Creator's Key Takeaways

The fact that the system required people to come up with the idea of a quote unquote burn retraction, which we're going to talk about a little bit later in the Q&A, I think that is a sign that maybe Lightning Lane is not perfect.

You do not need them. You just need to have a plan.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓You don't need to buy Lightning Lanes far in advance; you can often add them the night before or even the day of.
✓Use the free Disney Genie service to pin your must-do rides to the top of your booking view.
✓For large parties, it can be harder to book popular Lightning Lanes; consider booking a 'burner' attraction to unlock the system quickly.

Feeling pressured to buy Lightning Lanes far in advance — You don't need to buy them 21, 14, or 7 days out; wait and let your vacation guide you. You can often add them the night before or day of.
Not knowing if Lightning Lanes are worth the cost — For a couple or small party, you may not need them at all. Have a plan, and you can have a great time without spending extra.
