Some Disney World's Lightning Lanes just aren’t worth your time or money.

When you purchase a Lightning Lane Multi Pass, ensuring you book lanes that truly save you wait time is crucial. Typically, these lanes correspond to attractions with the longest wait times. But which Lightning Lanes do experts avoid? We've got the rundown.

Mickey's PhilharMagic is an enjoyable 3D show featuring Donald Duck, but its wait is rarely longer than the show's duration. Therefore, using a Lightning Lane isn't necessary unless waits are unusually long.

Similarly, Monsters, Inc. Laugh Floor only requires a wait as long as it takes for the prior show to finish. If lines are out the door, consider booking a Lightning Lane.

For rides like The Magic Carpets of Aladdin, which usually have shorter wait times, using a Lightning Lane doesn’t offer much advantage. If it’s a must-ride or it’s sweltering outside, consider the Lightning Lane option.

The Barnstormer is a quick coaster, and lines move fast. Book a Lightning Lane only if waits are long or if it’s a kid-favorite.

Here's a tip: Use Mad Tea Party as your “burner” Lightning Lane, enabling you to book more popular rides quickly after entering.

For those spending extra on Disney’s Lightning Lanes, having a strategy can maximize your experience. Do you have your own tips or opinions on which Lightning Lanes to book first in Magic Kingdom? Share your thoughts!
