Description

LINES will help you save time and money during your Disneyland trip. Because we’re independent travel writers, we can tell you what Disney can’t, from actual waits in line, to which park will be less crowded every day of your trip. LINES features include: -Both Disney’s currently posted wait time at every attraction and how long you’ll REALLY wait in line, based on our experience and that of thousands of families on the same ride. -New “Ride Now” and “Wait to Ride” recommendations to show whether waits are going up or down at your favorite rides. -Customized step-by-step touring plans for both Disneyland and Disney California Adventure. You tell LINES which rides you want to see, and LINES will create a step-by-step itinerary showing when to go to each ride to avoid long lines. You can even change your plans while you’re in the park! -A Crowd Calendar showing you how busy each park will be over the next ten days. -Disney’s official app doesn’t show you the waits for many attractions or character greetings. LINES has wait times for more rides, shows, and character greetings than even Disney’s own app. -See which rides still have FASTPASS ride reservations for the rest of the day. This is incredibly useful if you’re trying to plan your afternoon and evening, if you want to know whether FASTPASS is available at Splash Mountain after your nap, or if trying to decide which park to go to after dinner. -Ask questions and get fast answers from our online community of 120,000 Disney experts. -Menus and prices for every restaurant, kiosk, food stand, and cart in all of Disneyland Resort – more than 6,000 things to eat! Every menu is searchable – you can find every steak in California Adventure or throughout the parks, Downtown Disney, and the official Disneyland Resort Hotels! Our Disney trip planning tools have been featured in USA Today, the New York Times, FOX News and dozens of other newspapers, magazines, television and radio shows. Since 1986, we’ve helped more than 3 million families plan their Disney vacations. Note: Some LINES features, such as the crowd calendar and wait times, require an in-app subscription purchase to access. Other LINES features, such as customized touring plans, menus, and viewing chat forums, are completely free. Your in-app subscription includes 365 days of access to TouringPlans.com, the Web’s most popular subscription-based site for Disney trip planning.

  • Disneyland time estimates are way off

    By wpl1138
    We just completed three days at Disneyland Resort. I created a plan for each day, but in the end I found that the estimate of how busy the parks would be and the estimated times for getting through attractions was so unrealistic that I abandoned their plan and really just used the app as a checklist. I don’t know if it’s because of the summer holiday season, or because Independence Day is next week, but the crowds were much heavier than the app accounted for. We were begging the planned schedule before we completed the first attraction each day, and standby wait times far exceeded what the plan estimated, so the plan quickly became useless. Also, there are bugs in that the app would not accept lightning lane return times when I could enter them, and you cannot enter a lightning lane return time if the plan did not recommend getting one, which was another factor in having to abandon the plan.
  • Great Data, Embarrassing UI

    I’m a big Lines fan and have used them for many Disney World and Disneyland trips. The data is amazing and the community is helpful. That said, please please please update the UI for the Disneyland app. It’s embarrassingly outdated and it’s even else when compared to the newly updated and refreshed WDW app. I know the DLR community isn’t as not as the WDW but refreshing the app is essential to growing usage because at this point new users wouldn’t give the app the time of day based on interface alone.
  • Estimates way off

    I’ve used the lines app for the past 4 vacations when visiting the Disneyland Resort since 2017. In my past trips the estimated crowd calendar as well as ride wait times were eerily accurate. On my last trip in March 2022 the crowd calendar was off, I assumed it was a fluke. This past week, March 2024, I had planned our dates around low crowd calendar dates. However, actual crowd data showed our dates were actually an 8 & 9 not the 4 & 6 we planned on. Also, with very few exceptions, the ride wait times were much higher than listed in the app. I love planning touring plans, but don’t know that I will continue to do so with this app as it’s proven very inaccurate.
  • Ruined my Genie Plus vacation.

    This app recommends VERY inefficient use of fastpasses and rides when there’s an early morning, making it impossible to use the best fastpasses. Instead of using their advice, get the very most popular fastpasses first.
  • Genie+ queues ruined the predictability

    With Disney over prioritizing Genie+ lines, the algorithm needs to be updated for the standby estimates. I compare the published times and the expected times and the published are typically more accurate. The app used to work fairly well. But more recently 2023 the estimated wait times are not even close for standby. The estimated downtimes are also not accurate. So I will not be renewing my subscription.
  • Say goodbye to Genie +

    Honestly! The app, in addition to the Touring Plan, will get you on more attractions than Genie +. My family has used TP (hehehe) in Disneyland from way back before the app when you had to print the plan. We are completely sold on its usefulness. Personally, I love the fact that it can update your plan based on real time input from you and other users in the parks on the day you are there. It’s imperative for you, the user, to keep track of your line times in order for others to really benefit from the app and plan. We love it and will always use it! Thank you, Mr. Testa and team, for your years of intuition and hard work to build the best app available to get the most out of the parks!
  • App hasn’t been updated in 5 years

    It seems like the app works okay, but it doesn’t utilize the full display of my iPhone 14 Pro Max. I’ve installed the mobile version of the Touring Plans website as a workaround. Doing do enables me to see more content. It would be good to update the app to take full advantage of larger displays.
  • Feels outdated

    Not sure why the plan of Disneyland with small children would start at Rise of the Resistance which opens with a 40+ minute wait. Also felt outdated with rides that are closed for refurbishment listed on the plan. Has you crossing the park a few times which seems silly with small kids. Overall was not helpful in the least.
  • Badly needs an update

    I adore the Unofficial Guide books and the Touring Plans site - I recommend them to every single person that comes to me for Disney trip planning advice, which is a lot of people. That being said, the DL Lines app is woefully out of date compared to its WDW counterpart. I truly don’t understand why this app doesn’t get the same exact updates as the WDW version.
  • Great data, awful UI makes me not want to use it

    Clearly the data is impressive— lines are almost always closer to what TP app says than the official Disneyland app. The features, like cloning suggested plans and modifying them to your heart’s content, then getting updates on wait times accordingly, are powerful. But the UI is terrible. Unhelpful errors (“Error 01!” What does that mean?) I got an hour ago persist at the top of the screen. Difficult to navigate, aesthetic looks about 10 years old. Seems like they really don’t care about user experience. Find myself jumping back to the official app because it’s just easier (and Disney’s apps are no panacea either.) Hope the devs improve the UI to match the top quality data.
