I have a trip planned for early February and I think I have a decent enough grasp on Genie + to create a plan of attack for our arrival day. I'm interested in any critiques. Will this be possible? Are there any better or more efficient ways to step up our day?
I am working under the assumption that park hours will be the same as they are listed for early January. I am also assuming that since I am staying on property and can begin check-in on the app in advance, Genie + will recognize that I am a resort guest and can book ILL$ at 7am, even though I won't "officially" have checked into my resort yet.
Ok - Planning on spending most of the day at EPCOT. We can get to the parks by lunch time. We do have park hopper tickets. So, I made a park res at HS since it officially opens at 9am ( 1 hr earlier than EPCOT). At 7 am, make ILL$ for Remy for much later in the day. Also, at 7, make first Genie+ selection for HS for anything ( non-headliner attraction) that has a return time between 9-10 am. Next, let first Genie + expire (since I won't be at the park by then). Make next Genie+ at 10:01 am for EPCOT, since we will park hop there later. At 12:01, make next Genie+ at Epcot and head to HS to "check-in" to first park and eat lunch. @1:30 take Skyliner over to Epcot to enter between 1:45-2 pm. 2:01 make 3rd Genie+ reservation at Epcot.
So if this all goes to plan, I will have 1 ILL$ and 3 LL res for Epcot right after I enter. What do you think? Possible? Of course with it being February, this may be more work than it's worth. Maybe the crowds are so low that We could just go to Epcot at 12:30 and have ridden most things by 2 or 2:30 anyway. Thoughts?
 
If you just do your first LL pass for Epcot, it doesn't matter what time as it'll go after 2pm due to park hopping, you can then make your second at noon, third at 2pm, so you're making your second and third at the same time, you're just not having to worry about when the first expires in HS.

Also, if you're going before presidents weekend, there's a chance you could get a Remy's boarding pass in the virtual queue, which would be better than spending money on it. You have to check into the park before getting it, but right now, they're lasting longer than 2pm.

Park hopping is still only after 2pm. If it's not changed before the holidays, I doubt it'll be changed, so you wouldn't be able to enter at 1230.
 
Yes. I should have clarified my last statement. If crowds are not bad, we could just make our park pass res for EP not HS, and just not worry about park hopping, genie + etc. and just go straight to EP when we get into town @12:30.
If we did park hop from HS, and made our first LL for EP at 7, looks like we could make our 2nd LL at 11 not 12 since HS opens at 9. So even better. Thanks for walking me through some options!
