Yes. So I am a Target red card holder. This is Target's branded credit card. There is no annual fee. And you can buy Disney gift cards at Target. Here's where the red card kicks in. This Target credit card gets you 5% off the purchase price of most items at Target stores. And that includes Disney gift cards. So what I do is ahead of a Disney trip, I buy a bunch of Disney gift cards at Target.

$100 gift card just cost me $95. I can use that to buy tickets. I can also use it to buy anything else that they sell at Disney as long as they accept gift cards. So any of the shops, any of the restaurants, for the most part, this is a great way to save at Disney.

So I think we need to address the big one, and that is all of these ways you can pay to skip the line. There are a few ways you can do this. There is a Lightning Lane single pass. This gets you expedited entry into one ride. Then there is a multi-pass. This gets you into up to three rides at a time.

You select an arrival window, and then once you've used up one of those rides, then you can go select another ride. And then there's something called the Premier Pass. This is very limited. It is new. It is somewhat in testing and it's super expensive. So for context, a single ride pass is about $10 to $30 per ride. That multi-pass is about $20 to $30 per park. The Premier Pass, wait for it.

I hope you're sitting down. On the low end for a smaller park like Animal Kingdom is about $130. But I've seen it at the Magic Kingdom for about $450. $450. That's more than the ticket. Yes.

So I think a lot of people are not buying this, but this is something where if you are doing a once in a lifetime trip to Disney, maybe you're coming from an international destination and you're only going to be at Disney World for one day and you want to see it all. Maybe this is worth it because you do not spend any time in line.

Yeah, me too. You know, I always buy the multi pass when I go because I do feel like my time is money. I'm giving up time off of work. I am on this vacation. I already spent a bunch of money on the hotel and the ticket. So I might as well not wait in line. I think that multi-pass sort of fills that sweet spot of not being the $450 Premier Pass, but still allowing me to expedite those lines.
