Instead we made lunch reservations for the next day, which means you do NOT have to wait in the main elevator line. We went straight up, and got to go to the normal CN tower floors after our meal. When we factored in the time we saved, plus not having to pay for the lift ticket (it's included in the meal cost), the cost of the lunch was actually quite reasonable.
