How this works

How does ParkScoop decide “book it” or “skip it”?

We apply one simple rule to the live numbers. For rides that still have Multi Pass return times: a standby of 60+ minutes is Book it now, 35–59 is Worth it, 20–34 is Only if it fits, and under 20 is Skip it, ride standby. For Single Pass rides: 60+ minutes pays off, 30–59 is your call, and under 30 is a skip. We also divide the listed Single Pass price by the standby wait in hours, so you can see roughly what each hour of line costs per person. It’s a rule of thumb, not an official Disney metric.

Where does the data come from?

Standby waits, Lightning Lane return windows, Single Pass prices, single rider waits and the hourly standby forecast all come from the free ThemeParks.wiki API. ParkScoop refreshes it about every 3 minutes. Return times can change minute to minute, so confirm in the official Disney app before you buy.

What’s the difference between Multi Pass and Single Pass?

Lightning Lane Multi Pass is a paid add-on for a park day that lets you book return times at a set of attractions. Lightning Lane Single Pass is bought one ride at a time for the most in-demand attractions. Disney sets both prices, and they vary by date and park. The Single Pass prices on this page are the ones being listed today.

Why does a ride say “Lightning Lane gone, standby only”?

That ride has no Multi Pass or Single Pass return times left for today. When ThemeParks.wiki’s forecast shows a lower standby later in the day, we point out the hour so you can plan around it.
