Disneyland Lightning Lanes: Everything You Need to Know

Lightning Lanes can feel confusing at first, but once you understand how they work, they make your Disneyland day so much easier. This guide walks you through what Lightning Lanes are, how they work, what they cost and when to buy them, and the difference between Multi Pass, Single Pass, and the Premier Pass.

What Is a Lightning Lane

A Lightning Lane is a separate entrance for an attraction. It is different from the regular standby line and usually has a much shorter wait. If you visited in the past, it is the same entrance that used to be the FASTPASS return line. Not every ride has a Lightning Lane, but for the ones that do, the shorter wait can save you a lot of time.
