Hello!

And welcome to Very Amusing, your one-stop shop for the stories, secrets, and shenanigans of a popcorn-fueled

theme park journalist. I'm Carly Wiesel, and yeah, as you've probably noticed, this is not a full

episode, and I did not intend to take the holiday week off, but I just want to, I just want to let

you know how this little mish-mash gab sash came to be.. So we are doing, if you don't follow me on

Instagram, this is going to be news. But if you do, you know what I'm about to say. We are doing

full lightning laid guides. That is what I've been focusing on all week. As you remember,

back in the summer, we did kind of like Lightning Lane part one, we were going to do a part two,

and then they changed the entire system from Jeannie Plus and this Lightning Lane Multipass, yada, yada, yada.

So I'm committed to making a full-blown Lightning Lane guide to answer all your questions,

basically have you hit play and walk away with a doctorate in mastering a day at Disney.

But on Instagram, I did a poll, and I basically asked people,

do you want Disneyland and Disney World episodes to be separate? Do you want them to be combined? Because running two

Lightning Lane episodes back to back over two weeks is pretty boring. I think it's pretty

boring to be like, what's this week's episode? Oh, it's the same as last week just for another

park. So I came up with the genius idea to drop two episodes on the exact same day.

One, Lightning Lane for Disney World, one Lightning Lane for Disneyland,

so that no matter which park you want to go to, maybe you go to both resorts,

you can play them and you can know everything about Lightning Lane to either resort at the exact same time.

However, which will probably go on my tombstone one day, I bid off more than I could chew,

because Lightning Lane, as you know, is a big old mess.
