Find yourself a man who handles the Lightning Lane so you can just show up and enjoy the day. 🎒

We did not spend that kind of money to ride just a few rides. My husband treats Lightning Lane like a part-time job.

Here’s exactly how he stacks them πŸ‘‡
(save this before your next trip)

⏰ The afternoon stacking strategy:
β†’ Book your first Lightning Lane the second the park opens
β†’ Once you redeem it, immediately book the next one
β†’ After 1pm, wait times drop AND you can stack 2-3 in a row
β†’ The sweet spot is 2-5pm β€” lines are longest, LL is shortest
β†’ Always book rides that have the longest standby wait first
β†’ Check the app constantly β€” cancelled reservations open up

πŸ’‘ Other tactics we swear by:
β†’ Mobile order lunch for 11:30am before the rush hits
β†’ Rope drop the rides with NO Lightning Lane first
β†’ Use the Disney app to track wait times in real time
β†’ Book your LL for the ride you’re currently ON so no time is wasted
β†’ On slower days, Individual Lightning Lane is sometimes not worth it β€” check wait times first

If this helped you, follow along β€” I share luxury kid-friendly travel tips that actually work so your family trips feel less chaotic and way more worth it. 🌍

POV: you said yes to the drive πŸ”οΈ

One of the most scenic drives in the US β€” and the wildlife makes it unforgettable.

🦌 What to look for:
β€’ Moose near Oxbow Bend (early morning)
β€’ Bison grazing along the road
β€’ Bears active spring through fall
β€’ Elk at dawn & dusk

Go at sunrise for the best chance of spotting them β€” and always keep your distance 🐾

Save this for your Jackson Hole and Grand Tetons trip! 🌲

The only airport in America inside a National Park β€” and it`s in Jackson Hole. πŸ”οΈ

If you`re planning a Jackson Hole trip with your kids β€” save this. You`re going to want to come back to it.

And if you want more family travel that actually feels like an experience β€” follow along. We`re just getting started.
