Disney World Announces Major Changes To Lightning Lane

Share:

Disney World announced today that they are revamping the Lightning Lane experience with new enhancements tailored to make the guest experience better.

Here are the changes coming to Lightning Lane:

Lightning Lane Single Pass will work much like it does today, where you can secure a time to ride one of our most highly demanded attractions, but you’ll now be able to make your purchase and plan in advance.

Guests staying at a Disney Resort hotel and other select hotels can plan Lightning Lane passes up to 7 days in advance, for their entire stay (up to 14 days). All other guests can plan up to 3 days in advance.

These advance purchase windows will let guests secure some of their must-do rides and experiences after they’ve had some time to decide what dining reservations they want to book and any other plans they may need to consider.

Guests may purchase a Lightning Lane Multi Pass, a Lightning Lane Single Pass, or both. The app will also be updated to make it quicker and easier to purchase and plan, with fewer steps and a new option to purchase Lightning Lane Single Pass and Lightning Lane Multi Pass in one transaction.

Lightning Lane will blend features from our current services and the previously offered FastPass+ service, giving guests the choice to plan ahead and removing the hassle of planning during their vacation.

Disneyland Resort will also use the new Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Lightning Lane Single Pass names beginning July 24. The way guests purchase, select, and redeem Lightning Lane passes at Disneyland Resort will remain the same.

The complimentary features of the Disney Genie service will continue to be available in the My Disney Experience and Disneyland apps.

Here is an example of what Lightning Lane attractions will look like for Magic Kingdom:
