Creator's Key Takeaways

I cannot wait to hear more about it. Let's start at the beginning.

The ultimate uh compliment. So, must have gone well.

I'm always trying to convert Disney World people to be Disneyland people.

It was a really successful first ride. I wanted to get that done within about 30 minutes.

✓Pre-purchase Lightning Lane Multipass for both park days.
✓Book your first Lightning Lane as soon as you tap into the park.
