Question
What are Hilary Erickson’s top recommendations for using Lightening Lanes at Disneyland?
Answer
Hilary Erickson has several recommendations for using Lightening Lanes at Disneyland:
-
Don't use Lightening Lanes with small kids: If your kids are under 32 inches (or even under 40 inches), most of the rides won't be accessible to them.
-
Purchase Lightening Lanes with your tickets: This can help you budget better and guarantees you the current price rather than a surge price if the park is busy.
-
Don't use Lightening Lanes in the mornings: Save your Lightening Lanes for when the park is busiest. You can ride your favorite attractions in the mornings when lines are shorter.
-
Know your "Ride or Die": Discuss with your family which rides you really want to do. If the park is busy, you may only get to ride some favorites.
-
Return times vary: Your return time is when the Genie says you can return to ride the ride you are selecting.
