Lightning Lane Multi Pass at Walt Disney World: Your Ultimate Glow-Up Guide
The days of Genie+ at Disneyland are over, and Lightning Lane Multi Pass is officially in charge. If you’re dreaming of short waits and big rides without the stress of standing in line all day, this is the add-on you want.
Let’s break down how Lightning Lane Multi Pass works at Disneyland, how it compares to what came before and how to use it to maximize your magic.
What Is Lightning Lane Multi Pass?
Lightning Lane Multi Pass is the paid line-skipping system at Disneyland Resort. You’re able to book your ride reservations the day of upon entering the park.
How to Get Lightning Lane Access
You’ll need to:
- Buy a valid Disneyland ticket either as a standalone or as part of a resort package
- Make a park reservation
- Open the Disneyland app after entering the park
- Purchase Lightning Lane for the day (if you didn’t purchase it with your ticket)
- Start selecting Lightning Lane return times, one at a time
Lightning Lane Single Pass
Want to splurge and really save time? Pair your LLM with a Lightning Lane Single Pass and ride those ultra-headliners with zero standby drama. Currently, LLSP is available for:
- Radiator Springs Racers at Disney California Adventure Park
- Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance at Disneyland Park
Real Talk: Is It Worth It?
Prices vary based on date and demand:
- Lightning Lane Multi Pass access starts around $25/day per person
- Lightning Lane Single Pass costs $15–$25 per ride, per person
If you want to avoid wasting hours in line, yes. Especially if you’re traveling with littles, limited time or just hate sweating in queues. You’re buying back chunks of your day and a bit of your sanity.
On the other hand, if you’re ok with a leisurely day and not in Dumbo or Die touring mode, you can definitely stick with standby. Chat with your planning biddy or travel agent (hi…should be me!) about the crowd patterns during your trip, and see if you can swing it without, or maybe just grab it for a couple of days.
