Rob & Erick, have you guys ever considered taking on the Parkeology Challenge for one of your videos? The last legitimate completion of the Disney World Parkeology Challenge came back in 2019, so if you guys were able to do it, you'd be my personal heroes! (Feel free to ask for tips with planning, I'd love to pitch in!) Has anyone else here ever tried completing as many rides in the 4 parks in one day as possible? If so, what was your record?

Heigh-Ho fellow ear scouts! Greetings from Singapore, where we've just got back after a short trip to Tokyo. For those whose geography is a little rusty, Tokyo is in Japan and is a 7-hour flight from Singapore. It has two Disney Parks - Disneyland Tokyo and DisneySea Tokyo. The former is quite similar to the Magic Kingdom, whereas the DisneySea park is a cross between Epcot and Hollywood Studios - sort of! The Japanese people are warm, friendly - and obsessed with all things Disney! Pretty much everyone is wearing some sort of Mouse headgear and some are in almost full costume (which is more tolerated there than in any other Disney I've been to). The queues (lines) for rope-drop are on another level. Arriving 2 hours before the park opens won't guarantee you're near the front of the queue, but people are friendly, non-pushy and just - well, queue up politely! We only had one day this time and you can't park hop. But tickets are reasonable (around £50 or around USD60) per park although I'd recommend only trying to do one park in a day. There is easily enough to keep you entertained. There are several on-site hotels some with doors straight into the parks, but they only get you a 15-minute head start into the park - however they are beautiful and if you don't want to navigate Tokyo, it could be worth it for your family. The one biggest difference we found is, gosh, the parks are stunning. I've visited Disney all over the world, but this park feels like it's on another level with detail. The Disney Imagineers have gone all out. You could spend a month in one park and not take in all the details. Absolutely beautiful. The park when we visited (June 21st) was open from 9am to 9pm. We got in at 8.40am and we headed straight to their version of the Tower of Terror. It's a different ride to the USA version in Orlando - it features the explorer Harrison Hightower who may look familiar as he is modelled off retired Imagineer Joe Rohde who was the mastermind behind Pandora – World of Avatar, and Aulani, among many other Disney parks credits. I won't bore you with my whole day, but there are many familiar rides and many you will never have done before like 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, Journey to the Centre of the Earth - and the nicest part for us, was we arrived just a few days after they had opened a whole new land expansion called Fantasy Springs which combines the worlds of three popular Disney movie franchises – “Peter Pan,” “Frozen” and “Tangled.” I took video on the Frozen ride for Rob! The day concludes with a 20 min spectacular similar to what goes on, on the water at Epcot plus 30 mins later, some decent (though not USA level) fireworks. To access rides you can get 'standard' (ie free) fastpasses - like the old US system of one at a time. Or you can pay a premium and get a premium access pass. We only bought one of those when the ride we wanted was at 90 mins and the queue was outside (it was tipping down with rain whilst we were there). In conclusion, if you can ever go to Tokyo, do it. All the international parks have something different to offer - but I think Tokyo Disney does offer a totally new Disney experience - and if like me, you just love the little bits of detail - then you will lose your heart to this park. A few pics attached and I'll try to answer any questions you might have. Bye for now Ear Scouts buddies! Sally

After watching hours of videos on Lightning lane I think I found a strategy. I will be at Pop Century , so I think I will do early entry at my 3 favorite attractions in each park and reserve them later with LL , so I can do them twice!! Toughts ?

Does anyone have any experience using apps like "Standby Skipper" (https://www.standbyskipper.com/) that book your lightning lanes for you? I'm interested to hear if they work, if they're worth it, and whether Disney frowns upon using them. I asked Standby Skipper support that last question, and this is what they said: As with any other third party app associated with Disney, we have limited visibility as to what’s going on, on their end. I can assure you we have received zero communication from Disney regarding any policy violation. And you see we aren’t hard to find! We have had legal review the terms and have been told we aren’t violating the terms, but Disney can always change things and those are often left up to interpretation. Wish I had a more black and white answer. We have NEVER had a customer report they have been blocked or banned.  I would still encourage you to review the terms associated with both them and us and that may help you decide if the service is the right fit for you.

Congratulations to the Cast Members at Victoria and Albert's – this is a really huge honor! We haven't eaten there yet (it's kinda crazy expensive 😜), but we really want to try it someday. Have you eaten there yet? If so, let us know what you thought.

Watching your videos are my new favorite past time... I'm obsessed. So I'm gonna need to know where the Rob character meet and greet is being held 😉 because I'm certain I'm gonna need your autograph after using your videos to plan our May surprise trip for my family. Thank you so much! We have been 3 times in the past, but I'm getting to do a surprise trip for my kids ages 6,12,15 and I feel more prepared than ever to make Genie+ work for us!! First time going in May, we usually go in October/November, so any pointers or things I should know about Disney World for 5/28-6/1?

This video was the best!!! Ear Scouts just keeps improving and informing us with the best tips!!!! I never know that the weekend after Christmas was the busiest!!!!!! Great job Rob and Erick!!!

We are going to have a group of 17 going to Disneyland/California Adventure? We thought we would divide this group up into 3 or 4 smaller groups to pull lightening lanes. What size groups would you suggest? 3 groups of 4 and a group of 5? 2 groups of 6 and a group of 5?
