Anyone going alone who wants to ride a lot at their own pace
The usual worries, and what happened that day
“I don't want to stand in line for hours”
Even the longest line was just 1h 30m
17 of the 24 rides took 15 minutes or less.
“What if we miss the rides we came for?”
3 of the 4 must-rides
Enchanted Tale of Beauty and the Beast was paused when we got there at 20:33. “Rope drop, most popular first” got all of them too.
“What if the restaurants are packed at lunch?”
Lunch and breaks built in from the start
20 min at 15:10.
“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
Pick a quieter day
Star the days you could go and Suki points out the best one, with a reason. On quieter days, every line tends to be shorter.
Open the crowd calendar › - 21–2 weeks 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
- ・Solo (a quick walker)
- ・Must ride: Beauty and the Beast, Big Thunder, Splash Mountain, Haunted Mansion
- 31 week before
Make a packing list
For this route, these make the day easier. Tap to add them to your packing list (you stay on this page). Suki adds weather items on the list page.
Open the packing list › - 4The day before
Check for anything forgotten, and add to Home Screen
The day before, Suki asks “forgetting anything?” on your packing list. Add the site to your Home Screen from the button at the top so it opens fast on the day.
Open the packing list ›Forgetting anything? Have one more look before bed.

- 2
Tap “Rode it” after each ride

- 3
Long break? Tap “Update”
Rested, watched a parade: wherever you are, it re-plans the rest of your time.
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.
