Thank you for taking the time to answer, Rob! It's good to hear the parks are not crazy yet. 3 days and counting, lol. I truly enjoy your posts. Keep up the good work and have a magical day!

hahah! Chances are I won't be able to! Heheheh! I can't stop thinking about it - the details and thoughtfulness of the parks are just incredible.

I think genie+ is the way to go for this - when we did 4 parks in 1 day it was the only reason we got the rides we wanted we did it when park hopping was at 2 pm but our plan was start at animal kingdom with no genie and stack genie for other parks plus lightening lane Rise and 7dwarves

If it’s within your budget, I’m all for buying an ILL and not stressing about what’s going to happen on that morning! (The fact that Tiana’s may not have ILL has me quite anxious!) Hopefully RnRC will be open again when you are there and can knock them both out with EE (At least that’s my plan!)

I think the beauty of Standby Skipper is it will automatically get you something at your 2 hour time - then you can modify if it isn't exactly what you want and still have it credit that you got the LL at the time SS got it.

I don't have any experience with Standby Skipper, so I would lean towards booking #1 and #2 yourself and then letting Standby handle whatever #3 is --and whatever you are able to get for #1 and #2 can inform what kind of search you set up for Standby Skipper? Good luck, hope you have a great time!

We were in this exact position last week. You won't know if Rise is on a delayed start until you get there and they'll announce it. Aim to go for it on early entry (you'll still be able to get an ILL after Park opening) and you'll still be able to do Tower of Terror with no wait. Last week we were at Early Entry an hour before it started (were 5th from the front), they let everyone in early and we rope dropped Slinky Dog and were off it by 8.20am and then did ToT 3 times with no wait. It was awesome!

Hi Jane! You definitely can't count on Rise being open at Early Entry. I would say odds are 50/50 at best (at least in my experience). I'd say either knock out Sunset (Tower and Rock'n if it is open when you are here) and then MMRR during early entry and get the IALL for Rise if it is in your budget.

I'd imagine you'll end up with more than 2 favourites in each park, it can be hard to stick to that when it's your last day! On our last day we did 3 parks, but could have easily fit in a 4th. We did Hollywood Early Entry: Rope dropped Tower of Terror (Rise was down) Genie+ following: Slinky Dog ToT (again!) Indiana Jones Show (booked Test Track and played the slots) Took the Skyliner from Hollywood to Epcot: Used Genie+ on Test Track and Soarin. Virtual Queue on Guardians (got this at 7am). Took the monorail to Magic Kingdom: Got an ILL for Tron, Used Genie+ for Space Mountain then did Monsters Laugh Floor about 3 times because we love it.

I’ve always been lucky with reservation finding apps to get what we wanted eventually. This is my first time staying onsite though so never had the luxury of booking all at once. All of our tough reservations will be later in the trip so it’ll be greater than 62 days at least for each. Right now 60 days out is early May which is the best week of the year for crowds in my experience so everything is easier to get. Once it gets closer to Memorial Day you’ll see availability be harder.

I agree with these posts - enjoy Early Entry and give yourself plenty of time to get to Garden Grill for your reservation.

Yes that's true Brad. I didn't know you were going that late in the month and it will be busier overall. Good luck!
