Which Fantasyland Rides Are on Lightning Lane? (Only Two)

By The SupaPark Team

Published November 9, 2026 · Updated November 10, 2026

Most people miss this about Fantasyland: almost none of it is on Lightning Lane. Only two attractions in the land take Lightning Lane Multi Pass, Matterhorn Bobsleds and “it’s a small world”. None of the classic dark rides people remember from childhood is on the Multi Pass list. That makes the order you ride in more important here than anywhere else in Disneyland Park.

This guide covers every ride and show in the land, where to eat, what’s worth your time, what to skip, and the side paths that link Fantasyland to the lands next to it.

Lightning Lane math in Fantasyland

As of November 2026, the Multi Pass list on Disneyland.com includes two Fantasyland rides: Matterhorn Bobsleds and “it’s a small world”. The list changes by date, so check the Disneyland app on the day. Two things follow from that:

  • Don’t buy Multi Pass for Fantasyland. If your day is mostly Fantasyland, it barely helps. Multi Pass earns its cost across the whole park, on rides like Space Mountain, Haunted Mansion and Indiana Jones Adventure.
  • Do the dark rides at rope drop. Ride Peter Pan’s Flight first. It isn’t on the Multi Pass list, so plan on waiting in standby. The earlier you get there, the shorter that wait tends to be.

At Disneyland Resort, you can only buy and book Multi Pass and Single Pass after you enter a park. There’s no advance booking window like the one at Walt Disney World. You make your first Multi Pass selection once you’re inside the park that day. Selections come one at a time: the next one opens when you use the current one, or 2 hours after you booked it. You can add Multi Pass to your ticket before you arrive, or buy it the same day in the Disneyland app after you enter.

If you’re staying at the Disneyland Hotel, Disney’s Grand Californian or Pixar Place Hotel, each registered guest age 3+ gets one entry to one eligible Multi Pass attraction, in either park, on one day of the stay. It shows up at check-in, or shortly after 7:00 AM Pacific on arrival day if you use Online Check-In. It can’t be used on the two Single Pass rides. If the Matterhorn would be your group’s longest line, it’s a good place to spend that entry.

The dark rides, in priority order

These short indoor rides are the heart of Fantasyland, and they’re the main reason to come early.

  1. Peter Pan’s Flight. This is the one where the line tends to become a problem. Ride it first, or be ready to skip it.
  2. Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride. Quick, chaotic and very Disneyland. Ride it if you never have.
  3. Alice in Wonderland. About 4 minutes long, and one of the better-looking rides in the land.
  4. Snow White’s Enchanted Wish and Pinocchio’s Daring Journey. Good fillers when their lines are short. Not worth a long wait.

Ride two or three of these back to back right after Peter Pan. They sit close together, so you lose very little time walking between them.

Matterhorn Bobsleds: the land’s one real thrill

Matterhorn Bobsleds is the only coaster in Fantasyland, and you’ll only find it at Disneyland. It’s often credited as the world’s first tubular steel coaster, and park lore says a small basketball court is hidden high up inside the mountain.

What to know:

  • Height: 42 in (107 cm).
  • Lightning Lane: part of Multi Pass.
  • Single rider: yes, though some single rider lines open only on busy days. If you don’t mind splitting up, check for it before you join standby.
  • Rider Switch: offered at most Disneyland Resort attractions. The party splits up, a Cast Member scans the admission of the people waiting, and up to two of them can then ride without waiting in standby. If a child in your group is under 42 in, ask at the entrance.

The Matterhorn has a reputation for being a jolting ride. Anyone with a sore back or a sensitive stomach should think twice.

Small kids: what’s worth it

Fantasyland is built for little kids, but not every kiddie ride is worth a long wait.

  • “it’s a small world”. About 15 minutes, seated and indoors, and it’s on Multi Pass. Save it for the middle of the day, when everyone needs to sit down out of the sun.
  • Storybook Land Canal Boats. About 10 minutes on a slow boat, and it works for every age. It often wins over adults who expected to be bored.
  • Casey Jr. Circus Train. About 4 minutes. If you only have time for one of these two, take the boat.
  • King Arthur Carrousel. About 2 minutes, and easy to fit in when the line is short.
  • Dumbo the Flying Elephant and Mad Tea Party. Do them if the line is short and skip them if it’s long. On the teacups, whoever turns the wheel decides how dizzy everyone gets.

The castle secret most people walk past

Sleeping Beauty Castle Walkthrough is one of the best-hidden spots in the park. You go in through a plain doorway on the back side of the castle. Inside, you climb stairs through narrow, winding passages and look into windows that show scenes from the film, some with added effects. There’s rarely much of a line.

Skip it if you have a stroller or don’t like tight spaces. If stairs are out, ask the Cast Member at the entrance about the step-free alternative before you queue.

Shows and characters

Fantasyland’s entertainment schedule changes, so check the Disneyland app for the day’s times. The usual lineup:

The bands aren’t worth planning around. Enjoy them if you happen to walk past.

Where to eat in Fantasyland

The three dining spots in the land are all walk-up counters with no reservations:

Check menus and mobile order availability in the Disneyland app (“Order Food”) on the day. Where mobile order is offered, you can order while you’re standing in a ride line and skip a second line at lunch.

Shortcuts to the neighboring lands

Paths change with construction and crowd control, so check with a Cast Member if one looks closed.

  • To Frontierland: a side path runs from the castle walkthrough entrance past Fantasy Faire into Frontierland. It’s the fastest way between the two lands, though it can back up when the dining nearby is busy.
  • To Tomorrowland: a path on the Tomorrowland side of the castle leads straight toward Astro Orbitor, so you skip the hub.
  • To Mickey’s Toontown: head past “it’s a small world”.

A good order: dark rides at rope drop, then the Matterhorn, then out through the Frontierland side path while crowds are still building in the hub.

Fantasyland in one paragraph

An early start does more for you in Fantasyland than a Lightning Lane purchase. Ride Peter Pan’s Flight first, then do the other dark rides back to back. Save “it’s a small world” and Storybook Land Canal Boats for the hot middle of the day, use the Matterhorn’s single rider line or your hotel Multi Pass entry if you have one, and slip into the castle walkthrough whenever you need a break from lines.
