    • @EarScouts
      @EarScouts  11 днів тому

      Hi Tarafic - glad to hear you have found our videos helpful! Yes, you can take the first bus, which will typically leave around 1 hour before early entry begins at Hollywood Studios. I would arrive at the bus stop 15 minutes before that time since the bus can arrive early and when the resort is crowded, the first bus may fill up before you get to board if you’re farther back in line. Hope you have a great trip!

    Off-topic question: do you always shoot b-roll every time you ride a ride, or do you have a "stockpile" of ride b-roll that you just use and re-use?

    • @EarScouts
      @EarScouts  11 днів тому +2

      Thank YOU for watching! Yes, I have a lot of b-roll stockpiled, but I always film new footage for outdoor attractions because the sky always looks different and also because it is less distracting for other guests on outdoor rides. For indoor rides, I occasionally update the footage to keep it fresh or when I get new equipment, though I’ll often skip filming if I can so I don’t disturb other folks around me.

      @@EarScouts I’ve always wondered if you truly ride all the rides after tapping in for a video. Some days don’t you just skip a ride here or there if you aren’t in the mood? Or are you always in the mood for a Disney ride?? 😊

    • @EarScouts
      @EarScouts  6 днів тому +1

      I’m always in the mood, though I will very occasionally do this when I need to make up time. For example, I may need to film something unrelated to the current video which can put me behind schedule. In that case, I might skip the ride to get back to where I should have been time-wise.

    If you book Soarin as your first tier 1 choice, what is the likelihood that you still get frozen and Remy throughout the day? One person in my group has never ridden Soarin so that is a priority for us, but I’m worried about choosing that first and never being able to get a time for either of the other two tier 1 rides.

    • @EarScouts
      @EarScouts  9 днів тому +2

      Soarin is easy to book. It will be available pretty much all day whereas the other two will not. I would always aim for Frozen or Remy as the pre-booked tier 1 if you plan to book both.

      When you book a Single Pass Lightning Lane (which used to be called an Individual Attraction Lightning Lane) it is guaranteed that you can ride the attraction during the time you book it for (you will select the time before you buy) IF it is operating at that time. If the ride goes down during your time slot, you will be given an “experience redemption” that will allow you to come back when it reopens (assuming it does reopen).
