rob, brilliant video yet again! We are finally here in orlando for 3 weeks after booking at the end of 2019, 3 cancelled attempts later and we made it! Thanks to earscouts we rode every single ride in magic kingdom yesterday with genie+ using your tips, the “modify” tap in tap out tip was especially useful! we really cant thank you enough! Keep up the amazing work👍
Awesome! So glad you are finally getting to enjoy your Disney vacation - and also glad to hear it’s off to a great start. Maybe we’ll cross paths in the park. Thanks for watching and leaving this awesome note! 😃
Hey Rob, i love your videos keep up the great work.
Brilliant Rob, we are at Holywood Studios in exactly a week from the UK and will utilise thus strategy, many thanks!
Awesome! Hope you have lots of luck with those Genie Slots! 🍀🧞♂️🎰 Thanks for watching! 😃
Great video & helpful information!
Thanks so much, Carole! 😃
Hey Rob! Thanks for the tips, last week I was there with my sister and your videos were an amazing guide! A big hug all the way from Costa Rica 🇨🇷!
Awesome - 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! 😃
@@EarScouts Thank you!!
Huge fan of your videos! And your strategy works 100% it helped me and my group a lot!! BTW, I saw you this weekend on Hollywood Studio!! Please keep doing these videos
We met you Rob (Mr Ear Scout) today in EPCOT just near Canada! Thank you so much for all you have done with Genie+ tips and tricks. 18 attractions in MK on day 1.
Hi, Rob! Outstanding video! What is your opinion on using rope drop to ride some of the top attractions in the early hours of the park versus using Genie Plus? I have not used Genie Plus yet, but I speculate that it is better than rope drop. What are your thoughts?
Thanks Rob, for your advice. The breakdown and specifics were very useful and I made pretty good use of the lightning lanes. Thank u😊
So glad to hear it! 😃
Thank you so much! We watched all of your videos and tips. Made the trip extremely easy. We barely waited in lines and it felt like we rode too much rides😂
I love your videos. I am coming in november with a party of 6. I know you did a video with a large group and you talked about splitting the party up to get better times with genie+. Would love to see a video where you do that.
Such a fantastic video! Question for the expert, we are going in early December and on our first day we are park hopping to HS at 2pm. Does TOT and RR sell out of lightning lanes before then? We are going in the morning another day, but those are my faves so I was wanting to do those that first day.
omgosh, I have to see this! Living on a prayer, that I make it soon!
Our trip is getting closer now! This is just what I needed (though we haven't decided whether we'll be using Genie+ yet). Thanks for your awesome tips and the magical moments you capture to get us all excited! 🤩
I highly recommend genie+ for DHS and MK. Individual Lightning lanes are a waste of money imo.
My wife is actually a Disney travel specialist and I deal with Genie + a lot. It gets a lot of hate, but I think that’s really because people done like change and don’t like when something free ends up behind a pay wall. That said, Genie + is a fantastic tool once you really learn how to use it (I teach my wife’s clients all the time). You will end up with WAY more “fast passes” than the old system. If cost is a concern, you can sometimes do without it in Epcot and Animal, if it’s not busy when you are there. Rob had a lot of great videos dealing with Genie + in all the parks and I suggest you watch those and really learn the system as much as you can.
@@Ryan-cd9ueWe did MK yesterday (Thu) and we’re fine without LL. I notice that Mon-Wed seem to be busier days if Genie+ pricing is anything to go by. But we bought Genie+ for HS today (Fri). So far haven’t managed Slinky better than 10am (and I missed it as I wasn’t expecting it! 😅) so we’re on 10:20 so far. Obvs, once we’re in our way we’ll try again.
Thanks so much! What would you recommend to rope drop? Or to ride with early park entry?
I know my kids would love slinky dog 2x? Or ROR?
Rob, you by far are the best there is at doing these park day strategies. Have you ever thought about doing a video at MK where you get the VQ for Tron and then get just the individual LL for 7DMT and then rope drop the other popular morning rides? Thanks!
Awesome video. Thank you.
thank you!! 2 weeks till my trip and Hollywood Studios is the first park on my list!
Great tips!! Just wanted to thank you very much. Your tips were a game changer in our trip to Orlando right after 4th of July. You are a great man. Thank you. My kids love you
Aww - thanks so much, Pablo! Glad to hear you and your kids had a great time. 😃
We managed to ride 15 rides only in Magic Kingdom, at a certain moment we were laughing and saying Oh Rob… he is here with us… and with your other genie plus tips we went on tons of rides in every park! Keep up the good vibes !
Hi Robert, thank you again for another great video!
Thanks so much, Andrea - and thanks for watching! 😃
Thanks for the great video! We are planning on going to Disney at the end of August. Based on your comment about it being not too busy, what can we expect at that time in regards to the crowds? We’re hoping with many schools being back in session it will be less crowded. Thanks again
Hello! My suspicion is that it will be relatively quiet that week. It’s really busy right now, though. The reports that Disney World was no longer crowded may have been a bit premature. 😅 That said, when school goes back into session, we usually see a bit of a lull. Fingers crossed. 🤞Thanks for watching! 😃
Such a great tip, offering perspectives from different sides.
Thanks for another great video! I loved your "Bells and Whistles" video. I hope you do one for Magic Kingdom! Thanks!!
Hi Jacquie! We are definitely planning on it, but that one and Epcot are tough because all the bells and whistles includes extended evening hours at those parks. We tried to film it at Epcot and we were too exhausted to finish. 😂 Going from early entry to EEH without breaks is TOUGH. I think we are going to rethink how we do them and build in a break in the middle of the day for a nap. 😅 Thanks for watching! 😃
@@EarScouts Thanks for your response! I didn't think about the Extended Evening Hours - that would make for a crazy long day!! I love your videos and have learned so much from you. Thanks again!!!
loving the channel. Are you using any kind of phone holder when you film the roller coaster rides?
What a great video! You explain everything with such detail that I feel really confident about using Genie+ for the first time! Thank you so much! Are u doing a new video for 2024? Thanks
I’m going to be there in 2 days and this video was extremely helpful Thank You!!
So glad you found it helpful. Thanks for watching! 😃
When you do the individual attraction lightening lane for Rise of the resistance usually how long is the waiting line for it when purchasing that.
Awesome guide!
Thank you for these videos! We are going March 2024 and will definitely be using your tips!
Do you have to wait to book your next ride until you’ve rode your current one ? Thank you x
Hi Rob love all of the wonderful tips and tricks.. if traveling to Disney and I am out of state and plan on being at the park (Animal Kingdom) later that same day and my 7am I may be sitting at an airport out of state.Would I be able to book Disney world lighting lanes or genie plus? What would your suggestion to do in a situation like that. Thank you
Be there in 5 days. Thanks for the new updated video.
Hope you have a great trip - thanks for watching! 😃
Hi Rob! Thank you so much for providing so many videos to ensure that everyone has the better Disney World Trip possible! Because of this, I was able to go from ride to ride to attraction with DAS and Genie +. Without your incredibly fun videos, I would have never been able to play those Disney genie slots! I looked forward to watching your videos and took tons of notes. I took most of your suggestions and I got on all the rides my family and I wanted to thanks to watching your videos and learning all our tips, tricks, and tutorials! My favorite video was the ultimate guide to Magic Kingdom! I hope you see this! Thank you!
Do you think it's possible to put a real time clock in the corner of your videos. So we can follow along your day that way as well
Your the best at genie explanations!
If you have early access, would you recommend rope dropping rise of the resistance first and then get the first Lightning line for slinky dog about an hour after opening?
Excellent video! By far the best explanation, tips, and tricks of the integration of Genie+ in the park. What is your take on the Tron virtual cue during the Halloween party at MK?
Thank you. Another great video. I found your RUclips channel from Reddit.
Great video, ever thought about doing a rainy day video tips. I know you can’t create the weather but if it rains would be good to video some strategy for that.
Another big thank you Rob. I found the best way for me to learn is just grab my phone, open the Disney app, and poke the screen as you give the instructions instructions. That way maybe the info will stick in my big ol' dumb head, and I'll be ready to go. I'm still shooting for doing every ride in the Magic Kingdom, and Hollywood Studios in 3 hours. LOL
Hi Jim - that’s the way to do it! Hands on practice with the things you can access before your trip (like the tip board) is a great idea. Thanks - as always - for watching!
Hi Rob! I have a question about booking the next ride after tapping in. So after you tapped into slinky dog dash, do you pin the next ride you’re aiming for? And continue to do that throughout the day? Or do you just scroll and see what is available and choose the best time you see for your next ride ? I hope that makes sense.
Hello! It’s always best to pin the 1-2 rides you’re aiming for next (and unpin the ones you’ve already booked). It just makes it easy to grab them quickly when playing the slots. Thanks for watching! 😃
I can’t wait to put all these tips to work on October! You’ve helped me develop an ultimate strategy to tackle Disney world and have a magical time! I have been planning for a few months! Thanks so much for your content!
it's been a full year since i watched your last video on this when i was planning my last trip, too! going back for halloween again this year and it's time to watch some ear scouts :P
Yay - welcome back! Halloween is such a great time to be here. Can’t wait to make our Not-So-Scary video. 🎃
Rob I have to ask - how many different pairs of ears do you have? I’d love to see a pic of your collection!
I think I’m around 52 right now. I ordered some hangers from Amazon to organize them. I’ll have to share how the hangers look on social and get an accurate count. Thanks for watching! 😃
I am going to Disney World this weekend and am admittedly very daunted by Genie+. Your videos have helped me tremendously! We have a party of six. Do you suggest we split our party in the app? Does splitting up our party mess anything up with our park reservations or Genie+, etc.? You said another parkgoer ended up splitting their party and had return times at or near the same time! Is that really up to chance, or something to sort of count on? Anyway, I know we’ll all be alright in the end 😂 Thanks for all you do!
Hello! I only recommend splitting the group after you hit the point in the day where you can’t find decent (or any) return times for the rides you want. You may never reach this point if you focus on those tough to grab rides early and get through them relatively quickly. You may have to play the slots a bit longer as a large group anyway, but after more than 15 minutes with no luck on a ride you really want, that would mean it’s time to split. Just go into the My Day view (the tab next to Tip Board) and hit edit selections there. That will let you set your party and you can choose 4 or less. Ideally you would have two people do this and the other person would select the remainder of the party. Alternatively, you could do it all with one person booking, you’d just have to get the Lightning Lane you want and then change the party again and try to find an overlapping time. It’s a pain, so best avoided by grabbing those tough rides early. This won’t affect park reservations or Genie Plus accessibility at all - it is just how you set who you are booking for at the moment. Good luck! 🍀
Hi Rob - we will be travelling next month with a large group (about 6 kids, 6 adults) - our first trip every to Disneyworld!!! I was wondering how well genie slots works with a large group?
Some of the kids are younger, so I do anticipate we will split into at least 2 groups, so I'm assuming that will go easier, but just out of curiousity, can you fairly earily back up a lightning lane, even when you are trying to do it with a group of 10-12 people?
I watched your other video with a large group on Dec 30th at Magic Kingdom, but wasn't clear on how easy it was to win at Genie slots with a larger group.
Thanks for the videos - definitely makes things more understandable!!
hahaha - I actually found the answer in another of your videos! Thanks!
ruclips.net/video/Q2iNrCOPonY/видео.htmlsi=zOEKxLLPP09MfklD&t=471
Wonderful job. You are very entertaining, and very knowledgeable. Thanks for your help. We return to WDW for first time in 3 years and Genie+ will be new to us. My only comment is that you assume folks only want to do a particular ride once in a day. If that is true, your system works well. However if you want to hit headliner rides multiple times/day then I argue you need to judiciously use those passes, and take advantage of low stand-by lines at park open.
If you plan on rope dropping and riding TOT and RRC and we get a LL for Slinky what is an ideal time? Is an hour after park opening an okay return time?
