Your Ultimate Guide to Skipping the Lines Like a Pro

Picture this: You’re standing in another endless queue at Walt Disney World, the sun is blazing, your feet are protesting, and you’re pretty sure you’ve memorised every brick in the pavement. Sound familiar? Enter Disney’s Lightning Lane Multi Pass, your ticket to skipping the standby lines and making the most of your park day. Whether you’re aiming to conquer Expedition Everest, drift down Tiana’s Bayou or just go on a Runaway Railway with Mickey and Minnie, this guide will walk you through everything you need to know about Multi Pass, from how it works to whether it’s worth the extra pixie dust (money).

What is Disney’s Lightning Lane Multi Pass?

The Lightning Lane Multi Pass is Disney’s paid ride reservation system that lets you book multiple attractions throughout the day, skipping the regular standby queues, significantly cutting down wait times.

Unlike the Lightning Lane Single Pass, which only allows access to one top attraction at a time for an additional fee, the Multi Pass lets you book multiple attractions in advance across the park for a single daily fee, making it a great option for those who want to maximise their ride count. 

How Does Lightning Lane Multi Pass Work?

It’s as easy as saying Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo (but with a few more steps). With Lightning Lane Multi Pass, you can pre-select up to three attractions per day (depending on availability). These selections are sub-divided into tiers, meaning you can’t just book all those top rides back-to-back. You’ll need to have a strategy to get the best mix of high-demand and lower-tier attractions.

For Disney Resort Hotel Guests

  • Using the My Disney Experience App: Wake Up Early, Lightning Lane passes are available starting at 7:00 AM, 7 days before your Disney Resort Hotel check in date. This means if you’re staying off-site, you might have a harder time snagging the best rides.
  • Book Up to 3 Attractions: Choose three available rides in one park, with return times spaced throughout the day.
  • Use Your Pass, Then Book Again: Once you redeem your first ride, you can book another attraction, keeping the magic going all day long.

Pro Tip: Booking you Multi Pass early gives the highest range of attractions but also time slots. Attractions and time slots are limited so best to book early to ensure full selection.

For Non-Disney Resort Hotel Guests

  • Using the My Disney Experience App: Wake Up Early, Lightning Lane passes are available starting at 7:00 AM, 3 days before your Park Reservation (the 3 days, also applies to Annual Pass Holders and non dated tickets). This means if you’re staying off-site, you might have a harder time snagging the best rides.
  • Book Up to 3 Attractions: Choose three available rides in one park, with return times spaced throughout the day.
  • Use Your Pass, Then Book Again: Once you redeem your first ride, you can book another attraction, keeping the magic going all day long.

How to Guide

  • Use the My Disney Experience App: Open the app, navigate to the ‘Purchase Lightning Lane Multi Pass’.

Where to go 2
  • Select your date and Park. Prices vary by ride and date, so expect to pay more on peak days.
  • Making your Selections: Once you have your pass for all your party members you can select your 3 attractions. Select 1 from the first group (the high tier attractions) then 2 from the next group (the lower tier attractions).
  • Your Time Slots: Choose from the available time slots for your selected attractions. You can come back and check on these to amend anytime prior to your slot time.

Pro Tip You can come back and check on these to amend anytime prior to your slot time.

  • Show Up at Your Time Slot: Arrive at the ride during your reserved time, scan your MagicBand or ticket, and enjoy skipping past all the guests.
  • Once you have Tapped In: The app will reset and allow you to book another attraction, from any tier, following the same process as above. You can have 3 Lightning Lane attractions booked at any one time. 

Pro Tip: Reservations can be modified within the app, during the course of the day it can be worth checking to see if earlier times become available to book for attractions, giving more time in the day to book more attractions.

Tiers and Which Attractions Offer Lightning Lane Multi Pass?

Unlike the Single Pass, which is reserved for the biggest E-ticket rides, the Multi Pass includes a variety of attractions across all four parks. Using a Tier System, this ensures that not everyone books the most popular attractions all at once. Guest are able to select one attraction from Teir 1 and two attractions from Tier 2.

Here is the tier system broken down by park:

How Much Does the Lightning Lane Multi Pass Cost?

Pricing for Multi Pass varies depending on the time of year, crowd levels, and how much Disney wants to charge that day (okay, maybe not that last part…or maybe so?).

Expect to pay anywhere from $15-$30 per person, per day, with higher costs during peak seasons Christmas, Summer, Spring Break (and any time you forgot to check the crowd calendar), so if Lightning Lane Single Pass is something that you plan on using budget accordingly.

Is Lightning Lane Multi Pass Worth It?

YES, if:

  • You want to maximise rides and minimise waits.
  • You’re visiting during peak season, when standby lines resemble a pilgrimage.
  • You have kids (or impatient adults) who won’t tolerate long waits.
  • You’re only visiting for a short trip and need to fit in as much as possible.

NO, if:

  • You’re visiting during low-crowd periods where standby waits are short.
  • You’re okay with rope-dropping and strategic ride planning.
  • You’re on a strict budget and would rather save the money for Mickey-shaped snacks.

Pro Tips for Using Lightning Lane Multi Pass Like a Disney Pro

  • Book Your Top Rides First: Prioritise the attractions that get long waits early in the day.
  • Check Wait Times Before Booking: Don’t waste a Multi Pass on something with a 15-minute standby queue.
  • Set a Reminder for Additional Bookings: Once you redeem a ride, be ready to book the next one ASAP.
  • Use Standby for Less Popular Rides: Save your Lightning Lane selections for the biggest attractions and queue up for the others.
  • Consider Multi Pass Before Single Pass: If you plan to use multiple Lightning Lanes, the Multi Pass might be the better deal.

Pro Tip: Have one member in your party be the designated person to check the app to see if there are any earlier attractions and also be uncharge of booking the next lightning lane for the whole party.
