LINKS FOR THIS VIDEO: This is the latest version of the power charger that we use and show in this video. Note that we make a commission from Amazon if you purchase using the links here: https://amzn.to/3wywQxX Here's another option that is similar but more affordable because it doesn't have such a large battery. It still charges two devices at once including fast-charging via USB-C: https://amzn.to/3AscB6e ABOUT THIS VIDEO: We have spent months mastering the fine art (and navigating the headache-inducing frustrations) of Disney Genie Plus and we have come up with 27 little tidbits of knowledge will help make your next trip to Hollywood Studios, Magic Kingdom, EPCOT and/or Animal Kingdom your best trip ever (although we don't think you'll really even need the Genie for those last two...) This is essentially our "Disney Genie Plus for Dummies" video – except it's way more fun than a "for Dummies" book and – most importantly – we don't think you're a dummy. The fact that you are figuring all this stuff out before your Disney World trip makes you pretty darned smart, actually! Tips Included: How to get the best ride times and skip the lines at the best rides, how to save money with your Genie strategy, how to work around park-hopping glitches and other Genie gremlins and lots of tips to help you focus on the fun instead of the frustration! WHAT WE USE TO FILM OUR VIDEOS Note that we make a commission from Amazon if you purchase using the links here: DJI OM 5 This is like a steadicam for your phone. It keeps all your shots smooth and level, even while you are walking. Do not use on fast rides like roller coasters. Also note that this can convert to a selfie stick, but selfie sticks are not allowed in Disney Parks. This item is allowed because it is primarily a gimbal but you are not allowed to extend it. https://amzn.to/3Q56hrb RODE VIDEO MICRO This little microphone is a great, affordable way to cut down on the noise around you so people can hear your voice. Just be sure to point it at the sound you want and unplug it when you want to hear all the sound around you. https://amzn.to/3TwZxp0 COLD SHOE MOUNT ADAPTER If you want to use the DJI Om 5 and the microphone at the same time, you need one of these. https://amzn.to/3q0ViVh
