Tips For a Great Start to Your Disney World Day with Virtual Queues, Genie Plus and Lightning Lanes

if you're using Disney Genie plus here at Walt Disney World there can be a whole lot of stuff you got to do right at 7am you might be wondering how in the world am I going to do all these things well my friends in today's video we're going to show you let's go do it [Music] hi ho everybody this is Rob with ear Scouts coming to you from Disney's Boardwalk in we're actually on vacation this week right now we're probably enjoying Sunny Arizona but I wanted to give you guys a quick video while we were away so you didn't have to wait too long for our next video to come out today's video we're going to be answering a question that we get asked a ton in the comments especially the ones about Disney Genie plus and that is Rob you say I gotta do this at 7am I also got to do that at 7am how do I do all this stuff I supposedly got to do right at 7am especially if I'm just one person well we're gonna answer that in today's video but first I am starving and we are here at Disney's Boardwalk Inn because it is the location of my favorite place to have breakfast in all of Walt Disney World let's grab a seat along the boardwalk at Trattoria al Forno [Music] I actually think Trattoria al Forno is the best kept secret for Disney table service breakfast number one it is a great value I'm gonna get al Forno eggs which is one of my favorite breakfast dishes in all Disney World it's gonna be 15 bucks I have an annual pass holder discount you could also get a discount if you were DVC or a cast member that's going to bring you down to 13 bucks and change for a table service breakfast that is delicious at Disney World and look at this view if you've never had al Forno eggs before it's a really unique dish our server told us it's actually quite common in Italy sadly I have adventure to Italy yet but it's basically some sausage some egg some fresh tomato sauce and then they give you this crusty bread to dip it it just all comes together to be this heavenly mix of Italian flavors also they have an amazing amazing iced coffee that you can only get here our waiter actually just shared the secret to what makes this iced coffee so good I'm telling you it is the best iced coffee you're gonna have at Disney World so the way that they do this first they have their own specially roasted beans here at Trattoria al Forno that are specifically roasted for making this coffee they start by making a regular brewed batch of coffee then they pour that coffee into a French press with those freshly roasted beans so it's basically getting brewed twice then they pour that over sweet cream with espresso flavored syrup so it has got so much bold coffee flavor it is Heavenly it's sweet it's creamy it's delicious this is my favorite today's video is all about how to have the perfect start to your Disney World day and while Trattoria al Forno is the perfect way to start any day it's actually not what this whole video is about one of the things we get asked a lot in the comments of all of our different Genie videos people say Rob you're telling me that right at 7am on the dot I've got to get in there and I've got to book my very first lightning Lane but then you also said over in that video about Guardians of the Galaxy that right at 7am on the dot I've got to get my virtual boarding group for Guardians and by the way I read online that if I'm staying at a Disney Resort that means I can book my very first individual attraction lightning Lane at 7am on the dot how can I possibly do all of these things all of the exact same moment well the short answer of course is that you cannot do it all yourself you can however delegate one or more of those tasks to other people if you've got other folks in your group but let's assume for right now that you don't have any help you've got to do this all by yourself how do you prioritize these things well the best way to think about it is what are the largest number of people going to be aiming for at the same time because that's the thing you've got to focus on first that's the thing that is going to disappear the quickest in this case that's going to be the virtual boarding group right now the virtual boarding group is for Guardians of the Galaxy my guess is that when Tron opens over at Magic Kingdom in April it's gonna move over there but for right now we're doing Guardians we're gonna talk about Guardians just know if you're here after April it's probably going to be Tron at Magic Kingdom but right at 7 A.M every single person who is going into the park with the virtual queue right now Epcot is going to be aiming for that virtual boarding group like pretty much everybody so they're all going to be focused on that one ride that's going to make that the number one target that you need to be focused on the second thing you want to focus on is your genie plus lightning Lane the reason for that is lots more people are going to have Genie plus that are going to be staying at a Disney hotel and want to get an individual attraction lightning Lane for the ride you're trying to book so with Genie plus it's not quite as competitive as getting the virtual boarding group because of course it's spread across all the different rides everybody's not aiming for that one but still it is super competitive especially for rides like Peter Pan's flight at Magic Kingdom or Slinky Dog dash at Hollywood Studios if you're aiming for one of those big rides which you probably should be those are going to go super super quick so you'll definitely want to get that at 7am so if it's just you and you're doing all of this by yourself you're going to want to start number one by getting that virtual boarding group number two you're going to get your genie plus lightning Lane and number three if you're trying to get an individual attraction lightning Lane you'll be fine to do that after you set up the first two there's not really a huge mad rush on that because it's a much more limited group of people so if you watch lots of our videos you probably already know how you're going to set up Disney Genie plus so that you are ready to play what I like to call the Disney Genie slots are right there at 7 A.M I want to tell you about things you can do the night before that will get you prepared so that you don't have quite so much to do first thing in the morning number one you probably want to go ahead and have your payment information on file if you're going to be purchasing Disney Genie plus having a credit card stored in the app is going to make that process a little bit quicker so all you need to do to do this go into your profile from the main menu and then inside your profile there's a place where you can add your credit card information and store that so that it is ready to go when you want to buy Disney Genie Plus or maybe you want to buy an individual traction lightning Lane that's where you can put that in there and be all set the other thing that you're going to want to set up the night before is your friends and family list this is basically where you're going to have everybody that you're going to ride rides with book virtual boarding groups with if you're going to do something with somebody in the next day you want to go ahead the night before and make sure that they are all in your friends and family list so this is actually a tab in that same profile you'll see friends and family if you don't see the person that you want to add to your list just go ahead to that friends and family Tab and then you're going to see a button that says add a guest tap on that and there's a few different ways you can do it honest honestly the easiest way if they have My Disney Experience they have an account already and they are with you you can scan their linking code so just tap on that for scan linking code it'll give you instructions for how to do that but basically you just scan something on their phone and voila you are linked up the other thing I do like to do the night before is I like to go ahead number one make sure all my devices are charged up and number two I like to make sure that my bag is all packed so that I have to think about that first thing in the morning and likely forget something the number one thing I always always have in my Disney bag is this guy this is one of those power Banks we'll put a link in the description down below to the one that we use it's an anchor what I love about this one it's got two ports on it and one of them is a USBC fast charging port love this guy and it is invaluable especially if you're using Disney Genie Plus you are all set now for your perfect Disney World day we're gonna actually start our perfect Disney World Day by riding Guardians of the Galaxy we're gonna leave you with some
