Couples who'd rather spend the day together than in line
The usual worries, and what happened that day
“We don't want a date spent in line”
Even the longest line was just 50 min
22 of the 25 rides took 15 minutes or less.
“What if we miss the rides we came for?”
Enchanted Tale of Beauty and the Beast, Big Thunder Mountain, Haunted Mansion: rode them all
“Rope drop, most popular first” got all of them too.
“Can we have a proper meal?”
Lunch and breaks built in from the start
60 min at 12:46, 30 min at 14:30.
“What if the day doesn't go to plan?”
It re-plans after every ride, so you're covered
We didn't stick to the morning plan. It's the same way you'd use the planner on the day.

Your turn
Four things to do before you go
- 11–2 months before

Build and save this route
It opens with the settings below already in. Just pick your date. Save it and it's ready on the day.
- ・Opening to closing

You'll walk a lot from opening to closing

Check for anything forgotten, and add to Home Screen

Good to know for this day
How we tested
- On that day, at the entry time, we built the same plan the route planner would, using only the real posted waits up to that time and the forecast after it.
- After each ride we re-planned from the time, place and rides left. Waits are what the app showed when we joined the line.
- The comparison uses the same day, rides, meals, walking speed and posted waits.
- The day shown is the middle day of those we tested, not the best one.
Popular rides: those averaging 40+ minutes from September 20 to 30, 2026. Small rides add to the count too, so we show both.
