This article is your complete guide to understanding the Lightning Lane Multi Pass tiers at Disney World. The most important thing to understand is that this system is broken down into two tiers. Tier 1 consists of some of the most popular attractions in the park. While tier 2 is reserved for all other attractions that participate in the system. At this point in time three parks which are Magic Kingdom, Hollywood Studios and EPCOT have tier 1 and tier 2 and Animal Kingdom has only tier 2. We will go into this and so much more in this blog post! So keep reading if you want to know what rides you can go on with Disney’s Lightning Lane Multi Pass.

As we mentioned above, the Disney Lightning Lane tiers are set up in two levels. Tier one consists of the more popular attractions, while tier two is reserved for all other rides that are part of the program. When purchasing a Lightning Lane Multi Pass for all four theme parks, you’ll be prompted to choose three experiences and arrival windows. Once you’re in the park and you redeem your first experience, you’ll be able to add your next ride selection and arrival window. If you’re park hopping, this is the moment you can begin selecting attractions in the parks you plan on visiting later in the day. But keep in mind that you’ll only be able to hold three arrival windows at any given time!
When selecting your experiences, you’ll notice the ride selections are separated into two categories. The first tier contains rides that are typically the most popular or host the longest wait times. At the same time, the second tier will hold all other rides that participate in the Lightning Lane program. Once you purchase your Multi Pass, you can select up to 3 attraction return times. Only one of them can be from Tier 1, while the other two, or all three, can be selected from Tier 2.

A: Yes! After you redeem your first return time of the day, you can select another attraction in the Muli Pass system from either tier. The only issue is having availability for the rides in tier one. Since this tier is the one reserved for the more popular rides with longer wait times, they tend to sell out well in advance.
A: Yes! With this version of Disney Lightning Lane, you can modify your return times within the app without canceling your current return time. There is a new ‘modify’ tab where you can easily see what selections and times are available. So, if you’re trying for a specific ride and don’t see one just yet, keep refreshing the modify button and see if any other return times drop throughout the day.
A: It has the potential to sell out. But that doesn’t mean it’s going to! The only pass you should worry about selling out is the Lightning Lane Single Pass. Those will typically sell out early on, so it’s important to book it as soon as your booking window opens!
