    The Genie Usage, Tips and Strategy ONLY Thread

    We’re headed to MK tomorrow and are resort guests who plan on rope dropping. Would you recommend buying Seven Dwarves and Space? If we do that should we head straight to Peter Pan? We do have access to MK extra evening hours later in the week if that makes a difference. I plan on getting a LL...

    Deluxe Extra Nighttime Hours

    W We’re at Shades now and going to Epcot Evening Hours tomorrow. We’ve been told they’ll just scan our magic bands (our reservation is linked on MDE) but we’re bringing our little bus pass they give you just in case. I’ll let you know if we have any trouble!

    Extended Evening Hours

    Touring Plans posted their EEH experience at Epcot in their Instagram stories and they waited under 3 minutes for Remy. No idea if that's typical or not.

    Is anyone considering postponing a trip?

    [ Oh man! I worry that when they say "mild" they just mean you won't be hospitalized or die, but can still get really sick even if you're boosted and otherwise healthy. But, then I hear so many breakthrough infection people saying it was just like a mild cold or barely a sore throat. I guess...

    Is anyone considering postponing a trip?

    I hope you are feeling well soon! Do you regret going? We have gotten sick after trips to Disney a few times (the joy of traveling with small kids) but have always felt it was worth it in the end. As long as hospitalizations don't spike we are leaning towards going, fully accepting it means...

    60 days out reservations.....

    I'm pretty sure it's 6:00am Eastern Standard Time. I remember waking up at 5:30 in the morning to be sure I was ready.

    Is anyone considering postponing a trip?

    Our trip starts on January 9th and I keep going back and forth on whether we should go. We have been very cautious regarding Covid and have followed all the guidance on masking and social distancing since the beginning of the pandemic. We are all vaccinated and boosted if eligible. Part of me...

    The Genie Usage, Tips and Strategy ONLY Thread

    I’m sure these have been covered and I just missed it but, can two people make selections at the same time for the same group? Can I get passes for Slinky while my husband is getting ILL for ROTR? And you don’t need to physically be in the park to make selections after that initial 7:00am (or...

    Best way to utilize gift cards?

    Thanks! I didn't realize you could move the balances around like that and that makes me feel better about putting them on physical cards. Unfortunately we can't charge to the room while at Shades of Green so that will only be an option if Disney releases military room rates and we can switch...

    Space 220 Ressies in January....anybody get one?

    Yeah, on our last trip BOG was the impossible to get reservation. We got one and were pretty "meh" on the whole experience. Now BOG is available every day of our trip, lol! I think I'm concerned that Space is going to basically be Coral Reef with stars and astronauts.

    Best way to utilize gift cards?

    We are planning to buy the discounted Sam's club gift cards on Black Friday, but we're staying at SOG so I'm not sure how to utilize the e-cards? Is there a way to load them on the My Disney Experience app to pay for individual Lightning Lanes? Or add them to an Apple Wallet or something and use...

    Space 220 Ressies in January....anybody get one?

    I tried yesterday for our January 9th-15th trip. Started looking on the 15th at 6:00am on the dot and worked my way towards the 9th and there was nothing. Now I'm trying to decide if it's worth the hassle of setting up alerts and checking back regularly. The reviews seem pretty mixed and it's...

    Your favorite resort restaurant

    Sanaa and California Grill top our list for favorite resort meals. We're looking forward to trying Toppolino's on this trip after reading so many great things about it.

    Should I bother trying for Space 220 or just go get a Mickey's Kitchen Sink instead?

    I made our dining reservations yesterday and got everything except Space (which I expected would be the case). We have some old favorites like Sci-Fi and Sanaa, and some new places like Toppolino's and Raglan Road. My dilemma is that I put Beaches and Cream kind of as a "space holder" for...

    Are my reservations too close together?

    I have a reservation for Oga's at 7:30pm and a reservation for Droid building at 8:40. I haven't been to Disney since Star Wars was built so I'm not sure how feasible that is. I do have options for an earlier Oga or a later Droid.

    Lots more hopping than we've done before!

    Thank you so much for your feedback! I really appreciate it! You were right about Ohana, no luck on the 9th but I was able to get it on the 14th. I just moved Toppolino's to the 15th so that worked out well. No Space 220 either, but I expected that. If we end up getting it that will be awesome...

    If you plan on hopping and using Genie+ what time are you aiming your first LL time for?

    Lots more hopping than we've done before!

    I would love it if you could look over my plans and let me know what you think! We'll be there January 9-15th and are staying at SOG, so we qualify for early entry and extra evening hours. We've been to Disney many times before but haven't done a lot of park hopping because it seemed hard with...
