We rode 12 rides at Disney World without paying for Lightning Lanes. The secret was leaving our kids at home.

My friend and I are both moms and left our seven kids at home to go to Disney World. We visited three parks, rode 12 rides, and loved every minute.

The author and a friend visited Disney World for a day without their children. They opted for Park Hopper tickets, which allowed them to explore three parks: Hollywood Studios, Magic Kingdom, and Epcot. The author, who grew up visiting Disney World, and her friend chose to skip Magic Kingdom to spend more time in Hollywood Studios.

They rode 12 rides and explored at their own pace, feeling like they were finally able to indulge in a kid-free Disney adventure. The pair experienced shorter wait times than usual, possibly due to the day's events, such as Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party at Magic Kingdom. They also enjoyed the International Food and Wine Festival at Epcot, sampling various cuisines from around the world, including a Mexican paleta, which they found to be their favorite food of the day.

Despite the weather being unpredictable, the author and her friend had an enjoyable and rejuvenating day at Disney World, reminiscing about their childhood and appreciating the magic of the parks without the responsibilities of parenthood.
