Creator's Key Takeaways

We are certainly rope droppers and have been for 20 years, but I know that doesn't suit everyone.

It was very easy to book Lightning Lanes for this trip. Very even easier than usual.

Overall, we both loved it. Obviously, it's, you know, a special thing, not something we do every trip, but I think, you know, in a few years, would we go back? Yes.

I thought it was a lot of fun because you didn't have to be in the sun.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Use Standby Skipper to book Lightning Lanes efficiently, especially with the 2-hour grace period.
✓Consider a later arrival strategy if you prefer sleeping in and avoiding rope drop.
✓Use mobile ordering for meals to save time, especially during summer crowds.
✓For grocery delivery, Kroger is a cost-effective and convenient option at Disney World.
