Hey Rob. I have to say.. YOU ARE THE BEST! Because of you, we rode on 14 rides in Magic Kingdom with a 2 year old in 1 day -- your Genie+ tips were awesome. People spend months for a Disney vacation but I had to plan it in 1.5 weeks lol. With your videos, I was able to priority how to use Genie+, which rides I should go for first, how to stack and so many tips. Thank you again for all you do to make people's Disney vacations come to life! -Chris

I had no clue you could book lighting lanes for two parks at the same time soo cool

Was anxiously awaiting a new Ear Scouts video! 10 days without a video is too long!! 😆

We went a month ago to animal kingdom and park hopped to epcot and we're at the parks on a wednesday. Here was our agenda -purchased guardians LL for 230 -safari booked for 930 - we rode everest without a fast pass first - went to safari -booked test track for 2:45 -watched festival of lion king - waited for flight of passage - fast pass for everest - fast pass for dinosaur - park hopped around 215 - rode guardians and booked virtual queue for guardians - rode test track - ate dinner at San Angel inn and restaurants at 415 - had a Remy LL booked for 445 - LL for soaring - LL turtle talk - waited for spaceship earth

I've always felt these two parks paired best with eachother with one opening early and the other staying open later. Might I also recommend taking the AK bus to DHS and riding the skyliner or friendship boats to the international entrance at EPCOT. Feels like no wasted steps if you enter the park there. Those are the two biggest parks so your dogs will be barking but the magic helps...

We did this scenario of AK to Epcot just last week. Sharing what we did as resort guests if it helps anyone! We booked Remy first thing, did a ILL for Guardians and then rope dropped Flight of Passage at 7:30am. We walked to Safari which was just opening and had about a 10 minute wait. We then relaxed and enjoyed the park for a bit while my son and his grandmother did Everest. We definitely could've done Genie for Navi or other AK things but I wanted to make sure we'd have Remy. I booked Test Track as my next LL. We also had the advantage of Extended Evening Hours in Epcot so we actually went back to the hotel and had a nap/rest. We then hopped to Epcot around 4:30/5 and did pretty much everything including the virtual queue at 6pm for Guardians. We rode Remy, Frozen, Test Track and all the other rides during the extended evening. It was a looong day but fun! If we hadn't had Extended Evening hours, we would've hopped directly and probably accomplished the same amount.

Always look forward to your videos. They are like a Master's class on how to do Disney right!

Rob, this was so helpful!! I was trying to figure out how to get Genie+ rides in my first park while stacking in the next and I never once considered alternating. Thank you so much!!

Finally talking about hopping Genie+ strategy!! First Like it then watch it! Lol

More of these please!!! This video was SO helpful!

Amazing video as usual Rob! My family and I will be park hopping from Animal kingdom to Epcot next week!! Can’t thank you enough for this!😊

Thank you so much for your videos!

I love Na’vi river journey it’s always my rope drop ride. One time I rode it twice in a row, it definitely was a zen way to start my AK day

So happy you finally made this!! Thank you!!!

I love your videos!!! Awesome video

Thank you! We are doing this exact park hopper option next week! This has been super helpful!

ALL genie plus lightning lanes AND flight of passage! 😃 another amazing video Rob 👏🏼❤️

awesome video once again, thank you! :)

Thanks Rob for making this video, I've learned a lot from you again. Can' wait for joining you on your next adventure.

Just came to thank you for all the super helpful tips! Just came back from the most perfect Disney vacation. We actually did this day in reverse - early entry epcot (virtual queue for guardians, ran to frozen, and genie plus for remy), then hopped to AK in the afternoon (stacking genie plus LL for most attractions, buying ILL for flight of passage, and just enjoyed short lines for the rest). The only thing I was not successful with was playing the slots - never got me a better time. Maybe bc I didn’t have more than a few minutes at a time (small kids), or maybe bc my group was large (I forgot your tip to break it up if needed). Still got everything we needed though! Thanks again!

Great info, and always entertaining to watch. Not to mention, I love all your different Disney ears. 🥰

A very emotionally draining day at work.....my brain put on Rob from Ear Scouts.

I'd love to see a park hop from Magic Kingdom to Hollywood Studios, the two most popular parks!

Great video thanks for sharing!!

Yay!! So excited for a new video! Can't wait to watch.

Living with the land is a must do for me.

I could and have watched you all day (since I found you yesterday) I can finally understand that Genie+ mess, lol. I am looking forward to many more of your videos

OMG! I can't believe you did this! I was curious to see if you had this video because I'm planning on doing this with my Mom when we go. U R DA BEST!!! So happy, all your videos are helping me so much. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

My name is Craig Dennis i watch your new videos all the time and they are great videos i in joy all of your videos all the time i never miss your new videos👍👍👍👍👍

Thank you for this! Was trying to figure out which of the 2 parks to do first and this helped a lot. Mainly going to Epcot for Frozen.

Great video. Perfect parks to park hop to & from. We will not be doing a park hopper when we come in May as we have 1 day in each park anyway. Your tips for Genie+ are the best. Always enjoy when you do a new video. Love looking out for them. Thanks

I thought the 2 hours started when the park I was at opened, you just saved my life. Redoing my strategy right now thanks to this video. Not getting that Remy LL at 7 will have me anxious 4 sure.

Wanted to say thank you for your Genie + park hopping videos. When I was searching for this you were one of the only vloggers that popped up. Even though I wasn't park hopping the same parks as your video, your strategy worked perfect. I was also trying to get 7 fast passes at a time as I was with a large group this trip. This was also my first time using G+. So glad to add you to my Disney Vlogger must match list.

Love this video - we always start at animal kingdom and hop to Hollywood but now I see another option :)

We’re going to try to do exactly this July 4th weekend. Thanks for the tips!!

Your videos have become my fave. No pressure…but I’m counting on your advice to help my family have the best Disney trip ever! 😂 I’d love to see you cover two things: 1) park hopping to parks on extended evening days. Like Hollywood to Epcot, and Animal Kingdom to Magic Kingdom (if that even is a good idea). 2) Please cover a day at Flower & Garden Fest specifically. All rides, food, sites, & activities! How would you tackle this and make it a fun relaxing day? Can you sleep in and do this? Am I asking you for too much? 😂 Anyway…continue being awesome & bringing great content! We appreciate you!

Such a fun video… I love living vicariously through you! 😂 It was really interesting to see that even on a day when Genie+ sold out, the low demand rides in Epcot still had immediate availability. Do you recall if those had much of a standby wait at that time? Well thank you for another fun video, and I’m glad you got that green light at Remy just in the nick of time!

Great video!! 💕 Would love to see one with animal kingdom and Hollywood studios in the same day.

Hey Rob! Love your videos, very informative and helpful. Hope to see you there this xmas holiday. Not sure how busy it could get between Christmas and New year:)

I'm going last week of March, Epcot to Magic Kingdom would be lovely lol

My group and I are visiting May 30th and are thinking about doing Hollywood->Magic Kingdom as we’re only visiting one day. It would be awesome to see a video on how to make the most of our time with that plan!

I was underwhelmed by FoP personally. I would never want to wait over 3 hours to ride. However I would wait 3 hours to ride expedition Everest it was so good.

I’m going to basically attempt to do this exact thing, except to set ratatouille at the end instead of beginning so I’m in France for the end of the night show! (Think that makes sense) Great video!!

Would love to see what your favorite park hopping pairs are and maybe one from Magic kingdom to Hollywood! Thanks for your great videos!

Hey Rob! Can you please do this video again now that we can park hop before 2pm?!?!? Would love to see if a fair amount could be done in both parks by 3pm. 😅

Fantastic video...UK here, staying at Beach Club in Sept and thinking start HS then park hop to Epcot on extended hrs day...still trying to work out how long a day that will be!!! Lol. Thanks Rob for the great tips, the best x

It would be helpful if you could show your active Lightning Lane bookings in the bottom of your video. It was kind of confusing to keep track of your plan. However, your videos are lifesavers. Thank you so much.😃

Rob! We’re there at the same time and I was on the earscouts look out! We were at the Lion King at the same time and I swear I saw us in the video below was our successful day! Park open 8:00am Rope drop 7:00 Avatar flight of Passage 7:50 ✅ Standby lane for Na’vi River 20 mine 8:45 ✅ It’s a bug life 5 min wait done 9:00 Snack time 9:30 ✅ Everest LL 9:40 ✅ Triceraptop spin 10:05 ✅ Dinosaur 10:25 ✅ Shop 10:45 Rafikki train ride 11:50 Vet 11:50-12:20 Festival of the lion king 1:00 Lunch Tusker’s house 1:50

Rob… your channel is MAGICAL! Our family of 4 went to Disney last year where we tried Genie+ for the first time. While the trip was amazing, I’d rate our experience with Genie+ a C+ at best… We stumbled upon your videos while researching for our upcoming trip in May and can I just say… we literally CANNOT WAIT to go back with all of your tips and tricks! From your easy to understand explanation of how to navigate Genie+ to how to most effectively park hop, we know for certain this is a game changer when it comes to our vacation. Thank you so much for taking the time to release this content and make our experiences even more magical. Keep up all the awesomeness, we can’t wait to see what you release next!

Amazing work Rob. Great content. Thanks so much. Coming from the UK in 28 sleeps. You and Disney Tourist Blog (are you all friends???) are my "go to" Disney Genie's! See what I did there?😀

I really enjoyed this video, I would not have believed you could get so much done when park hopping to Epcot! Where was the area you saw Harmonious from?

I'd looove to see an AK to MK day. We are animal lovers but hoping to make use of those extra couple hours at MK in the evening

Love your videos ❤ 1 more year to be there 😅

Hi Rob. I was wondering if you plan an AK into HS hopping video and how you would strategize Slinky Dog in that situation?

I’m always so impressed with your genie+ wizardry! Question: when you were booking the ‘big 3’ Epcot rides from AK and they were showing as not available, did you play the slots by just continuously refreshing until it showed a time, or did you book a different Epcot ride (mission space or something) then immediately start modifying until you got the ride you actually wanted? (I assume the 2nd one because I know that would start your 2 hour clock but wasn’t sure!) Great video as always!

So what kind of ears are those?

We're literally doing this in a couple of weeks. Starting at Animal Kingdom and then going to Epcot. We weren't planning to do Genie on that day but do a couple ILLs (Guardian's and FOP) I hope that's a good plan😬

Your videos are so helpful! I'm going in september and I've learned so much. So you can book a LL for the other park starting at opening time for that park even though you can't actually go there until 2? And you're able to stack them one after the other while still booking LLs for the original park you start out in?

Can you do a park hop video with the best strategy for doing AK, HW & Epcot? And the best order to do them in

Hi Rob, thanks for the tips as always. Recently went back and watched your large party Genie+ video and have a question. Visiting during the Tron Opening & Easter week so I’m assuming the parks will be almost as crowded as they were for you on Dec30. I have a party of 6 on some days and a party of 7 on others. Should we split into a party of 3&3 and 4 & 3 on Genie+? Also, will Tron be easier to get as one group of 7 or as two smaller groups, obviously the risk there being the two groups might not get the same return time. Thanks again!

Hey Rob! As always your videos are incredibly helpful! I am actually planning to do this exact thing (start at AK and hop to Epcot). My question is if I want to purchase an ILL for Guardians, can I while also purchasing an ILL for Flight of Passage? Thanks!

Could you do video reversing this?! Do Epcot and then park hop to AK? Even though AK seems to be the better park to start at, I’d be interested to see what it’s like to start at Epcot first!

@earscouts Rob - thank you so much for your videos! We have been to Disney numerous times over the years, but the last time we went was 2 years ago in that interim period after they discontinued FP and before they unveiled Genie+. To that end - I am trying to learn all the tips and tricks from your videos for navigating Genie + and ILL. A couple questions if you’ll indulge me… 1) Can you elaborate a little more in the alternating LL strategy for park hopping? 2) We only have 2 days down there this trip, so we are trying to figure out which 2 parks we should pair up each day. If we did the two together as in this video, that would leave MK and HS for the other day. Wondering if that might be a difficult pairing? Also, one of our days is also MNSSHP day. We will not be attending, but not sure how that might factor in to the equation. To add - our group (all over age 8) will want to ride a mix of coasters (ideally all major rides) and a few smaller, nostalgic rides.

Hi Rob, only just discovered your channel but it is an absolute game changer! Your tips and tricks on Genie + and general park knowledge is incredible. No other Disney World channel compares. Coming over to Disney World from the UK at the end of April and shall be using all the tips you've been giving! Keep up the amazing work!! 😁

Can you do ways to hop? Different park options.

I've just discovered your channel and have been binge watching your videos. You are so articulate and fun to watch. Thanks for all the great content!

I love your channel so much. You’ve really helped me, my Disney trip was perfect thanks yo all your tips. Sending the best vibes to you💓💓💓 THANK YOU SO MUCH💗

I love your videos! Keep up the great work! I have a quick question; If I am going to be in one park in the morning (DHS) and hop over to Epcot at 2 pm, will I be able to purchase the individual LL for Guardians in advance even though I will not be starting in that park? Thanks in advance.

Gonna copy this for August! We're staying on property so hopefully early entry will allow us to squeeze FOP before park opens. Any tips for Hollywood Studios -> Magic Kingdom?

Hello Rob, I recently found your helpful channel and I want to appreciate you for all the wonderful tips you provide. Well, my family will be visiting Disney World for the first time in early July; could you kindly suggest the best website for us to buy tickets on? Thank You

You do a great job but I was never able to get more than 4 lightening lanes in one day. Most days were 3. You must have great luck!

Rob - What do you think about doing an AK afternoon? We're do a half-day in the parks when we arrive in early May, and plan is to get to ASM by 12:30, then over to AK by 1pm to eat lunch. We weren't planning to get genie+ for just that half day but hoping to do Na'vi, Flight of Passage, & Everest. Seem feasible before park close since it's the off-season?

I’m planning a trip for October and I’ve become very overwhelmed with all this planning and strategizing to consider. With the time allowed we have decided to get 2 day park hopper passes. How would you suggest to group two parks per day???

We will so doing AK and hopw Epcot on a day we do buy G+ 😊

Do you have a video which shows how to book individual attraction for some of your party?

Your videos are so helpful! We leave in 2 months and I’m taking notes!

If you need to wait 30 minutes to book an attraction, isn’t it better to go to the walk by line and go 2 times?

I still can't get over Disney changing from the original format of Test Track. I told the wife they should have ask me before doing that. She said they probably didn't know me. I mean really.......they don't know "ME". Oh well, that's Disney's loss.😎

I'm planning to do AK and then have After Hours event ticket at Epcot for that night. Can I use Genie+ to reserve LL in Epcot starting at my allowed entry time of 7 pm until my event @ 10 pm? Thanks!

Re: no Genie+ LL availability for Remy's, how long do you play the slots for and hope something comes up vs. cutting your losses and booking Frozen? Can you ever modify lightning lane from 1 attraction to another?

Awesome video! I'm not totally clear on booking at both parks. Does the two hour rule span both of the parks? Like do you need to do genie + at Animal OR Epcot? Or are you able to play genie + at Animal while at the same time at Epcot? Meaning, can you book an 11 genie + at Animal Kingdom and be booking one for Epcot at the same time? I'm not sure why I did not catch this...

5:20 LMAO

When booking those LL for Epcot....did you try to get the first one when you estimated your time of arrival? Or did you try to get it at a later time in the evening? Following the 2 hour rule, I guess it does not matter the time of your next LL as long as they don't overlap? Or can they overlap and you do one and then rush to the next before it expires? Is this what you mean by stacking? I love your videos! Just wish you were my brother, so I could be a nagging sister and make you be my tour guide of the day! I'm learning and taking all the notes I can. It's a grandma/ grandson trip and I will admit I'm afraid of Everest and I really want to force myself to ride it....Scared!!!

Hi Rob, I love your very well explained videos !!, Please I need your advice with the following, I will spend two day for Disney using Park Hopping and initially I've planned Day 1: MK - AK - MK (for the night show) - Day 2: EC - DS, what do you think about that ? Will you do it in another way ? Thank you so much!

So if I have pixie pass can I park hop if I only make one reservation for the first one?

Hi Rob! Quick question: If my plan was AK and then hop to HS in the afternoon with Genie+, should I book something in AK (Navi River) first, or play it safe and book slinky dog dash

How were you able to book soarin at 5:40 if you had rent at 4? Isn’t that within the two hours?

Do you have any tips on doing this park hopper day now that the rules have changed? We’d like to start at animal kingdom but still would like to ride Gaurdians that afternoon/night. Is there a trick to getting a VQ for later?

What type of transportation did you use to get from AK to Epcot that day?

Tusker house for breakfast at Animal Kingdom. Anyone else?

Do you have to be in Epcot to buy the individual LL?

Great video! How long does it take to get from Animal Kingdom to Epcot? By what transportation?

Does the 2-hour clock count from the time you actually book your lightly lane or from the time of the return ride?

Brilliant again.

Hi Rob! If there is 1 person who wants a specific ride and the others in the party want a different ride, can you break up the bookings for LL? Say hubs wants to ride test track but the kids and I want something else. Can we book him on test track and us on a different ride during the same 2 hour window?

Can I request, almost beg and hopping from HS to MK. I know, tall order! But if someone can do it it’s you!!!

Would Epcot to animal kingdom be better?

your videos are SO informative!! Can’t express how grateful I am to have found them!! I have one question if you’re able to help as I truly feel like you are the Genie and Parkhop king. I’ve been to wdw many times so familiar with rides and park layout, but I have never park hopped before!!! 😬I am going in early June for 3 days, but want to go to all 4 parks and hit all the big rides I love 🤞🏼which parks would you recommend hopping to and in what order? ( my first thought was AK/Epcot, but i’ve seen people say AK/HS is a better hop option when you have to merge parks or to do AK in the pm bc of hard to get LLS at epcot and HS) Also would you still recommended making LLs back & forth between the parks with or just do all of them for epcot or HS because of so many priority LLs that sell out at those two parks? I’m willing to pay for some ILLs and we will have early entry staying at POP! Thank you in advance, your knowledge is truly so helpful!!!!☺️

Really do enjoy all your videos. We will be In WDW May 2023 for only 3days please post how to maximize 3dys in all 4 parks/hopper, genie+, and ind Lighting lane, fantastic dining pkg, How would you plan it with all adults no kids. ❤

Shhhh!!! Don't tell everyone! It does work though, even if the vast majority of genie plus selections are gone... don't ask how I know ;) You will end up missing 1-2 things from each park, but can still do the vast majority and have a sit down lunch (Nomad Lounge!) and a sit down dinner. If you don't book Remy at 7am for EPCOT though, it looks like it's mostly sold out shortly afterward and the line is INSANE. Oh wait! It was $29 when we did the same thing and it was the Sunday of the President's day weekend. Maybe we walked right by you!! At 10:58am Frozen and Text Track were sold out for the day and were sold out for the WHOLE day when we were trying, and it was a group of 6. And yes... we tried the slots for an hour (libations at Nomad lounge helped A LOT....), but no matter what, nothing came back.
