Disney's Genie+ priority list for Magic Kingdom:

🎒 Ensure you have Genie+ purchased for all of your guests on the My Disney Experience app.  You can either add Genie+ to your vacation packing upon booking, or add it daily à la carte. 

πŸ•– At 7:00:00 book Jungle Cruise.Β  This disappears within seconds.Β  This should be your #1 priority for Lightning Lane (LL). There is a second "drop" of LL around 7:08 if you would like to take the risk to book an earlier time slot.

πŸ•š Book your 2nd LL 120 minutes after park opening or immediately after you tap into the 2nd turnstile for Jungle Cruise.Β  Peter Pan's Flight is your next priority.Β 

πŸ• Book 3rd LL 120 minutes after you book your 2nd one, or after you tap into a previous LL.Β On a sunny day, Splash Mountain should be your next pick. Otherwise, move to #4.Β 

πŸ•’ 4th isΒ Big Thunder Mountain Railroad using the same methodology as above.

Hands down, Magic Kingdom is my #1 choice for purchasing Genie+.Β  The number of attractions makes it a no-brainer on busier days. For other parks, I prefer a go early/stay late mentality.Β Β 

Have you had success usingΒ Genie+? What do you like / dislike about it? What questions do you have?Β

πŸ“Έ You can use Disney PhotoPass and download single photos!

-Disney PhotoPass Photographers take your picture somewhere awesome.
- Your MagicBand or personal QR code links your photos to your Disney account.
- You have 45 days to view and purchase.

We find this is a cheaper way to get at least one decent family picture per trip. For the 100% free way, you can ask any Disney PhotoPass Photographer to use your phone/camera to take a picture.

πŸ• Book 3rd LL 120 minutes after you book your 2nd one, or after you tap into a previous LL.Β The Twilight Zone Tower of Terrorβ„’ is temporarily operatingΒ with only one set of elevators, so for now, this is priority #3.Β  Otherwise it would beΒ Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run.

πŸ•’ 4th isΒ Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run using the same methodology as above.

With current crowds, it is likely you will only get a couple of these headliners.Β  In that case, you have a couple options: book a lower priority attraction or continue to refresh periodically.Β  Disney will release "dumps" of LL throughout the day.Β

03/03/2022

πŸ™ŽπŸ½β€β™‚οΈ Disney's Hollywood Studios is BY FAR the hardest park to navigate with elevated crowds. Why?​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
🎒 Low ride count. There are only NINE actual rides at this park. And everyone (not you Star Tours) is a banger. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
🎭 Lack of entertainment. Walt Disney World is still not operating at 100% capacity and you can feel it in this park. While most stage shows and character meet n greets have returned, they are still modified. Fantasmic! is not back. No street entertainment. These are imperative to keeping ride wait times lower! They help distribute crowds.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
⌚ Not a full day park (☝🏽 see above). It is REALLY hard to fill up a full day here which means we get this bolus of crowds late morning - late afternoon. People either sleep in and stay late, or come early and leave late afternoon. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
πŸ˜ƒ How do you beat this? ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
1️⃣ Take advantage of Early Theme Park Entry for Disney Resort Hotel Guests. Get to the park 45 minutes BEFORE early entry starts. Go to Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance. Then knock out Slinky Dog Dash or Mickey & Minnie's Runaway Railway; whatever you don't get on Genie+. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
2️⃣ Use Genie+. Priority list on future post.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
3️⃣ Find something to do in the middle of the day: table service meal, go back to your hotel, Disney Skyliner drinking tour. πŸ₯‚​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
How do you start your day at Disney's Hollywood Studios? Any tips for beating those mid-afternoon crowds?​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Who says Walt Disney World can't be for adults? Disney's Yacht Club is perfect for an adults-only getaway. It is one of the Cresent Lake resorts, with boat and walking access to Epcot and Hollywood Studios. Plan to spend one day at Epcot, one day at Hollywood Studios, and the remaining time enjoying the amazing pool, restaurants, and bars. β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €

🀼 Let's talk crowds- the word of the day at Disney World for most of February has been B-U-S-Y. This has caught a lot of people by surprise since February (aside from President's Day) is usually a sleeper pick for low crowds. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
🐭 How to manage and avoid the rat (mouse?) race:​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
πŸŒ… Become a morning person. You will get way more accomplished during the first two hours of park opening vs. the middle six hours. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
πŸŠπŸ½β€β™€οΈ Take a break during that busy mid-day. Go back to your hotel- nap, pool, anything. Loop the monorail and explore the resorts. Great places to nap at Disney's Contemporary Resort (outside meeting rooms) and Disney's Polynesian Resort (hammocks on the sand). ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
πŸŒ› Go back to the park or park hop around 4:00ish. You will see more people leaving the park than entering. Grab a snack, enjoy the atmosphere and start jumping in line. Lines only go down the closer you get to park close. You can get in line literally 0.01 second before park close. Use this to your advantage. Shops stay open after park close. Buses run well after park close. PARK CLOSE! ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​

πŸ‘‹ From Disney's Gran Destino Tower at Coronado Springs! We woke up our kiddos at 3:45 am to surprise them with a Disney trip! With Covid, it's a lot easier to be spontaneous!

⭐ No 180 day window for dining reservations. Lots of availability right now for same or next day dining!

⭐ Lots of discounts makes it easier to justify a quick trip.

⭐ Low occupancy at the resorts gives you a lot of options. We are doing a split stay this time- 2 nights at Coronado and 2 nights at Contemporary. I'll post tips in a future post on how to manage this.

The 2nd installment of our Disney Vacation Planning series is how long to stay? There are several items to consider when planning the length of your stay:β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
🏝 What type of vacation are you looking for? Do you plan to stay inside the "Disney Bubble" or do you want to explore Florida? If you want to visit the ocean, plan a full day or an overnight. WDW is in the middle of FL, it will take a couple hours to get to the coast. You will need a car. β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
πŸ‘Ά What ages are the travelers? Adults only, teens, small kids, mixed group? Visiting parks takes a lot of stamina; you likely will want to build in some non-park days if you have younger kiddos or a mixed group.β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
🏰 How many parks do you want to visit and how much time do you want to spend in each park? Arguably, Magic Kingdom needs two days in the park. The remaining parks can be done in one day, unless you plan on having sit down meals and taking in all of the shows.β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
πŸ’² How much do you want to spend? Rack rates at hotels are higher on the weekends and holidays. The per day rate for park tickets get cheaper with each day you add ("the longer you play, the less you pay!).β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
πŸ—“ We will explore some example itineraries over the next week to help you figure out the length of stay you need.β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
πŸ’‘ If you have any ideas for future posts, let me know in the comments!β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €

β˜€ Do you like to feel as though you will melt into the pavement? Does the thought of sweating through your shirt make you feel all cozy inside? Do you like the sound of your children screaming & crying because their Mickey ice cream bar melted in 0.003 seconds? If so, summer in Florida might be for you!β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
β˜€ June, July & August are the hottest months of the year to visit WDW. June & July are not only hot, but busy. If you need to accommodate school schedules, then I highly recommend visiting the last two weeks in August. Most Florida schools start ~mid Aug, effectively clearing out locals during the week. We went the last week of August in 2019, and although it was HOT, it was SLOW. β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
β˜€ Tips for visiting in HOT months: β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
- Take a mid day break back at your hotel.β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
- Pack a filtered straw water bottle (e.g. Brita) and refill often. Florida water takes like the swamp.β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
- Do indoor shows in the early afternoon hours (e.g. Mickey’s PhilharMagic, Hall of Presidents) to get an air conditioned break.β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
- Two words: DOLE WHIP. Eat early & often. So refreshing. β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
- Rope drop (i.e. arriving at park open) to take advantage of cooler temps and lower crowds. After a mid-day break, go back to the parks late afternoon. You will miss the hottest and busiest parts of the day. No better feeling than walking back into the park relaxed & refreshed, watching parents with tired, screaming kids leave the park. MORE SPACE MOUNTAIN FOR YOU!β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €

🏰 Have you seen the Cinderella Castle projections at Magic Kingdom? β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
πŸ”₯ Hot Tip: DO NOT SIT AND WAIT TWO HOURS TO WATCH THEM CYCLE THROUGH. They are beautiful background ambiance, but not worth wasting precious park time. Especially with reduced hours. Actually, no, do sit and wait. Less lines for Space Mountain for me. β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
πŸ”₯ 2nd Hot Tip: Right underneath the castle (where this photo was taken) has minimal crowds and offers a really cool perspective. β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €

πŸ“ƒ What's on your Disney bucket list? Mine is very short and specific: punch Donald Duck in the stomach. Don't ask why. I'm not judging your bucket list. As you can see... I got close with D***y.β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
🍴 Speaking of D***y - let's talk Storybook Dining at Artist Point. This was hands down our favorite table service meal on our last trip. It's a character meal featuring Snow White, D***y, Grumpy and Evil Queen. β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
🍴 This is a prix fixe menu. Shared appetizers for the table, choice of individual entree and shared desserts. The food is ambitious by Disney standards and executed very well. β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
πŸ‘Έ The character interactions are top notch. Only oddity is the Evil Queen remains in one area of the restaurant, which means you need to wait in line. All other characters come to the table. ( of course)β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
πŸ’² At the current cost of $60 per adult, this is one of the best uses of a table service credit on the Disney Dining Plan. β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €

🎠 One of the things I hope sticks around at Disney World post-coronavirus are the spontaneous character interactions. Randomly spotting your favorite character wandering the park adds so much magic. Yelling at my wife while she is in the bathroom that Kevin is outside and she needs to hurry up otherwise we are ditching her... not so much. πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈβ €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €

πŸŽ„ Have any of you ventured down to Disney for the holiday season this year? One of our favorite weeks to visit is the week after Thanksgiving. Christmas decorations are up, crowds are low, weather is great (for a Minnesotan!). πŸŽ„ β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €

🍨 The Beaches & Cream Soda Shop to-go counter located at Disney's Beach Club Resort is currently unavailable. This means, unless you do table service, you will miss out on the Holiday Cookie Butter Shake.β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
πŸŽ„ This is a cookie butter flavored milk shake, rimmed in frosting and sprinkles, topped with a red velvet cupcake with MORE frosting, sprinkles and chocolate Mickey ears. Our girls fought over it so much I literally walked away and let them duel for it, stabbing each other with the crappy WDW paper straws. πŸ€Ίβ €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
