A good strategy is to start with your priorities, alternate between strong emotions and calm experiences, and reserve time to explore Cars Land, Pixar Pier, and the nighttime show.
01 · Choose your must-see events
I’ve defined three or four essential attractions for your group. Radiator Springs Racers, Guardians of the Galaxy, and Incredicoaster can attract a lot of demand; check their wait times in the app.
02 · Rate Lightning Lane
Radiator Springs Racers is offered as a Single Pass, while other attractions participate in Multi Pass. Check availability and conditions before booking.
