You truly are a saint. I have learned so much from you. I was so excited to recognize you at Jollywood last year because you have taught me so much about how to have the best Disney trips. Thanks for all you do!
Don’t even have a trip planned until May but I swear your channel is better than watching Netflix. Doing a HS/EPCOT day and an AK/MK day with LLMP in May-would love to see a video about how you would knock out that kind of a park day!
This is seriously invaluable information. Not going until late November but I sure hope I can still follow your advice then. Thank you for all your work!
Thank you for all your videos! It sure has made planning for our 1st every trip less stressful! Not sure if the MK video will be up before our trip in a week but all your other videos gave me the confidence I need to make every disney day a success!
@EarScouts that's ok! I have seen all your latest videos multiple times. We have 2 MK days so I am sure we will get to do all we want. I will compare what we did to your video when we get back! Thank you for all you do!!
That show tip is what's good...I was trying to figure out what a good throwaway would be at HS but I didn't even consider the shows, I didn't realize they started that early.
I kind of stumbled across that without thinking about it as I was preparing for this video. I always play the slots when I’m waiting for a show, I just never thought to be more deliberate about it before. It works best at Studios because of the ratio of rides to big shows. Thanks for watching!
This video. 🧑🍳 so good. This is like my exact perfect day. Start with frozen and I hope you ended with Fantasmic. All the rides done. Great job. Your videos are so fun and informative. You’re like opening day Epcot Center personified. Thanks for everything you guys do.
My family and I are going to disney world on the 8th all the way from Brazil and your channel has helped me plan so much but I'm still super nervous about not being able to ride everything and give the group a good time 😅
Hey I was watching one of your LL videos. If you are scanned in and already did a LL, but a person at work or at a hotel isn’t scanned in and they also have LL, can you ask a cast member to bypass that so you can make a new LL for them? We have 3 LL but 1 person in my party will probably join us later in the day. Amazing content, keep up the good work!
Hello! The answer to this question used to be yes - you could ask a Guest Relations CM to “redeem” the LL for your friend so that they could join you on LLs later in the day. This became controversial however when people would book LLMP at Animal Kingdom (which is cheaper) and then only part of the group would go there to “unlock” so that the entire group would be able to book at MK or HS (which should be more expensive). Now it is up to the discretion of the CM, so be very nice and explain that the person is unavoidably not able to join you in the morning. It will be easier if you are not park hopping and/or are starting in MK (which is already the most expensive). Good luck! 🍀
You mentioned that getting a good seat at the 2nd Fantasmic show is a breeze, but what if the 930 show is the only show? (planned date is March 4) I want to end the day in Toy Story but don't want to miss out on a good seat for Fantasmic! Tips? Thanks! You do the best job with your videos!
LL question. Does the 3 days for off site guests start before the first ticket day or first LL day? For example, we are going to Disney World in February and doing AK Saturday, MK Monday, and HS Tuesday. We are only using LL at MK and HS. Will we be able to book 3 days before Saturday or 3 days before Monday?
Hi David! It’s based on the first day that your multi-day ticket is eligible to give you access to the park. If it is not a date based ticket, it is based on the park pass reservation itself (like for an AP). Does that make sense? It’s a little confusing with all the different ticket types. 😂
If you book a LL for part of your party can you book a different one for the other part and have 4 booked at once? Runaway railway for all 4 Slinky for all 4 Rockin for 2 Alien saucers for 2
Hi David! You sure can. If you are pre-booking, it will default to the whole group. Then you would cancel for those that want a different ride and it would free you to book something else for them.
May I ask what phone and camera settings you have for your videos??? I’ve been watching your videos for months, going to Disney world for the first time next week!
Sure - I use an iPhone 16 Pro with 24 fps as my frame rate and I stabilize with a DJI OM 6. For the shots of me talking, I use a DJI Pocket 3 and DJI Mic 2. Thanks for watching - we hope you have an amazing trip! 😀
@ Thank you again. Saludos desde Chile! 🇨🇱 ps: I figured you had HDR because in my iPhone the video looks amazing, but it looks different in my tv (not bad, just not as amazing as in my iPhone)
Just a tip if you are booking 7 days before as a hotel guest and are joining with friends who are not and have to book 3 days before and want to sync up. If you book yours 7 days before, have your non hotel guests try to get a LL to overlap with your first ride of the day. the trick is to tap in as early as possible. One everyone taps into their first ride, only then will you all be able to join the planning party together.
Interesting. How were you able to merge the later ones after tapping into the first attraction? Did the app let you merge somehow or did a Cast Member help you with that?
@@EarScouts I haven't been able to test it yet. I will soon. This is just what a cast member told me how to sync up our planning party since you can't add non hotel guests to your planning party before your park day.
Does playing the slots only work when you are n the parks? I was just trying it at home ( have rides booked for the next couple of days) but it doesn't seem to search for me here.
It should work from wherever you are as long as you have Lightning Lanes currently booked. Can you modify your Lightning Lanes? If so, what do you see?
@flippinmylid Yes - you will often see things remain unchanged until the day before your visit (and even then, things mainly pick up in the afternoon/evening). It’s just that not many people are changing their LLs that early so you won’t see much movement. I recommend checking off and on and just refreshing a few times when you check until things start to get more active.
The Donald photobomb at 18:20 just made my day, lol.
That was Disney Magic at its best!
That was so fun. I really had no idea he was there. 🤣
Rob - The hero we needed but didn't deserve
I’m the one who doesn’t deserve all of you! Thanks so much for watching. 😃
The Professor
I can't wait for the magic kingdom video! Your personality is so wholesome, and the blooper with donald was awesome lol
I think getting photobombed by Donald Duck might be my favorite parks moment of 2024. 😂 Thanks for watching!
You truly are a saint. I have learned so much from you. I was so excited to recognize you at Jollywood last year because you have taught me so much about how to have the best Disney trips. Thanks for all you do!
Thanks so much - and thank you for saying hello at Jollywood! 😃
A fantastic and helpful video as usual - the Donald photobomb was just so fun!! ❤
Donald is #1! 😂 Thanks for watching.
The goat of vacation planning
Thanks for the accolade. 🐐 And for watching! 😀
Rob- your videos have saved our one time trip to Disney World! My 4 and 7 year old thank you 💖💖 thanks so much!!!
Aww - so glad to hear it! Thanks for watching. 😃
Don’t even have a trip planned until May but I swear your channel is better than watching Netflix. Doing a HS/EPCOT day and an AK/MK day with LLMP in May-would love to see a video about how you would knock out that kind of a park day!
Thanks so much - that’s quite a compliment. 😃 We’ll likely do some more park hopping videos soon. Hope you have an amazing trip!
Rob, your videos are my favorites. Thank you so much!
Thank YOU so much for this lovely comment. 😊
One of your best videos in a while. Keep up the great work!
Thanks so much! We’ve been working on this one for a while, so I’m glad you enjoyed it. 😊
I've been really looking forward to this video so thank you for taking the time to put it together!
Thank YOU for watching! I hope you find it helpful for your next visit. 🙂
I was waiting for this!!!! I’ll be at HS next week, thank you so much for this video 🫶
Hope you have an amazing visit!
@ tysm! Waiting for your magic kingdom video hehe
Two days before we go to HS! Perfect timing! As always, excellent and informative video. The best videos out there. Thank you!
Hope you have an amazing vacation - and thanks for watching! 😃
This is seriously invaluable information. Not going until late November but I sure hope I can still follow your advice then. Thank you for all your work!
I hope one for every park is coming!!!!❤
We’re only missing Magic Kingdom now and it is in the process of being edited right now!
@@EarScoutsthanks to you I feel like a pro and I’ve never even been to WDW yet (going in Feb) THANK YOU!
I’m so glad you posted this! I have been watching your old videos to get my EarScouts fix! 🤓
Thanks so much for watching! Hope you enjoyed this one. 😃
How ironic, I was planning out how to figure out the best Hollywood Studios strategy as soon as you uploaded this!!
Glad we timed this one right! 😂 Hope you enjoy it. Thanks for watching!
Super helpful stuff, thanks!
Thanks for watching! 😃
So informative and practical as always ! ❤❤❤❤
Glad you found this one helpful. 😀
Thank you for all your videos! It sure has made planning for our 1st every trip less stressful! Not sure if the MK video will be up before our trip in a week but all your other videos gave me the confidence I need to make every disney day a success!

I can hear “Nothing Can Stop Us Now” when I see your ears! 😊 Great job! 👏
lol - I get that song stuck in my head more than “it’s a small world” these days. 😂 It’s catchy!
I love how Donald Duck bombed your video. 🤣
Me too - it was such a fun surprise. 😄
That show tip is what's good...I was trying to figure out what a good throwaway would be at HS but I didn't even consider the shows, I didn't realize they started that early.

Great video
Thanks, Martha!
This is crazy. I just commented on your EPCOT video that I badly needed one for Hollywood studios!!
Disney Magic! 🪄🤣

Mmm - now I want Stromboli. 😄 Thanks so much for watching and for this lovely comment.
My kids and I all loved the Donald bomb. 😂
It was one of my favorite moments in the parks last year. Donald is #1! 😂
What a timely video. Doing Hollywood tomorrow 😂. Going to have to see how our approaches differ. Hopefully I can still apply some of the tips.
Good luck! Hope we cross paths this weekend so I can say hello. 😀
Me too! EPCOT is Sunday :)
So you can get "infinite" multi pass uses? Not just 3? They don't say that anywhere on the multi pass booking!
It’s just 3 at a time❤
Well, the only limitation is that you can only use each LL once. But yes, as you use each LL, you are free to book another. Thanks for watching! 😃
My family and I are going to disney world on the 8th all the way from Brazil and your channel has helped me plan so much but I'm still super nervous about not being able to ride everything and give the group a good time 😅
You’ve got this! 🙌 Good luck with those slots. 🎰

is it possible to do all the rides (not counting shows) if you just line up at the stand-by queue?

And… Do you record with HDR on or off?
@@PabloR94I record and edit in HDR. It makes a big difference.

The only way an ear scout lightning lane video can get better is Rob being photobombed by Donald Duck!

Don’t waste your money on a touring plans subscription. Rob’s videos are way better!
