This was so informative, thank you! If you have 4 in your party, do all 4 guests need to be tapped in to the park to make Genie* or individual lightening lane reservations?
Thanks for the video. My family is going there this summer. Good to know we have no advantage with advance purchase of the genie Doesn’t work till you enter the park.
Just to clarify, if i tap in before official park entry (let’s say 8:45 am and the park opens at 9am), do I have to wait until official opening to book anything?
Technically, you should be able to book as soon as you tap in. So if they open the gates early (which is pretty common), you will be able to start booking then. Return times won't start until official park opening, but it gives you a little head start.
Your videos are SO helpful! Maybe you have gone over this before, but with the current crowds at Disney world, would you suggest avoiding parks on the days with extended magic hours? With the park capacities now in place, I’m not sure if it even matters, but figure more people may hop into MK after 2pm, making it an even busier day. Any input or suggestions would be great!
I don't think we've noticed anything like that yet. Extended evening hours have mostly been ghost towns, so I doubt it would have much of an impact overall. Now, if you find a day when the MK closes early (like 4:30 pm) for a special event, DO NOT go the day before or day after. It will be a madhouse. You'll get more done by going on the day with the early closing because everyone avoids it.
