Lightning Lane, decoded.
Two ways to skip the line, one place to decide. Is today's per-park Multi Pass worth it, are the marquee Individual Lightning Lanes a deal or a skip, should you buy now or wait — and what's selling out fastest. All live.
Is it worth it? Verdict by park →
How we score Multi Pass value
Each day we capture every park's Multi Pass price and pair it with our crowd forecast for that park. The busier the day, the longer the standby lines you skip — so the same dollar price buys more saved time and scores as better value.
Every captured price, park by park and day by day, is published in the Multi Pass price history (with a CSV download).
This is about the Multi Pass bundle. For the marquee headliners sold separately (Rise of the Resistance, TRON, Cosmic Rewind), see Is an Individual Lightning Lane worth it? and Buy now or wait?
Lightning Lane sold out? Get an alert
A sold-out Lightning Lane is not always gone for the day. Guests cancel and modify their plans, and every change can put a return time back into the system for whoever sees it first. Some of those re-releases last a minute; on some days a whole block of return times comes back and stays for a while. SupaPark checks Lightning Lane availability every few seconds, so it can tell you the moment a return time reappears for the ride you want.
Set a Lightning Lane watch on any Single Pass or Multi Pass ride. A free account gets the alert by email; paid plans add push and text alerts (see pricing). SupaPark never books, holds or pays for anything: when the alert arrives, you open My Disney Experience and select the return time yourself, as fast as you can.

Wait-drop and ride-reopen alerts
Not every ride is worth a Lightning Lane. A wait-drop watch tells you when a ride's posted standby wait falls to the number you pick, and a back-up watch tells you when a ride that broke down is running again, once per closure. Both use the same delivery as Lightning Lane alerts.
Multi Pass or Single Pass?
Lightning Lane Multi Pass is bought per park day and lets you book return times across a set of rides. Lightning Lane Single Pass is bought ride by ride, for the few headliners that are not part of Multi Pass. Disney Resort hotel guests can book 7 days before check-in for their whole stay; everyone else can book 3 days before each park day, starting at 7:00 AM Eastern. The tabs above show whether today's Multi Pass is worth it in each park and whether a Single Pass price is a deal, and the booking-window calculator gives your exact date.
