What Creators Are Saying About Ear Scouts
Saratoga was 100% my answer. But then I got a little nervous when you said like Old Key West was a little big for them
Mike
The number one app they can't live without is Flighty. I heard this one over and over and over again.
Chris
I'm actually quite surprised by how much I like this room. It does of course come with an extra cost.
Jamie
I think something that I really want to get back to are these weekly vlogs. I think you guys really enjoy them and I want to just, you know, even if it's not a magical week
Christopher
The crew on this ship is absolutely amazing. I have met some of the nicest people in here from multiple different shops. They are just the best.

What Creators Are Saying
Selected quotes from our creator panel.
“It is by far the best after hours event I have been to at a Disney World park ever.”
“I always love that show so much that is not just the best show in Animal Kingdom that is the best show in any of the parks here at Walt Disney World”
“If you're using Lightning Lane, you are getting so much time back in your day. And doing things like this is the benefit of saving that time.”
“The fact that you can go enjoy that meal in the middle of a theme park day wearing a t-shirt and shorts, that is amazing and I'm so glad that Tiffins exists.”
“I would pick October. And it's for all the things that we said. We all talked about how all the things we liked about October.”
“the worst part of using Disney Genie plus is you got to get up so early in the morning”
“The further back you are in a coaster, the rougher the ride is. It's more exciting towards the back, but on this coaster in particular, it's a really rough on your back.”
“The fact that the system required people to come up with the idea of a quote unquote burn retraction, which we're going to talk about a little bit later in the Q&A, I think that is a sign that maybe Lightning Lane is not perfect.”
“don't panic but Disney has made some more changes to lightning Lane multipass”
“I am on my final day of covid recovery well quarantine and uh I definitely still have some Co brain”
Pro Tips From Creators
The most-shared advice for Ear Scouts.
Use the 'Genie' in the My Plans section to pin your most desired rides to the top of your view.
Balance your Lightning Lane selections between high-priority strategic rides and 'right now' rides that are nearby to minimize walking.
Use the 'tap-in tap-out' method for highly competitive rides: tap in on a less-than-ideal time to see if the system offers a better one immediately.
Take advantage of the unofficial two-hour grace period for expired Multi Pass Lightning Lanes to free up slots.
Balance outdoor attractions with indoor, air-conditioned attractions to manage heat.
Prioritize booking rides that are ranked highly in the deck as they tend to run out of Lightning Lanes earlier in the day.
If you want a less intense experience on Big Thunder Mountain, sit close to the front of the train.
Use the 'modify' feature instead of booking new ones to save time selecting party members.
