No Lightning Lane (yet), not even regular old Fastpass at the moment. Just pick a ride and wait in line.
If you don't have dining reservations, it would be good to try to get something, but not necessary. Downloading the app is also good, but again, not necessary. We did dinner at Tagaroa Terrace at the Disneyland hotel and breakfast and lunch at Craftsman Grille at the Grand Californian as walk up. In the park, mobile order is faster, but at both Jolly Holiday and Smokejumpers, you could order in person and it would only be an extra 10 minutes.
So many memories.
Including being separated from my family when I was around 9 years old while wandering through the caves on Tom Sawyer’s Island.
When I realized I couldn’t find them, I was frantic.
I ran back to Fort Apache and found a U.S. Cavalry soldier. He calmed me down and took me to a Mike Fink raft and said, “You take this back to the Mainland, and I’m sure they’ll be waiting for you.”
And, they were. Right there near the entrance to Autopia.
I never forgot that Cavalryman.
