MagicBand+!
We know you know about the fun interactions you can have with the 50th Anniversary character statues and living your best bounty-hunting life over at Galaxy’s Edge in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. But, did you know that your MagicBand+ can even interact with rides?! That’s right! They can do that. Let’s go over the rides you can interact with!
There are over 20 rides and attractions in Magic Kingdom, and it’s basically impossible to visit every single one in one day. So how do you know which ones to prioritize?

We’ve been on every Magic Kingdom ride LOTS of times, so we can tell you exactly which ones are worth the wait! [Read more…]
It’s true.
It’s time for Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party!
One of the BEST parts of attending one of Disney World’s special-ticketed after hours event is being able to ride all the rides with shorter waits and a little bit of extra magic. We attended the first Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party of the year on November 9th, so we were checking out all things hip and happening. One thing that we had been looking forward to was being able to ride the recently-added TRON: Lightcycle / Run ride during the holiday party. Disney announced in the summer that the virtual queue (VQ) for the ride would be available during both Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party and Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party in 2023. We were able to use the VQ throughout the Halloween season, but will it be easy and seamless to use for the holidays? Let’s see!
If you’re going to Disney World in 2024, the time to start planning is NOW! Don’t worry — we’re here to help.

We’ve already talked about the hard-to-get hotel reservations and which restaurants you should prioritize when making your dining plans, but now we’ve got to bring up Disney World RIDES. Many guests choose to use Disney Genie+ in order to skip the standby lines on certain rides and avoid those long wait times. If you plan to use Genie+, you need to know which Lightning Lane reservations fill up the quickest so that you don’t miss out on your favorite rides! [Read more…]
Okay, so let’s chat about Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party. We came, we saw, we ate, we conquered.
Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party Map
There was a LOT going on with the first party, and we are WIPED. But we’re going to grab some caffeine and talk to you about some of the things we think you need to know if you’re headed to one of the parties soon. So let’s talk about some important warnings so you’re not surprised when you go to the party.
HOLD UP! If you’re looking to get on one of Disney World’s newest attractions, things might not be as easy as you expect.
TRON Lightcycle / Run at night!
TRON Lightcycle / Run is the newest coaster to open in Magic Kingdom, but you can’t just walk on it. During regular park hours, the ride is ONLY accessible via a virtual queue or Individual Lightning Lane (a.k.a. there is NO standby line). Does that change at all during Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party? What rules do you need to follow if you want to get on this ride during the spookiest party at Disney World? We’re breaking it all down for you.
Oookay, friends… You may have joined us as we’ve ranked the rides in each of Disney World’s theme parks: Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Disney’s Animal Kingdom and Disney’s Hollywood Studios.

Besides doing every ride, we’ve used Genie+ and Individual Lightning Lanes dozens of times in the parks, which means that we have quite a bit of experience with handling those systems. That’s why, today, we’re here to tell you about the BEST Individual Lightning Lane in Disney World…and we’ve got proof.
So you managed to snag a Virtual Queue for TRON Lightcycle / Run.

Congrats! You’re on your way to entering the grid. You’ll soon be racing through eight Energy Gates to claim a victory against the menacing Team Orange. And, with a Virtual Queue, you won’t have to wait in a standby line, so you’ll be able to breeze right through to the ride once your group is called — right? Well, not exactly.
