An Ear Scouts video always makes my day, but one that’s almost an hour long?! That makes my week! 😊
Aww - thanks! I always get nervous when they get really long because I wonder if people want to sit through such a long video. 😅 Glad to hear that can also be a good thing! 😃
Agreed! They are always informative and like hanging out with a friend. I often replay the long ones when I'm making dinner.
That made me so happy. Thanks for sharing. ☺️
My name is Craig Dennis i watch your new videos all the time and i in joy all of your videos all the time and i wish you a nice safe happy holiday season👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Hi Craig! Happy holidays to you and your family as well. Thanks for checking this one out! 🎄😃
Hey Rob! My husband and I just came back from our honeymoon at Disney, and we were able to do everything we wanted, and more, because of your videos!!! My husband now loves to "play the Genie slots" lol 😅
Congratulations!! 🍾 I really do love the thrill of landing a seemingly impossible Lightning Lane. Glad to hear he enjoyed it, too! Thanks for making our videos part of your trip. 😃
Hi Rob! I have never prepared even this thoroughly for my exams, but I watched all your recent videos where you explain Genie+ so well. We followed exactly what you said and were able to check off every single attraction for all 4 parks. We even followed your little tips on shortcut routes at Mk, best seating for the safari and how the last row is the best seating for Everest. You are too good!!Thank you for all that you do. When we started out Day 1, my husband said “what worked for Rob may not work for us”. At the end of our trip he said “please thank him for THE best tips and tricks, I am so impressed”. Happy Holidays and please post more Disney videos, major Disney blues happening right now 😅
Hi Rob & Eric
It was really great to meet you both in Celebration the other Saturday.
Watching your videos about Genie+ has helped us immensely to get the most out of our holiday and having a photo with you both was the icing on the cake.
Hello! It was lovely meeting you as well. Thanks for coming over to say hello! 😃
Thank you Rob. I havent been to this event but after viewing your video it is on list next year
HII!! I love your videos❤ u give the best advices and I really like how you teach it and your enthusiasm
Thanks so much - so glad to hear you’ve found them helpful. Happy holidays! 🎉
Once again, you are the best!
This was a great guide! Thanks! I enjoyed this guide

Thanks for the great tour Rob. Merry Christmas to you, and Eric.
Thanks so much, Jim! Merry Christmas to you and your family, as well! 🎄😃
Looks like you had a blast, and ate lots of yummy food. Hope you have time to make your holiday cookies. 😋
Love your videos going in 16 days and going to follow all your tips hopefully 🤞🏻 we can get everything we want done. Keep up marking my day with this awesome long videos 😊
Great review. The storytellers were amazing especially Barn Santa in Norway.
Thank you for all of your great videos! We love watching 😊
Thank YOU for watching! We really appreciate it. 😃
Wow, you’re so good at presenting things! Great analysis without general stuff, straight and to the point. Bits of everything, I feel like I got everything I need to know! Great job!
Thank you for posting. Very informative and thorough review of the festivities! Hope to one day try those cookies myself! (With a grain of salt of course 😊)
Thank you for your honest opinion!❤
Great video guys! Thanks for those awesome tips!!
Thank YOU for watching! 😃
Hey thanks for the great content. Your videos are so helpful in planning a trip my wife and I were able to do all the rides in all four parks at Disney world in two days thanks to your genie plus videos. Any chance you plan on making more videos like the one you did for Hollywood studios with early entry, genie plus, and lightning lanes? My wife and I this year splurged for a Disney resort to gain early access and would love to see a similar video to help us plan accordingly. Thank you again for all the great content.
Hi Josh! We are planning to do Magic Kingdom and Epcot, but the challenge with those is that they can also include extended evening hours. We tried doing the Epcot one and were so exhausted by the late afternoon that we decided to rethink our strategy. 😅 Thanks for the suggestion! 👍
I always enjoy your videos even though I won't be there for the holidays. You do a great job without getting verbose and your food descriptions are way above how most other youtubers describe the food. Love it!
Thanks so much - I’m glad you enjoyed this one. We had so much fun making it. Hopefully you’ll be able to visit during the holidays in the future. 😃
Love the video's keep it up. Would love to see a series on what there is to do besides rides at each of the parks!
We’ve had that request before - it’s definitely in our to-do list. Thanks for watching! 😃
Thank you for the reply. One day I hope to see you at the park. You're my fav Disney guy!!
I like the added touch of storytelling throughout the video. Disney storytelling is top tier. Keep up the good content 👍🏻.
I love the storytellers so much. Along with the Candlelight Processional, they are my favorite part of the festival. Thanks for watching! 😃
Another great video!! I enjoyed meeting you and Eric and voting for the Yukon salmon as a fest best! I'm also excited I can see myself in the audience watching the Chinese Lion Dancer. Thank you for the Ear Scouts button!
Hello! Hopefully our paths will cross again in the parks soon. 😃
Awesome! Your passion really shines through in your videos. Your dedication and eye for details are on point and on top of that, you're a fantastic communicator!
Thanks so much - and thanks for watching! 😊
But the blackened catfish was so good! I've noticed the food seasoning/portion sizes at the booths sometimes differs on the day. For example, I went back at the end of the festival to get the blackened catfish and it was half the portion size and overly seasoned as you mentioned.
What I am hearing is you love the “boozy” offerings lol. Great video!!! See you soon!!!
Thank you for sharing! This would be a great planning tool, but it’s also great for those of us who won’t get to experience it. Now I’m dreaming of 2024 hmm 🤔 🤩
Hi Heather! We hope you get to experience it next year - it’s such a magical festival. Thanks for watching! 😃
I agree with you. It’s my favorite Epcot festival as well. Sad we can’t be there this year but maybe 2024.
Hi Elaine! Hopefully we will see you in 2024 - hope you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching! 😃🎄
I am really considering a Christmas treat after another great video from you Rob - thinking 2025 now as we are doing Sept 2024...choices choices :)
The band you had in Canada was different than the one I had-interesting! I’m in withdrawal came back Saturday-
The Canadian Holiday Voyagers are off on Monday and Tuesday. Were you in Epcot one of those days? I remember feeling the Disney withdrawal before we moved here. I used ti watch so many CZcams videos of the parks. 😅
Dear Rob - this was a week today late for me !
We saw you in Epcot on the 3rd between China and Norway, but you were talking to someone on the phone so we didn’t flag you down . Was cool to see you tho !
Btw our palates are very similar - my wife and I were in lockstep with your reviews of the foods we tasted while Eating Around the World
So sorry we got this one out too late for your trip. This one took forever to finish - it was so much to cover. Glad to hear we agree on the food. Hope you had some of the better things (and none of the stuff that ended up on the naughty list 😅). I actually remember being on the phone (which is really rare when I’m in the parks) and noticing someone seemed to want to say hello. I wonder if that was you! Sorry I wasn’t able to say hi, but thanks for checking out the video even though you already experienced the festival! 😃
Great video! My wife and I are just getting into your videos, is there an “about me” video to find out about you guys?
I’ve never thought of making an about us video. Maybe something to think about in the future. Glad to hear you are enjoying the channel! 😃
Rob how many hours do you recommend to get in line for the candlelight procession for a good seat with dining package. Going to be a first time for me. Thanks
Hi Barbara! It really depends on the host, but as long as you get in line shortly after the show before yours begins, you should get a great seat. The first show of the day is trickier, so I would avoid that one if you are going when there is a popular host.
Hi Rob! Needing a Christmas gift for my wife and I was wondering if there is any chance I could pay $ for a few hours of your time in January, maybe lunch and going on a ride with us or something like that?
Hi Evan! I’d be happy to try to meet up with you and your wife. No payment needed. I’ll reply to your message on Facebook.
@@EarScouts that is way too generous. Wow. 🤯
Pierre Noel sounds a bit Scottish to me. :P
Great video as usual Rob! Crazy question: Do you have a cameo in the latest Once Upon a Bron video? czcams.com/video/PYBj5-T8GyI/video.htmlsi=oRAb6sNNhj6UK-x9&t=31
