Creator's Key Takeaways

I will tell you the thing that stressed me out the most was Space Mountain. That's really rough, really jerky.

Pop Century, in our opinion, is the best bang for the buck because you get the Skylliner, direct buses, and relatively inexpensive pricing.

So, it's better if you can get a Lightning Lane and then you can do something else at rope drop and then go later without the busyiness of the uh rope drop crowds.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Go to the Disney World website, not the app, to check operating hours for rides, restaurants, etc.
✓For festivals, expect busier evenings on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays due to locals.
✓Use a gift card to pay for Lightning Lane purchases to avoid card flags from multiple transactions.
✓Prioritize Remy's over Frozen for Lightning Lane as it's more popular and harder to get.
✓For Halloween party parade viewing, the hub near the ice cream shop offers views of parade, stage show, and fireworks.

Back issues on rides — Guardians is smooth and not jostling; work up from smoother rides like Seven Dwarfs Mine Train.
Crowd levels during festivals — Evenings on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays are busier due to locals; ride strategy may not be affected.
