was at WDW Dec 7-12 and only did one Individual Lightening Lane- Ratatouille. It was well worth it to walk right onto the ride. The ride is worth it too!
Pros:
walked right on to rideCons:

I used this system for my trip on 12/7 -12/9. I did not secure a virtual pass for Remy our first day in Epcot so I purchased this and we were able to walk right up to the loading area, no waiting at all. It was great, because the next day we rode with a virtual pass and still waited in line for 45 minutes to ride. We purchased this for Seven Dwarfs Mine train in MK and it was totally worth the price of $9/ person as the wait time never got below 60 minutes the entire day, but I bought this at 10:30 am and immediately after that there were mo more for purchase that day, so be aware that is a selection you need to make early in your day. Remy wasn't until after I missed the 2nd virtual group so it was after 1pm. Keep that in mind, I was there during non peak so these passes could go much faster during peak times.
Pros:
No waitingCons:
Have to make selection early Surge pricing, went up $1/person between Wednesday to Thursday.Reviewed by Aviationgrl89 Review Date: 12/15/2021

Very happy with this service, having to pay is blah but some times are so worth it. Rode Rise of the Resitance for the first time in November, and we paid for it and I regret NOTHINF, and id do it over and over again! Fyi: would have rode it whether we paid or not!
Pros:
Best experience,makes you feel like you're in the movie !!!!Cons:

Overall, if you want to maximize your time and minimize your wallet, I say YES to Individual Attraction costs. We used this service for FOP, it was well worth it, I let my first-timer sister know we were missing parts in the queue and that didn't hinder her decision to bypass the line, posted standby was 75 minutes and with this service we waited 6 minutes. We did not use this service for Remy's as were able to snag a spot in the 7am v-queue both days at EPCOT; if in the end we weren't able to snag the 7am on our first try, I wouldn't have gambled for the 1pm slot and would've bought the LL selection because these sell out quick, also our return time was estimated and updated all day which helped us to be able to go on with plans outside of heading over to our Remy ride. We didn't use this for Everest, either, posted standby was 20 and we waited 18 but I love that queue.
Pros:
Time saver! **Side note: Cast members are always great, I heard many people talking about how generous they can be if you're a tad late to your return windows, etc.Cons:
The more popular parks/rides fill up quick, we didn't get to pay for our Rise ride but I feel it would 100% be worth it but I also think waiting for the ride was worth it, posted standby was 145 minutes and actual wait time was 100 minutes. In contrast - Runaway Railway was posted 35 and we waited 10 minutes standby. **Slinky Dog Dash we rope dropped but I would pay!Reviewed by disneydreamswithme Review Date: 12/16/2021

I am giving this a 9/10 due to rides such as Expedition Everest and Space Mountain. I don't feel either of these really warrant the added cost. I will say in our experience it did stream line things for us! We loved using this option for Rise and FOP, added so much time back into our day we would have spent waiting in line for these attractions or missing altogether!
Pros:
Great way to experience high demand rides without wasting 2+ hours per day in the parks.Cons:
Expensive for large partiesReviewed by RealHousewifeOfNeverland Review Date: 12/16/2021

If you have it in your budget, I would highly recommend paying for individual attractions that are on your must-do list! Of course a free option would be preferable, but my mom and I visited in October and purchased "fancy ride" tickets for Flight of Passage and Rise of the Resistance. Rise was a literal walk on for us (while guests were waiting in a 2 hour line) and Flight of Passage was about a 7 minute wait. You do miss most of the queue for Flight, so if you want to see the amazing details in line, this option may not be for you. We only had one day in each park, so this allowed us to see and a do a lot more than we would have if we had to wait in really long lines!
Pros:
Little to no wait for very popular attractionsCons:
Extra costReviewed by LynnC Review Date: 12/16/2021

We paid for every ILL on our 6 day trip. This was our first time back to the parks since our Disney wedding in 2016, so we had not experienced Rise of the Resistance or any of the rides in Pandora. Toy Story wasn't even there our last trip!
It was worth every penny to skip the 3 hour line for ROR! We paid $15/person and for us, it was worth it, but overall I can see how that could quickly become quite the expense for a larger family. We opted out of park hopper tickets in order to pay for Genie+ and ILL, so for us, it paid off. Especially to see the look on our 4 year olds face on ROR. He absolutely loved the whole experience! We will be taking our first Disneyland trip next December and we will gladly pay for it there as well!
Pros:
Bypass a 3 hour line.Cons:
Can be expensive for larger families.Reviewed by Rachaelirwin Review Date: 01/01/2022

We used the individual selection at Epcot on Frozen Ever After during the Thanksgiving holiday. The ride went down, and as soon as the ride re-opened the standby wait time was 120 minutes. We were so thankful that we had purchased access to the lightning lane! We had less than a 10 minute wait. It was worth every penny!
Pros:
We avoided a 2 hour wait.Cons:
Having to pay per ride.Reviewed by TarraYoder Review Date: 12/23/2021

I like the idea of being able to ride an attraction that is normally a long wait (RoR,Frozen) with little to no wait. We bought the Frozen LL since we didn’t feel the need to purchase Genie+ at Epcot that day. We waited in a 5 minute line which was perfect. We would have bought it for RoR but weren’t able to snag one since we weren’t staying on property . It would have saved us a 2 hour wait! I don’t think it is worth it for every ride but can really save you on others!
