Disney World Lightning Lane Challenge: WORST Case Scenario | Hollywood Studios Holiday Crowds, Tips

[@tobyriding]

TJ really is a legend. I said to him at the front of the queue that I watched & loved him on the Disney+ 'Beyond the attraction' show. He then took my family for a private tour of the lobby and other behind the scenes secrets. He took us on the ride personally and then after the ride, he met us again, took us through the 'secret' elevator and put us on again, front row centre, and then did it again!! Absolutely magical experience, I love that man!

[@turcj]

Your Bell Hop that loaded you into the elevator was TJ. He has been with the Tower since it opened. And you just said that. LOL! That's what I get for making comments while I am still watching the vid.

[@MicheleKlinger]

Molly is our Multipass hero! I just got back from a Disneyland trip and felt like I SLAYED because of her skills she shared with us all. I’ll be back in wdw in a few weeks and this video (along with all the other Multipass videos) will be rewatched for sure.

[@MeadowHill-Soltys]

She really is!

[@Michelley523]

Just got back from our trip, and my family was SO IMPRESSED with my general Disney knowledge, especially Multipass. It's all thanks to Mammoth Club! The only ride we couldn't get to our whole week was Rockin Rollercoaster (we only did Multipass at HS and it was down a lot of the day).

[@lilskywalker4491]

Thank you SO much for doing a great video on LLs on a VERY crazy busy day! The info is so appreciated. We used to often go at Thanksgiving, and it was always crazy busy. For Smuggler's Run, once we do the regular line as a group, we so enjoy splitting up and doing Single rider over and over.

[@sheriauttonberry2296]

Thanks for doing a busy day multipass video!! We are one of those families who can only go at busy times. Would love to see a MK ropedrop + multipass + busy day video at some point!!

[@meganlenart8]

Who wants a Molly Alan workout routine video but the training for disney version. Like curls for eating giant cookies or bag lifts for getting outta space mountain haha.

[@prezhenz6969]

Honestly we all know Alan is jacked, but Molly is the kween of cardio given how much walking she does a week

[@lisadoget9963]

They also walk a ton at the parks so that helps and they share tons of their food. I lose weight at WDW and eat what I want because you walk so much !!

[@lisadoget9963]

Also I am almost 54 so it’s not like I have a young metabolism..I do work out but it’s 10 miles a day easy there

[@kdfrench942]

24 oz cold brew curls!

[@KM_Loves_Books]

I could see a whole series themed to each park or maybe workouts for different Disney movies?

[@SheriSanderson]

Thanks again for a fun and informative video. I don’t have a tripped planned at the moment, but I live vicariously through you.

[@ceciwynne4154]

Fun fact: there was a choral version of when we’re together, and I sang it at a Christmas concert in 2021 after coming back from Covid. It makes me cry now every time I hear it 🥹 so cool!

[@kirstenlavergne9949]

My daughter and I enjoyed your video. We watched once for the info and second to just look at all the ambiance of magical HS. Thank you!!!

[@Tilly421]

You had TOT Bellhop legend TJ load your elevator...awesome!!!! Funny, I typed this as I was watching the video, then you noted that TJ was your Bellhop. Phenomenal Cast Member

[@danilyons2367]

Can confirm the power of the fiddle faddle! Had me first visit to Disney world in September, and accidentally ended up with our only Epcot day on September 21st, (September day) and the virtual queue spots for guardians were gone in less than a second. Spent the day refreshing the app, and managed to get a lightning lane for two at 4., and rode at five.

[@knik7029]

Ohhhh I just learned something about the blue name tag. Thank you!

[@kierstenchandler2067]

Molly doing a throwaway "it came out 20 years ago" about Toy Story Mania made me literally sick.

[@Mammoth_Club]

Same

[@knik7029]

Molly you are my favorite! I have followed you for years! Before mammoth club! Thank you for all your knowledge on theme parks!

[@samanthashedd3975]

our last Disney trip was with our Elsa obsessed 3 year old so we did the Frozen sing-a-long twice that week: super cute, kids loved the show and even my son was singing along, and I like the idea of the Holiday songs in there for December

[@larajens9066]

The cast member at TOT was great! I love when they are in character 😊

[@raspburied]

i went same day to epcot a week ago after 12pm and fiddle faddled with multipass and managed to get a ratatouille for that night! honestly so grateful you've been teaching everyone that fiddle faddling is a quick process that CAN be annoying, but so worth it if you manage to get what you're looking for.

[@xyberinferno]

Friggin’ TJ on Tower! Heck of a bonus!

[@gr8vbplaya18]

We love TJ! Top notch cast member.

[@lisadoget9963]

So excited for this video as I am worried about the “what ifs” thanks so much!!

[@LBullockPW]

My favorite Frozen experience, the lady narrator almost lost her wig and of course, both the narrators had to improve. It was soooooo funny!! I’m planning on going to Disney next Thanksgiving so this was super helpful!

[@jacitucci]

Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railroad is my family’s absolute favorite. Makes me so happy and will be so nostalgic to my boys.

[@richardamoss5904]

Just a side note-agreed that HS ride availability..even at Jollywood and After Hours...is very dependent on rides being down. Rise being down bumps up the others- as well as RR and MMRR. We attended Jollywood and rode everything but Rise which was down over an hour and RR was down for almost an hour. We walked out of the cue at Rise to get RR as it's my kid's favorite and we may not be back down before it closes. Thank you for all this work! TREASURE waiting..excited

[@barbarac3879]

We are actually planning for Christmas 2025 because we want to experience the magic of the holidays (and the crazy) :) Thanks for this video it was really helpful!

[@peterandjaydecaramalis5889]

We recently used LL in California and it was a gem! We did everything we wanted and didn’t wait at all. I know WDW is different but it’s amazing for the other coast.

[@blair7653]

I personally like being the engineer on smuggler's run.. It's the job with the least amount of work and it actually allows you to watch what's happening and enjoy the ride.. I would put pilot a second, though it doesn't feel like you actually have any control over the ship. But hey, getting to make that jump to hyperspace is everyone's dream right.. And Gunner sucks because you end up with a sore arm afterward..

[@adamp2384]

Yes the wookie cookie is much worse than it used to be, I had a terrible one a couple months ago, I think they have changed the recipe or have done something different they need to go back to what they were doing before

[@m.m.s429]

As someone who just watched Christmas carol muppets edition- I giggled too on the Frozen show reference. 😅

[@rebeccarinehart8998]

I love the Cuban sandwich at Backlot!

[@davidnewell3717]

When I was last there in October the Single Rider for Rise started in the preshow room, NOT in the room with the Stormtroopers. They filled a preshow room with all Single Riders and we were kept in a separate line after the Stormtrooper room before being sent into interrogation.

[@yerterb7135]

fantastic steven tyler impression 😂 and thanks for the subtitles!❤

[@Nakoym]

Holding space 😂😂😂😂 Molly you are hilarious 🩷 loved the video another BANGER

[@chouliha1]

This is great idea! Can you bring back the closed captions?

[@yerterb7135]

they’re back now 🎉 i need them too

[@mountainmamavlogs6023]

You can tap the screen then tap the cc and it will be on for you

[@lillis887]

❤❤❤Done like a true local just popping into the park for the afternoon!!🤣🥰❤️❤️

[@jenniejordan8287]

Wow those ride lines....was there week before Thanksgiving crowds were low, we were able to ride several rides multiple times

[@humbletomatofarmer]

this is when im planning my trip for next year bc my travel agent suggested it!! she said the crowds are usually much lower. was that your experience across the board?

[@amypatterson1041]

Would love to see how you navigate a very busy day without any LL just regular ole standby. For example Christmas week rope dropping MK then all day in park with no LL and show how to get the most done, e.g. attractions, shows, fireworks, characters. Even better make it a challenge between you and Alan and see who gets the most done/has the best strategy.

[@vickismith2200]

Thank you for taking on this Maximum Difficulty park level, Molly! I too have big feelings about losing MuppetVision 3D; it's the last thing that Jim Henson worked on and both the pre-show and the show itself make me laugh every time. Back in the day, even the hard queue was a delight because there was so much to look at and so many gags per square inch. I'm happy that the gang will still have a presence at the parks but I'm not sure that Disney has ever really gotten to grips with how to use The Muppets effectively, the only movie/tv thing that has truly worked was the 2011 film with Jason Segel & Amy Adams. My hope would be for them to get Segel back to come up with a plot for Rockin' Rollercoaster that's more than the obvious "we've got to get across LA to see the Mayhem." Re: losing Aerosmith, there's also a rights issue with the music; Universal now owns Aerosmith's back catalogue so I think this is part of adjustments for both of Orlando's park behemoths while they sort out rights for music and IP. We'll probably lose The Simpsons and Marvel from Universal but they could straight swap most of the Marvel stuff into DC fairly easily.

[@Haileysbeeuty]

Thank you for doing God’s work!!! Always was curious for these type of situations.

[@whiterabbitofthenorth]

You Truly are a Blessing to us!! Thank you for your wisdom and hard work!! Because of you and your team, I'm confident to take a by myself trip for the first time ever. Dream come true and you helped. If I ever see you- drinks and cheese and bread will be had in plenty- my treat for sure.

[@robertsandybeach9990]

I try to go the week before or after Thanksgiving week..and crowds are not bad.

[@stephadams4878]

I was there Thanksgiving week and only ever got my 3 i booked. As far as the rides you want to. Shows and star tours was always available.

[@jenunboxed512]

SAME with the HVR and sour cream. We call it ambrosia dip. And for us, the trick is to use the salad dressing version of the packet, not the dip version.

[@StefanieStroud-s4h]

Hi! Love you! Love your videos! Love that you said you were fiddle faddling before therapy. 🫶🏻 I also love your sunglasses! Can you tell me where they are from? 😘

[@MeadowHill-Soltys]

She is awesome

[@23Raymond]

@MeadowHill-Soltysok ok the meat riding is getting out of hand

[@23Raymond]

@MeadowHill-Soltysmeat rider

[@ericdoolittle6813]

It would be HILARIOUS if they redid the intro in the waiting area of rocking roller coaster with the muppets instead of Aerosmith.

[@Ratchetfan321]

Yeah thats how the wookie cookie was for me earlier this year very thick and dry stlye cookie

[@cijmo]

Rockin' Roller Coaster ... when that thing took off, I made a noise I didn't even know I OWNED! It is CRAZY from start to end. I never mind re-theming as long as they don't change the actual ride.

[@busymomof3girlz]

I'm worried about that Wookie Cookie. TJ = amazing!

[@busymomof3girlz]

just the look is off... I hope you just got a 1 off day.

[@KW48890]

I will gladly fill the engineer spot on Smugglers Run because looking at the screen makes my motion sickness act up 🙃 The struggle is real lol

[@beangirl1389]

In 2025 it would be cool to do a character day where you do all things that character, like Moana has themed deserts, thr meet and greets, Journey of Water, in parades & do all of that in 1 day. It would be fun to get your take on it! 😊

[@CarolCap131]

Enjoyed the video. I would have loved to see how the rise single rider line would have been in that last hour.

[@prezhenz6969]

I’m glad I got to go to Disney 2021-2023. I don’t think I’m going to deal with the kids, the parents and the LL bs. I’m definitely happy with Universal and can’t wait for Epic Universe

[@busymomof3girlz]

The Historians are my favorite!!!

[@juliebuchheit7015]

I’m so sad about the Wookie cookie. I look forward to that every trip. I guess I can skip it next time.

[@katybrown6825]

Hey Molly!! Would love if you could do a video about lightning lanes (as a non resort guest), trying to do all parks, with the best rides in 1 day? I'm going to universal in Jan, staying on site but want to do a day at disney - just wondering the best way how 😅

[@hop775]

If they do the retheme of rocking roller coaster as well as they did the retheme of Screamin to the Incredicoaster it could be really cool.

[@jenniferrundle6870]

I'd like to see you do the Premiere pass on New Year's Day at MK and show how much time you saved...

[@jigglyjuwwlz8470]

Uncle dans ranch not hidden valley lol there’s a difference 21:21

[@breezywithkids]

Thank you thank you thank you!!!!!!! Queen!!!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@jenniferdungan8391]

Totally bummed about Rock-N-Roller Coaster. I've been to WDW 3 times and every time it's down for repair. So Bummed I never got to ride it.

[@bunnylations]

You had TJ, that's so cool ❤

[@mike9147]

Wish Disney with cut through the all the hassles of their 'skip the lines' pass and do a SIMPLE Express Pass like the one at Universal?!?

[@jeskuo]

I wish they would just stop selling skip the line passes and make everyone go on standby

[@kayjay5143]

They do now have it. It’s ~$300 for Magic Kingdom.

[@claveauannie]

The express pass at universal is very pricey… let’s not forget that fact when we wish for that…

[@toddw8396]

I am definitely on team not happy about MV3D closure announcement

[@beccac6812]

Molly is bravery: I am a grown ass woman in my 30s and I did a solo half day in HS this year and had LL: but I could not make myself ride tower alone 😆 I was too scared

[@joanvandegriek5320]

Would you ever consider in park meet-ups? Seems like it would be a blast for fans to ride together…

[@shikinami-san]

Does anyone have an actual date for the changes to rockin roller coaster? I need to visit the park one last time before they change it. I have many many memories with my late father on that ride and he loved the original theming. It has been very sad to watch all of our favotire rides get changed so drastically and i wanna do it rock star style one last time for dad.

[@merlinidlehands3302]

I never had fancy tickets for rides BUT Walt did give my grandpa a great table in the saloon in Fronteer Land once when it was already full and stoped the train going around the park in between lands so grandpa could take another pic and I did see Walt many times all over the park .he was my grandpas friend lol We would always have to wait for Walt and my Grandpa to finish hanging out to go on a ride hahaha Grandpa got to get on FREE BUT we had to pay lol...........That happened Many times

[@lindly9]

I am dying to have the denim Mickey jacket... looked through your links in the caption and I cannot find it :(

[@Mammoth_Club]

It's from Imagineering's line that was exclusive at D23! :(

[@paigeswanson9280]

PLEASE, please do a video using premier pass at Disney World :)

[@germyw]

I haven’t been here in a minute and I see Disney has invented something else to confuse me. 😢I’m going in February.

[@MeadowHill-Soltys]

Congratulations

[@johngalvano5895]

It's not that bad once you get the hang of it

[@Laurendamon]

omg you got THEE bellhop at Tower

[@t_cheating8239]

I do the samething when it comes to thrill rides. I laugh so hard. Idk why, but I can not help myself.

[@Kcampbell845]

Is there reserved seating for frozen show for LL or do you just go in whenever and hopefully find a seat even if right before it starts?

[@KateS1980]

No reserved seating, just guaranteed entry

[@mollycaldwell1368]

If I'm parkhopping and starting at AK I'd buy the multipass for AK and then can book rides in another park after I scan in. My question is if I buy the multipass for AK can I buy a single pass for a ride in a different park (like Cosmic Rewind in the evening at Epcot)?

[@KateS1980]

Yes!

[@claveauannie]

You can book a lightning lane in another park after you can in your first attraction with a multi pass, I just wanted to clarify because I wasn’t sure if you were talking about scanning in AK or an attraction.

[@MeadowHill-Soltys]

CANADA!!!!!!!❤🇨🇦

[@michellekolpack2780]

Where is your Mickey shirt from???

[@tinkfast4689]

Cheers to holding space for Muppet*Vision!

[@laurah1836]

Can you reserve a “fancy ride” in addition to the 3 LL rides?

[@KateS1980]

Yes!

[@justimagine2403]

Does... "Nothing Left" mean I can't go on that ride? I can't imagine going to Magic Kingdom and NOT getting to ride Pirate or Mansion?

[@Mammoth_Club]

No, it just means there aren't any Lightning Lanes left. :)

[@jasond1500]

First Splash Mountain gets merked and now they want to take Muppet Vision behind the shed, was Sam Eagle's patriotism too problematic? Anyways, I still think the OG paper fast passes still remain the most superior implementation especially if you knew how to work it for maximum benefit. And of course it was free! I sort of wonder if the solution for Disney is to go back to a boardwalk style pay per ride system. Pay $50 or whatever to get in the park & do the walk-through stuff but each ride is a separate charge from $2 to $20 or something. With a handful of select freebies or cast members randomly giving passes away to people or families as they walk around the park.

[@supcathy]

NEED you to link me to these ears and jacket PUHLEAAASEEEEE

[@tjweddington2311]

No matter how hard I try I can never get a reservation at Oga’s. How do people do it?

[@Mammoth_Club]

The walk-up wait list usually works out for us! Otherwise try MouseDining, an online service that sends alerts when reservations become available. Just make sure you're quick!

[@megansquires]

Yay TJ❤🎉

[@MagicalAdventuresWithCass]

“Never Settle” preach girl!! ❤️❤️

[@ep8755]

I love Molly and Mammoth Club, but I can't watch these videos about the ways Disney soaks its guests. Single pass. Individual lightening lanes. Dynamic pricing based on the season. The exorbitant cost of tickets to begin with. It's all so disheartening.

[@geekacres]

Show of hands… anybody else be out of their mind to have engineer Molly pushing buttons on their Falcon Run? #parsecfiddlehaddle

[@claveauannie]

OMG Molly said many times that she feels awkward being part of an other family memories, I would be sooooo happy if Molly was our sixth to my family of 5 at smugglers….

[@lisadoget9963]

We are doing HS next year just for my Muppets !! ❤❤❤

[@jtimko2196]

Please stop taking Ozempic.

[@allisonweatherspoon1696]

This is such a ridiculous and rude comment. Stop commenting on women’s bodies, no one wants your opinion. And whether she is taking it or not is none of your business

[@jtimko2196]

There are long term negative effects apart from looking sickly. Whatever happened to good old fashioned diet and exercise?

[@valkyrievixen8864]

Wow, uncalled for! Comments like this are unnecessary and rude. Mind your own body

[@AWESOMESAUCEES]

Fr no one asked for your opinion random internet dude

[@davidnewell3717]

When I was last there in October the Single Rider for Rise started in the preshow room, NOT in the room with the Stormtroopers. They filled a preshow room with all Single Riders and we were kept in a separate line after the Stormtrooper room before being sent into interrogation.
