Loving the Ear Scout content, we are heading to WDW in mid to late September we have a 7 day pass
We are looking at doing
Monday afternoon at Hollywood Studios to get our bearings as well as using the app and doing the fireworks
Wednesday Magic Kingdom
Friday animal kingdom and at night not so scary Mickey Halloween
The following Monday Tuesday Hollywood and Epcot.
We are a group of 8
Any suggestions on how to tackle or change it up: Tues and Thurs are booked with other parks and we are going to the Tampa eagles game on Saturday
Is there a 2024 updated guide coming out
For Hollywood Studios, if you're going to stack lightning lanes for later on, my advice would be you should still go for Slinky Dog at 7am. If you wait much later they will likely have sold out. You'll still be able to modify it to a later time once you have it. I've never been in September, but that's certainly my experience of it when we went.
For the others you should be fine for LLs for later in the day, just follow what is done in the videos and look at which ride is showing the latest time and book that one next.
If you're intending on doing Rise of the Resistance then your options would be to just hit the standby queue and accept the wait, or go for an ILL. If you're staying on Disney property then you may as well book the ILL after you've got Slinky Dog at 7am and choose the time you want. If you're not staying on property then you can book the ILL at park opening time.
Are you intending to use Genie+ on your trip or not? That will likely dictate how you approach it.
Rob said he is bringing out a new video about larger groups soon, so sounds like that will be of use to you!
