Loved this! Please please please do an “ALL The Bells & Whistles” series for the other parks. Going there in June & will be applying all your tips & advices. Thanks!
Yes please, same request here :)
Yes please rob do this!!! I love this!!!😊
Yes please!
Yes please! Same request. Thank you😊
Please! Specially MK!
Even if you never see this…THANK YOU. I spent TENS OF HOURS watching and preparing, creating a nerdy strategy sheet (love to share it with the world) and our family got on everything, almost no waits, at every park. You MADE OUR VACATION.
Folks, don’t just watch, really create a strategy. You’ll figure out there is an order to ride. Sometimes the rides aren’t next to each other and you have to double back but do it right and you can get them all in - even more than once. I even laminated my sheet to prep for rain.
May I have a copy of that haha
Can I have a copy too?
Can you post your copy?
Post copy link?
I’ve needed this video! Please make “bells and whistles” videos for the other parks!
Hi Kim! We definitely will. Time to book some staycations… 🥳 Thanks for watching! 😃
You are by far one of my favorite Disney CZcamsrs. Step by step instructions with the app on screen is the best. Being a visual learner I’ve never been so ready and prepared for my up coming trip. Only have until 3 in HS on our trip (MNSSHP same day). I want to Ride Rise twice, but with all Bells and Whistles. I think I can make it happen.
Your videos are fantastic! Always informative and fun. I look forward to every upload. We go every year but this will be our first time as a family at Hollywood Studios. This has been a huge help. Thank you!
Aww - thanks so much, Lauren. Hope your family has an amazing experience for your first group outing to Hollywoodland. 😃
I’m so happy you posted this! We have a 1:55pm reservation for round up rodeo on our Hollywood studios day and I’ve been second guessing myself if I should keep the sit down reservation because I didn’t wanna miss any rides! This gives me a much better perspective of how my day would go. Thank you sm!💜
Hi Leslie! I would keep it - it’s such a cute, fun restaurant. If you have any vegetarians in your group, the plant based options were surprisingly good. You can definitely fit a table service meal into a Genie Plus day at any of the parks if your are not planning to hop. And if you use all the bells and whistles, you could have your bbq and park hop, too.
Hi Rob!! All I can say is I'm so impressed and proud of you guys! 30k+ followers and raising to the best in the business. Your videos are incredible, I've literally worked out my vacation @ disney by watching your videos and taking your advice. I'm down to 142 days! THANK YOU THANK YOU 😊🎉❤ Cya in September!
You should do a food/snack/restaurant day, where if you had a new person to the park these would be your must dos. (I know that’s hard lol but I’d love to know your favs!)
Tried your hints & ideas for Genie+ today at Hollywood Studios! Thanks for your helpful tips!
I even played Genie Slots & it worked for Millennium Falcon!
Thanks again!
My upcoming Hollywood Studios plan is also going to start with ToT, MMRR, a slinky LL (hopefully) and a purchased ILL for RotR, so this video makes me feel very confident. Thank you!
You guys are the best! That's the first time I saw Eric boogying down. Lol. I'm heading to Hollywood studios today. Right now it's 6:40 I'm on my way
Slinky Dog is an excellent coaster, but what makes it extra special is the AWESOME queue - the color and whimsy and all the details 🥰🌈💫
Loved this, great reminder that you can achieve a great date without the extra costs. So helpful yet again. Looking forward to seeing the rest of the series before we come over in September.
Thanks for your videos! On Saturday at Hollywood we rope dropped TOT and were first in line, then Mickey runaway, toy story mania all before 8:30. Had slinky dog LL for 9:15 so met sully before riding slinky, did smugglers LL, star tours LL, met max, chip and Dale and ILL for rise all before 11am. Met bo peep, woody and Jessie and had rodeo BBQ lunch at noon. Then had a relaxing rest of the day. We had the best day ever!! Thanks to watching your early entry HS!
You videos were very helpful. My family (my wife and our 7-year-old son) went to DisneyWorld from April 1st to April 4th.
We went to all four theme parks.
My parents came with us (70 and 71) and my sister came with her daughter (9) as well.
It was exhausting but we did it.
We used Genie+ in Magic Kingdom and Hollywood Studios and we went to the parks at noon each day.
I used the stacking strategy (starting at 7am) and once in the park I tried to book the earliest LL.
I played the "Genie slots" and always was able to book a very good return time.
Your strategies and ideas were very helpful. We were able to do all main rides and several more as well.
So glad to hear you had a great (if a bit exhausting 😅) vacation! Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to let us know how your trip went - we really appreciate it!
Love your videos and tips. You helped me plan the best spring break Disney Trip for my family. The tip about not using a Disney resort’s Wi-Fi at 7am was the most helpful 🤗
Hi Alaina! Too bad we forgot that one in this video. 😂 So glad to hear you had a great trip. Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to let us know how your trip went - we really appreciate it!
Your videos are so helpful! Thank you! I appreciate all the detailed information.
I really enjoy your videos, you're such a positive ray of sunshine. I used your tips when we went in March as well, got everything we wanted done by 2pm. 💜💜
Yet again, another great video! Thank you for all the time and effort put into providing the information. Definitely helps planning for the next trip Home!
Another fantastic video! Thank you! The real life examples and times are very helpful as always in your videos. I also loved the live footage of the time you got to skyliner etc to help everyone plan the morning. What a great day and lots of flexibility even in the midst of spring break. Keep doing what you're doing it's so very helpful!
Thanks so much, John & Candi! We really appreciate your support for our channel. Hope you have an amazing experience next time you visit the parks. 😃
Couldn’t agree more! It really is amazing how much you can get done when you go early, but I think the same can be said about going late. We went on Saturday and got there around 6 and got so much done.
Awesome! Love the videos. I look forward to them. I caught the Disney bug after our trip 2 weeks back. Used all of your genie+ tips to get our group of 10 on just about all of the rides at the parks during spring break. Thanks again.
We’re so glad to hear that. Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to let us know how your trip went - we really appreciate it! 😃
Thank you so much for your videos! We were at WDW first week of April and used ALL of your tips! We had the BEST time thanks largely to you expert tuition :) Loving your work xxxx
Hi Helen - so glad to hear it! Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to let us know how your trip went - we really appreciate it!
Thank you! Love this! I will be using all the bells and whistles for all parks in June 😊
It definitely lets you pack a TON of stuff into your day. Thanks for watching! 😃
OMG! You’re killing me. 😊. Right when I thought I had my strategy locked down (based on your other videos) you present another option. I was planning to early entry rope drop Rise of Resistance and Genie + Slinky Dog. Now…I’m considering early entry Tower of Terror, individual LL Rise of Resistance, and Genie + Slinky. 🤦♀️
😅 - sorry for adding another option to shake things up at the last minute. You can’t go wrong with any of the three, BUT if you are planning to get the Individual Attraction Lightning Lane for Rise anyway, this is the way to go. It’s possible to get Tower, Railway and Smugglers all done before the park opens if you are toward the front of early entry and hit them back-to-back. And that puts you right next door to Toy Story for your Slinky LL. Good luck with whichever path you choose!
Same! If I can do everything by 2 and head to Epcot, score 🎉
I loved this video! I hope you do this series for all the parks! I also love the practically perfect series!
You are finely back, Thanks for all the videos!!!
Sorry for the wait - this one took forever to edit. 😅 Thanks for watching!
Great to see the all the bells and whistles video. Always fun to see what you can accomplish in these videos.
Thanks so much, Justin! Always nice to hear from you here in the comments. 😃
Our vacation was great because of your videos. Thank you
My name is Craig Dennis how are you doing today i am doing fine today i watch your new videos all the time i in joy all of your videos all the time you have a nice safe day and you have a nice safe evening two 👍👍👍👍👍
Hi Craig. Always nice to hear from you. Thanks for always watching our videos as soon as they come out. We really appreciate it! 😃
Your videos are so great, well organized and easy to follow. You are so fun to watch, always positive!
Aww - thanks so much, Becky. 😊
Your videos are great!! I wish i came upon them when I was planning our first family Disney trip for Spring Break 2022, I found them recently while helping my sister plan her family's trip and now I can't get enough!! I look forward to every upload, fun and easy to understand, super helpful! Thank you!!
rob! i ran into you at tron on sunday and i didn’t get the chance to tell you but your videos made our trip a breeze. we were done with everything we wanted to ride in every park by 12 pm and got to ride everything a second time thanks to genie slots. we love you and appreciate your videos!❤️
Thanks!!! I’m going first week of May. Perfect timing
Rob, we had an amazing time at the parks over spring break thanks to your videos! It had been years and years since I had been and so much had changed since my last visit. Your videos helped me plan so our family had the best time. We had such good luck with early entry at Hollywood Studios on day one that I was able to start stacking LL for Magic Kingdom later in the day. We did both parks on day one and rode all of our tops rides. I can't thank you enough! Keep up the great work!
Hi Robin! I’m so glad to hear you guys had such a great trip. Thanks for making our videos part of your vacation and for taking the time to let us know how everything went. We really appreciate it. 😃
First, thank you so much for all your amazing videos. Not only are they full of amazing tips and content, but the editing and graphics are top notch. Also, Rob, you are so charismatic in the videos. You're happy go lucky without being cheesy and give intricate instructions without being overwhelming. Second, this video just made me so happy. I'm heading to the parks the end of Sept for only 3 days. I was hoping I could try to do exactly this. Start the morning with Hollywood Studios and then park hop to Animal Kingdom. I want to squeeze in all 4 parks in 3 days. And you just made me so hopeful. Thank you SO much!
Aww - thanks so much, Amy! I think you can totally do the parks in 3 days, especially if you use Genie Plus, early entry and/or Individual Attraction Lightning Lanes. Hope you have an amazing vacation! 😃
Your videos were such a great help on my couples trip back in January. You made it so easy for me to work genie+. We hit all the main rides in all the parks it was so much fun.
We are going in January how was the crowds?
Thanks for posting this , Rob and Eric - you guys are awesome
Aww - thanks so much, Marcus. Thank YOU for watching! 😃
We just had the BEST trip thanks to your videos. My 13yo watched them every night 😂
Awesome - please tell him thank you for us. 😂 So glad to hear you guys had a great trip. 🙌
This is so helpful! I’ve learnt so much about genie+ from you, really appreciate it
So glad to hear it, Roxy - thanks for watching! 😃
I've been watching your videos for months and you are by far my favorite Disney influencer. You are so informative and genuine and I just feel like we would be friends 😊😅 Thanks for all of the great tips and insights Rob and Eric!
Hi Margaret! Thanks so much for this lovely note. Hopefully our paths will cross someday in the parks! 😃
I had a perfect genie plus day yesterday at Epcot thanks to you. I'm heading to Hollywood studios today. 5:00 a.m. and I've already purchased my Genie+ for the day.
Thanks for all your tips! I love it when Erick shows up in your videos. 😊
Hi Chrisann - me too. It’s like a game of Where’s Waldo in the videos when he is there with me. 😂 Thanks for watching! 😃
What an awsome video, thank you so much!
Thanks so much, Timea! 😃
Been waiting for the updated genie strategy! Great video, can’t wait for the other parks
Hi Mike! We are planning to remake all of our park-specific Genie Plus strategy video since so much has changed. Thanks for watching! 😃
Thank you so much for posting this!! My family is heading over to Disney World over memorial day weekend and this really helps!! Love your channel
Thanks so much for watching, Fennec. Hope you have an amazing vacation! 😃
I played the slots today and made out HUGE
just went last week. your videos helped me crush it with genie plus. rode everything i wanted at magic kingdom and Hollywood studios on the same day. genie slots for the win.
Thank you so much for this! We missed our Hollywood studios day last year because of the hurricane. Going back in a few months and will try this strategy from Caribbean beach so my hubby can get an afternoon nap.
Hopefully this trip will be 100% hurricane-free! Thanks for watching, Donna! 😃
Rob! Thank you again! We so look forward to seeing your posts, it's a highlight for us for sure as we sit as a family and watch them. We've never ridden Skyliner before, we hope to on our July trip when we spend one night at the Boardwalk in July until we transfer to the Poly for a week. We want to explore using the Skyliner, who knows maybe we will bump into each other!!
Hi Giovanni. I’m so honored to be part of your family viewing! I hope you love the Boardwalk. It’s an amazing resort and the location is unbeatable. Thanks - as always - for all of your support for our channel. 😃
I went 10 years ago with my 2 boys and had no plan and we did have a fabulous time, lovely memories..however thanks to you I'm emerged in my priorities and you are helping making it easier with your epic tips. My little girl (5) is into education and nature It would be amazing if you could do a video about this across the parks. We are coming end of April xxxxx
another fantastic video/lesson. Thanks so much
Thanks so much, Iris!
your videos is amazing OMG
cant wait to you include meeting characters on the dos on the park
This is one of your BEST videos. Can’t wait to put it to the test this summer. Is there a similar one for Magic Kingdom?
Hello rob I am so excited about your videos I've been watching them for over 3 weeks now I'm coming down very soon and I'm gonna do the magic kingdom and I'm gonna do it your way with the Disney genie slots system so that I can try to get and maximize my day by getting everything done and not having to rush but thank you so much for doing these videos I continue to still watch them even though I kind of know the system and how it works but I still watch it because it's so interesting and how you get things done and how you maximize your time thank you so much keep doing those videos😊😊😊😊
Hi Candace - thanks so much for watching! Hope you have the best of luck with those Genie Slots! 🍀🧞♂️🎰
Packing for our trip while watching!!
Yay! I love the day before a Disney trip - and it just gets better from there. 😃 Thanks for watching!
I simply love your channel. Wonderful content.
Thanks so much! Great channel/screen name. 😃
Yet another great video guys - the best info on CZcams ❤
Aww - thanks so much, Simon!
This is the plan I hope to follow when we are in HS on Monday, Memorial Day. Hope it works with the crowds 🤞
Great video! I so enjoyed it!
I am planning my very first dinsey vacation and this is so helpful thank you for the amazing video!
Thanks for watching! 😃
Fabulous video as always!
I will be visiting from the UK early August, (100 days to go) hope to see you in the parks!
Hi Sam! Woo-hoo - it’ll be here before you know it. Hope you have an amazing vacation! 😃
Good Morning, Thanks for the video!🎉. I’m doing Art of Animation, Genie +, Hollywood Studios (Morning/early Afternoon) and Magic Kingdom as an evening park hop.
Wow - this video will fit your plans perfectly! Hope you enjoy it and thanks for watching! 😃
Rob, your vids helped me immensely during my Spring Break trip last week, especially the tips on Early Entry and Hollywood Studios. I did a mix of tips, visiting HS the night before to do Tower of Terror via LL and Slinky Dog Dash through an experience redemption LL when Remy at Epcot broke down on me earlier. Having knocked down two rides already, I could enjoy/rope drop Galaxy's Edge for the morning, then hit Mickey and Minnie's as my 1st LL later on. I did have a 50-minute wait for Rise when I rope dropped it, but didn't have to worry about some of the bigger attractions b/c I had already done it
Hi Jenny - nicely done! 🙌 Thanks for making our videos part of your trip prep - and for taking the time to let us know how everything went. We really appreciate it! 😃
So impressive! I felt your pain in the dark waiting on the Skyliner in the morning, but I guess it was worth it! Can’t believe you did everything at HS in the first half of the day… with Spring Break crowds! Glad you didn’t skip the shows either… Indiana Jones is a must! It’s the only thing left from the MGM Studios movie-making era. Thanks for another great video!
Thanks Meeshwell! Sorry I haven’t gotten back to you about your kind offer to help us out, but I think I finally figured out a way to make it work. 🤞
Thanks for all your help 🙏🙏🙏 we made all the park and Some 2 or 3 times 🤓 thanks 🎉 very good quality Channel
OMG this is exactly what i was wondering if I could/should do for HS on our June trip. And we’re even staying at AoA!! I was definitely wondering what the morning skyliner situation would be! Geez Rob , you’re a mind reader!!! I’m so excited i had to write this BEFORE finishing the video 😂I’m gonna go do that right now😊
Update: thanks so much Rob & Eric, this video answered a lot of questions I had since we’re going at busy times. I was really amazed to see how much you got done by 11am!!! I know we might not be as efficient but it makes me feel much better about having an extra pricey $$$ day Thanks!
Hi Laura! We LOVE Art of Animation. It’s the best value resort at Disney. Hope you found this one helpful for your trip. Thanks for watching! 😃
I’ll be staying just across the lake at Pop Century and we are also staying in June! Have a great trip!! 😊
@@AmberDoubleU thanks!! Enjoy your trip!
Very funny I was in HS the same day very early and left yesterday. I was hoping to run into you. Your videos were super helpful!!! We had a fabulous trip!!!!
This was such a great strategy. I am 100% doing exactly this on May 5th!
Good luck, Becka! You’ll have to let us know how it goes. Thanks for watching! 😃
Thanks for The tips! You would be proud of us! Did all games! All shows! And we ven repeated a a few which we did with early entry and then Genie +!!! Starting with tower of horror was key! Plus individual Lightning Lane for Rise of The resistance! We were also able to lunch in the new Toy Story restaurant!
Good advice. Thanks. The voice of experience. ;)
Love this video so much! We’re going in July and is my family’s first time. Would be so helpful to please do one just like this for magic kingdom. I’d love to see how that would play out. Your videos have made my planning so much less stressful!
Thank you! Please do a video with no genie plus nor early/ late entry
Hi! I love all your videos, very helpful! Do you ever use the standby skipper? Thanks!!
Love your videos Rob! Our first HS day will be Memorial Day and we are staying at Yacht Club at the start of our trip so we plan to walk over and beat the Skyliner guests for EE. Funny enough we have a Roundup Rodeo reservation for lunch that day too so these tips are going to be super helpful for us!
I was waiting for your next video!!!!! ❤❤❤❤
Sorry, Jade. This one took forever to edit. 😂 Hope you enjoyed it! 😃
You’re the best, Disney Vlogger
Thank you for this awesome video, Rob and Eric!…. Do you ever address how to use DAS with Genie + in any of your videos??
My plan was to early entry rope drop ToT, buy an ILL for Rise and try and get a Genie Plus for Slinky when I am there in early June. This video gives me hope that I can have success with that!!
Hi Amber - this day was CRAZY busy, so I would say it is a pretty good analogue for June. Good luck and thanks for watching! 🍀😃
Another great video!
Thanks so much, Audrey! 😃
you are so sweet
disney slots is so cute to not get stressed
Morning y’all!
Have you seen the new steamboat Mickey ears that have no bow!?! I’m so excited!!!!! As always thanks for another great video-will be there in 30 days -hope to see y’all in the parks!
Hello! Yes and I loved them so much I bought them on the spot. They are so beautifully made, too! I wear them all the time. Thanks for watching! 😃
Thank you for these videos, they are awesome. Not sure if this is a stupid question but on the ILL for ROR, are you changing the time booked before you pay for it or after? TYIA
Hi, thanks for the helpful content. Staying in a Disney hotel during the dreaded Thanksgiving week and reliant on buses. Looking to rope drop each day starting with Hollywood studios. Quick question will we be slowed down significantly on day one activating our tickets. Thanks.
Super helpful! Thank you for putting this together!
Slinky Dog Dash today, 1/12/24, is INSANE! Started at 11:15am. Got it, but Tried to back it up and immediately went 8:30pm! It hadn’t gotten any earlier than 8:10pm! Whats your reco in this instance? Just do standby until 11:05?
Great videos, quick question what do you do if you don't have a magic band and you have genie plus. How do you tap in for the rides?
Love this day - your videos are amazing and now I want to see FROZEN
Thanks so much Jessica! Hope you love the Frozen show as much as we do. ❤️
LOVING your videos!!! I have already spent around 40+ hours researching for our trip in September and still have so many questions. I wish I would have known about you guys before!!
I do have a question... is Genie+ needed to get everything done? We are doing early entry and staying the entire day.
Can we get a 2024 update for HS all the bells and whistles? Thanks, you guys!!
You literally have answers to every question
Lol - glad you found the answers you were looking for. Thanks for watching! 😃
@@EarScouts thanks for making these! Planning a bunch of weekends to visit all the parks with my wife because she loves them and I’ve never been. Your videos are so entertaining and positive that I’ll watch them just to smile well after I’m done planning. Thank you!
Do you have to be staying at one of the century resorts to use the skyliner? I'm staying at all star sports but am trying to figure out if it gets us to the gate sooner to uber to the century resorts skyliner hop on spot or just take the bus to the park.
UP and Moving for Early Entry.....is early entry better than extended evening hours?
I watch all you videos. One thing I need to know if am leaving off property where is the parking area for all parks.
We just were there Friday and a managing cast member at Star Tours told us that there is 256 show possibilities!
Thank you for another great video!! I plan to hop from Animal Kingdom to Hollywood Studios and have this question. At 7:00 am, can I book an Ill for Rise of the Resistance as long as I book it for after 2:00 pm? And after I book my Genie + lightning lane for Animal Kingdom, can I also book an ILL for Flight of Passage? I did watch your park hopping video and will take advantage of alternating my Genie + lightning lanes between the parks. I'm just confused on the ILL's. Thanks Rob!!
Another great video! Just wondering, what time would you recommend to start waiting for fantasmic? Does that line get long? Thanks!
Hi Mathew! I always recommend going to the second show (if they offer 2). You can walk in just as the show is starting and get a great seat. It also often starts after park close, so you can ride your last ride and then stroll over to Fantasmic. If there is only one show, that likely means they are expecting lower crowds, so you should be fine getting there 30 minutes early (and maybe even 10-15 if the park is really dead). Fantasmic seats thousands of people. It’s a huge space. Thanks for watching! 😃
Would it be a good idea to purchase the individual attraction lightening lane for Rise of the Resistance?
New to Genie +. So if you buy it for the day and park hopper you get it for both parks for the one fee??
This definitely brings me ease of mind that we should be able to do most (if not all) the things we want to do on our HS day. Thank you! We have a Sci-Fi reservation at 1:30 PM, Savi's at 6:00 PM and Droid Depot at 7:00 PM. With all these strategies, the hope is we should knock out all the heavy hitters in the morning and mid afternoon after Sci Fi. How would you recommend getting to HS on time for Early Entry from Wilderness Lodge? Should we just rent a Minnie Van or try to get on the very first bus? I'm just worried the bus will get there and the line for early Entry will already be massive.
Hi Brandon! As long as you are on the first bus, you should be good. I’d recommend getting to the bus stop about an hour and fifteen minutes before early entry starts. You’ll usually see your first bus about an hour before, but sometimes even earlier. The earliest I’ve seen was 2 hours before early entry, but that is really rare. Thanks for watching! 😃
Fantasmic is the absolute best night time show.
It’s really fun. The fire effects are amazing. 🤯
