If you could skip the line of ONE Disney World ride for the rest of your life, which one would you pick?

Maybe you’d go with something that almost always has a long line like Rise of the Resistance, or you could pick a classic attraction, like Pirates of the Caribbean. Oh, if only permanent Lightning Lanes were a real thing — we’d be all about it! But, unfortunately, you usually do have to wait in some lines when you’re in the parks. So, will you be waiting for a long time if you visit soon? Let’s take a look at the wait times from this past week to find out!

If you’re heading to Magic Kingdom soon, you need to be aware of the days that the park closes early for Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party! It happens on select nights through October 31st — you can take a look at all of the dates right here.
