August can be quite an interesting month in Disney World. Summer vacation has ended for many, but not all, so some families are still spending their last few weeks of freedom soaking up the Orlando summer sun.

That also means that crowds can be a bit all over the place, which is why we keep a pretty close eye on them. If you’re traveling to the parks this month and want to skip the lines using Disney’s Lightning Lane service, you’ll want to budget well in advance.
Using Lightning Lane is a great way to make the most of your Disney World day if you don’t want to be waiting in line for so long, but it does cost a pretty penny, especially for a family. We’ve broken down what Lightning Lane will cost you day by day to help you plan, so without further ado, let’s dive in.
