A Practically Perfect Day at Epcot's 2023 Flower & Garden Festival with Genie Plus at Disney World

[@wellnow12]

Hi Rob Hello from the UK. It was great to see you on our Epcot visit on this day. My wife briefly appears at 15.24 in todays video. Ha. Thanks again for your information and advice to make our Disney day even better.

[@EarScouts]

That’s awesome - thanks so much for saying hello! So glad to hear you had a great day at Epcot. Thanks for watching! 😃

[@yeseniarivas8668]

Love the "put your foot in the door" technique 😉 Thanks!

It’s super helpful when you’re aiming for a tough-to-book ride. It has saved our bacon many times. 😂 Thanks for watching! 😃

I have to watch it once more to be sure I got it 😆😩

[@EarScouts]

@@glenpreece Thanks - hopefully it will help you book a tough ride next time you’re at the parks. 😃

[@EarScouts]

@@ellerose6835 It’s basically just like booking, only if the time is no longer available, you’ll tap out to go back and then tap back in again. Just don’t refresh the screen. Good luck! 🍀

[@rustybarrel516]

I hadn’t been to WDW since 2016, so this video was VERY helpful for our day at Epcot yesterday (a single park day that we tacked onto a cheer competition trip). Booked GOTG virtual queue and test track at 7:00. Got Remy for 7pm at 11:00. Got Frozen using the “Genie slots” (it was low priority for us, but wanted to try it). Rode all the rides we wanted to, ate some great food, saw some shows and performers, and left about 8:00. Thanks!

[@alexf7253]

Love the map graphics!! Great stuff.

[@EarScouts]

Thanks so much, Alex! We don’t usually do maps, but I feel like the Food Festivals don’t have good maps like the regular park attractions do, so it helps to orient things sometimes. Thanks for watching! 😃

[@jerryandgeetathomas1398]

Thank you for doing this video! The balance of seeing rides, enjoying the festival, food, and pavilions, and not going back and forth through the park was exactly what I was looking for! Also I appreciate you keeping it real that things can happen (rides breaking down and rides having no lightning lanes available/reruns times not being optimal). Your advice to be be patient and try a couple of strategies is so calming and helpful as folk having meltdowns that it isn’t a perfect day are never good! What do you think the crowd level was for that day? We’re going mid-May and touring plans is projecting it to be a crowd level of 6. I’m hoping we have a similarly perfect day as you! Thanks again!!

[@EarScouts]

Hi Jerry and Geeta! I always say that there’s only one truly predictable thing about a day at Disney World and that is that something unpredictable is bound to happen. 😂 Flexibility and keeping your eyes peeled for opportunities are the keys to having a stress-free day at the parks. We were filming this on March 5 and I would say the parks seemed about average that day. Not nearly as busy as they got at the peak of Spring Break madness, but not dead like they would be in mid January or September. Good luck on your perfect Epcot day and thanks for watching! 😃

I'm planning my first trip to Disney World in January 2024 (I'm a huge Disneyland fan) and I'm already going ham with planning because it's so fun! Your videos are really informative and entertaining and I've binged them all in a few days haha. I can't wait to watch all of the ones you publish before my trip! I'll be going on a runDisney weekend (and a few weekdays afterwards) and your videos have eased my anxiety about navigating lines and crowds on that weekend. Thank you! One video I'd love to see is insider tips about Disney transportation- that's the one area that is still making me nervous because of how unpredictable people say it is.

[@EarScouts]

Hello and thanks so much for watching all of our videos - we’re so glad you’ve been enjoying them. We had so much fun on our last trip to Disneyland. Can’t wait to visit again. Yes, transportation at WDW is definitely unpredictable. Especially the buses. They can come anywhere from one hour before early entry begins to as early as 2 hours before it begins (though that is rare). The monorail, boats and Skyliner are all a lot more predictable. They’ll typically start about and hour and 15 minutes before early park entry (though they can start as late as 1 hour before). The line can get long quickly on busy days, so I always aim for about an hour and thirty minutes before early entry for those when I want to be toward the front of the line at the park and I tend to shoot for the same time with the buses. Have fun planning - and then have even more fun when you’re here! 😃

Your videos keep getting better! The background music you chose, themed to each country, made watching this video even more immersive! Looks like the food at this festival was even better than at Food and Wine (you had lots of thumbs up). Tell us the truth - do the edible flowers taste good or are they just for show? I’m curious about the GotG return time - can’t you come back after your one hour window ends, or has that changed? Thanks for all of the tips and entertainment!

[@EarScouts]

Hi Meeshwell - thanks so much! We spent SO MANY HOURS on this video so I’m glad people are enjoying it. 😂 We haven’t heard of anyone having issues with late returns to GotG, but they are being VERY strict about TRON. Make sure you hit that Lightcycle/Run window while you’re here.

For what its worth I am at the parks this week. I am a group of 6 and right on the dot at 7 AM i scrolled down for Jungle Cruise lightning lane and the first timeslot I got was 10:30 AM. Had to completely switch my strategy to using lightning lanes all day to do all the easier type rides with no wait. Even Aladdin had a 30-40 minute wait in the late morning...

[@dianabadger2493]

This is so perfect! I wish I would have done this exact same thing, but I wore out my family by doing the strategy where you book the hard to get rides first and then doing the other rides. I'll just have to try this strategy on our next vacation.

[@EarScouts]

Hi Diana - well, that was definitely the safer strategy. There’s definitely more risk with the way we show it in this video, so maybe those extra steps were worth it. 😅 Thanks - as always - for watching! 😃

[@triton6127]

@@EarScouts Thanks so much! So my goal is to get in 3 rides on Guardians the day I arrive. One ILL, one daytime boarding group, and one boarding group with the extended evening hours. Problem is, I won't get to the Boardwalk until 4:30 or so. I can score the ILL and I shouldn't have a problem being in the park at 6 for the late boarding groups. Sadly I think my only option is to hope for a late boarding group at the 7am drop since I don't have to be on property. Do you think it's even possible? No one in my party will be able to be in Epcot before late afternoon so that's not an option. I know I'm just being greedy, but how cool would that be? Needless to say, If I only get two rides in that day, I'll be just fine 😅

Gah, I needed this video BEFORE we actually went to Epcot this spring! Oh man... now I feel like I missed out on so much. We were there the first week of April. Granted, we were with our two young kids and it was their first time, and their priorities are definitely different (and MUCH harder to do what you did while toting kids around). But I'm still wishing I had at least had that brie!!

[@wcamp2023]

Question: while you are modifying your reservation to try to get an earlier time, do you run the risk of losing the reservation altogether? Do you lose the reservation you had once you start modifying or will you be able to keep the spot you had if all the time slots are gone? Don't know if I want to risk keep refreshing for better time if I might lose it altogether

[@denny9121]

Rob, love all your videos with helpful hints about playing the Disney genie slots. We were there this week but we’re not able to get a return time early enough in the day to get the clock running. By 11am, many of the available lightning lane were pushed out to 7-8pm or later. I think this happened because it was spring break and peak season.

[@EarScouts]

Hi Denny! Sorry to hear you had a hard time getting good return times. Whenever it’s busy (and it has been crazy busy these past few weeks), it gets hard to book those key attractions later in the morning. I hope you were still able to enjoy your visit!

[@rebeccawilcox9574]

I just wanted to quickly thank you for your videos; they helped me plan my spring break trip with my friends. Since we're college students, we only did two days in the parks with genie + and park hopper (no ILLs) but we were able to do the following: Epcot: Remy, Guardians, Test Track, Soarin, Living with the Land, and Figment Magic Kingdom: People mover, Space Mountain (2x), Big Thunder (3x), 7 Dwarves Mine Train Animal Kingdom: Flight of Passage, Na'vi River Journey, Everest, Safari Hollywood Studios: Rise, Smugglers Run, Runaway Railway, Toy Story Mania (2x), and Star Tours (2x), ALSO had a closing reservation for Oga's Cantina Overall, it was amazing and we even did stuff like walk through the topiary, watch parades, and leisurely stroll through the world showcase. Two of my friends had previous bad experiences at Disney with lines and were both super impressed with how much we were able to do and experience, especially given how crazy busy it was. Thank you for all you do!

Hi Melanie! We are planning to do a “No Genie? No Problem!” video for each of the parks. We’ll probably film the next one this weekend, though it will take a little while to edit. Filming is easy - the editing is the hard part. 😂😅 Thanks for the suggestion - it helps a lot to hear what people are interested in seeing! 👍

[@msexton1976]

Your videos are great and very informative! Thank you for being so thorough. I have a video request/idea: How early do I need to get to each park to be towards the front of the rope drop crowd? If we are in the front how many rides can we do before the lines fill up?

[@EarScouts]

Hi Missy! We always try to show what the crowds look like at random times when we do early entry videos (we have one for each park so far). It depends a lot on the time of year and how busy the parks are. The same with how long it takes for lines to get longer. This morning, I was able to do Big Thunder, Haunted Mansion, Peter Pans Flight, Small World and Space Mountain before I the crowds got busy and I didn’t even have early entry. Last weekend, it likely would have been busy by the time I got to Peter Pan. Your best bet is always to be as early as possible and try not to stop riding until you see the times creep up, then switch gears to smaller attractions, shows and shopping with an occasional big ride when the opportunity arises. Hope you have a great trip and thanks for watching!

[@EarScouts]

Hi Javonda! So glad you found this one helpful - especially since your trip is right around the corner - yay! I totally expected Guardians to drop the virtual queue when TRON opens, but according to Cast Members, they are keeping it for the foreseeable future. Apparently the concern is queue management because there is not enough space for how long the queue would likely go if it was opened up to all who wished to join. That said, I don’t think that will change in the near future, so probably they will end up doing what they do with Flight of Passage in Animal Kingdom - having a line that goes all the way to Africa. 😂 Thanks for watching! 😃

Thanks for all the great info, Rob! I learn so much from every single video. We are going in May with two under the age of 4, & your videos have made me so much more confident we can do all the things they want without stressing! I do have one question- how did the process work when you had frozen LL booked but then saw one pop up for Remy (I think this was the part where you talked about “getting your foot in the door”) could you see the Remy return time even though you had just booked frozen? Did you have to cancel your frozen LL quick and then snag Remy? Or had 2 hours passed? Just trying to figure out the logistics behind when you book one ride and then seen a better time for another instead

[@EarScouts]

Hi Molly! I have great news for you - it is now possible to “modify” a Lightning Lane (which is what you saw us doing there). Until you choose a ride to replace it (which we did with Remy) you can keep your existing Lightning Lane. It’s basically risk free. You keep the one you have unless you find something you like better. We go through this modify step by step in this video, so you might want to check it out before you leave: kzbin.info/www/bejne/laStk5J-hMRlp6s Hope you have an amazing trip! Thanks for watching! 😃

[@LavaswimmerTakeTwo]

It's funny how many times I've heard you say "It's not really worth memorizing which rides have two touchpoints" I want to memorize them dang it😂😂😂 Also, I had a question: Is there a reason you don't talk about Individual Lightning Lanes much in these videos? I get it during the specific Genie+ tips videos because they don't come with Genie+, but I figured an ILL might help out in a "Practically Perfect Day", especially compared to the virtual queue, because you can pick your return time! Just wondering! Love the videos, only complaint is that I wish you made more :)

[@EarScouts]

😂🤣😂 - I’m in these parks 3 or more times a week and I still haven’t memorized all of them. 😅 I always find a great time and then I’m like “oh yeah - can’t book yet…” The main reason I don’t do Individual Attraction Lightning Lanes is just because they’re expensive and I prefer to wait and ride at the end of the day. That said, I just filmed a new video with “all the bells and whistles” - we did early entry, Genie Plus and an Individual Attraction Lightning Lane for Rise. If it does well, we may make more. It kinda felt like overkill, TBH - we were done with everything by lunch and most of the biggest rides in the first hour or so. It can be great if you’re park hopping, though. It’s amazing how quickly you can check all your boxes when you have all the perks. I wish I could make more videos, but this is basically my second full-time job and the other one really pays the bills. 😂 Maybe one day we could do this full-time and then we’d make a lot more. Thanks for watching! 😃

[@LavaswimmerTakeTwo]

@@EarScouts Ah, that makes sense!! Looking forward to the bells and whistles video - even if it seems like overkill, honestly I think it'll still be a nice reminder to people that if they really want to, you CAN do all the rides you want to in a day.

I'm planning a trip to WDW for July/August and trying to figure out all this Genie+ stuff. I'm a little confused how you booked Frozen and then Remy? Did I miss something with the stacking? Thanks!

[@EarScouts]

I’m going to need to go back and rewatch this to know, but if I had booked Frozen a lot earlier in the day (which is likely), then waited the two hours and booked something else, I would be able to book Remy after tapping in at whatever that latest ride was, even if I hadn’t ridden Frozen yet. Does that possibly answer the question? 😅 If not, I’ll go rewatch when I have a sec and let you know.

[@ellerose6835]

Epcot is my first choice for the festivals. Going to buy gift cards just for the food budget (sounds insane… I know) but not sure how much to budget specifically for the festival. I saw another channel budget $100 but they had to sacrifice a bit. What’s a realistic, not gluttonous but satisfying budget?

[@EarScouts]

Hi Elle - that’s a tough one. I think if you are planning to only eat festival food for the day and not drink a lot of alcohol, probably $75 per person would give you a great day where you’ll feel full and not like you had to skip too much. That would get you approximately 10 items per person. Even better, though - check the menus. We show them all here with prices. Make a list of the things you want to try. All the prices include tax, which makes it even easier to budget. Hope you guys have an amazing day at the festival and thanks for watching! 😃

[@swetahin]

Hi Rob, if we want to book 2 things at 7am on 2 phones (eg Remy and VQ for guardians), would you recommend using the same Disney account on two separate phones? Or each person uses their own Disney account and they are linked to each other?

Hi Sweta! The best method is to use two accounts that are both linked to everyone in the party. If you have a hard time getting things set up correctly, though, using the same account works in a pinch. Thanks for watching! 😃

So when you get a genie plus ride and then you want to modify it with the three little dots is that when you start playing the slots to try and move the time or is that going to actually knock you out of the ride?

[@EarScouts]

Hi Debbie - yes, I now always play the slots using the modify method. It will only cause you to lose the currently booked ride if you confirm the new one. It’s basically a risk-free way to see if you can get something better. Thanks for watching! 😃

This is Craig Dennis i watch your new videos all the time i in joy all of your videos all the time what is your favorite rides at Epcot have a nice safe day today👍👍👍👍👍

[@EarScouts]

Hi Craig - always good to hear from you. 😃 I think my top 3 rides at Epcot are Guardians, Soarin’ and Remy - but I also really love the Gran Fiesta Tour in Mexico because it reminds me of past vacations there and the animatronics at the end are so cute. Which are your favorites? Thanks - as alway - for watching! 😃

I couldn't clearly understand the booking of the genie pass. I am going with a group so one of us look for Guardians of the Galaxy and the other looks for (our important ride) ratatouille? How are we all able to get on the rides at the same time if it's under 2 different ppl?

[@EarScouts]

Hi Cindy! You will link everyone together in the app. It’s a good idea to do that before your vacation. Go to My Profile > Friends and Family tab to link everyone up. Once you can all see each other, you should also be able to make plans for each other, including Genie Plus Lightning Lanes and Virtual Boarding Groups. Hope that helps and thanks for watching! 😃

What park is the best for a late arrival and stacking ride reservations instead of rope dropping?

[@EarScouts]

Hi Beth! I would say Magic Kingdom since it typically closes the latest and has the most rides. Thanks for watching! 😃

[@AmeliaZickus-wb6kp]

Hey Rob! I saw you today at Disney, what are your best tips for get to ride on tron for beginners?

[@EarScouts]

Hi Amelia! Thanks for saying hello. It really hasn’t changed much from the virtual queue for Guardians of the Galaxy. If you watch that video, the same advice would apply. You can check it out here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f2atind3d7J5b9k Thanks for watching! 😃

Can you show us how to have a perfect day when it rains all day? Last time i went it was a hurricane last Nov and it did not stop raining for any day. 😢

[@EarScouts]

I’m so sad to hear you had a hurricane-cation. 🙁 That was not a fun week to be here. It’s funny you should suggest this because we were planning to do this idea a while back. The forecast was thunderstorms all day long. We packed our gear and were all ready for our rainy day in the park…and there was no rain. 😂 Every hour, it said the storm was coming in the next hour. We finally gave up, went home and never tried again. We’ll put it back on the to-do list, though. Thanks for the suggestion! 👍

29:56 🤣

[@EarScouts]

Yes - I really wish I had a different take of that so I could have cut this clip since she clearly wasn’t pumped to be in the background. I didn’t notice it until I was editing. 😅

[@jagmaida5074]

If you are alone why don't you just use the single rider line for test track? Last time I went the wait time was 50 min and there were 3 people in front of me in the single rider line. it may have taken me more than 5 because I didn't rush but closer to 5 than 50

[@jagmaida5074]

thanks for the tip about refreshing by clicking the ride I think that will help a lot.

[@EarScouts]

Hi Jag! I don’t typically use the single rider in my videos because lots of viewers wouldn’t want to split up their family. I use them a lot personally and have done Test Track multiple times that way, but my goal is always to try to simulate what a family or group of friends might do on a visit together. I agree, though - single rider is often a great option. Thanks for watching! 😃

If anyone can help me understand, I would appreciate it. I am completely confused..... I tried commenting on every video but nobody comments back with the help
