How to Ride TRON at Disney World: Booking Virtual Boarding Groups & Lightning Lanes at Magic Kingdom

[@Giovanni_Palladino]

Rob, the amount of research that goes into preparing your vlogs are beyond impressive! As always thank you for your insight!

[@uik99]

No one else on KZbin gives such a detailed explanation for newbies and even people who think they know how to work Disney. Channel keeps growing!! 👍

[@lavenderkisses9461]

Your competition game at Disney is unmatched. I am here for it!!

[@a-land-of-shadow-and-substance]

Thank you so much for the detailed tutorial! Thanks to this, I got boarding passes EVERY day I was eligible. I literally only missed one 7am draw for Tron (on a busy weekend), and even then easily got the 1pm draw that same day. The fact that you actually show your screen rather than just describing what to do really helped. It made our vacation SO much easier!

[@smackthat00]

I love your videos! We went in February for the first time in 10 years and I religiously watched all your videos and followed every tip and it made our trip AMAZING! We never waited more than 10 mins for anything in every park and did every ride we wanted to! My husband was thrilled and my 4 and 6 year olds had the best time and I have you to credit for a lot of that!! Thanks for all you do!!

[@yc591]

Incredible educational video. I was trying to find your bio to see if you are/were an educator. You truly have a gift! I'm a regular viewer of many Disney vlogs, and this is the most comprehensive, clear instructional tutorial out there right now. You have made me a fan. I'll keep coming back for more content.

[@DeniseArsenault-xj1ht]

I also thought that he would be a great educator!

[@aronstarosta6854]

This step by step thing is great! Keep it up!

[@EarScouts]

Thanks for watching! 😃

[@pmsissues]

I see all these people commenting and I have to add to it: your videos made our Disney trip during Spring Break (Mar. 19-25) practically perfect. We did five days, all four parks (MK twice) with kids aged 3 and 8. Not only did we do everything we wanted and more, but our longest line the entire trip was 20 minutes--for Winnie the Pooh of all things! The modify lightning lane idea saved us literally hours of waiting and miles of walking (though we did walk 50 miles in those five park days!!) The crown was modifying a 6:45pm Frozen LL (best I could get after riding Remy at 10:30am) down to 11:45am while waiting for crepes, giving us time to grab lunch before our Cosmic Rewind LL (and I forgot to do the 1:00pm VQ, but still managed to snag one at 2:00pm for after dinner! And I guess THAT was our longest line (about an hour) but it was worth it to ride it again!). Anyway, you have no idea how much you impacted our trip and for that you have my deepest thanks. Keep up the great work, I'll recommend your channel to anyone taking a trip. (We rode Tron twice!!)

[@CarolCap131]

Thank you so much for your usual thorough coverage. I’m new to your channel but I’m already a big fan. Your unique coverage of doing genie with larger groups was crucial for my granddaughter when she did a once in a lifetime high school graduation trip with a group of 8. Thank you, thank you, thank you! She wasn’t able to get tron for the group since they were not staying in a Disney hotel but I look forward to using your advice for a future trip. I was surprised to hear you have to already be in MK when you try for an extra hours virtual queue for tron since I didn’t think that was the case for guardians at Epcot? Already looking forward to your next post.

[@suzanneborton]

I was there the next day (4/5)- we failed at the 7am VQ but bought an ILL then snagged the 1:00 VQ! Ended up riding those back to back at night, was so cool in the dark! Walked off as the fireworks were starting, pretty magical! Our trip was great and my teen and I loved playing the genie slots to modify our LLs! You’d be proud 😊

[@cathinieto39]

I just want to leave a quick comment on how GREAT your vlogs are. Thank you! Your step by step how to use genie+ and now this one about tron are the best I have seen. Love you!

[@SarahLee-lj6jx]

Hi Rob we are a family of 4 from the Uk just returning from an amazing 2-week first Disney world trip! I watched your videos before we left and I just wanted to say THANK YOU SO MUCH for all your tips and advice about the parks and the intricacies of Genie plus. Your advice was really really helpful and accurate, right down to playing the genie slots, it totally worked! Take care, Sarah

[@EarScouts]

Awesome - so glad to hear you had a great trip, Sarah! Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to let us know how your trip went - we really appreciate it! 😃

[@mcakilesoon]

Hey Rob! It’s your new friends from Pittsburgh Pa! (Akil & Melanie) It was great seeing you there at the park! Thank you for being so kind and sharing the scoop on how to do Disney the right way! P.s. Tron was AWESOME!!! Ear Scouts for Life!

[@Ricky_V]

I got to ride Tron Wednesday using all the tips from your previous videos. Thank you so much!!! We rode everything in 3 parks in 3 days. Thank you thank you thank you!!

[@rachaelbaker6864]

It was so nice to see you as my husband and I were leaving Tron!! Thank you for all your great tips and helping us learn about Genie Plus!!

[@jessiegcmu]

Thank you! I’m a visual learner and your videos are the best to help me actually understand everything Disney! ❤❤

[@jenniferhirjak2860]

I love that you always give your reasoning why you are doing things! That helps my brain understand so much better!

[@christinanewman1542]

I loooove ear scout videos! I’m not even going back to WDW until October (which we all know things will change and new videos will have to be made) but I still watch every video. I love his content and delivery.

[@aealewel1]

This is so helpful! Love your videos. Thank you!

[@cruellad407]

Great video. Your directions are excellent.

[@sandraandrea9]

You don't know how your videos are helping me planning my vacation with my family to Disney Word. Thank you so much for your excelent videos with some many tips, you are the best!

[@richupton7892]

The best guide I have seen by far on how to use the genie service for booking lightning lanes and virtual queues clealry explained in a logical sequence with really useful screenshots. I didnt know how to use the Tip Board to prioritise ride selections like that either, Many Thanks!

[@carend7010]

You are so fun. Your delivery and videos hold my ADHD interest and are so informative. I hope I see you when I go to the park so I can thank you in person. You rock Rob!

[@EarScouts]

Wow - thanks so much, Caren. I’m very flattered. 😊 Hopefully our paths will cross. Hope you have an amazing time at the parks!

[@amancalledjason]

SUCCESS!! Followed your tips to a T and we got Group 20 AND Individual Lightning Lane for 8:30pm-9:30pm! Thank you!

[@mjsm5245]

did u try it at 7am or the 1pm

[@louisegoose5794]

We just returned to the UK after our long awaiting WDW visit, and Rob, sir, you are a legend. I really hoped to see you in one park as you have been so helpful in our preparation for this (expensive) trip, I really think you helped us get the most out of it. We won't be able to come again now for a good few years, but I'll keep watching as I'm a little addicted to your channel.

[@juliajacober5052]

You are so kind for sharing these tips, I just want to be your Disney friend! Thanks for the videos!

[@javondashoffner-collins540]

I navigated Hollywood Studios like a pro yesterday (using Genie Plus), thanks to your videos. Thanks for all you do!

[@PaulaKBainbridge]

Thanks to your tips on getting virtual boarding groups via mobile data rather than using the Disney WiFi we were successful each morning and got Tron two mornings and Guardians two mornings. Got group 3 and group 5 on two occasions - latest group was 63 for Tron on one of the days, (and that was refreshing on WiFi from 6.59am) so I think without your tips we definitely would have missed out.. I have enjoyed watching your videos while preparing for the trip, they have been very helpful, thank you. Love your enthusiasm x

[@Ksp131313]

Your videos have answered so many questions and have me so well prepped. We leave in 12 days. Im hoping you post more about the changes coming to genie plus soon!

[@EarScouts]

We’ll have a video up asap! Thanks for watching! 😃

[@princessmadalynn]

I already got into the Tron 1pm virtual queue on Thursday. But going back tomorrow and watching this to prepare

[@rogerleikness9883]

Was there for Tron last week, used your virtual queue tips, snagged ride for my son and I, his favorite. I loved Guardians ride a bit more but it is a great ride

[@user-fl7cd6jm8x]

Hey Rob I just want to say a big thank you for your tips on how to prepare and to get the virtual queue slot. I did it 3 times for TRON and Guidian Galaxy and got 3/3 success rate. Thank you so much and both of the rides were amazing!! xx

[@annabelladj]

Hi! It was a pleasure meeting you at the TRON ramp opening day. We love your videos and we were so excited to see you at the park. Remember I asked you about which area is the best for phone 5g. I think you have better carrier with Verizon. My ATT is just horrible at the parks. I asked cast members too and they told me to definitely stay away from Tomorrowland and better off at fantasyland if you are trying for the 1pm VQ. I had a better connection at our Disney resort in the mornings. As I told you I was returning to MK on Friday and I was able to then get a VQ at 7am for boarding group 58 and I bought a LL for nighttime ride. So much fun. We really like TRON but nothing compared to guardians of the galaxy that one still our number one ride at Disney. Hopefully we will see you another time at the parks. Keep making amazing videos!!

Thank you for the tips and view comparison. Will be there next week and feel super prepared for multiple rides on Tron.

[@SaraL-xm1xz]

Hi Rob! Thank you so much for all of your thorough videos they were so helpful!! We just got back from our trip. We were there the week before Easter. We skipped MK on the 4th and went on the 5th and 6th. Scored Virtual queues for Tron both mornings!! But the best thing was when we left our hotel room at PO French Quarter on the 4th, opening day for Tron, we saw you filming a video in the court yard right outside our building. Too funny!! All your tips allowed for us to have an enjoyable time ride every ride and see every show we wanted to do during the busiest week of the year yet! We had a few moments of crazy long lines for things we couldn’t get Genie + for, but in the grand scheme of things it was not too bad.

[@weaseljavelin9443]

This is Craig Dennis did you had a nice Easter me and my mom and my dad had a nice relaxing Easter i watch your new videos all the time you have a nice safe day today 👍👍👍👍👍

Thanks so much, Craig! I'm glad to hear you had a great Easter with your family. Mine was really fun - I spent it making a video in Animal Kingdom. We're planning to have it uploaded as soon as we can and hopefully you will enjoy it! Thanks for all your awesome comments and for always being one of the first people to check out our new videos.

We got boarding group 52 using your tips for Tron virtual queue! Thank you so much! Great ride, wish it was longer!

Nicely done! 🙌 And I agree on the length. It’s my biggest issue with this ride. Especially when it inevitably has a 2 hour standby queue. 😅

My favorite ride specific drink is the Tron blue Frappe! It was the best!

You helped us nail a slot on our first try! Thank you!

Thank you again Rob for the tips and great video. You are my GO TO for how to get around the Disney parks! I watched your videos prior to my trip in the Fall with my son, and now planning another trip with my daughter & her friend! Can't wait to try out the new TRON ride. Oh, and my son and I rode GOG ride twice in a day when we were there and LOVED IT! Definitely my new favorite. Keep up the great work. ~ Tracey

I seen you yesterday in the Disney Store at Disney Springs I didn’t want to bother you in case you were recording but here is a thank you for the videos

[@chrisf6477]

Thank you! This video was excellent. We werent sure about the magical 3 in one day Tron, so I appreciated that tip. Staying in Poly in August and we r going to try for that.

[@benthornes3526]

Hi Rob, we were at Disney from the end of March to early April which meant we got the soft opening and the first few days of the official opening. I watched your VQ tips for Guardians in preparation for this ride, and I'm thrilled to say we got the 7am VQ with a 100% hit rate on both Tron & GOG (3 & 2 respectively). That was off site and on hotel WiFi too. So your tips are certainly working. We had a great time too using the genie+ on various days. Thanks!

[@EarScouts]

Hi Ben - so glad to hear everything went well for your vacation! Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to let us know how your trip went - we really appreciate it! 😃

We were so lucky, our first time in Magic Kingdon at Abril 4, We were able to reserve the lighting lane for tron at 1:00 pm, I was so despertated trying to get my full wi-fi signal inside the park, Ear Scouts is the best, He knows how to do it.!!

So so helpful Rob. First time ever at Disneyworld this coming weekend and going to Magic Kingdom on Sunday! Also didn't know that you needed to have tapped in at some for the extended evening hours boarding groups to be available!

[@MelissaCruz-uq9hd]

Rob, you are the best! I normally don't comment on videos but wanted to give you kudos for a job well done on this channel. Your videos were so helpful in planning our trip to Disney World over spring break! It was a little stressful as Genie plus sold out every day that we were there but since we were up late anyway I purchased them at midnight just in case lol! Because of your tips we got to ride EVERYTHING we wanted (except for Slinky and Remy which were down 😢 and we had a tired Kindergartner). Otherwise it was a fantastic trip and we have you to thank!

[@GraeDesmond]

Was good to meet you last week at French Quarter. I see what you mean now about the back seats. I didn't ride again but will shoot for those next time I am down. Using your tips we pulled off five Genie+ reservations Sunday at MK and another six reservations Thursday at MK. Had two more Thursday after the fireworks but my daughters were out of gas so we let them go. Thanks for all the videos, they helped a ton.

This was such great content. So thorough. Answered all my questions. Thank you!!!

[@EarScouts]

Good luck, Jennifer! We can't wait to hear how everything goes. 🤞

[@Disney_Jen]

I am staying off property so basically my only shot to get on Tron is with the virtual queue. I’m getting anxious about it even though I already know how to check in from doing guardians! 😂

[@Disney_Jen]

UPDATE! We went yesterday to Magic Kingdom and stayed off property. I was not able to get the 7am VQ but I did get the 1pm VQ and got group 89, which was called back around 4:00. Also was able to score a LL at park open and selected a much later time so we did get to ride it twice, once in day and night. I’m pretty sure I saw you when we were leaving Tron going down the ramp around 10:00 or so! We hit up space mountain after and then a few fantasy land rides before the park closed. Thanks so much for the great advice, everything went as I had hoped! I was glad I didn’t get to miss riding it this trip. My only complaint is that the actual ride time feels so short, I think it was only about a minute long… wish it was longer like guardians, but it was fast and fun!

[@kevn3097]

@@Disney_Jen thanks for the update Jennifer! I have a group of 10 going to magic kingdom! I have a couple questions, did you go to magic kingdom at exact opening time? And were you able to do everything you wanted too? We want to ride majority of the rides and such but we’re not sure if we should go when the doors open?

[@MUFC1311]

I am lucky enough (or unlucky, depending on how you view it) to have a DAS pass, but we were also required to snag a 7:00am group (which we did). It’s so worth it and is an absolutely stunning experience.

👋 we just had our first successful trip to Disney this past week thanks to the Ear Scouts.. I'd watch the video for the park we were visiting the day prior and make a strategic plan.... 1 quick tip we were lucky to get in the virtual cue for Tron... you may wanna add the tip for anyone not using a magic band.... like us as we are not frequent goers so the price wasn't worth it... but for Tron lockers if you don't have a magic band you'll need to get a card from the cast member to put your things in the locker.... 😊

[@stevenswan3642]

Just went Wednesday. Kids loved the ride. Was able to ride 3x and would like to keep riding. It is a quick ride, as a group I think because of this we preferred guardian of galaxy because ride is longer.

[@EarScouts]

Hi Steven - we completely agree. It’s a fun ride, but too quick. It’s too bad Guardians came first because it’s hard for this one to compete with how great that ride is. Thanks for watching! 😃

[@kennycapes]

Hi Ear Scout, Firstly, best Disney KZbin channel by far. we are staying French Quarter for our first onsite visit. If you wanted to use early park hours from there would you say the buses start early enough to get a good spot. You recommend in videos about getting there early for "early hours", but i'm worried the buses only start 45 mins before and so it will be busy already. What is your experience so far. Just watched your Epcot one and you were right at the front of early park hours. Thats what i want to plan to do, get there early.

[@AIAutomationSuccess]

Great info. Seems like this level of competition to get on a really short ride feels like a lot of work. Going to Disney is supposed to be vacation. Just doesn't seem worth all the hassle.
