Fastpass+
Disney allows 3 Fastpass+ per day per park in advance. This can all be reserved through the app. Also once on vacation, when you are in line for the last attraction, check out what other Fastpass+ options are open as you are now eligible to grab one at a time. However, only after the 3 are used, if you have any Fastpass+ booked later in the day it will tie up your ability to get more until this is used. Also know, you can change FastPass+/cancel at any time, from the app.
Check Wait Times
Not using a Fastpass+? No problem, open the park map to see wait times for attractions and characters. This is an easy way to check if the line is worth the wait.
