Which Tomorrowland Rides Have Lightning Lane? (Four)
Published November 10, 2026
As of November 2026, four Tomorrowland rides are on Lightning Lane Multi Pass: Space Mountain, Star Tours – The Adventures Continue, Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters and Autopia. Two are standby-only: Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage and Astro Orbitor. The land has no Single Pass ride, because Disneyland Resort’s Single Pass covers only Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance and Radiator Springs Racers.
That split is your plan. Use a Multi Pass selection on Space Mountain and ride everything else standby or with a later selection. Disneyland.com’s Multi Pass attraction list changes by date, so check it in the Disneyland app after you enter the park. All times are Pacific.
Space Mountain and Star Tours
Space Mountain is the reason to come to Tomorrowland. It’s an indoor coaster in near-total darkness that lasts about 3 minutes, and riders must be at least 40 inches tall. At Disneyland Resort you make your first Multi Pass selection when you enter the park. You can make the next one after you use it, or 2 hours after you made it. If Space Mountain is a must-ride for your group, make it that first selection and plan the rest of your morning around its return time.
Star Tours – The Adventures Continue is a motion simulator that runs about 5 minutes, also with a 40-inch minimum. The scenes change between rides, so a second ride isn’t a repeat of the first. It’s on Multi Pass, but it makes a better standby ride than Space Mountain does. Check the posted wait in the Disneyland app and keep your selection for something harder to get on.
If you’re staying at a Disney hotel: each registered guest age 3+ at the Disneyland Hotel, Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa or Pixar Place Hotel gets one Lightning Lane entry to one eligible Multi Pass ride, on one day of the stay. Space Mountain is a good place to use it. Since Tomorrowland has no Single Pass ride, the hotel entry’s Single Pass exclusion doesn’t matter here.
Buzz, Nemo and Autopia
Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters is a shooting ride where you aim at targets and keep score. Kids love it and adults get more competitive than they’ll admit. It’s on Multi Pass, which makes it a good second or third selection for families. It has closed for refurbishment before, so check its status in the Disneyland app before you count on it.
Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage is the ride in this land that needs the most planning. It runs about 14 minutes, the longest ride in Tomorrowland, and it has no Lightning Lane, so the standby line is the only way on. A long ride with a long line can eat a big part of your morning. Go only when the posted wait is short, and ride it while the rest of your group waits on a Multi Pass return time somewhere else. You sit in an enclosed cabin and look out through portholes. Nemo fans and young kids will enjoy it, but anyone who gets claustrophobic should skip it.
Autopia lets you drive a small car along a guided track for about 5 minutes. Riders need to be 32 inches tall, and drivers riding alone need to be 54 inches. It’s on Multi Pass, but most adults can skip it. If your young child is desperate to drive, it’s worth doing. Just don’t use an early selection on it while Space Mountain is still available.
Planning around this? Open Disneyland in SupaPark.
Astro Orbitor, the Pixar shorts and the monorail
Astro Orbitor is the rocket spinner at the front of the land, and it’s standby only. You get a nice view, but a long wait for a short spin usually isn’t worth it. Ride it if the line is short or a kid insists.
Pixar Short Film Spotlight gives you indoor seating and a break, which helps with a tired toddler or a hot afternoon. Check Disney’s current listing for what’s showing and when.
Disneyland Monorail is a transportation ride of about 11 minutes between Tomorrowland and the Downtown Disney station. It’s a classic, and it’s also a real shortcut to dinner in Downtown Disney. It has closed for maintenance before, so check the Disneyland app. Because it loads and unloads inside the park, plan on needing park admission. Disney’s own guidance on this isn’t clear, though, so confirm with a Cast Member at the station.
One more thing to know: fans have long complained that Tomorrowland feels empty. The old PeopleMover track still runs overhead without a ride on it. Plan short visits here instead of spending half your day.
Where to eat in Tomorrowland
Tomorrowland has two counter-service spots, and neither takes reservations, so you just walk up.
- Alien Pizza Planet Express serves pizza and is the easy pick when you need to feed a group quickly.
- Galactic Grill is the land’s other counter. Check its current menu in the Disneyland app before you walk over.
Neither is worth going out of your way for. Eat here because you’re already nearby. Mobile order (“Order Food” in the Disneyland app) works at select locations, but it hasn’t been confirmed for either of these, so look in the app on the day. If one of them shows up, place your order while you’re in the Star Tours line and pick it up after you ride. For a sit-down meal, use the table-service restaurants elsewhere in the park. Those take reservations up to 60 days ahead on Disneyland.com or in the Disneyland app.
Getting in and out
Most people enter Tomorrowland from the hub in front of Sleeping Beauty Castle, which is where crowds pile up. Here are better routes:
- The castle-side path from Fantasyland. A side path on the Tomorrowland side of Sleeping Beauty Castle connects Fantasyland directly to Astro Orbitor at the front of Tomorrowland. It saves the most time going from Fantasyland to Tomorrowland because you skip the busiest part of the hub. It can still back up, so if it’s packed, the main hub may not be any slower.
- The monorail from Downtown Disney. It drops you in Tomorrowland, which is handy if you’re eating or staying on that side of the resort.
- The Disneyland Railroad. The park’s steam train stops in Tomorrowland, so tired legs can ride around the park instead of walking.
Height and Rider Switch cheat sheet
- Space Mountain: 40 in
- Star Tours – The Adventures Continue: 40 in
- Autopia: 32 in to ride, 54 in to drive alone
Check Disney’s current listing for height requirements on the other Tomorrowland rides. Rider Switch works at most Disneyland Resort attractions. Your party splits up, a Cast Member scans the admission of the people waiting, and then up to two of them ride without the standby wait. Ask for it at Space Mountain or Star Tours if a child is too short to ride.
What to do with your Tomorrowland hour
Tomorrowland is worth two rides, and maybe a third. Use a Multi Pass selection on Space Mountain, ride Star Tours standby if the wait is fair, and add Buzz, Nemo or Autopia only if someone in your group really wants them. Do Nemo only when its wait is short, because no Lightning Lane can rescue a long line there. Use the castle-side path or the monorail to avoid the hub, and treat the food as a quick refuel.
