Lightning Lane Entry Overview
As of July 24, 2024, Genie+ and Individual Lightning Lanes have been discontinued. Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Lightning Lane Single Pass are the names of the new services now being offered.
Lightning Lane Multi Pass - By purchasing this pass, guests will be able to make up to three (3) Lightning Lane selections each day for one park. Select from any available return time when booking Lightning Lane experiences. Once a Lightning Lane selection has been redeemed during your park visit, you may make another Lightning Lane selection (pending availability).
Each Disney Theme Park (excluding Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park) will have two groups of Lightning Lane Multi Pass experiences to choose from: Group 1 and Group 2 (see list). During the initial pre-planning selections, guests can select up to one (1) experience from Group 1, and up to two (2) experiences from Group 2. They may also choose to not select any experiences from Group 1, and instead select all three (3) experiences from Group 2. All selections must be made for the same park during pre-planning.
If a guest has a Park Hopper ticket, they can make a Lightning Lane selection for a different park after redeeming a selection during their first park of the day.
Purchasing the Lightning Lane Multi Pass gives you access to unlimited watermark free on-ride photo downloads on the days of purchase.
