- Earliest time to modify LL?In Disney Genie Forum·April 19, 2024Hi! I’ll be vacationing with my daughter for a short trip coming up in May, so exciting! We have park hopper tickets, and the first day I’m planning on Animal Kingdom followed by Epcot. I haven’t decided yet whether to do a park hopper genie+ or genie+ just for Epcot. Remy is a must do ride with either Genie+ option, my question is how early can a LL be modified once selected? Ie: If Remy is chosen as our first LL selection at 7am, and I’m given a return time of 9am but need an afternoon time, how early can I try to modify that return time? I may be in the minority where an early LL for Remy wouldn’t work, as we have plans to hop to Epcot in the afternoon! Thanks in advance and keep up the great work with the videos! :)15111
- Park Parties for Rides Only and Late Entry - Worth It?In Disney World Discussion·August 8, 2024I've treated myself to a second visit to Orlando this year for my Birthday! Staying at Universal Orlando, but hope to visit Magic Kingdom and Hollywood Studios, but I only have 5 days in total including departure day. I'm thinking of going to the Mickey Christmas and Jollywood parties, but I'm only interested in rides (and not shows, food or character meet and greets), and probably won't have time to enter the parks early. In fact, my flight arrives at MCO after 6pm on 13 November, and there's a Jollywood party on that night! Is that cutting it too fine? I guess by the time I go through customs, check-in at Universal, then uber it to Hollywood Studios, it will be about 8.30pm!! Is it worth going to these parties for the rides only? If I enter the park an hour or so after the party officially starts, do I still have a good chance of getting on all the big rides? I've done After Hours at both parks before and most rides were pretty much walk-ons apart from Tron and Seven Dwarfs...I guess the parties may be busier though! Thanks for any tips :-)1576
- Creative Rope Dropping.....In Disney World Discussion·February 13, 2025So I know in a few of the Patreon chats I got a little flack for my creative Rope Dropping - so I thought I would start a discussion here - What have you Rope Dropped that most people don't and WHY? For me - I LOVE Its a Small World - but I don't like to wait for it - so at MK - often I rope drop Small World - I used to try and rope drop 7 dwarves but 3/4 times last year it didn't open with early entry or we still waited > 60 min just to ride that ride "early" - I find I can get Small World, Pooh, Mermaid, Buzz and People Mover all done in less than an hour vs just one ride that typically I can get at 45 min later at night.15118
- Disney Holiday PartiesIn Disney World Discussion·October 26, 2023What is the best strategy for the holiday parties? I know the first night(s) would be fun to say you were there, but if you are trying to maximize your dollar does it make sense to wait? Do most parties like the Very Merry Christmas party sell out now? Any general advice for days would be helpful.1593
- Rise vs. TowerIn Disney Genie Forum·May 28, 2024Hey everyone! I'm tryin to decide between one of two rides to go for during early entry on my upcoming trip. On one hand, I'd like to try and rope drop ROTR to get it out of the way. However, I know from watching the videos that it does have a tendency to not be functional for Early Entry. if I remember correctly, there would be no way to know if Rise is working until you go there, right? Should I just bite the bullet and buy an ILL for rise and go for ToT? (I'm going to be using Genie+ for Slinky; that much I've decided on). Any tips? Thank you!1580
- Table Service recs!In Disney World DiscussionOctober 26, 2023I certainly haven't eaten everywhere but I would highly recommend Spice Road Table - it's almost tapas style so if you want a lot or you want to snack it's a good option! I loved the Beirgarten in the Germany pavilion but it's an all you can eat so maybe not what you're looking for. On my last trip i did Be Our Guest for my bday and i wasn't impressed for the cost so def skip that one. I've heard good things about Nomad and will be going on an upcoming trip but haven't been there yet.22
- Need help planning your Disney World trip?In Disney World DiscussionOctober 25, 2023Hi Jen! If you come in from the front, you will have a little bit longer of a wait compared with folks who enter through the International Gateway, but keep in mind that it will be a pretty big hassle to get to that other entrance unless you just decide to spring for a Lyft over to Boardwalk or Beach Club. Otherwise, you'd take the bus to Hollywood Studios and then walk (fastest), boat or Skyliner over to Epcot.2
- MK + Rings and bellsIn Disney Genie Forum·March 13, 2024Can we have a 2024 Magic Kingdom early entry and genie plus video? PLS???? we're planning an early may trip with our 6 y.o. twins and this could be more than helpfull. THANK YOU!2244
- Favorite Rope Drop Park and StrategyIn Disney World DiscussionOctober 28, 2023That sounds awesome! I love rope drop as well. We have taken many trips over the years and there is just something special about early mornings at WDW. Can't say that I'm always super excited to hop out of bed here at home! However, we haven't been in 6 years, so I'm not sure if my now teenagers are going to be as eager to get up that early on this next trip haha! Maybe bribing them with extra snacks will work! This will be our first experience with Genie+ and there are many new attractions since our last visit so I am trying to gather as much strategy info as I can. Thanks for your post!22
- Help us make our new site even better!In Welcome to Ear ScoutsApril 2, 2024How can we donate - I have learned so much from your videos I would love to give back and support EarScouts, I saw a patreon thank you from you at the end of the last video but though I’ve looked I haven’t found where I can join an earscouts patreon? Great stuff!22
- First Timer - Magic Kingdom Fireworks PartyIn Disney World DiscussionMay 11, 2024Hi Siobhan! So far the park hours calendar goes to July 10 and Happily Ever After is scheduled at 9:20 that week. I don't see it changing much unless they do an After Hours on a specific night. Hope that helps!22
- Looking for info and ideas….In Welcome to Ear ScoutsJune 18, 2024You will have a great time!!! I would ask folks what their absolute top three things are, and then try to prioritize them for the first two days while their stamina is at its highest. That way, if they wear out and want or need to spend more time resting, they already knocked out their top things at least. :) It might be a good strategy to have one group in the "morning shift," then come back to the hotel and swap with those in the "evening shift"? That way nobody gets too tired and you could even split groups according to age or preferences? If you have park hoppers, you could hit one park in the morning and one in the evening? The only downside of this might be less together time as one big group. Sometimes folks don't recommend table service meals due to the time they take up and the price, but if those aren't concerns I very much recommend them, it is soooo nice to sit down out of the heat and not have to worry about fighting anyone for quick service seating (not literally fighting, haha, but it is hard, you gotta watch like a hawk and swoop in when one is free!) We did 1-2 table service meals every day during our trip (one day we even did 3!), and when combined with Genie+ we were still able to do everything we wanted. Table service meals are also a great way for your kids to meet all those characters they want to meet, all at once with no lines and in the AC! Recommend Akershus especially for the princesses. We met Mickey at Garden Grill and Topolino and both were great! One last tip, get Magic Spotter flags for your strollers from Etsy, ours made it so easy to instantly spot our stroller no matter where it got moved. Let us know how it all goes!22
