Rise of the Resistance has a short wait time usually around 9-9:45.

Don’t pay for water. Bring a reusable water bottle and get ice water from a quick service restaurant. It’s FREE!

I just posted a reel about the Magic Key Terrace, exclusive to Magic Key holders and their guests. It's the best spot to cool down with beautiful views in DCA!

Enter through the downtown Disney/ hotel entrance and take the monorail into Disney

Make time for breaks, non ride activities, mobile order, and don’t forget your reusable water bottle.

Eat while waiting in line for a ride. Why sit down at a table when you could be scooting through a line eating a hand-held food item?

I only go Jan- April (maybe May depending on heat). Only go Mon-Wed. Uber there (I live close by). Check the Anaheim convention center calendar to make sure no major events are taking place around the time I plan to go. (Cheer competition was the absolute WORST, wait times were brutal I heard). Check OC & LA school district calendars for spring break weeks. Also look up “ski week” for other school districts. Check when food & wine festival happens (to avoid those dates). Seems like a lot, but I legit cannot do the heat, wont go during the weekend or holidays as it’s not worth my money to wait around that much w/crazy crowds. And of course, the lightning pass which is becoming less and less worth it sadly, but you won’t catch me waiting more than 40 mins for a ride lol 😆 also, rope drop in the morning.

If you're a Magic Key Holder (or with one) and you have little ones that take naps, head over to the Magic Key Terrace with the kids napping in the stroller for a quieter, less crowded space and enjoy some drinks. We've never been turned away when just walking up without a reservation. The watermelon lime seltzer is my fave ❤️
