It's been a little while since we've done an episode on Lightning Lanes and Virtual Queues, so with the changes coming up this month, we decided to dive into a short tutorial on how these function at the Disneyland Resort. If it's your first time or your 100th, we hope you find some of these tips useful!

| 0:00.0 | Hi, I'm Katie. |
| 0:08.4 | And you're listening to Rope Drop and Park Hop. |
| 0:10.8 | And it is 100 degrees plus. |
| 0:14.1 | Yes. |
| 0:14.6 | Everywhere. |
| 0:15.1 | Yes. |
| 0:15.5 | Everywhere. |
| 0:15.9 | If you're listening, it's 100 degrees. |
| 0:17.8 | Everyone is dead. |
| 0:19.3 | We have all combusted. |
| 0:20.4 | We've all been baked. You're going to Disneyland this week. I am. You're going to bake at the happiest place on Earth. Yes. Well, it's only going to be in the high 80s there, which will feel very warm, but it's not 110. No. And I'm going to a wedding this weekend that is planned to be outdoors. I don't know if they'll pivot at all. And it's supposed to be like 109. Ooh. I thought the heat wave was going to be done by this weekend. I hope it's just a heat wave. I hope it's not like a month long thing. Right. I hope it's a quick thing and over. Me too. Before the wedding on Saturday. That would be great. Me too. Before I get back on Sunday, can we please? Yeah. Just turn it down just a little bit, please. Let's just take a quick left turn. We don't need this heat. And I have to give a disclaimer here. I typically, and I'm not complaining, it's fine. I can handle the heat. We all know how much I hate the winter. |
| 1:13.3 | Yeah. And so I try really hard not to complain about the summer. It is warm, but I will survive. And I tell myself this all the time. And actually, I'm not super bothered by it. I'm not excited to sit in it for a wedding. |
| 1:24.4 | Right. That's the problem is if you have to be outside, that's when it's really rough. Yeah. But, I don't know, maybe we'll go back down to the 90s for the rest of the summer. That would be lovely. I like the low 90s. High 80s, low 90s. Yeah, I can handle that. Yeah, which you're going to go experience this week. Congrats to you. But there's days like this when I kind of wish we had a pool. Someday. Someday. |
| 1:47.5 | All right. this week. Congrats to you. But there's days like this when I kind of wish we had a pool. |
| 1:45.5 | Someday. Someday. All right. Let's read a review. This one is from one year ago. |
| 1:52.7 | Surprise, surprise. From Lyle's 21. And they say, my favorite Disney podcast, five stars. You two are amazing. Your sweet and simple episodes give the best tips and tricks and the news segments are my fave. I've learned so many things I never knew about Disney and appreciate you guys for sharing your Disney love. Heart with stars. Thank you. Very sweet. I like emojis. I know me too. And I'm curious. I mean, we're still getting reviews now, but it's funny to kind of go back and read these reviews from a year ago. Like, were we better then? Are we getting better? I don't know. Are we worse? Sometimes we're off in the weeds too much. Sometimes we get letters for people. |
| 2:37.2 | Tell us that we're not doing things so great. They don't love some of the things that we've done. |
| 2:39.7 | It happens. |
| 2:40.4 | Not frequently, thankfully, but it happens occasionally. |
| 2:44.0 | And that's okay. |
| 2:44.8 | Yep. |
| 2:45.2 | That's okay. |
