Disney just keeps making changes to their line-skipping services, and it’s hard to keep up with everything. It’s the perfect time to talk with Becky Gandillon, who studies all the updates and how they will impact your Walt Disney World trips. She is also now the co-author of the Unofficial Guide to Walt Disney World 2025, which was published in August. It’s still a great resource to stay on top of the best strategies to conquer the parks.

Becky is my guest on this episode of the Tomorrow Society Podcast to talk about all the latest from Disney. She’s back to dive into the Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Single Pass services, which replaced Disney Genie Plus. We cover the impact of the ability to book attractions in advance and how you can best maximize your days. This includes the use of “burners” and “time savers” that you experience at the start of the day so you can book more Lightning Lanes.

During this episode, we dive into the new and expensive Lightning Lane Premier Pass. It gives you more flexibility with your Lightning Lanes but for a much higher cost. Becky also describes the best ways to get the most out of the Disney Dining Plan. We close the episode with some fun questions about character dining, undervalued resorts, and Becky’s favorite of the various line-skipping services at Walt Disney World. I really enjoyed talking with Becky once again on this podcast.

These are two of the earliest Unofficial Guides from 1984 and 1985.
