Catch a Lightning Lane refill with Drop Watch
A sold-out Lightning Lane is often not gone for the day: return times come back when other guests modify or cancel, and a SupaPark Drop Watch alerts you the moment one reappears so you can grab it in My Disney Experience. It works for Lightning Lane Multi Pass selections and sold-out Single Pass rides, on the free plan by email, with instant push on Silver and Gold.
SupaPark logs Lightning Lane availability every few seconds, so you can see when each ride’s Lightning Lane usually sells out and watch refills land on the live drops feed.
(Drop Watch is one feature for all drops — the same one that catches hard-to-get dining reservations.)
How to set up a Lightning Lane Drop Watch
- Open SupaPark and go to Alerts.
- Find the sold-out ride you want to monitor.
- Turn on the watch for that attraction.
- Keep your phone close. As soon as a refill is detected, we send the alert on your plan’s channel.
