Strategy Summary
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind saves the most time at Walt Disney World: its posted standby wait averaged 74 minutes over the last 30 days, so a Single Pass Lightning Lane saves about 64 minutes. It sold out while the park was open on 29 of 30 days. Of 46 rides offering Lightning Lane, 16 averaged 30 minutes or more of standby. The other 30 averaged under 30 minutes, so a Lightning Lane saves less than 20 minutes on them.
How we decide: We call a Lightning Lane worth it when the ride's average posted standby wait over the period was 30 minutes or more, so skipping the line saves about 20 minutes or more (standby minus up to 10 minutes in the Lightning Lane). "Sold out" days: A day counts as sold out when the ride's Lightning Lane showed no return times for at least 60 minutes in a row while the ride was open, starting more than 2 hours before the park closed. Running out in the last two hours happens to almost every ride and isn't counted. Rides need 7 park days of data to be listed.
