How does Booking Assist book Lightning Lanes?

Buy Lightning Lane Multi Pass in My Disney Experience, then connect your party in Standby with your Friends & Family linking code. Pick the park, date, rides, and guests, and tap Watch. When an eligible return time opens up, Standby books it and notifies you. A search is not a guaranteed reservation.

Do I have to give Standby my Disney password?

No. You connect through My Disney Experience Friends & Family with a linking code. You do not give Standby your Disney password.

Which parks does Standby support?

Live wait times and alerts cover 20+ parks, including Walt Disney World, Universal Orlando with Epic Universe, Disneyland Resort, Tokyo Disney Resort, and Disneyland Paris. Booking Assist works only at Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and Disney’s Animal Kingdom.

Does Standby work on Android?

No. Standby is available for iPhone and iPad running iOS 18 or later.

How is Standby different from Wait Magic or Standby Skipper?

All three help with Lightning Lane Multi Pass, and none of them is Disney. Standby combines eligible Walt Disney World Multi Pass booking and earlier-time searches with live wait times, alerts, and ride logging in one iPhone app. Wait Magic is Thrill Data’s web-based booking and modification service. Standby Skipper is a dedicated Lightning Lane booking app that also runs on Android.

Is Standby affiliated with Disney or Universal?

No. Standby is an independent app, not the official My Disney Experience app. Use My Disney Experience for park reservations, virtual queues, and buying Lightning Lane.
