Park Strategies

Welcome! In an effort to narrow down the plans I create and maintain for Disney Parks, I’ve added an index.

My strategies have been in development for 11 years and are tested each month in the park to ensure they’re the best information for your visit. They’re free (yay!), designed for families, and aim to limit your wait time for every attraction to 20 minutes or less (with a few exceptions).

FAQs

  • Why can’t I use the line up I found on Instagram or Facebook? – The line up of attractions you see me post on social media includes only those I got to that day. Some might have been under refurbishment. Some might have been down temporarily. And, what you find might not work for the time of year you visit, as my strategies change with the seasons.
  • Why don’t you charge for these strategies? – I don’t have to. The traffic my strategy posts bring to my site far exceeds what I would charge.
  • Why don’t you visit with characters? Do you hate Mickey Mouse? – Nope. I love him! But, I recommend you wait to see him and everyone else until later in the afternoon when most guests are standing in the 2 hour lines you avoided by following my strategy at the start of your day.
  • What’s the difference between Big Kids and Little Kids? – Big Kid plans include all attractions. Little Kid plans exclude the faster, more intimidating rides.
  • Why don’t you include Single Rider Lines? – Not all guests can use them. My strategies work for everyone.
  • Why do I need the equivalent of a bachelor’s degree to not screw up my entire day? – I wish I knew. Disney Parks are tricky right now. I’m happy to help you figure it all out.
