Lightning Lane is Disney’s paid skip-the-line service, and it can seriously come in handy on busier days — but it also gets more expensive on busier days. We’re breaking down the most expensive dates to buy Lightning Lanes at Disney World in August.

Before we do, here’s a bit of a refresher: Lightning Lane Multi Pass allows you to pay one price to skip the lines at multiple attractions, while Lightning Lane Single Pass lets you pay one price to skip the line once at individual attractions.

There is also the newest option, Lightning Lane Premier Pass. This option allows guests one-time access to each Lightning Lane entrance at attractions in a single theme park per day, with the flexibility to use it at any time—no need to reserve a time slot in advance.
