A Wild Night at Epcot: How Many Rides Can We Do With Our New Extended Evening Hours Strategy?! 

Excellent as always. If knowledge is king, you have been coronated!

Our family of 4 just got back from a 6 day trip to MK, EPCOT, AK and HS. All I can say is we all want to give a great big THANK YOU to Rob and Ear Scouts for making our trip wonderful!! We rode Guardians multiple times, MMRR multiple times, ROTR multiple times, and Remy and MF several time each. Of course, we rode all of the other long time favs like FOP, Soarin', etc etc many times. I and my 25 y/o son studied all of your vids for several months before we left and felt extremely well prepared. We understood exactly what we needed to do to get everything done that we could have possibly wanted to do. We walked around 50 miles total over the 6 days, which was not easy for my 71 year old body! But we experienced way more than we could have ever hoped to had we not had the benefit of Rob's sound strategies and advice. We were all so surprised to see so many people around us in nearby lines unable to get on so many of the best attractions without waiting for a long time, but it seemed we were the only ones spinning the Disney Genie slots! The general lack of preparation by so many was surprising. Anyway, we had great success booking literally dozens of top attractions through use of Ear Scouts strategies. We left nothing undone! In summary, thanks to Rob for all you and Ear Scouts do for us WDW fanatics!! We were all hoping to bump into you somewhere so we could buy you a Joffries snack, but alas, it was not to be. Maybe next trip!

Your joy when making these videos is what Disney is all about! Thank you Rob!!

I gave you a little of grief the last video you went to epcot and did 3 rides in 2hrs. This time you doubled it. Absolutely awesome with the hustle and metrics you used. Pro teams use these metrics with there player evaluations. Similiar what you did with walking distance between rides and shortest walk to and from rides. I like that. Oh and the video is great thank you.

We passed you coming from Ratatouille, right around the 18:37 mark. You and Erick looked like you were on a mission so I didn’t want to disturb you. Looks like I was right! 😂 Still, it was great ‘seeing’ you! Can’t wait to watch the whole thing later! Thanks again for doing what you do!

Thank you so much for all the effort you put in these videos. Your enthusiasm is so inspiring and after all the polarizing content out there, watching your videos always make me hopeful and happy and more and more knowledgable. The info about walking times are amazing.

Love the person photobombing in the Test Track line. 😂😂😂

My family and I just returned from a very successful trip thanks to your incredibly informative videos. Thank you SO MUCH for your dedication to excellence in all things WDW and Genie+! I recommend your videos to everyone 🎉

Just wanted to thank you. Wrapping up a week with extended family at WDW and I was the one responsible for all things genie+ and reservations. Without your videos we wouldn't have gotten half as much done. Thank you so much!

🎉 Fiesta! Fiesta! 🎉

This is great information! Thank you so much!

We are going to Disney in just a few weeks and this will be our first time doing extended evening hours - your videos have been SO helpful in planning the best strategies!

My name is Craig Dennis i never miss your new videos i in joy all of your videos all the time you have a nice safe weekend you take care today and you be careful today👍👍👍👍👍

10:59 for Remy!!! 😂 nice speed walking! Good strategy.. thanks for posting!

Lots of fun as usual. Thanks Rob 😊

Been watching/studying all of your videos for our 4 years old 5th birthday we are spending in Disney in September!! You are the best! And explaining strategy! Can’t wait to implement everything we have learned thus far!! I think we are going to crush using all of your strategies!! Keep them coming!!

Couldn’t agree more! I’ve heard that Tron during extended hours takes a long time as well. Great video as always!

This was perfect!! Thank you so much for once again providing such an amazing video!!

Yay I’m so glad the tip worked to start with guardians at 9. I agree with you about Epcot forever 😆 thanks for all the tips and hard work you did for this video. Great job!

Your videos have made me a better Disney travel agent. Thank you!!!!

Thanks for clarifying about the virtual boarding pass 😊

Once again a great video. Thanks for such great info. Loving those ears and it was good to see you guys at H2O glow. Can't wait for that video

Great stuff and thank you so much for doing the legwork.

Love your videos Rob! I’ve gained so much knowledge and confidence for our upcoming trip! Maybe we will catch ya out there!

Thank you so much for your tips! Disney slots worked well except for a return time on Jungle Cruise, so really happy!!! Hope we see you filming in the park next time we go. Thanks again!!!

You are amazing!! These videos are fantastic :) Your strategies are good and I enjoy comparing notes!

My son and I were on Guardians with you earlier in the evening! I didn't realize it until I saw the photo!! I've been watching all of your videos to prepare for a 1 day trip at Animal Kingdom in June! Thanks for all the tips!!

I love the science that went into this video! Your videos are always so much fun to watch 💜💜💜

Our trip isn’t for 6 months, but we’ve been watching one of your videos daily! We are excited to watch this one tonight!

Amazing video! You really make me feel like I'm there!

You are totally delightful. I love your attitude, and I appreciate the detailed strategies you share.

GotG was definitely an empty queue when the fireworks starts. Amazing that the wait was zero, and there was only two other ride vehicles that had guests. What a great experience to have that ride almost to myself.

I'm heading to Disney World beginning of June and I have limited time there, 3 days. I love watching your videos, they have been so helpful. Thank you!

Awesome video Ear Scouts !

Love your ears!

Love your content. Used your strategy at Animal Kingdom today and it worked perfectly. My wife and I just ran into you at the hotel food court! Have a great night.

I think this was the night I met you and got a picture with you haha. I was the guy from Scotland 😊 thank you again for all your tips and tricks 😆 xx

Thanks for say hi to my family at Animal Kingdom!! 🎉 See you in Magic Kingdom!

Such a fun and informative video. Can’t wait for my WDW trip happening in a week

Great accurate video but Soarin is my favorite!

Love your videos ❤

I took my fiancée to all the parks this week, and we had a ball! I’m appreciative of your tips. Our experience was smooth sailing 😌

I can't stop watching all of your videos!! My trip is officially less than 3 weeks from now and I've got a reservation for each of the 4 parks. My first time to Florida. My husband and kids first time to USA (hi from Canada!) and first time flying for my girls. I know this is getting too close to launch time for us, but any chance you can do some more of those "how to do everything in the ____ park without genie plus"? Staying offsite (yes, I know, I have so many regrets but it's too late now :( so here we are). Getting genie plus is going to majorly depend on the cost at the time, and likely would only get it for Magic Kingdom. But I only decided yesterday (after watching your videos) that instead of doing 2 days at MK, we should do Epcot. My kids love Frozen and I just felt like we need to experience all of the parks. Would love some tips! And packing list - what should we bring with us? If you're filming while we're there, would love to say hi and thanks to you and Eric for all the premium content!

Hi Rob! My husband and I LOVE your videos. Can you do one (or point us to one) that shows which food options are open during the extended hours for deluxe resort guests? Thanks!! -Susan

Whenever we did Epcot extended evening hours, we basically only consider the time enough to do Guardians, Remy’s and Frozen. Anything after that is bonus

aww this makes me so sad about the fireworks! we are headed there in a couple of weeks and i was looking forward to them at epcot. i remember coming when i was 10 and seeing the fireworks and being obessed with them. i was able to see that same show in 2019 before they replaced it (i can't remember the name though) and it was magical. but i'm sad they are now doing something that is less than spectacular.

Hey nice video. Do you have to be in EPCOT to do the virtual queue at 6? Or would it be available from any park as long as you have a park hopper pass?

can we look forward to videos using genie plus when the parks are full during the summer ? 🤞 love your videos btw !

Hey Rob, thanks for all the great videos. Can we ride guardians twice if we have the extended hours ( we are staying at a deluxe hotel)? thanks!!

If we stay at the Polynesian villas or the contemporary bay lake tower, do those count as well for extended evening hours? Love your videos by the way! You give me sooooo many great tips and ideas! ❤

Although we are doing a week at Poly, we are not hitting either Epcot or MK on a extended evening hours day. Oh well, we will just use your tips and tricks for the perfect day at each using Genie Plus! Cheers!

Hello! Great video, i want some advice if someone can guide me, im going mid September for very few days and want to park hop between hollywood studios first because im really a fan of starwars and then to epcot for guardians of the galaxy and the night show, but i was wondering if i want to ride guardians i have to go to epcot first?? To join de virtual queue? Im afraid if i do that then at 2pm is going to be hard to ride all the star wars attractions.. thanks very much!

Rob, would you suggest a different strategy if entering through international gateway? I’m thinking making my way around starting at Ratatouille, then hitting frozen, test track, etc in that order. Finishing with the land pavilion attractions and making my way back out.

Great stuff. Can you clarify the ‘early call’ to the virtual queue. Want to make sure I understand. The 6pm queue is only for extended evening. But it’s very possible they start calling the Q early? Like they start calling at 830??

If I was in the park prior to the extended hours and I already got to ride guardians of the galaxy, can I get to ride again?

I am travel to Disney on the 25th jan 2024 which is a low crowd level time of year I am lead to believe I just wanted to know is it worth buying Disney plus We are tend to wake early so will be doing rope drop on all parks

Can you get a VQ for guardians in the day and one for extended evening hours?

If I want to do a water park in the morning and a theme park in the afternoon, would I be able to use Genie+ efficiently? Would my first few selections likely be early morning, or is there anyway I can rack up a load of LL for entering the park in the afternoon?

If cast members only scan 1 guest to verify, how easy is it for hotel guests to “sneak” ppl in?

Where did you get those ears?!?!?! 😍 I need them

For the extended evening hours do you have to stay at the deluxe resorts directly the day before or after you visit the park or can you do it as long as you’re staying at the deluxe resort sometime during your visit? TIA I love your videos they’re very helpful for a first timer.

Quick question... will the Food and Wine festival booths be open for extended hours?

Just a quick question if you have checked out of deluxe hotel in the morning and moved to valve like pop you are still ok to use extended hours at night ? Also how do you get back to value resort as I am guessing skyline will be closed thank youn

does after hours not go unitl 1am? thanks for all you do:)

Does the Epcot Evening Hours on Monday push the parking lot hours back a couple hours (11PM park close so Midnight parking lot close) so I can stay at Hollywood Studios until it closes (10PM) before returning to Epcot?

How hard is it to get the guardians VQ for extended hours? If I try to get it right at 6?

Hi Rob are you going to do a Toy Story restaurant review

I could do 7 Spaceship earth Test track Mission Guardians Living with the land Soarin Nemo

I loved Harmonious 🥹 Thank you for doing an updated EEH!!! Love it. So helpful. We're going again in April. I'm so stoked!
