Thanks so much for the tips! We followed your tips and we were able to knock out everything we wanted to do (Rise, Slinky Dog, Runaway Railroad, Toy Story Mania etc) plus enjoy a few rides multiple times…. On top of enjoying lunch at Hollywood and Vine!!! 🤩🤩
great advice, thanks so much! Ive done hollywood studios videos before but haven't experienced Genie + yet, really not looking forward to it, I wish we had the option of planning 3 rides to start with and then if you get lucky add more. Really liked the planning and thought of this video.
Such Valuable info! Are u able to actually pick your ride time for Resistance when purchasing it under Individual Lightning Lane? And this is separate from getting it under Genie+ ?
Hello! Thanks for your amazing videos and work you do for us! We’re going in early May for our sons second Birthday and our daughter will be six months at the time. It’s will be our first time going and your videos have been so helpful. We have an itinerary set up but we know it may not go as planned. We would like to know if the fantasmic package is worth it or should we be fine showing up a half hour before the show on a Saturday night? Also have three character dinings set which we also might not make all three. I find it’s too many. But we do have the Hollywood vine fantasmic package set for Saturday. We also have garden grill and lastly cape may for checkout morning breakfast. My son loves fish and coral reef is on our list. I might have to cut out garden grill for that. Which do you prefer? Thanks!
Hey! I have seen Fantasmic 6 times since it came out and have always gotten a spot. However, early bird gets the worm for a BETTER spot. You don't need the Dining package but I would arrive 45-60 early for the best views. Thanks for watching/commenting!
I heard that for guests not staying on disney property there is a second chance to buy lighting lane tickets for rise of the resistance right when the park opens
As far as I know...its only if there are any available, so not all the time. You can always try at park opening but they are usually gone before then. But its worth a try all the same. Thanks for watching/commenting!
On the Disney website on frequently asked questions, it states that booking for Genie+ lightning lanes starts at 7am to everyone even if they’re not staying at a Disney resort. So everyone has a chance to book at the same time both Genie+ Lightning lanes, however ILL for people not staying at resorts would have to wait until normal park opening hours to book. I’ve been doing a lot of research as I’m planning a trip in January. The best you can do is make sure you’re already at the gate so that when the park opens, you can immediately go to rise and get in the standby line. Check your Genie+ at opening as you’re making your way to Rise to see if any ILL times open up and while you’re at the standby line. That way you have more chances to get in 😁
Did one person in your party pay for rise and the other person try to get the lightning Lane At the same time at 7 AM? Or did you do them one after another? If so which one did you do first?
Do you think it’s realistic to rope drop Tower of Terror and also get in MMRR during rope drop? We have a group of 13 ppl and all ages so it’s a mix of everything. I plan to pass slinky dog and buy rise.
Hi Nina, If I'm not staying at a Disney Resort, and I want to ride "Rise of the Resistance" a what time of the day do you recomend staying in line for it? Thanks!
NO Jedi Training and NO shows but yes on the Cavalcades. In fact if you watch my Hollywood VLOG...you will see the Cavalcade. I designed these, so you watch BOTH videos to maximize the understanding of the Park. Thanks for watching/commenting!
They are Ride Chickens, lol. They see the coaster and say NO thanks. I know many little kids that LOVE it. Its a coaster designed for families but its fast and has some hills and dips...but nothing crazy. Not a first ride for kids, but for sure if you have little thrill junkies. Thanks for watching/commenting!
Not yet, but I am thinking about it. For NON Genie, I would follow a similar path, just won't get as many rides...so pick your top 5-10 and do those. Thanks for watching/commenting!
This is the best video I’ve seen. Thank you.
You're very welcome! I have them for ALL 4 Parks. Thanks for watching/commenting!
Best itinerary video! Love the flexible options , and the map comments on how far the clusters are !
Thanks so much! And thanks for watching/commenting!

OMG - YAY! Thanks for watching/commenting!
It is annoying how everyone caters to people staying onsite can you do a full one that is a plan only for non resort guests
Great tips! Thank you! This helped out sooo much!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching/commenting!

I miss the ahead planning too, but sadly...this is the way. Thanks for watching/commenting!
Awesome Video Thanks for sharing 💓

Sounds like you need this video - ua-cam.com/video/c7ehh7v1_VI/v-deo.html Thanks for watching/commenting!
I would suggest keeping itinerary to no more than 12 minutes . It’s just to long but you did a great job . Do you have one just for adults ?
My 4 NON Kids Versions can be for adults. As most adults also enjoy the traditional rides. Thanks for watching/commenting!
Do you think it’s realistic to rope drop Tower of Terror and also get in MMRR during rope drop? We have a group of 13 ppl and all ages so it’s a mix of everything. I plan to pass slinky dog and buy rise.
I would look at the Tip Board before your trip and see the trend...as popularity in the AM changes.
Hi Nina,
If I'm not staying at a Disney Resort, and I want to ride "Rise of the Resistance" a what time of the day do you recomend staying in line for it? Thanks!
As soon as the Park Opens or late at night would be best. During the day would be highest wait time. Thanks for watching/commenting!
Is it worth trying to rope drop Rise of the Resistance if you are staying on property?
Sure! If you can be the first ones in the park, go for it. Thanks for watching/commenting!
I know this vid is a bit older so maybe you won't see this... what do you mean when you say "scan 2 times??"
I explain this is several videos - you usually have to scan in 2x per Genie+ Thanks for watching/commenting!
Interesting.. thank you!
Do they have cavalcades or parades or outdoor stage shows? What about Jedi Trianon? Any news on that? Thanks!
Oops - Jedi Training !
NO Jedi Training and NO shows but yes on the Cavalcades. In fact if you watch my Hollywood VLOG...you will see the Cavalcade. I designed these, so you watch BOTH videos to maximize the understanding of the Park. Thanks for watching/commenting!
Is there a particular reason your kids don’t like slinky dog? My kids are 6 and 4, trying to gauge whether it would be a ride for them
They are Ride Chickens, lol. They see the coaster and say NO thanks. I know many little kids that LOVE it. Its a coaster designed for families but its fast and has some hills and dips...but nothing crazy. Not a first ride for kids, but for sure if you have little thrill junkies. Thanks for watching/commenting!
Do you have an itinery for non genius plus but resort guests?
Not yet, but I am thinking about it. For NON Genie, I would follow a similar path, just won't get as many rides...so pick your top 5-10 and do those. Thanks for watching/commenting!
Wait! You can reserve two rides at once at 7:00?? I thought the second would come at 11:00? Is it because you pay for the Star Wars Ride?
For Disney Resort Guests ONLY, yes...1 Genie+ and up to 2 ILL rides can be secured at 7am. Thanks for watching/commenting!
Omg! You made my day! I’ve been stressing about those two rides because of how quick reservations go. Amazing!!
