You can disable the automatic boot when opening the display lid by launching the Terminal app and running the following command:

sudo nvram AutoBoot=%00

 

Re-enable Auto Boot with the following command:

sudo nvram AutoBoot=%03


Hope it Helps

This is not possible the AutoBoot on keypress cannot be disabled. (If you need to wipe clean the key board, reboot holding the Option key and let the Mac sit at the Startup Disk Manager.)


The auto on when lifting the lid, try from Terminal

sudo nvram AutoBoot=%00

this disable the "lift the lid" method.
