This was on a Saturday at Disneyland/CA Adventure this summer. It’s certainly not the fairest way of doing it since most people don’t know how to use it the way I do so yes it’s probably better the way they do it in Tokyo. I have heard many times the parks are much better there and I’m excited to go some day.
But for someone who knows and enjoys all the lighting lane strategies it has been nice to decide as a family that we will never wait in a line longer than 10 minutes again.
