Smugglers Run Lightning Lane Sells Out 8:27 AM
Published October 28, 2026
Live now: Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run wait & status
Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run at Disney’s Hollywood Studios sold out its Lightning Lane availability at 8:27 AM ET today, according to SupaPark’s live Lightning Lane tracking. That is 1h 33m earlier than the ride’s trailing 15-day average first-sellout time of 10:00 AM ET.
As of Wednesday, October 28, the figures above come from SupaPark’s own per-minute polling of live Lightning Lane availability, measured at 8:34 AM ET using the day’s first sellout event.
Smugglers Run is a Lightning Lane Multi Pass attraction, not a Single Pass one, so it competes for the same selection slots as the rest of Hollywood Studios’ Multi Pass lineup.
An 8:27 AM sellout means the window effectively closed inside the first stretch of the operating day — before many guests have finished their first ride.

What’s not confirmed
SupaPark’s tracking measures availability, not the reason behind it. Nothing here indicates why today ran early — park attendance, ride capacity, and inventory released are not part of this measurement. Disney has not announced any change to Lightning Lane inventory or pricing, and SupaPark’s data does not speak to whether tomorrow repeats this pattern.
What it means for your trip
- If Smugglers Run is on your Hollywood Studios list, treat it as a first-pick Multi Pass selection in your advance window rather than a mid-morning add-on. Disney resort guests can start selections 7 days before arrival, off-site guests 3 days, from 7:00 AM Eastern.
- If you are in the park today without it, use the single rider line. Smugglers Run has one, and it moves well when standby is long — just know your group will be split across the cockpit’s three crew positions.
- Riding standby instead? Go during a nighttime show or in the last hour before close, the two windows when Galaxy’s Edge thins out most reliably.
- Height is 38 inches, the ride is a motion simulator, and the queue is indoors and loud — useful if you are deciding whether to spend a limited Multi Pass slot on it for a younger kid who may sit it out anyway.
- Sellouts are not always permanent: inventory can refill when guests cancel or modify. SupaPark’s Lightning Lane refill alerts watch for exactly that and ping you when availability returns, so you can book it in My Disney Experience.
