You’ve got a fan in me
I was always “the lightning lane guy” on all of my trips. Constantly on my phone, refreshing, scrolling, and refreshing again. While I’ll admit there is some fun to that, I noticed it became a problem when I was missing half the park day by staring at this same screen all day. But I was skeptical of anyone else taking that power from me. After all, what if they don’t get what I want? Well, after giving Standby Skipper a try, they blew me away. Not only did they manage to find the small stuff around the time we asked for, it also snagged the hard to get things I had given up on. Test Track and Slinky were both sold out by noon on the days we were there but I left it up to the Skipper. I even said “if Standby Skipper gets us a Slinky Dog Lightning Lane, I’ll shout to the rooftops about how much I love this service.” And sure enough, here I am, shouting. They booked the seemingly impossible. And I never once had to charge my phone throughout a day at the parks. Absolutely a must have from now on.
TLDR: Standby Skipper both keeps you off your phone and gets you those “impossible” lightning lanes. 10/10. Must have.

The Best
I just have to say we have been SS users and fans for years and we will never do Disney without it. If you are on the fence about purchasing it dont be. It is worth every penny and got us everything we wanted and more. My kids at some point told me to stop setting searches because it would get us everything and so fast lol. We love you Skipper and thank you for being the best and for always making our trips more magical and stress free 💙🤗🛥️

Super Helpful May 2026
I used this app in 2023 and it was super helpful. I loved it! With the new lightning lane system, it was really hard to get good lightning lanes the days we were in the parks. Instead would spend 30 minutes refreshing the app hoping for lightning lanes to become available. I never had success. Two days into our trip, I decided to try using this app again. I would choose what lightning lanes I wanted and would sit back and hang with my family and wait to see if the app would get me some lightning lanes. And it worked so well!! Relieved so much stress! Super highly recommend this app for people still learning the lightning lane system at Disney world.

Quickly became a favorite for our trip
This service is amazing! We were Disney newbies so I wasn’t well versed in lightning lanes, this made it easy and efficient to use all the available lightning lanes and automatically booked for you! Would definitely use again, the price is great for a larger group and allows you to really be present vs refreshing the app constantly looking for another ride. Tip from someone’s first time: if you don’t like the time it matches you with just delete it and set another alert, chances are a better slot will open up

Didn’t work
Tried using Standby Skipper for our Disney trip after hearing all the hype and honestly ended up pretty disappointed. The app felt clunky and confusing at times, especially when trying to manage multiple people and modify plans throughout the day. Recommendations didn’t always make sense based on where we were in the park, and some of the timing suggestions actually had us walking back and forth more than necessary.
The biggest issue was reliability. A couple of times the app seemed delayed compared to what was actually available in the Disney app, which is kind of the whole point of using a planner like this in the first place. For the price, I expected something smoother and more polished.
It’s not terrible, but it definitely didn’t feel like the “stress free Disney experience” people talk about.
