Are you planning your next magical adventure at Walt Disney World and want to maximize your fun while minimizing time spent in lines? Let’s dive into the Lightning Lane Multi Pass system—your secret weapon for a smooth Disney experience!
What Exactly is Lightning Lane Multi Pass?
Lightning Lane Multi Pass is a convenient premium option that lets you skip the usual standby lines at some of Disney’s most popular rides. For around $15 per person per day (pricing varies by date and park), you can pre-book up to three attraction slots ahead of your visit.
What About Lightning Lane Single Pass?
Some top-tier attractions aren’t included in the Multi Pass but are available through individual Lightning Lane Single Passes. These passes can be purchased individually, with prices ranging from $7 to $25 per attraction, per person.
Booking Your Lightning Lane Spots
If you’re staying at a Disney Resort hotel or selected hotels, you can make your Lightning Lane choices up to 7 days before you arrive, covering your entire stay (up to 14 days). Not staying on property? You can book selections starting 3 days before your visit.
Understanding the Attraction Tiers
Disney categorizes attractions into tiers to balance demand:
Tips & Tricks for Lightning Lane Succes
- Book Early: Resort guests can start booking 7 days before their stay; others can book 3 days in advance.
- Fast Booking: Once you scan into your first attraction, immediately book your next selection to maximize your options.
- Keep Checking: Attraction times can become available as plans change. Regularly modify your bookings for better times.
- Fill in the Gaps: Use “filler attractions”—rides with shorter waits—to keep the fun rolling between your Lightning Lane reservations.
Advanced Lightning Lane Hacks
- Park-Hopping Tip: After you’ve used your first Lightning Lane of the day, the tier system disappears, allowing you free choice of attractions for additional bookings.
- Early Birds Win: Choose an early time slot for an attraction that usually has availability (a “burner attraction”) to quickly unlock more booking options.
Recommended Priority Attractions
- Magic Kingdom: Prioritize Peter Pan, JUngle Cruise or Tianas Bayou Adventure fpr group one.
- Epcot: Start with Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure or Frozen Ever After for your group one selection
- Hollywood Studios: Choose Slinky Dog Dash or Toy Story Mania first.
- Animal Kingdom: Kilimanjaro Safaris and Expedition Everest should be on your priority list.
