How Smart Routing Saves You Hours

You're walking from Space Mountain to your next Lightning Lane at Haunted Mansion. You have 73 minutes. Lightning Brain analyzed 247 attractions and tells you: "You have time for Mad Tea Party (18 min total) or Winnie the Pooh (24 min total) on the way. Peter Pan would be cutting it too close."

That's the power of real-time intelligence. Lightning Brain knows your location, where you're going, live wait times, walking distances, and your personal walk vs wait preferences. Every recommendation is optimized to maximize your time and minimize stress.
