It’s an option for those who couldn’t get on the attraction today.
However, Lightning Lane was immediately gone first thing this morning. Many will be disappointed today. Even those who did get boarding groups might be disappointed if it breaks down like it has been.
Our friend La Reina Creole could not get a boarding group this morning.
The VQ for Tiana’s Bayou Adventure all gone and I hit the button exactly at 7am 🤪
Can’t wait to see what the Lightning Lane $$$ will cost. pic.twitter.com/JISbZma82T
