Disneyland Guests Keep Making This Lightning Lane Mistake and It's ...
Credit: Anna Fox/HarshLight, Flickr Every day at Disneyland, guests pull out their phones, open the app, and spend money on Lightning Lane selections for rides with five-minute wait times, while the attractions that genuinely need an upgrade sit at an hour or more in standby. It is one of the most consistent and most expensive mistakes in theme park planning, and it happens because most guests do not check the data before they start booking. If you have a Disneyland trip coming up and you are planning to use Lightning Lanes, the difference between a good strategy and a bad one comes down to knowing which rides actually need the pass and which ones are going to move through standby fast enough that buying Lightning Lane for them is a complete waste of a selection. The Disneyland System Disneyland currently offers three Lightning Lane tiers. The Single Pass is a separate purchase for one specific attraction, and right now, the only ride available through this option is Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance. It is not part of the Multi Pass, and if you want to skip the standby line for that attraction, the Single Pass is the only way to do it. The Multi Pass lets you book up to three attractions in advance with specific return windows. After using your first selection, you may be able to add more depending on what is available. The rides currently on the Multi Pass list at Disneyland are Autopia, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters, Haunted Mansion, Indiana Jones Adventure, it’s a small world, Matterhorn Bobsleds, Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway, Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run, Roger Rabbit’s Car Toon Spin, Space Mountain, Star Tours: The Adventures Continue, and Tiana’s Bayou Adventure.

It is the most convenient and the most expensive way to use the system. The Three Rides Worth Every Dollar Indiana Jones Adventure averages 44 minutes in standby and has hit 100 minutes at its recent peak. That is the kind of wait where a Lightning Lane selection saves you a meaningful chunk of your day rather than a few minutes. Tiana’s Bayou Adventure averages 40 minutes and has reached 120 minutes on busy days, making it one of the stronger targets on the Multi Pass list, given the consistent demand the reimagined attraction continues to generate...

The mistake is simple. They spend their Multi Pass selections on rides with five-minute wait times, only to end up standing in standby for an hour at the attractions that actually need the upgrade.

This can make things tricky if you have a larger group, but I have a few suggestions. First, be sure everyone has their tickets linked to their My Disney Experience account and that you are all connected via your Family & Friends list before you begin making Lightning Lane selections.
