A trip to Walt Disney World is often a dream come true for families, friends, and couples who plan their magical vacations. But with that dream comes the reality of long lines and busy parks, especially during the peak seasons. Thankfully, Disney offers a solution designed to make park experiences smoother and more efficient called Lightning Lanes, which I highly recommend you use during your magical stay.
Lightning Lanes are an additional purchase that can be made for your vacation. If they fit your budget, they can be such a great add-on to your trip optimizing your time spent in lines. Lightning Lanes give you the access to plan ahead and skip the longer stand by lines. They will maximize your park time, spending less time in line and more time with your family or friends in the park. They help reduce stress by allowing you to pre-plan and reduce the stress of last minute decisions first thing in the morning. And the biggest one of all, they give family’s with kids more freedom in their day. After all, what mom or dad finds it magical to be stuck in a long line with their littles.
Planning your Lightning Lanes ahead of time, and knowing how the system works, is key to your park day success. It’s important to know things like – which ride will sell out first, which rides do I not necessarily need these for, and which rides can I get later in the day – will guide your day. Using your travel agent’s expertise will advance your knowledge and help set you up to be a Lightning Lane pro!
