As promised this post will cover how you can possibly survive only riding standby. I know that there are times where purchasing Lightning Lane could make sense. Say when you can only visit the parks on rare or special occasions. Or if you only have a short time and want to experience as many attractions…

A major part of Grandpa’s Crushing It strategy is to ride standby. I know that this can be controversial. Disney’s line skipping offerings, Lightning Lane Multi/Single pass can save major time.

As mentioned last time, this post will out line just how Grandma and I use the “Crush” strategy. To review; Crush from Finding Nemo was a laid back sea turtle that just went with the flow. He did not fight the current but just went with it. This is the core of my Disney for…

When we went to the parks in the late 90’s when the kids were kids, we rushed around trying to do everything and ride all the rides. We stayed rope drop to close. It was exhausting, hectic, and a lot of fun. Then we started taking my dear mother-in-law with us on these trips and…
