Put a Disney expert In your pocket

It was supposed to be a magical vacation. A time to really play with your kids or your friends. RideSpy is like putting a Disney Expert in your pocket. You will join a WhatsApp group that is monitored by a Disney expert to help you on your day.

Avoid Crisscrossing the Park

It is a huge bummer to cross the park to get to an attraction just to realize the ride is down. Popular rides can be down multiple times in a day. With RideSpy you are alerted before you spend 15 minutes walking across a park.

While you can get this information on the Disney App, it is easy to forget to check before heading to each attraction, or a ride could go down as you walk to it. With RideSpy, you are sent text messages to alert you as soon as we detect a ride has gone down.

Anticipate Longer Standby Times

In general, Disney will let 15-30 Lightning Lane guests into an attraction for each standby guest. The standby lane will go even slower if a ride has been down multiple times as there will be people who had lightning lanes while the ride was down. These guests will enter the queue later in the day, which results in slower standby times and longer wait later in the day.

This means that the TikTok trick of getting into line at the end of the day could backfire.

Plan Your Lightning Lanes

If you hold a lightning lane while an attraction is down, you can come back at any time later in the day.

Knowing this can better help you to efficiently plan your wait times for other rides.

You can save your lighting lane for a later part of the day. Focusing on the rides that currently have a shorter wait time. This helps shorten your overall number of minutes in line in the parks.

A Chance To Catch Shorter Line Times

After a ride has been down for more than 20 minutes, many guests in line will have left, and no new guests will have entered the queue. This means the line will be significantly shorter than if the ride had remained in operation. You only have a very small window to catch these opportunities. Once a ride is back up, many other parkgoers savvy to this strategy will be heading to the attraction, and the line can become even longer than before the ride went down. That is why you can't only rely on checking the Disney App for this particular strategy.

How much does it cost?

You have impeccable timing. Right now we are testing the beta version of Ride Spy so it is completely free to use if you are visiting the park in the next 30 days.

While we are currently taking on beta-testers we will be limiting RideSpy to the first 250 people, per Disney Park per day that sign up for use.

It is estimated that there are about 50,000 guests at Disneyland alone per day. This means only a small number of people will be alerted when the rides go up, so you can board your favorite attractions even faster.
