Thanksgiving week is officially here.
Thanksgiving Feast Time!
Usually around the holidays, we see higher crowds in the parks and this year is turning out to be no different! With more people comes high wait times. But it might also affect the way that you get those Lightning Lane passes.
This morning, crowds getting into the parks were pretty wild! People were lined up really far back to get into the parks. We could tell it was going to be a busy day especially if you want to get on any rides.
It was a very busy morning!
We noticed right away that Lightning Lanes were in high demand so people could bypass the lines. Even with the highest prices for Genie+ we’ve seen in a long time, Lightning Lanes were still being grabbed. But this demand wasn’t only for Genie+ and Lightning Lanes. We also saw that Individual Lightning Lanes were selling fast!
Tron Lightcycle / Run Individual Lightning Lane line
Individual Lightning Lanes are for rides that are in high demand such as Tron Lightcycle / Run, Rise of the Resistance, and Flight of Passage. And this morning, the Monday before Thanksgiving, these three ride’s Individual Lightning Lanes had completely sold out by the time we had checked early this morning!
Rise of the Resistance Entrance
This means that if you’re in the parks this week for Thanksgiving and hoping to get one of these Individual Lightning Lanes, you’ll need to be quick on the draw! We suggest you be ready to purchase these right away in the morning.
Flight of Passage
Holidays in the parks can get a little wild, so make sure you’re prepared! If you’re hoping to ride some of these bigger, more popular rides, you’ll need to be FAST.
