All I’m going to say is wait magic. Wait magic. wait magic. In one day, arriving late to the park, I was able to get absolutely everything done, all the rides, including buzz, just because of it. Thank God for it.

#9! So interesting! I never knew this!

Very helpful thanks! Do you suggest accepting the first times available when booking LLMP so as not to waste time, then AFTER booking go back and modify times? Would like for rides that are located physically near each other to have booking times back to back.

What about if you have a group staying at another resort but you want to book lightning lanes together? (My kids are booking at a different resort during our tri but I want to book some lightning lanes lanes together)

Hi after you buy your 3 initial lightning lanes and use one, how do you go on the app and book another one? Where in the app lets you do this please? Sorry I’m new to lightning lanes lol please help me

Do you have to actually tap into a ride to unlock the ability to book other tier I rides or do you just have to let it expire? Do you have to actually be in the park?

Your channel has been SO helpful! I remember hearing a few years back when standby skipper got popular that Disney would cancel your plans if they caught it on your account. Is that still the case? It scared me off trying it back then.

I have a party of 13 people all staying on property and booking 7 days before arrival all buying the multi pass lighting lane and single pass. But at a few parks some people are not riding the single pass rides. Would you book everyone for everything during that window at 7am and then just do the chat later to request a refund on the single rides?

If I only plan to use wait magic to modify times before I go on my trip like the week leading up after booking LLs 7 days out , which subscription length would be best for wait magic? (using SS in the parks)

Also MANY thanks for all your content.

Awesome tips. Question. On check in day, if mom and dad have dinner reservations at disney springs (for 2 people) and the teenagers (4 different people) are going to magic kingdom, will the system allow multipasses be booked for just the teens during that time?

We have always used Standy By, and want to try wait magic for our next trip, I know there is not an app, any tips for setting it up? Or did you find it hard to figure out? ✨

I haven’t tried a burner yet and I’m thinking that, if I wasn’t actually going to use it, I might want a burner that’s on the way to my rope drop ride. But there’s no LL during early entry, right? So, if using early entry, I would book the burner for a ride that is convenient to where I’ll be at park opening. ???

With the multi experience pass, in your example, let's say I go and ride Pirates since haunted mansion is down. Can I still ride haunted mansion as LL automatically when the ride is back up, or do I need to rebook a LL for haunted mansion?
