food IS a theme park
Disney World’s Lightning Lane system is an optional, paid service that allows you to bypass the regular standby line at several attractions throughout the parks.

The service has gone through many phases and had multiple names, but for the most part, it’s a pretty efficient way of avoiding those long lines that can plague Disney World rides. So, imagine our surprise when we ran into a bit of a glitch when booking Lightning Lane Multi Pass recently!

Now look, we love getting to see Disney World wait times in real-time no matter where we are in the world, and we love that we can Mobile Order our food ahead of time from so many different quick-service spots, and make reservations for table-service dining. But sometimes the app glitches, big time, and that’s caused some MAJOR problems for our readers on Facebook, so here’s how you can be prepared!

We’ve seen the My Disney Experience app crash and cause issues multiple times in the past, whether that meant Mobile Order wasn’t working or that people ran into issues with pulling up their tickets and passes.

Extensive health and safety regulations were introduced which affected everything from dining to character interactions. The changes were implemented with limited capacity and physical distancing in mind. Disney has been subtly updating these changes over the last few months but there are still a few glitches that many guests have encountered. We’ve compiled a list of things that Disney World should change and how you can navigate the experiences for the time being.
