Millennium Falcon Lightning Lane Sells Out by 8:17 AM
Published October 26, 2026
Live now: Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run wait & status
Lightning Lane availability for Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run at Disney’s Hollywood Studios sold out at 8:17 AM ET on Monday, October 26, according to SupaPark’s live data. That is 1h 46m earlier than the ride’s trailing 15-day average first-sellout time of 10:03 AM ET. These figures are as of Monday, October 26 at 8:30 AM ET.
The measurement comes from SupaPark’s live Lightning Lane availability tracking, which polls availability every minute. The 8:17 AM figure is the day’s first sellout event, meaning the first moment SupaPark’s tracking saw no Lightning Lane availability left for the ride.
The gap is wide. Over the previous 15 days, Smugglers Run’s Lightning Lane typically held out until about mid-morning. On Monday it was gone before many guests had cleared the Galaxy’s Edge entrance.

What’s not confirmed
Disney has not said why availability ran out early on Monday. SupaPark’s tracking records when availability disappears, not the reason, so a heavier crowd, reduced Lightning Lane inventory, or ride operations could each be the cause. One early sellout also doesn’t make a trend. Whether return times come back later in the day isn’t known as of 8:30 AM ET.
What it means for your trip
- Book it in advance, not on the day. Smugglers Run is a Lightning Lane Multi Pass attraction. If it’s a must-do, add it to your advance Multi Pass selections: resort guests can book 7 days before arrival and off-site guests 3 days before, starting at 7:00 AM ET. Don’t count on picking it up as a refill during your park day.
- Use the single rider line. Smugglers Run has one. If your group doesn’t mind splitting up, it’s often the fastest way on when Lightning Lane is gone.
- Families with small kids: the height requirement is 38 inches and Rider Switch is available, so one adult can wait with a non-rider while the rest of the group rides. It’s a simulator, so anyone prone to motion sickness should know that before boarding.
- If you missed it today, a SupaPark Lightning Lane alert can ping you if Smugglers Run availability comes back. You’d still book it yourself in My Disney Experience.
