Heigh-Ho friends....
I am VERY experienced (thanks to Ear Scouts) with Genie+, 7am world clock, refreshing, and the whole process. BUT, I do need some advice on my next trip (arrival day this Friday) regarding stacking LL's for a mid-late afternoon arrivel. I'm very comfortable getting LL's and modifying them (playing the slots) on my own but I could use some help with these logistics :-)
NOTES
We (2 people) are coming from Central Time Zone
~5:00-7:30pm = EPCOT (park opens at 9am)
~8:00-10:00pm = HS (9:50pm reservation at Olga's)
My specific question applies to the Genie+ LL #3 while stacking see below.
5:30am CT: Buy Genie+, Set up Regular My Genie Day, Set-up Standby Skipper
6:00am CT (from home):
Genie+ LL #1 = Remy (modify like crazy until I can get it to 5-6pm range)
ILL Guardians for 5-6pm
ILL Rise for ~8:30 range
10am CT (from airport) = Genie+ LL #2 Test Track (2 hours after 9am EST park open, then. modify to later)
10:45am CT: Flight Departs
1:00 EST: Genie+ LL #3 = MMRR, Smuggler's Run or Tower of Terror. We will be in the air on an airline with no WiFi and we don't have anyone else who can log-in and grab the 3rd LL for the stack. I have purchased Standby Skipper because we'll be in the air.
What kind of search should I set-up at 5:30am on Standby Skipper? Keep in mind we will only be at HS from around 8-10pm. It doesn't HAVE to be SR or ToT but I just want something booked at HS right at 1:00pm EST.
Should I book LL #1 and #2 on my own and THEN set up the Standby Skipper search before we take off?
Any other advice?
We obviously want to be as efficient as possible. I hate lines and am willing to pay for efficiency.
2:21pm EST: Flight Lands, Uber to Pop Century.
3:00 EST: Genie+ LL #4 = Something else at HS that's available (book in Uber).
~4:00pm: Room key Direct-to-Room, On Skyliner by 5pm hopefully.
Any thoughts are appreciated! I love the EarScouts community!
i don't have any standby skipper experience either - I feel like it's best for folks who have done less research (you seem to have done yours) but in your case it really might payoff to get something booked during your flight. However, if it were me for option #3 i would either do MMRR or ToT based on your ride preferences, may be hard to do both in such a short time frame (i feel like the line for MMRR tends to be longer since it's little kid friendly and newer so maybe go for that one?). Part of my reasoning is that I think you can keep an eye on the wait time for SR and hope in when there might be a shorter wait. Also, since it's just the 2 of you, you can go into the single rider line for SR and will likely be put in a group together as gunners. You could get split up but the single rider line usually is super short so it's worth doing to skip the line i think!
