Let's enter the Grid, Hannah! The planDisney planning grid, that is. I hope your Walt Disney World Resort vacation is racing toward some fabulous fun. Let's call up Team Blue and talk about how you can enjoy
TRON Lightcycle / Run during your visit.
Guests staying at Disney Resort Hotels can
purchase Lightning Lane Single Passes 7 days before they arrive, and TRON is an extremely popular attraction. All other guests can purchase Lightning Lane passes 3 days before they arrive. As a local, I typically have to wait until that 3-day mark to purchase, and the high-demand attractions are often already booked. But hang on to your helmet; I have some tips to try.
I hope you have another Magic Kingdom Day on the books, because my first suggestion is to keep looking for availability on your
My Disney Experience mobile app. Guests change their plans, often on the day of, and I've had good luck finding openings by checking.
Another option is to keep an eye on TRON wait times in your app. Tap "Wait Times & Show Times" on the Welcome screen, sort by Magic Kingdom Park, and scroll to see the current standby time for TRON. When you see a manageable time for your party, head that way to claim your lightcycle! I've also heard from friends that the wait time near closing is often relatively low.
If you are at Magic Kingdom after dark, I hope you catch the new
Disney Starlight: Dream the Night Away parade. The Blue Fairy and many other classic characters glow and shimmer in this gorgeous spectacle. I recently caught this parade in Town Square. It was amazing!
Hanna, I'm sending pixie dust that you'll be successfully digitized during your visit! Please stop by

Magic awaits,
