FUN FACT! When Molly was up at Rafikis Planet Watch, the goat she saw passing her was Sven the Nigerian Dwarf Goat and one of my coworkers! I usually go on walks with them! Crazy that if I did, I would've been able to meet Molly!

[@michaelwarrick3053]

In a world of ever changing Genie+, we have Molly.

[@heidibrown3854]

Molly’s hair reminds me when she changed it to pink for Galactic Starcruiser….. did Alan get to go on a dream vacation?

[@andreagillette1652]

Yep he did! With Max too. 😁💚

[@AJeter0517]

Love this series! Happy 1st anniversary Mammoth Club 🎉🦣

[@heatherframpton3669]

Love the math calculations. Video idea: would love for you to do this at Universal with the express pass...comparing directly the wait time to express line time! Congrats on the one year anniversary 🥳

[@mike9147]

Express pass is wonderful. You are not on any time frame! Genie is the worst :(

[@MrGibbo9876]

​@@mike9147price is comparable though. For 5x the cost id expect universals to be more convenient. Genie+ is good if you know how to maximize it

[@KevinGrahamArt]

As a Disney artist myself I think you did a great job on thumper

[@janehynes8319]

As watching Cheers Ears Q and A it was asked what vlogs do they watch. They said they watch you especially for Genie Plus! She said you explain it the best and she feels equipped for their next trip!!!

[@user-xe3xw3pv8z]

One additional thought on a video would be a final “Is it worth it video” that wraps up all your findings from the individual challenges. While I love watching each one, I think it would be nice to have a final video that has all the information in one place. I could see that be really useful as a quick watch right before leaving for a trip!

[@InfectiousGroovePodcast]

I'm going back to the Magic Kingdom in January for the first time in 20+ years. I'm going to keep up on every bit of news for that park between now and then!

[@alexandramacias6385]

Went on a spontaneous weekend trip to AK for my AP magnets and we stopped at the tippy top of Everest (8:02). Coolest evac ever! (Not remotely related to this video's topic, but 14 flights of stairs later, i feel like i deserve an "I survived Expedition Everest" shirt).

[@marcschubert139]

Molly, the hero we all need in regards to all things Genie+. Coming down in October and this series with the updates are a life saver. Have no idea why Disney purposely makes things this difficult and confusing. I miss #fiddlefaddle. Also Happy 1 year anniversary 🎉🎉

[@manda.pandamonium]

I gifted myself a solo birthday trip back in March. When I did the Animation Experience we drew Bambi and mine was terrrriblllle 😂 As I was walking out, the artist saw my birthday button and gave me his Bambi! 🥹 It was so sweet and one of the highlights of my trip! I call the pair "the before and after rope drop to close" (mine being the after ofc) 🙂🙃🙂🙃

[@susanwhitebritton4629]

Hi Molly! I visited Disney's Animal Kingdom last week and it is now my favorite Disney park! The safari was wonderful and unbelievably awesome! To be that up close and personal with the animal was exciting and felt just like I was on a real African Safari! I did purchase the Genie+ and it was worth it! We used it for Na'vi River Journey, which had an 75 minute wait, but we did a lightning lane and we booked it for 1:20 and we walked right in and got on in no time flat! Thank you so much for the tips and tricks! Btw...I did do the "fiddle faddle"...it works! 😂😂 Me and the hubby enjoyed our day so much!!! Can't wait to go back!

[@chinalee-mn4vy]

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY MAMFAM 🎉🎉🎉💜 Love the knowledge I've acquired from watching your videos!!! Thanks Molly, Alan and Max!!!🥳💜

[@marilynm5024]

I love these videos! Also love your hair color!!! The information you share is so helpful.

[@loganbrumit6727]

Fun fact: they have a raven named logan and he is trained to be mischievous and pick up bottles and put in trash

[@laurafewell2301]

Loving this series! You have the best advice ever. I would love to see an episode with just 2 parks but also one with all four parks! All the series you come up with are so original and truly help to make our days better in the parks!

[@thisisemrytrying]

Awesome video, Molly! And happy anniversary MAM fam!!!!

[@megangeorge9257]

I think for the Hopper episode you should pick all or the top three worth it attractions in each park. Think of it as if someone was only going to WDW for one day, what would they want to do the most in each park. ❤

[@stacirobinson6162]

I love doing LL because it is easier when I go with my dad. I just feel a little bad because he walks slow. So i try to keep us to the side so the fast walkers can walk past us. Genie is worth it to us. Thanks for doing all of these videos, they have been helpful since day 1!

[@jimgross1596]

Ke Huy Quan plays a Cryptozoologist who everyone thinks is crazy until an expedition goes missing and the Yeti may be to blame. A famous British Explorer (and member of the Society of Explorers and Adventurers) Played by Jason (Lucius Malfoy) Isaacs enlists Quan to go on a perilous mission to find the missing expedition and maybe the lost treasure of everest.

[@heathern7356]

An Expedition Everest movie would be amazing! My vote is for Ryan Reynolds and Tom Holland to be taken on the expedition!

[@amygold7918]

Ryan Reynolds and a child actor maybe. Maybe his fiance's son as a bonding experience gone wrong. Love this!!!🎉

[@pcork67]

I have been talking to my family about the need for an Expedition Everest live-action movie for years, Molly!

[@lydiaruth7259]

Video request: could you do a video of some kind showing the best spots to take breaks in each of the parks? My toddler has special needs and we want to build in some quieter spaces for her to snack or decompress for a few minutes

[@goddessphantom]

I want to see the park hopper video be multiple videos - such as hopping from Epcot to MK... etc. Just focusing on two parks at a time, as most of us would not be running to all four parks and doing only one or two attractions. However I think the all four parks genie day would be a good challenge video. 😁

[@Mammoth_Club]

We have quite a few double park-combo days already in our Genie+ playlist that should be helpful -- and we'll continue to make more! The final video of this series will be all 4 parks as a fun challenge (just like these have all been challenges :) )

[@bridgetclement2968]

​@Mammoth_Club SO park hopper genie plus covers multiple parks? Like doing AK and DHS in same day

[@JohnJones-ue4lx]

Thank you for these Genie+ videos! Very informative and entertaining! And that hair!

[@Tinable]

I am appreciating this series. I am headed to the parks in November. I feel way better about my trip by watching these videos. I have become a huge fan of Mammoth Club. Great videos and so fun to watch.

[@kathrynwiessinger7077]

Happy Anniversary 🦣 💕 💙 Expedition Everest movie would be awesome! Would love to see Simu Liu and Karen Gillan cast (with a Joe Rohde cameo)!

[@laurasponaugle9637]

I like the idea of Jason Mamoa from your other video to star in an Expedition Everest Movie. ****Also another shameless plug to have you and Alan do a gluten free challenge in the parks.

[@mathwithlugar6558]

Aaahhh I saw myself! It was so nice to meet you that day Molly!

[@f33rcetv34]

id love to see you do an updated Newbie video Im from Australia and have NEVER stepped foot in a Disney park... half of it seems so overwhelming- How does it all work? How much money do i need to save to have an enjoyable time? would love to see a video from that perspective, with your recommendations on how to spend your time and money at Disney

[@christinawoods3062]

Your videos are super helpful! I love that you don’t preach rope dropping as that is not for everyone. I also love AK. It’s the only park we do every time we come. More of a universal person myself. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and expertise.

[@samantharobertson7550]

Love the price breakdowns! One of my favorite things is to feel like I’m walking with you in the parks with the b roll of sorts when you are walking around. I missed that during your walk from Navi Journey to Festival of the Lion King and that lovely path by the water. I appreciate glimpses of what your talking about some times but would’ve rather seen the walk over the other stuff.

[@somibonne1716]

Happy anniversary love your videos ❤️

[@rhondageddis526]

Molly, I love how every time you ride, your level of enthusiasm never wanes. You are equally excited today about Everest as you were last week.

[@jennscott6858]

11:38 I loved Tarzan Rocks! I miss that show.

[@-Bert-]

I'll be down the week of September 10th and can't wait. Thanks for always keeping us prepared, MAM!

[@donahall6618]

Hi, Molly Watched your videos along time. Love your work and since I'm a local I hope to run into you one day to say hi and tell you in person how awsome you are. Keep up the great work! Happy Anniversary 🎉❤😊 Thanks!!!

[@audreycranford5500]

Awww Molly ... I love those ears!! 🦁

[@The_Alexandra_B]

Good morning, Mam Fam! Had a great time at the twitch awards last night. 🎉

[@kristieabrantes1658]

Park #3! This is going to be amazing!! ❤

[@koolaid3816]

Just booked a trip, knew where I had to check. Mammoth Club!

[@frankiemoi]

Great video,Molly! I have not had to use Genie + yet due to us always using a DAS pass. This November will be my first time using it. We plan to do a hopper one day starting at MK, hopping to AK and back to MK to close out the night. I also plan to use the Minnie van so we can maximize our time. Our main hits at MK will be Crystal Palace for breakfast, Seven Dwarves Mine Train, Philharmagic, Haunted Mansion, People Mover, Carousel of Progress, Tron, Space Mountain and Happily Ever After Dessert Party. Any other attractions will be a bonus since we will be at the Disneyland Resort in Dec. Oh, and… HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!! You’ve come so far in a year. Congrats! 🎉🎊 ❤

[@rhondageddis526]

Looking forward to park hopper episode. I love hitting all four parks in one day hitting the top rides and out of ordinary rides along with a nice snack. Can’t wait Molly.

[@cassandraboyer7068]

Great video thanks for sharing. Looks fun. I would get genie plus to save time. Definitely worth it. ❤

[@materesarodriguezliebana9590]

Why Molly is always so pretty in the parks, when I look all sweety, and wet and horrible in the heat of central Florida? You look amazing, but what I love more is the content, don't take me wrong. I ❤ Animal Kingdom, and all the wisdom you give to make the most of the time and money invested. Thank you! 😍

[@WDWBound]

I like the new camera! Very clear, good audio. A little more emphasis on things in focus (like Molly's face in the outro), overall a good change! Can I just add that looking at your battery life when fiddle-faddling stresses me out 😅😂

[@haleyross3846]

Loved everything about Tarzan Rocks! Agree with you 100%. And our family would be singing all of the Phil Collin’s songs from the movie/show out loud together for the rest of the day.

[@martym3890]

We're going in Sept and this my first time going as an adult and having to do all the planning and I feel so prepared to use genie + thanks to your videos!

[@heidik411]

OMG ! THE THUMBNAIL!! 😂😂😂 aka - 'for Science' ive had a morning from hell i did think anything could make me smile today let alone chuckle

[@FunAtDisney]

I’m sure Molly has mentioned this before, but the Simba float at Festival of the Lion King was originally part of a parade at Disneyland form way back in 1994 when the movie came out!

[@bridgetclement2968]

I Love MICKEY n Minnie at AK. We got the Cutest pic in 2017. My son fell asleep in Grandma's arms and Minnie posed saying SHHHH. The pic is ADORABLE

[@allisonhill9647]

I also LOVE Dinosaur!! Some of my very favorite ride pictures are of this ride bc of how terrified my kids are! It’s also so entertaining.

[@Mis_Madius89]

The end of It’s Tough To Be a Bug is what gets me… “honorary bugs remain seated to allow our roach and maggot friends to exit” or whatever they say, then the bumps under you… 🥴

[@eric3434]

Just what i want to do all day while im on vacation. Micro manage a phone app.

[@Bri-tktsbr16]

I agree on Jason Momoa for an Expedition Everest movie! LOVE the hair, Molly! 💙

[@LinNijoka87]

Dinosaur is DEFINITELY one of my top 10 favorite rides in WDW as well! Totally worth it, it’s so fun!

[@mikeshul1994]

I love that you put some respect on Dino Land/Dinosaur I really hope they don’t scrap the whole land & attraction

[@NFossmeyer]

Thank you for the videos on Genie+, every explanation helps so much. Would love to see a video with one of you using Genie+ and another not using it to see how many more rides Genie+ gives you in a day.

[@abnormally]

Cool that you've got a new camera - colour and contrast look better. Getting the stabiliser will help hopefully as it was a bit wobbly, plus a bit soft focus-wise. Maybe if you said what make and model you're using, someone else with that model can give some advice. Audio sounded really good, but maybe turn the gain down a few notches if you can, as it was distorting a bit sometimes. As someone else said, there was a lot of stutter/choppiness which might mean the camera is filming at a different framerate to what the video is being published at (30fps).

[@douglaskoski7098]

Might also have something to do with the type of IBIS the camera is setup with, or speed of SD card. I'm sure they'll be investigating!

[@MilouLois]

Happy Anniversary 🎉

[@RickiMinaj23]

I took my niece 22 yrs old, who was little when it was at DCA and didn't remember Its Tough To Be A Bug. She was screaming and jumping all around during it. It was hilarious! I remember it from I was a kid (we're 12 yrs apart), so it was nice to see her experience it and fumble around. 😂😂 A memory I will never forget.

[@barbk5820]

I loved Tarzan Rocks!!!

[@user-cc6jc3qx2d]

Hopper Day video idea! I’d love to see you do a “cleanup day” video for hopper use, and genie plus. This way, if we get through most of our trip and get to the last day, we could go back and hit big ticket, favorites, or things that we missed on our first individual Park day. Another idea would be to just figure out how to use hopper and genie plus together the most efficiently, because that’s what I’m not sure of. Love all your content & so glad the Kali Gods were in your favor in this day!

[@kitsunemetal]

I did Rafiki's planet watch a long time ago dont get me wrong it's neat but it's not worth going to the back of the park to see it and the safari is so relaxing.

[@jenniferfaux-campbell8175]

Agreed

[@XCaptainSX]

We saw Molly and the crew outside the escape room in Universal on Sunday. I wonder if they did a episode on it!!

[@lcflngn]

What, your Thumper was gorgeous!

[@johnhahn4392]

Happy anniversary 😊

[@rachelw1076]

For a second I thought you were saying there was Dole Whip on the chips 😄

[@angegeorgiades9387]

Hey Molly and Mam fam!! Your videos have been so helpful in helping me plan my trip in October but I’m struggling with WHAT TO WEAR!! Could you please do an outfit inspiration video or start including an outfit of the day with when you’re filming so I can get some inspiration ❤🥰😍

[@TinkenTank661]

I just love that bird show and Lion King! My favorite park!

[@alanarapacz1882]

I LOVED Tarzan Rocks!!!

[@zulickj]

I officially nominate Ken Watanabe as my star actor for Expedition Everest!! I feel it needs a familiar Asian face and he's a fantastic actor and very underrated. 👌

[@msbusyblonde]

Tarzan Rocks was my fave!!! But... the roller blading monkeys got hurt oriental and had to work light duty with us greetng at the Wildlife Express entrance to Rafiki's Planet Watch 😂 they hated it and were horrible at greeting. Sunglasses on and no smiles

[@MicheleKlinger]

More Genie+ science at its finest. These videos will forever be helpful (unless they change the system again lol). For the record, I am SO DOWN for an Expedition Everest movie, and Jason Momoa as the lead just feels like a necessity

[@tiffanygf88]

Loved this series! Also since you mentioned this is a new camera, the footage looked pretty choppy (at least on my end). Maybe you can play with frame rate settings?

[@crossroads322]

I was going to say the same 😬 it is hard for me to provide less than favorable feedback. I could not watch to end so it is possible it had already been addressed. Loves Miss M's hair!

[@PennieK]

I think I’m fairly good with genie+ but I still really enjoy these videos. Also pleased to see my favourite Crush performer too, my last trip I saw someone else and I didn’t know if he was still doing it.

[@paigemccoy8526]

Dinosaur is one of my all time favorites too!!

[@courtneyjohnston1115]

I love the idea of a genie + park hopping video. It'd be nice to see how you can maximize it and standby lines. I'd love to see you park hop between o ly 2 parks though. Its a little more realistic for most of us. Im not sure id ever be brave enough to try for all 4 in one day! 😅

[@eileenmiller4575]

I remember Tarzan Rocks! We loved it! So disappointed with the original Nemo as a replacement. We haven’t seen this version yet as we don’t really do shows as much anymore. Maybe next trip. But it can’t beat all those roller blades and Tarzan swinging on vines. 😊

[@bridgetclement2968]

Tarzan Rocks was such an amazing show. One of my favorites

[@amyisis7]

I would love to see this done when factoring in park hopper tickets and the added cost of park hopper Genie +.

[@jillisenberg9704]

I would love for you to do this as a “long weekend” edition. Fly in Friday, have Saturday and Sunday for parks, and fly home Monday. How do you use Genie Plus to do the highlights at all 4 parks?

[@deniselentz3261]

I love your blue hair

[@2getherWEventure]

Would love to see a recap of all the parks putting the numbers guy to work with an overall review for each park and the plus and minus with the new costs.

[@marilynm5024]

The animation experience is fun and good A/C if its a hot day.

[@brandonvieira8114]

Tarzan Rocks brings back all the nostalgia feels - that movie needs more representation in the parks again!!

[@followmyheartbeat]

Hi Molly!❤

[@jenniedub]

Thanks for this! Maybe do a couple of realistic Genie park hopping days for us, since I think your average person probably wouldn't try to hit all 4 parks in one day?

[@breezywithkids]

Wow 4 hours… definitely worth it especially since I have 4 small kids lol I’ll be getting it at every park always!

[@lizlandes500]

I’m a Liz, and I’m an artist too, and the only thing that matters is that YOU enjoy making art. Art is objective, so it doesn’t matter what others think! If you thought it was fun making it, then that’s all that matters!

[@samanthalee137]

Danny DeVito as the Yeti for the Expedition Everest movie

[@PrincessMeggala0913]

TARZAN ROCKS FAN CLUB! I have old home videos of it somewhere on my computer….I love Nemo, but Tarzan rocks just….it was so good!

[@Scrapbooksista70]

I remember Tarzan Rocks. I really liked it. I like Nemo too.

[@jenniferkendall1829]

Happy anniversary 🎉❤ When are you going to food and wine?

[@erincox-holmes2657]

Hair! Wow!

[@user-fg6nt3dd6i]

Thank you so much for these videos! So helpful!!! Our Family vacation will be in Disney. Unfortunately, the kiddos can not ride all rides. Video idea: So my husband and I are planning to do a date day/night. We have the park hopper. I'm wonder how can it work with the genie+? or would it be worth it? how much time can we save? so we can get back to the kiddos , whom we will have in camp dolphin. 💜

[@mercedesdownie7543]

For the Park Hopper video, you could do two videos: One of Classical Old School Disney, and another of High Tech Modern rides.

[@thumpersquid]

Running around playing fiddle-faddle with my phone is not how I will spend my vacation LOL. I love watching your channel seeing you do it though.

[@tarawrr20]

My suggestion for the park hopper video would be to just book LL for the attractions you love! The average person may not spend their time doing attractions they aren’t truly interested in. Maybe a video one day of “Molly’s Brain meets Genie+” ! 🎉

[@whitneysummers7926]

Kurt Russel as the yeti!
