By 2 Comments

The My Disney Experience app is a fantastic tool to help you plan your Disney World vacation both before you arrive and while you’re in the parks.

Disney’s Animal Kingdom

It Just Got More EXPENSIVE to Skip the Line at Disneyland Resort

By Leave a Comment

If you’re heading to Disneyland Resort, you might be considering paying money to “skip the lines!”

Disneyland

Disneyland Resort’s skip-the-line system is called Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Lightning Lane Single Pass, and it allows you to pay per person to use the Lightning Lanes at the available attractions in the parks. Lightning Lanes will typically give you a much shorter wait time than a regular standby queue, so paying the extra cost may save you significant time during your trip…but what if that price got more expensive?

CONFIRMED: Lightning Lane Prices Have DROPPED in Disney World Today!

By 4 Comments

Paying to skip the lines in Disney World isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, but it is a great way to save time on your Disney World day.

Goodbye Genie+

We don’t recommend Lightning Lane Multi Pass (formerly Genie+) for all the parks if you’re on a multiple-day trip. Still, we definitely think it’s a must-grab if you’re trying to do all the rides you can in Magic Kingdom or Disney’s Hollywood Studios without waiting too long. If you’re in the parks today, we have great news — the prices have dropped!
