You don’t have to be in the park early for rope drop or buy special line-skipping features to experience the park.

Any time a park offers a line-skipping option for its attractions, that increases wait times for other park guests who do not pay for the upcharge, as they now have to wait for the line-skippers who cut ahead. So fans have been howling that the only way to enjoy less-than-oppressive wait times for top Disney attractions is to give in and pay for the new Lightning Lane upcharges — costs can add more than $25 a day per person to already pricey Disneyland or Walt Disney World visits.

But is that true? On a recent Saturday, my daughter and I visited Disneyland and decided to do everything wrong. The weather was lovely, and the parks were slammed, but we rolled in late and chose not to purchase Genie+ or Lightning Lane. What would we be able to see on a busy weekend? Plenty, it turned out. Even without the line skips, we managed to experience seven attractions, including Pirates of the Caribbean and the longest line in the park —— in less than six hours starting at noon. That’s the busiest time of day in the parks, but we saw shows, ate lunch and dinner, met characters and paddled canoes while enjoying several other attractions, waiting in the full standby queue for each. The only hellish experience we encountered was the finale of Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride.
