Today, we'll have Crystal's recent Disney World Trip with her family.

0:03.4

That's coming up on this episode 502 of DeRey Prop to Go.

0:27.9

We talk strategy and ideas and have lots and lots of trip reports.

0:31.1

For people planning their Disney World trips, I am your host, Shannon Aller, from wDW PrepSville.com.

0:36.1

Today is another trip report. This time it is with Crystal,

0:39.8

who recently visited Disney World with her family and her trip included using the Dasbass.

0:45.3

So if that is something that is of interest to you, you may learn a bit today. But even if it's

0:50.7

not of interest to you, I came away with a handful of tidbits that were

0:55.8

helpful to me, so maybe they will be for you as well. As usual, I wanted to remind you

1:00.7

to follow in social media. We're posting, we go live on YouTube and Facebook every day,

1:04.9

Monday through Thursday at 10 a.m. Eastern 9 a.m. Central. And we're posting social media stuff, Instagram reels, carousels, you get it.

1:14.5

So we've got lots of stuff going out. And if you're following, it can be more of a two-way street

1:19.0

because I feel like I'm talking at you. But when we're on social media, we get to interact more.

1:23.0

So be sure that to find us over there. I also wanted to tell you that we just created a lightning

1:29.1

lane calculator tool. It's a tool that allows you to estimate what you are going to pay

1:34.6

for lighting lanes for your trip. And this is something I've been wanting for a little while,

1:40.6

and so I'm excited that we're able to create it because I think that it can be

1:44.8

super confusing and shocking to see that amount when you are booking your lighting lane seven days out.

1:50.9

And being able to see the total now before your chip can be helpful to figure out what you even

1:55.8

want to buy. So for instance, if the total is way more than you were budgeted for, maybe you play around with the tool to figure out, do I really need In One Kingdom? Do I really need all the single pass lighting lanes, et cetera? And you can kind of toggle the things on and off and figure out which one you want to actually pay for. So I'm going to lead to that in the description, but or you can

2:18.5

Google, you know, Debbie J. Repet, letting the link calculator and you'll find it as well. So that was just

2:23.0

launched. And so Pete, please be sure to check it out if you want to help with the budget for your
