Heigh-Ho, I have been following you since the beginning of your Genie videos which were so helpful, more so than anyone else's

Excited for Ear Scouts and the launch of the website and forums. The site looks FANTASMIC!

So happy to have this site! We haven't been to WDW since early 2020 and now I don't know anything lol! Your videos have been SO helpful in planning our trip for Thanksgiving next month. We are going to our first MVMCP on 11/22 so hoping you have a party video out by then. Great work!

so excited to be here - love your videos and your way of sharing information! Thank you for starting a fun community

Keep up the great work team!!

I'll be honest, I don't know if you can book it in advance but I would start looking for one well before you need to get somewhere. On my trip last month, my sister and I were trying to go from HS to Disney Springs around 4pm and it took about a half hour to get one (vs probably about 2 min for Uber or regular Lyft, but we needed to be dropped off by the bus stop because my sister needed to rent an ECV so we needed a Minnie Van). Plus Minnie Van is much more expensive than those services. If you don't need a car seat for kids, I would suggest a regular Uber/Lyft to the Contemporary, get dropped off in the parking lot, and walk the 5 min to MK (and go through security in the process). This is what I do when I'm traveling with my husband and kids.

My adult daughters and I are doing a girls trip next week (10/30 - 11/4). We haven't been since January 2018 and soooo much has changed. The EarScouts YouTube videos were my favorite in all my research. I've watch many of them multiple times. I'm the family planner but was overwhelmed by all the changes until I found your videos!

Hi! I love your videos and they have been so helpful in planning our first vacation with our 5 year old daughter in April! 😊

Heigh ho! Just joined to prepare for our upcoming trip in February. I will be the solo adult with my 2 adorable granddaughters, one that is 2, so I want to learn all the "toddler" methods of keeping the tantrums to a minimum. The older one will be my "runner" as Sid is quite energetic!! Thanks for any advice. Will be watching all the videos!!

Yes! This! Your videos are a staple for me when planning and helping friends plan!! I was so ready for my first trip with Genie+ and virtual queues because of you! ☺️

I vote for a Rob meet and greet as well! We have been watching Ear Scouts videos every Friday night to prepare for our trip which starts on Good Friday. My 12/15 year old girls have said more than once “I hope we see Rob!” You out rank the Disney characters! 😂 Thank you for your straightforward videos. They are so well done and genuinely helpful! We are hoping to apply your tips and play the slots to deal with what I expect will be really big crowds over Easter weekend.

I love this topic. I’ve got 3 boys now 5, 8, and 11 but we have been going to Disney since my oldest was 4 and been addicted since. Some say don’t take little ones but for us it’s the best time to take them. While yours isn’t free anymore, the 2-4 year old age is the sweet spot for us as far as our favorite memories. We have done some trips where we all take nap breaks after lunch at the hotel. Sometimes we drink around the world while they nap in the stroller. Sometimes we go all day and night and let them fall asleep whenever they feel like it. My advice is to have a plan but be flexible. We rarely do resort pools much but typically plan an off day to do just that if the weather is nice. No matter what you decide you’ll be fine. Every family is different so do what you feel is best for your kids. My advice: Rent a jogging stroller (Orlando Strollers is the cheapest I’ve found). Bring a cooler with drinks and snacks for the kids and adults. Bring glowsticks for the kids. Let them eat ice cream or a cinnamon roll for dinner one night if they want. My kids get tired of the same kids menus everywhere so that’s what we let them do at Magic Kingdom. On your off day book a meal at a monorail resort (Ohana, Chef Mickeys, Steakhouse 71). Take a ride around the monorail before or after dinner. In Epcot, sign up for the scavenger hunts to entertain them in the world showcase. Take plenty of pictures and videos. You’ll watch them years later and miss those ages.
