The best way to do Hollywood studios and Epcot is to stay in the Epcot Resorts. For Hollywood get up early and walk over along the path that goes along Boardwalk Villas. If you get up early enough you will be in front of the line. At 7 am buy a individual lightning lane for for Rise of the resistance for late morning. Once you are let into park at opening go-to Slinky Dog because Genie plus fills up fast for this. When you get off Slinky Dog do You Story mania. When you get off Toy story mania go over to either Tower of terror or Millennium Falcon or Mickey and Minnie's runaway. After your choice of these the park will have opened for guests who are staying off property but most will go to Slinky Dog or Rise of the resistance so the wait time for the other two you didn't choose between Millennium, Tower or Mickey and Minnie shouldn't be that long. After those go to Star tours or whatever because you already did most of the rides and it is only late morning. Now you can go do your individual lightning lane for Rise go have lunch....have a great time!

We went last January and Slinky was the only one we couldn’t (wouldn’t) wait for. That wait time was long ALL day long. Oddly enough, we got to ride Rise twice with 20 minute wait times. The trick is not to rush to that one first. I have found that Rise goes down throughout the afternoon and evening. So my advice if you don’t buy Genie, rope drop Slinky and wait for Rise time to drop.

Evening stacking is a great strategy if you want a slow start to your day. Back in February I didn't wanna rush out to the parks so I just stacked up 5 lightning lanes for Hollywood Studios later in the evening and still had a great day overall.

This is SO confusing, much prefer just buy an Express pass, like at Universal. Why does Disney make it so complicated???

I wish they would just do away with paying to skip the lines. We pay enough money just being there.

Definitely worth it for this park, especially on very HOT days.

Great video!! These tips are so helpful! Please make a video about using Genie Plus in DisneyLand and Disney’s California Adventure!

Hey can you do a video about the Assessibility that disney world offers for families who have kids with autism and other disorders please 🙏 The das my son as autism and i got to use the das its free Lightning lane but you have to book a ride/show one at a time ⏲️

Gosh…..you need a MBA just to understand all the rules. I just want to have fun!!

I seriously hope they never go back to the insanity of Fastpass+ and giving preferred selection to resort guests at 60 days in advance. No offense, but selecting the Lightning Lanes on the day of your visit does make everything more equal since all the Lightning Lanes are not going to be completely booked before you even purchase your tickets or make a park reservation (Never once saw a Flight of Passage or Seven Dwarfs Mine Train FP+ during its service), otherwise, we are looking at another scenario when all that will be able to book are worthless theater LL. Hope Genie+ stays how it is, however, I have to say that the way it worked at Disneyland (flat fee) is better than the based on demand price that WDW has.

love this information thank you!!!. This stuff is so confusing... lol.

love this information thank you!!!

You are cool 😎

Hi, Im from Europe and am planning to go to one of the Rise's in the world at once. Can I just "buy" my way in (paying, without waiting in line on 7 o clock in the morning?). I plan to go one day, so when I wanna go 1 day to the park, in my life, i just want to enter. if it costs money to have guarantee for the ride... so it be... as long as im in..

Was just there on Saturday and spent 40 bucks for me and my son on Genie+. He wanted slinkydog 1st so at 7am we got it for a 1:40pm return time. We roped dropped RotR and waited about 40 mins. At 9am started stacking LL and booked millennium falcon, then Toy Story Mania, Star Tours & squeezed in Swirling Sauces because it was a 10 min queue. We were done at 12:30 & decided to skip slinkydog. Left and went to Universal. Good day. Had reservations for Roundup at 11:30 but canceled.

We have half day tickets (so we can get in at 1pm). If we buy genie+ will we be able to get the ride times for when we will be in the park?

If my whole party is using genie + but I need to use rider switch, can we all book the next genie plus after party 1 has tapped into the ride or do we need to wait for me to use my rider switch pass before we can book the next genie plus ride? Also, rise of the resistance is not listed as a ride that accepts rider switch. Is that really the case? Please to a video on rider switch :)

And even if you book a lightning lane for the next opening, which happens to be 4hrs later, you're NOT GUARANTEED TO EVEN BE ABLE TO USE IT We booked it for Soaring over California at 12 o'clock, the next opening was 4 o'clock. We couldn't use any Lightning Lanes for 4 HOURS. 30 minutes before it was our time, Genie+ said "no more lightning lanes are available, because the wait time is 170 minutes" Then we went over to Disneyland and I was able to use it one more time before Disneyland closed By the end of that day I only got to use my Genie plus pass a total of 3 times

If we make a modification does our 120 minute wait time start over?

Is only the a la carte lightning lanes max 2 at a time? Does it apply to when you have a regular lightning lane and 1 a la cart? Is there a max for just regular lightning lanes?

Is the Genie+ needed for the middle of September?

Wow 4 views...never been this early
