The guide's move

A strong mid-day Multi Pass pick when standby peaks after lunch.

Lightning Lane fees are paid by you directly to Disney and change with demand — we never mark them up. What a real guide does is decide which passes are worth buying for your day, and time the bookings so you ride Jungle Cruise and everything else without burning your afternoon in standby.
