I’ll never forget my first Grand Fiesta Tour ft. The Three Caballeros experience! While our family was snacking at La Cantina de San Angel, my husband and I decided to wander into the pyramid. As we were walking through, looking at all of the artifacts and such, imagine our surprise when we realized there is like a whole entire underground Mexican village down there!! AND a ride. Say what?!? We hopped on the ride and laughed the whole time. So much fun! When we got off, Donald Duck was walking around the restaurant in his fiesta wear! Of course we talked to Donald, complimented him on his beautiful clothes, and got a picture with him! The Grand Fiesta tour is truly one of my favorites because the way we discovered it was just so magical. We still haven’t gotten to eat at the restaurant in there, but we definitely have it on our list! 🎉💗 this was in 2017!

Another hack is to compete in the Disney Marathon. Expedition Everest is opened early for the runners (usually from 7:30), you run past the entry for Tower of Terror and a quick detour for Rock 'n' Roller Coaster and the staff let you bypass the line and go on immediately, the same for Test Track. You also get to see some of the back of house areas that are usually off limits.

I would disagree with the early morning breakfast to be in the parks before the general population-that was useful prior to covid when there was no daily early morning entry for resort guests. Staying on property, I could be first in line at the most popular ride every day @ 0830. If I only have 1/2 hr head start at a TABLE SERVICE restaurant, I would have to inhale the food in 30 mins to beat the other resort guests to those rides. It's darn near impossible.

Can you make an early morning breakfast reservation, enter the park and then don't go to the restaurant but instead queue up for a ride? You'll pay the no-show fee, but it might be worth it. Also sad that there is no more Early Morning Magic event, where in Magic Kingdom you could ride Peter Pan, Small World, Winnie the Pooh and 7 Dwarfs Mine Train from 8-9 am and had breakfast included until 9:30 am. You had to pay for this, like $80 or so, but it was so worth it. (This was separate from early entry for hotel guests.)

Booking an early Breakfast only helps if you can book an hour before the park opens. As nothing seems open at 7:30, this really won't work for those staying on property. Only for those staying off property. For those staying on property, it would probably be better to have a 7:00 breakfast at the hotel then go to the park for the 8:30 rope drop.

I joined the walk up wait list and was sitting within the hour. It was a very enjoyable evening. I was also able to get a reservation for Le Cellier in Epcot. I had to first book it as a party of 2 and then modify it to a party of 1. It was quite easy and very enjoyable. I highly recommend doing a solo trip.

Hi! AJ was correct about being able to make your next Lightning Lane reservation immediately after scanning into your current reservation. Note that if it's an attraction that has two active scan points, you have to wait until you've passed the second scanner.

I have to say I really enjoy all of the videos that you put out. But I have to say you need to put out a video that’s more realistic with the way Jennie plus work. I made a comment on a post a couple of days ago and I was just at the parks for the 13th through 17 March. I pay top dollar $29 a day for my party at four so we could try to Eugénie plus to maximize our time in the park by the time I was able to pick my third pick most lightning lanes that were top rides were gone for the day. There are other things you can pick, but it’s not things that you want to do. So in essence, you are wasting your money because you’re still going to have to stand in line. Where do you purchase genie plus or not. When they aren’t available, you cannot select them anymore for that day. Also when I did purchase a ticket for a ride, the earliest I got when I picked up right at 8 AM and Animal Kingdom was 5:40 PM that evening. So I think it would help Disney guests do you understand that you may purchase Genie plus for a low price of $15 up to $29 a day but you’ll be lucky if you get two of your rides picked for that day when your parks are extremely full. We was very disappointed and I had studied how to use a step for two months prior to my visit.
@anastasiakoo3381

You said you picked it up at 8am but those staying at the resorts can select genie + at 7am of their visit. You also have to be strategic with genie + you can't just book them for later in the day because then you can't book another one for 2 hours or after your ride.
