The guide's move

Worth a Multi Pass slot only on very busy days; otherwise ride late.

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 Soarin' Around the World and everything else without burning your afternoon in standby.
