I finally tried Genie+ for the first time last weekend since I was on my first solo trip and I'm SO GLAD I saw your Genie+ video before that because I was able to knock out all the rides I wanted in three parks in one day. I fiddle faddled my butt off. Thank you so much for making great, thorough videos!

[@esta8651]

MAM has the best advice

[@lucyvanlipton7433]

How did your phone battery do? Did it last all day or did you have a portable charger?

[@DisneyBirdLady]

@@lucyvanlipton7433 I had a portable charger that I had to use a few times. I have a Google Pixel 4a that is 3.5 years old and have needed to replace the battery for a while. I also make sure I hold that charger out in front of me outside of my bag when going through security. Lol!

10000% never EVER regret stopping for coffee.

[@michaelschroeck2254]

🤦🏻‍♂️ waiting for an addiction fix is a waste of time. I’m joking. We all have our thing. But even as a coffee drinker I’m not waiting I line for coffee in the morning at a park. You’re smart to be knowledgeable of the kiosks outside the park but those in park lines are like waiting for Peter Pan in the morning.

[@MicheleKlinger]

I love the rope drop series so much! We all have our tried and true methods, and it’s fun to see how Molly does a morning in the parks. Coffee is always a must before even getting into the park regardless of where you’re going lol. I usually come from international gateway/the Skyliner, so I rope drop Remys every time and then just luxuriate around world showcase before the crowds come in.

[@mollyverduzco]

Hi! How early do you get there to rope drop Remy? And then how long do you wait? Trying to plan around it :)

[@MicheleKlinger]

@@mollyverduzco I just say get there as early as you can! I did early entry, so the park my day opened 8:30am. I got to Epcot a little after 8 I think and immediately got on line, and then was basically on the ride by 8:30 (they opened the ride a bit early but idk if that’s always going to happen)

[@mollyverduzco]

@@MicheleKlinger Great that helps, thank you!!

[@MicheleKlinger]

[@Mofa2786]

You pronounced Baumkuchen correct, google was wrong ;-)

[@abbysillaman1244]

I agree! Now I'm not German but I studied the German language in school for a decade and the way she pronounced it sounded more accurate than what Google said, for sure

[@katrinkrocker3338]

As others have already mentioned - you were (almost) right about the correct pronounciation of „Baumkuchen“, google was soooo wrong!

[@monicahorn1]

Agree. I spoke only German as a child. She was correct. Google gave her the "American" version or how an American would say it. In English the "ch" is pronounced "cha". Not so by German speaking peoples.

[@johnjanssens8998]

But mispronounced Liège waffle. But then again they also wrote it wrong as they forgot the accent.

[@meganmoore4820]

I came here to say that! Google was soooo wrong. haha

[@angelareyes8243]

Video idea you should buy Disney scented candles inspired by the parts of the park and tell us if it is accurate or even try to guess the scent blindfolded🤩🕯️

[@FormerChildProdigy]

That would make for a great Mammoth Club Streaming video!

[@jalapeno1119]

I love that!

[@evercuriousmichelle]

Yes!!!

[@MissCassieXxX]

A top tip if you are lucky enough to be on one of the first boats of the day at frozen ever after… you will get a very wet behind as you’ll be the first to absorb the morning tests… take something to either sit on or a change of pants 😂😂😂

[@tlo11738]

The little message about slowing down and families trying to enjoy it ect: I remember being 8/9 (2000) and my mom (non english speaking) booked us a bus/hotel/tickets from an AD on a newspaper. She knew nothing about Disney just that there was a castle. I was able to meet Mickey, go on tons of rides, had lunch (Im sure I whined and my mom was exhausted) but things were SIMPLE. I love disney and go at times as an adult but the simplicity and magic is many many times missing now and days. I do appreciate these kinds of videos trying to help people reduce the stress to increase those magic moments.

[@mcwjes]

As a mom, whose own mom and grandma loves soarin', I can confirm it's the ideal family ride. Everyone can sit together, it smells nice, and it's cool. Plus it's the only flight were I don't have to worry about my kid getting testy and bothering innocent bystanders.

[@Wale0089]

People have probably already said this but your pronunciation of baumkuchen was pretty much correct the first time you tried to pronounce it! In German, you pronounce a CH more like a K. So you were right Molly!

[@amysears1829]

I do love Soarin, and I am a Mom..so factual information, lol.

[@Mammoth_Club]

👏👏

[@newgrange752]

LOL... I cannot tell you how many times I tell friends and family that are planning a trip when they ask for advice on going to disney, " you have to remember it is a vacation, you are not going to do EVERYTHING, you are there to have fun. just relax! ".

[@PrincessMeggala0913]

Can someone please explain this to my mom?! I swear she is “go go go!” every time we’re at Disney. I’m guilty at being that way too sometimes, but I’ve learned recently that it’s okay to slowwwww dooooooown! (Unless pirates has a very short wait. Then I WILL “fast walk” and leave everyone else behind…..hehe)

[@MC-nb6jx]

I always tell those that’ll listen “stop and smell the roses” otherwise you’ll miss so much. It’s definitely not all about the rides😉

[@user-tb6yc9qe9m]

We have the ‘tree cake’ here in Luxembourg too where it’s traditionally eaten at weddings. I’m a Brit who married a Luxembourger and we had one flown into London for our nuptials where due to its size, it had its own seat on the plane!

[@jeninaslicer352]

Figment better work that meet n greet like the rent is due!😂

[@zacharyeversole]

They NEED to update soarin. Soarin’ over California is soooooooo much better. First time I went to Disneyland they were playing it and I loved it so much. No bendy Eiffel Tower, and that orange smell. Perfection. They can do this. Also seems very cost effective to film something and effectively have a new ride without having to actually do any construction or have any/ minimal downtime.

[@michaelschroeck2254]

Personal opinion: they need to stop with the virtual queues. If I’m paying $110 to get into a park I should be able to get on a certain ride. Especially if I have travelled hundreds to thousands of miles to go there.

[@MC-nb6jx]

Agree 100% it’s just “another” thing to strip the magic out 😡

[@EnzaDam]

Agree! Maybe have a few virtual cues slots so you can “win” a return time but otherwise you have standby.

The Foxy Scientist is my FAVE Spaceship Earth character! I dressed as her for MNSSHP last year. 😁

Molly, YOUR pronunciation of Baumkuchen was correct first time! 😀 The internet was wrong! I lived in Germany for a year and did my degree in it and much Kuchen was sampled in that time!! 🤣😋😋😋 I adore your vids, it’s like an escape from the rainy UK trip to sunny Florida every time!!

[@PotterFreak22]

I am not a morning person either. Ever. Getting up before 10am is way too early for me. The only possible things I will get up that early for are LEGOs, possibly my birthday, probably Christmas like we’ve always done and maybe something else. I just don’t like getting up early, mainly probably because I don’t really sleep that well or that early most nights (chronic pain gang shout out here) and I can’t get my brain to sleep until like 2am at the earliest. Last night was 5am but there were different circumstances happening. I don’t feel like I need to go to Disney after watching all the MamFam videos, already feels like I’ve been there multiple times despite never leaving my room. Those are the kinds of videos I like and we need more of. Very immersive, very laidback, very chill and informative.

[@kristenkrzepek3577]

Great video as usual Molly! I haven’t been to Epcot in 15 years and I am so excited to be there in Jan/Feb 2025. The view as you were walking in and seeing the big ball gleaming in the sunlight…amazing! Stopping for coffee….a must do for the best day ever. No regrets 😊❤️

[@marissathorne]

It’s the papyrus pounding guy or the computer lady for me 😂❤

[@mlou4444]

Just came back from Disney World and found of all the parks that Genie+ in EPCOT was by far the most stressful. Probably cause there’s just 3 big rides on Genie+ that everyone focuses on. We got Remy at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="420">7:00</a>am 🙏. But by 11am both Frozen and Test track were done for the day and never came back on. Believe me… I checked constantly. Luckily we used EE rope drop for Frozen. Test track broke twice when we were in the standby line. We eventually did single rider just so we could try it and I wish we did that earlier. Literally got on in a minute. Trying to wait in that standby line for Test Track was the longest wait we had for the entire week trip. Watching these kind of videos was SUCH a lifesaver. I knew what rides to rope drop or prioritize with Genie+. It would have been a very different day if I hadn't.

[@SabineRautenberg]

Your pronounciation of Baumkuchen was spot on BEFORE you asked your phone for help 😂😂😂

[@biggdogg1975]

I needed this today, thank you, Molly

[@mariamittelstaedt5930]

Thanks Miss Molly for a wonderful video!

[@gem4775]

When test track didn’t open as you predicted 👀. This is why I follow MAM Fam cuz you tell us what we could never learn on our own. of course I also love the adventures and fun challenge videos but the info cannot be beat

[@MichelleChipman]

Love to see this! Rope drop at Epcot is wild sometimes.

[@Coolguyjason]

Great video and i agree with the no running! For DCA, we stayed at Paradise Pier the week before it became Pixar Place officially in January. We got to use the new Pixar Place entrance, and that or Grand Californian for early morning time is a game changer. We rode Incredicoaster twice with our 6 year old, once for my wife and once for me! Got to do the rest of the pier without waiting more than 10 minutes tops a ride including Toy Story Mania and all!

[@mollyverduzco]

Just in time for our trip next week, I was hoping to see the Epcot one! We are planning to rope drop Remy from International Gateway so I'm trying to figure out how early we need to get there. Thanks for your helpful videos Molly!!

[@mollyverduzco]

Oh and it's "Bowm - koochen" , where the ch is like a cat hissing :)

[@joanneh4803]

Love luxuriating in Epcot! Would love to see a rope drop series at the California parks! Just sayin’ if you’re headed to Pixar Fest..

[@michaelcertain415]

For what it's worth, the first bus from Fort Wilderness to Epcot and the other parks leaves 75 minutes ahead of early entry, not 60. That's 105 minutes ahead of regular park opening, not 90. Each resort may be different, so I don't know if this is the case at others besides FW, but one bus driver told us he had to have the first bus to the Park no later than 60 minutes ahead of Early Entry. It may not seem like much, but 15 minutes makes a huge difference. Last year we were the only people on the bus most mornings, and were among the very first at the entrance. At Magic Kingdom we were on the rope for Early Entry looking back at a sea of people lining up. We walked on to Seven Dwarfs. We walked on to Rise of the Resistance at Hollywood Studios, Flight of Passage at Animal Kingdom and Frozen at Epcot.

[@DisneyBirdLady]

I keep forgetting about the Voices of Liberty!! That's on my list for my next trip to Epcot.

[@staceygoss4642]

Great PSA reminder Molly about being there to have fun!

Since none of us have kids (or take kids to theme parks regularly), we’re not very qualified to give such advice.😂😂 Recommend following wellhellomagic on instagram for great tips on going with littles!

[@amyabrey2504]

In regards to what Molly said about parents yelling at their kids, hopefully you know how you and your kids are in crowded and possibly stressful situations. I know me. That is why I waited until my kids were eight years old before I brought them. I knew that I could not personally deal with younger children in those situations. I can’t deal with Toddlers getting tired or having tantrums.

[@frostus27]

Not sure when you filmed this but we just rope dropped Epcot last week. Wish we could have seen you so we could say hello. Love you guys!

The cake reminds me of a local MD Eastern Shore speciality called Smith Island cake. It’s so interesting how similar food concepts pop up in different places. Cake = Science!

Swan and dolphin also gets the same perks including extended hours

Personally, my favorite in Spaceship Earth is Eisenhower with the Pharaoh 😂

[@ilisle3653]

The Baumkuchen is THE BEST sweet treat in Epcot. Simple, not too sweet. I’m not a coffee drinker but imagine it’s delish with coffee. Wish you didn’t have to wait in the Starbucks line to get it. I never order a drink, just the cake

[@karenc9739]
