A Disney World Lightning Pass, formerly known as FastPass+<\/a>, is part of the newest technological service being offered at Disney parks called Disney MultiPass. The service helps you plan your day, and more importantly, offers the opportunity to take advantage of the Lightning Lane, an expedited queue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, what’s the difference between Disney MultiPass and a Disney World Lightning pass? First, Disney MultiPass is an all-encompassing service that allows you to prebook ride times in a shortened virtual queue. The name of the shortened queue is Lightning Lane. So, you book a Disney MultiPass in order to use the Lightning Lane. Hence, the nickname, Disney World Lightning Pass. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To get started booking a Disney World MultiPass, you’ll need access to the Disney World app. Here, you can easily review wait times for all attractions.<\/p>\n\n\n

If you find that all of the attractions you want to experience have very long queues (wait times), you might want to sign up for a Lightning Pass (Lightning Lane Multi Pass), allowing you to skip the regular queue on rides by booking an hour-long return window to visit the Lightning Lane – an expedited queue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simply show up at the ride during your pre-booked ride window, and you\u2019ll be granted access via the Lightning Lane.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Disney World Lightning Pass (Lightning Lane Multi Pass) has a per day cost, which has a tendency to set some guests back on their heels. However, you can use this pass all day, for any Lightning Lane enabled ride, until the Lightning passes run out for the day. As an added perk, the cost is far cheaper than a similar offering at Universal Studios and does provide a number of additional benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you aren’t familiar with how Lightning Passes work, be sure to read our article on Disney World Lightning Lane Multi Pass<\/a>. Of, keep ready to understand the biggest benefits of the Disney MultiPass service (Lightning Lane Pass)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Save Time in Line with Your Disney World Lightning Pass<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

By using a Lightning Pass, you\u2019ll naturally save time in line. You can book up to 3 Lightning Lane Multi Pass reservations 3-7 days before the start of your trip for the entire length of your visit. Once you use one, you can easily book another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What this means in a nutshell is easily explained by an example. By accessing My Tip Board via the My Disney Experience app, I can see that the current wait for Sinky Dog Dash is 80 minutes. Reference the screenshot from the Disney World app below.<\/p>\n\n\n

I could easily wait the 80 minutes in line, or I can book a pass to the Disney World Lightning Lane, go experience other attractions with shorter waits, and come back at a specified time to ride with little to no wait. Remember, a Disney Multi Pass reservation provides you with a one-hour window to return to the ride and enter through the faster Lightning Lane (expedited queue).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By opting out of the regular queue for rides with long lines, in favor of a Lightning Lane pass, you\u2019ll be spending less time overall queueing to experience the fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Get More Done in a Day with a Disney World Lightning Pass<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of the most difficult things about a trip to Disney World, is finding time to experience all of the attractions in a single day. Even if you take a longer trip and give yourself a couple days at each park, you may not find time for everything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Part of the reason for missing out is the time you spend in line. Some peak attractions, such as <\/a>Frozen in EPCOT, can rack up standby lines with waits of an hour or more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With a Disney World Lightning Pass, you\u2019ll be skipping that regular queue and spending less time in line, allowing you to experience more attractions in a single day, including parades, shows and impromptu character or cast member interactions, without feeling like you\u2019re missing out on prime attractions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of our favorite things to do is to experience a few rides and then take some time to just wander around the park, soaking in the magic and making note of all the rich thematic details. Many of the most awesome elements of your time in the parks can be easily overlooked if you\u2019re rushing from one attraction to another. A Disney World Lightning Lane pass will save you time in line and let you soak up more of the magic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
