I spent an extra $44 on Disney World's new Lightning Lane system. I don't know how you can visit without it.

• Disney introduced the Lightning Lane Multi-Pass on July 24.
• I visited the parks for one day in July after the new system went into effect.
• For a family of four, it's not cheap, but I don't know how you can visit without it.

The Disney parks have had some version of an expedited queuing system since 1999 when FlashPass was introduced.

Twenty-five years and multiple incarnations later...
