Here's how Disney Lightning Lanes helped me slash wait times in half and get on 16 rides in 1 day

If life were a fairytale, guests would saunter straight to the front of every line at Walt Disney World without ever waiting to ride their favorite attractions. But this is the real world, where waits for popular Disney rides can get pretty darn long. Unfortunately, no amount of pixie dust can make the lines any shorter, but that doesn't mean there aren't ways to make your wait times magically shrink.
Enter Disney Lightning Lane (formerly known as Disney Genie+) — Disney's current version of the line-skipping service available at most theme parks. You can purchase a Lightning Lane Multi Pass, Lightning Lane Single Pass, or both to skip the standby line and get to more attractions with shorter waits.
TPG has a comprehensive guide to Disney Lightning Lane passes, but there is only one way to truly test the limits of this new line-skipping service. We put boots (er ... supportive sneakers) to the ground to find out just how much ground you can cover and how much time you can save with Disney Lightning Lane.
TPG sent two staffers — myself and Director of Content Summer Hull — to hot, sunny Central Florida to test Lightning Lane vs. old-fashioned waiting in a real-world situation. I purchased the Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Single Pass so I could skip virtually every line at Disney World.
Summer, on the other hand, had to wait in the standby line.
We started and ended at the same time and planned to spin, zoom and fly on most of the same rides. For science, of course.
How much time did we spend waiting in line? How many rides did we get on? And do you really need Disney Lightning Lane to enjoy your Disney World vacation? Our findings may surprise you.

You can learn everything you've ever wanted to know about the basics of how this all works in our guide to Disney Lightning Lanes, but here's a quick breakdown of how they work at Disney World to get you up to speed for the purposes of our test.
Most attractions are included in the Lightning Lane Multi Pass service, but one or two top attractions at each park require a separate Lightning Lane Single Pass purchase to skip the line. It's not necessary to purchase a Lightning Lane Multi Pass to buy a Lightning Lane Single Pass and vice versa, though by combining the two, you are almost guaranteed to get on all your favorite Disney rides during your visit.
Although Multi Pass and Single Pass are separate services, you can purchase one or both in a single transaction. You can purchase both services through the My Disney Experience app.
Lightning Lane Multi Pass is the current iteration of Disney's skip-the-line service. If you remember FastPass, FastPass+ or Disney Genie+, you should already have a basic
