The Math

Total cost for your party $200

Est. line time saved per person 5.3 hrs

What you're paying per hour saved $10/hr

How we figure it: Lightning Lane typically skips about 70% of the posted standby wait (you still walk the queue and preshow). Time saved = rides × wait × 70%. The verdict thresholds are our editorial call: under $10 per saved hour is strong value, $10–$20 is a coin flip, over $20 means rope drop beats it.
