Thank you SO much for all of your amazing videos. We're going on a trip later this month and will be able to utilize early entry AND genie+. I haven't really seen a video exploring both at the same time... Would you say go ahead and get a LL for our second/third priority, and try to early entry our #1 and #2 (like seven dwarves and Peter Pan) ? I'm assuming the LL's don't start with early entry...
Also, have you ever explored the midday hotel break? I'm considering rope dropping and trying to do 3 major rides and some other small rides, then go back around lunch for a rest with the kids, while stacking a couple of LL's for later. Does that sound feesible? That would be great for a future video.
Thanks for everything!
Hi Jordan! I agree with Scooter and Craig and also wanted to mention that you might want to check out our "All the Bells & Whistles" videos. We have done Animal Kingdom and Hollywood Studios so far and we used early entry, Genie Plus and Individual Attraction Lightning Lanes. While we did not show it in those videos, I very much agree with a midday resort hotel break. It makes a huge difference in your ability to enjoy the evening at your second park. Hope you have an amazing vacation!
Personally, I'm a HUGE proponent of taking a mid day break at the resort. Especially if 'Cranky When Tired' runs in the family lol. And I'm also a big fan of stacking LLs. Hope you have an amazing trip!
We have used rope drop, with Genie Plus and also Individual Lightenting lane. Our approach has changed in that we used to go with the crowd in MK and HS...... now we take the road less travelled and that has made all the difference. MK. We earlt entry rope drop Space Mountain......and then go right to Peter Pan. If there is enough time to do Peter Pan BEFORE regular park rope drop for Frontierland and Adventureland we do that (most times there is time. 2nd rope drop we do Thunder Mountain (we are not Jungle Cruise people) and then go to Pirates right away. Our first Genie plus is for Hanunted House.....We also do ILL for Mine ride. We go hard until about 9:30 and then take our first breather. This allows us to ride the rope drop rides twice and by 10:00 am, the pressure is off in terms of hard to get rides. HS rope drop is down Sunset Blvd for Rocking Roller Coaster and TT. We have done both of those and gotten over to Mickey and Minnie's railroad before the park opens. Our first Genie plus is Slinkey Dog. ILL for Rise. Again we have been successful at getting Genie plus for RR, TT, Mickey and Minnies getting to ride those twice.
Going back t hotel is an option depending on where you are. Otherwise we take an extended break for lunch and just chill out for a good 90 minutes.
