Disney World Lines - Save time & money

Disney World Lines is designed to help you maximize both your time and budget while visiting Walt Disney World. As independent travel writers, we provide insights that you won't find elsewhere, from actual waiting times for attractions to which park tends to be less crowded during your visit.

Our tools for planning Disney trips have been highlighted in various media outlets such as USA Today, the New York Times, FOX News, and many other newspapers, magazines, television programs, and radio broadcasts. Since 1986, we’ve assisted over 3 million families in arranging their vacations to Walt Disney World.

The features include:

- Real wait times at every attraction, compared with Disney's posted times, so you'll know exactly how long you'll be waiting based on our observations and the experiences of countless families.

- New recommendations for “Ride Now” or “Wait to Ride,” giving you an idea of whether wait times are increasing or decreasing for your favorite attractions.

- Personalized step-by-step touring plans tailored for each Disney park. You can specify the rides you'd like to experience, and LINES will develop a detailed itinerary indicating the best times to visit each attraction in order to minimize wait times. Adjustments to your plans can even be made while you're exploring the park!

- A Crowd Calendar that predicts how busy each park is expected to be over the next ten days.

- Unlike Disney's official app, which may not list wait times for many attractions or character interactions, LINES provides wait information for a wider array of rides, shows, and meet-and-greets.

- Engage with our online community of 120,000 Disney enthusiasts to ask questions and receive prompt answers.

- Comprehensive menus and pricing details for every dining option, kiosk, food stand, and cart throughout Walt Disney World – totaling over 12,000 food items! Menus can be searched, allowing you to locate specific dishes like steak in EPCOT or throughout the resort.
