Lightning Lane Multi-Cross at Disney World FAQ


This information to Lightning Lane MultiPass and Single Cross at Walt Disney World affords solutions to regularly requested questions, data & suggestions based mostly on confirmed particulars and our hypothesis based mostly on FastPass+ and Genie. It covers the way you’ll be capable to use the brand new trip reservation and line-skipping companies, off-site vs. on-site reserving home windows, and attraction tiers for Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Hollywood Studios–and rather more! (Up to date June 26, 2024.)

Walt Disney World simply dropped the bombshell information that the Lightning Lane Multi Cross is changing Genie+ at Walt Disney World. The information was introduced by way of commonplace press launch, plus movies and supplementary data on different web sites, social media, and so on. Consequently and unsurprisingly, there have been a lot of questions–even from seasoned Walt Disney World veterans.

Our announcement already has over 100 feedback, a lot of that are diehard Walt Disney World followers venting and/or grieving. Understandably. For what it’s value, we have now no drawback with you doing both–simply please confine the complaints to that submit and follow questions within the feedback right here. That is going to be a scorching subject within the days, weeks, and months to come back, and we would like to have the ability to simply discover and reply as many reader feedback as attainable. With that in thoughts, right here’s our work-in-progress FAQ to Lightning Lane MultiPass and Single Cross at Walt Disney World…

“There’s no trigger for alarm. Flip off that alarm!”

On days like at present, I really feel like Tal Marik throughout the pre-show of Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind. Walt Disney World killing off Genie+ and changing it with Lightning Lane Multi-Cross is large, paradigm-shifting information. It’s going to alter quite a lot of methods frequent followers go to the parks. It’s going to trigger many planners to return to the drafting board, rethinking how they method Walt Disney World. As mentioned in our announcement, it’s going to create winners and losers. All of that’s pretty plain.

You might already know you’re within the “losers” camp simply based mostly on the small print already revealed, by which case you will have our honest sympathies. Significantly. However it’s additionally true that Walt Disney World planners are notoriously change-averse and have familiarity bias. If this similar announcement was made again between December 2021 and September 2022, the overwhelming response would’ve been: ding dong, the witch is lifeless.

Historical past bears this out. The unique FastPass was controversial amongst Walt Disney World followers in 1999, earlier than changing into beloved. FastPass+ was likewise a reviled substitute amongst followers who had mastered the paper FastPass system. Disneyland’s launch of MaxPass was met with outrage and complaints, however its use and recognition rapidly elevated as Disneyland diehards used it within the parks. We all know as a result of that was us! After hating all the pieces MaxPass stood for, we received hooked on it, and have become MaxPass cheerleaders. Even now, we yearn for a return to MaxPass.

It’s an identical story with Genie, which was virtually universally hated at first however turned…accepted…(“beloved” could be a really inaccurate phrase selection) over time. Already, there are tons of followers mourning the lack of Genie+ in favor of the brand new system. Attempt to assume again to late 2021–it wasn’t that way back, however seems like an eternity in the past–are you able to actually think about anybody being upset at shedding that?!

Level being, I might begin by recommending most longtime Walt Disney World followers who’re offended, upset, scared, and so on., begin by taking a deep breath. Collectively, you’ve mastered and “crushed” each previous iteration of line-skipping Walt Disney World has thrown at you. There’s completely no cause to consider Lightning Lane Multi-Cross might be any totally different. Sure, there might be winners and losers–however you’re the high-knowledge followers positioned to at all times be within the “winners” camp.

Belief me, as somebody who has had a while to ‘marinate’ on the specifics of this new system…I’m fairly assured of that. Most of the similar followers who’re upset will turn out to be accustomed to the Lightning Lane Multi Cross system will study its ins and outs, and easy methods to strategically exploit the system–simply as they’ve with FastPass+ and Genie+ earlier than it. The facility customers will at all times discover out a solution to come out forward, similar as they ever have. So don’t promote your self quick!

With that out of the way in which, on with the Lightning Lane Multi-Cross FAQ…

Why is Walt Disney World making this alteration?

That is one other in Walt Disney World’s line of “we’re listening” modifications. In response to the corporate, Walt Disney World company have advised them that they would like to have the choice to do extra of their planning earlier than their theme park day. Lightning Lane Multi-Cross and Single Cross accomplish this, whereas additionally offering extra certainty and permitting company to coordinate trip reservations with ADRs and different plans.

Unofficially, we’ve heard that the 2 largest complaints Walt Disney World has acquired about Genie+ are the 7 a.m. wake-up name on trip and an excessive amount of display time throughout the day. This successfully strikes that early wake-up name, together with among the stress and complications related to planning to earlier than the holiday. If there is a matter, confusion, or frustration–now it’s taking place at residence as a substitute of setting a bitter observe to begin the day whereas at Walt Disney World.

How does Lightning Lane Multi-Cross and Single Day differ from Genie+ and Particular person Lightning Lanes? 

Lightning Lane Multi Cross will exchange Disney Genie+ service, and Lightning Lane Single Cross will exchange particular person “à la carte” Lightning Lane entry for theme park visits starting July 24, 2024.

Beginning July 24, you should buy Lightning Lane passes and make picks days prematurely of your arrival—which supplies you extra time to plan your go to! The pre-arrival part is the largest change, however as mentioned deeper on this information, there are quite a few different modifications. It’s not merely a rebranding at Walt Disney World–it’s an entire overhaul that arguably has extra in widespread with FastPass+ than Genie+.

For these visiting the theme parks earlier than July 24, 2024, Disney Genie+ service and particular person Lightning Lane entry will nonetheless be accessible. Seek the advice of our FAQ for Genie+ and Lightning Lanes at Walt Disney World as a substitute of this.

What are the reserving home windows for Lightning Lane Passes?

Visitors staying at an on-site Walt Disney World Resort lodge and different choose lodges will be capable to plan Lightning Lane passes as much as 7 days prematurely, for his or her whole keep (as much as 14 days). Off-site company can plan as much as 3 days prematurely.

Visitors should purchase Lightning Lane passes for days they’ve legitimate theme park admission beginning at 7:00 AM Jap Time on their first day of eligibility.

Not staying at a Disney Resort lodge or different choose lodge?

Then you should buy Lightning Lane passes—and select experiences and arrival home windows—3 days prematurely. This varies additional based mostly on admission sort:

  • Visitors with date-based theme park tickets (which require the Visitor to decide on a begin date on the time of buy) should purchase 3 days earlier than the primary day of their ticket, for the whole variety of legitimate admission days on their ticket.
  • Visitors with different ticket varieties should purchase 3 days earlier than their park go to.
  • Annual Passholders should purchase 3 days earlier than their park go to.

What does the July 24 begin date really imply by way of making picks or for company with overlapping journeys. 

July 24, 2024 is each the roll-out date and the date that everybody can begin making picks. Which means that should you’re visiting on July 23, you utilize the outdated system. When you’re visiting on July 24, you utilize the brand new system. When you’re visiting each, you utilize each.

Furthermore, the aforementioned home windows are shortened for many who are visiting within the days and week(s) instantly after July 24 by advantage of that simultaneous begin and rollout date.

Suffice to say, July 24 goes to be a “enjoyable” day. Not solely is it a model new system, however there might be 2-3 weeks value of company all attempting to make their Lightning Lane picks that very same day. Don’t be shocked if Sew makes an look and eats a web page or two. Even when it’s a lot improved, that is nonetheless Disney IT, in any case!

When can worldwide company buy Lightning Lanes? 

They’ll buy Lightning Lane passes and make picks upon arrival into the USA.

As for the why of this, it’s in all probability not as a result of Walt Disney World hates worldwide company. Though it would appear that manner on this one explicit subject, Walt Disney World really loves company from outdoors the USA. They’re extra of a captive viewers, have increased per visitor spending metrics, and sometimes do longer stays. For this reason we routinely consult with British company as Walt Disney World’s “whales” (non-derogatory).

We’ve reached out to Walt Disney World for an official rationalization however haven’t acquired a response (and doubtless gained’t). In doing extra digging, it’s my understanding that this was a recognized subject and there was an answer–constructing a web-based model of the Lightning Lane Multi Cross reserving engine–however Disney opted in opposition to doing that for no matter cause.

That’s in all probability an unsatisfying rationalization, but it surely’s possible the explanation why. Make no mistake, we aren’t justifying this resolution by Walt Disney World. If I had been a world visitor–a so-called whale that Disney  purports to worth–I might be furious. Completely irate.

I nonetheless assume worldwide company will be capable to workaround this. Utilizing U.S. based mostly Licensed Disney Trip Planners is one possibility. Calling Walt Disney World and having a Solid Member make your picks is one other. (Actually, this is perhaps one of the best route, as increased labor prices may drive Disney’s hand to create a web-based model.) Or should you vote together with your pockets and take what you are promoting to Common since you don’t really feel valued by Disney, I don’t assume anybody would blame you.

This implies there in all probability gained’t be decision to this drawback within the weeks and months to come back, because it’s deliberate fairly than unintended. With that stated, this additionally implies that Walt Disney World in all probability doesn’t care should you use VPNs, GPS spoofers, and different strategies to aspect step this “rule.” (Not that we’re endorsing rule-breaking…however we aren’t not endorsing it right here, both.)

What qualifies as an eligible lodge for the early reserving window at Walt Disney World?

This early-planning profit is accessible to registered company staying on the following resorts:

  • Disney’s All-Star Films Resort
  • Disney’s All-Star Music Resort
  • Disney’s All-Star Sports activities Resort
  • Disney’s Artwork of Animation Resort
  • Disney’s Pop Century Resort

  • Villas at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa

In addition to the next third get together lodges:

  • Walt Disney World Dolphin Lodge
  • Walt Disney World Swan Lodge
  • Walt Disney World Swan Reserve
  • Shades of Inexperienced Resort

What about Disney Trip Membership? 

There’s no cause to consider this may work any otherwise for DVC, no matter whether or not you’re an proprietor (blue card or no) or renting Disney Trip Membership factors.

As with each Prolonged Night Hours and Early Entry, it’s about the place you’re staying–not the way you’re staying there. Frankly, I don’t even assume Walt Disney World’s system would permit them to ‘discriminate’ based mostly on how the reservation was booked.

Once more, that is unconfirmed for now, however I’m 99.99% certain those that hire factors or guide with DVC factors by no matter means could have entry to the on-site benefit. You simply want to verify your reservation is correctly linked to your MDX account.

Can Lightning Lane Single and Multi-Cross each be bought collectively?

Sure.

Not solely can you purchase each, however you should buy all Lightning Lane passes on your journey get together for a similar day in a single transaction.

Can a number of days be bought on the similar time?

Not in the identical transaction, however on the similar time.

After you buy Lightning Lane passes on your first day, you should buy a Lightning Lane cross or passes for an additional eligible park day. This can assist you take pleasure in streamlined trip planning, since you may make Lightning Lane plans for a number of days—all in the identical day, earlier than you arrive.

How a lot does Lightning Lane Multi-Cross value?

Costs for Lightning Lane Multi Passes range by date and theme park. Costs for Lightning Lane Single Passes range by date and attraction.

Starting July 24, 2024, you’ll be capable to view costs within the My Disney Expertise (MDX) app.

In response to Walt Disney World, company can anticipate related pricing to Genie+ when Lightning Lane Multi-Cross launches. The important thing phrases there, in our view, are when it launches. Summer season will not be peak season, so we wouldn’t anticipate a value enhance straight away given demand. October by December are when to observe for increased charges. Suffice to say, we’ll be more than happy if Lightning Lane Multi Cross peaks at $39, which is the present excessive for the Genie+ service.

What number of pre-arrival attraction picks may be made with Lightning Lane MultiPass? 

If you buy Lightning Lane Multi Cross, chances are you’ll make as much as 3 Lightning Lane picks in a theme park, prematurely of your go to. You’ll additionally be capable to select accessible instances as you make your picks.

That is per particular person and per day, not at some stage in your go to. Which means that should you purchase sooner or later of Lightning Lane Multi-Cross, you’ll make 3 picks. If you are going to buy the service for 4 days, you get 3 per day for 4 days (4×3=12). You get the thought, hopefully.

When can subsequent picks on the day of a theme park go to? 

On the day of your park go to, when you redeem a range, you need to use the My Disney Expertise app to examine availability for an additional Lightning Lane Multi Cross expertise—and add to your plans.

Take into account this the “rolling 3 rule,” which is to say which you could at all times have 3 Lightning Lane picks (topic to availability). With the rolling 3 rule of Lightning Lane Multi-Cross, you may make your subsequent trip reservation as quickly as you’ve used one.

That is in contrast to FastPass+, which required you to redeem all 3 prebooked trip reservations earlier than making extra picks.

What does this do for a “stacking sleep-in technique”?

As you may’ve guessed, it kinda obliterates it.

Whilst you can nonetheless make 3 picks for the afternoon–or actually each time–the Lightning Lane Multi-Cross system incentives planners to schedule picks earlier within the day to be able to begin making subsequent trip reservations. Clearly, it’s nonetheless early and technique will emerge within the weeks and months to come back–as will a ‘candy spot’ for scheduling Lightning Lanes, however the stacking and late arrival method is now–for sure–suboptimal.

What in regards to the 120 minute rule?

It’s gone, too.

For all intents and functions, the rolling 3 rule replaces the “stacking system” of Genie+.

Will re-rides be attainable?

Simply as with Genie+, you gained’t be capable to guide the identical Lightning Lane greater than as soon as per day.

Are you able to make Lightning Lane Multi-Cross picks when planning to Park Hop?  

Sure. If you buy a Lightning Lane Multi Cross for a theme park, you’ll be prompted to decide on as much as 3 multi cross experiences and arrival home windows in the identical theme park.

When you redeem a range on the day of your park go to, you need to use the My Disney Expertise app to decide on one other multi cross expertise in any Walt Disney World theme park (topic to availability), so long as you will have a legitimate ticket with the Park Hopper possibility or an Annual Cross.

Genie+ at present fees additional for the multi-park function, will there be an improve value with Lightning Lane Multi-Cross? 

No. There isn’t any extra cost for Park Hopping, and you do not want to pay for the Lightning Lane Multi-Cross a second time.

Upfront costs will differ, simply as they do at present…that means that company buying for Magic Kingdom will, for all intents and functions, nonetheless be paying the multi-park or Park Hopping value. (Since that’s at present an identical to the Magic Kingdom value every single day.) However these beginning in Animal Kingdom, for no matter cause, will obtain “free” Park Hopping. Small victory?

Can Lightning Lanes nonetheless be modified? 

Sure. To view and/or modify your trip reservations, open MDX and faucet on the Lightning Lane Passes part of the house display. Then, you’ll be capable to:

  • View your Lightning Lane passes and picks—in addition to different plans, similar to eating reservations
  • Modify your Lightning Lane picks, topic to availability

This could work very equally to Genie+ or FastPass+ and might be advantageous for many who don’t get their splendid trip reservation instances to begin, or discover themselves with a scheduling battle.

What occurs to Lightning Lane picks should you cancel a resort reservation? 

When you cancel or modify your Resort lodge reservation after you’ve already bought a Lightning Lane Multi Cross, then your chosen sights and arrival home windows are topic to cancellation based mostly on eligibility guidelines. Lightning Lane Multi Cross is nonrefundable.

  • Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular
  • Muppet*Imaginative and prescient 3D
  • Star Excursions – The Adventures Proceed
  • The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror
  • Toy Story Mania!

Which sights are in every tier for Animal Kingdom? 

Animal Kingdom doesn’t have the Group A/B dynamic, which is actually sorta stunning provided that not all sights are of equal worth in DAK, and there’s a transparent good/dangerous use of Lightning Lanes dichotomy. Our assumption is that that is based mostly on demand–or fairly, an absence thereof–obviating the necessity for tiers. Regardless, listed here are the Lightning Lane MultiPass sights at Disney’s Animal Kingdom:

  • DINOSAUR
  • Expedition Everest – Legend of the Forbidden Mountain
  • Feathered Mates in Flight!
  • Pageant of the Lion King
  • Discovering Nemo: The Large Blue… and Past!
  • It’s Robust to Be a Bug!
  • Kali River Rapids
  • Kilimanjaro Safaris
  • Naʻvi River Journey

Had been Lightning Lanes faraway from any sights? 

Sure.

Character meet & greets will now not provide Lightning Lanes, nor will parades and different leisure.

Wait, didn’t CommuniCore Corridor simply open with a Lightning Lane? 

Yep, Mickey & Mates debuted two weeks in the past in CommuniCore Corridor with a Lightning Lane. That’s now being eradicated.

Form of hilarious in a tragic type of manner that one hand didn’t know what the opposite was doing there. Regardless, an ideal encapsulation of CommuniCore Corridor as a complete. Simply the chef’s kiss on that complete venture.

Might the tiers change? 

As at all times, the entire sights on the above lists are topic to alter as dictated by demand and no matter different parameters Walt Disney World makes use of. I might wager that Soarin’ is relegated to Group B as soon as Take a look at Monitor returns and reclaims its rightful spot in Group A.

I additionally wouldn’t be shocked if some character meet & greets are re-added in 2025 if Walt Disney World realizes there’s inadequate capability at current. That’s precisely what occurred within the months after Genie+ launched.

How do the tiers apply when making same-day or subsequent picks? 

They don’t.

Tiers solely apply to advance Lightning Lane Multi-Day picks. When you’ve arrived and used your first choice–or should you make reservations within the first place on the day-of versus prematurely–you aren’t sure to the groupings. You may make any picks day-of with out regard for the tiers–these solely apply to your advance bookings.

Once more, we’d be getting forward of ourselves with technique, however you must be capable to think about eventualities the place you do NOT pre-book all 3 picks and as a substitute wait till the day-of to leverage trip reservation refills and sidestep the groupings. These two issues plus Park Hopping will current some very fascinating alternatives. This is without doubt one of the large causes we’d encourage you to not freak out about Lightning Lane Multi-Day simply but. It’s gonna be enjoyable to determine easy methods to “hack” this new system!

Give me an instance.

Okay, for the sake of debate, let’s simply say that you just’re staying off-site and there are not any nice choices accessible by the point your reserving window rolls round. Fairly than selecting the least-bad possibility, you guide “it’s a small world” with a return time of 9:05 a.m.

You faucet into “it’s a small world” at the moment, wait a couple of minutes for a Lightning Lane drop time, and guide Remy’s Ratatouille Journey, Frozen Ever After, and Soarin’ Across the World suddenly. No worries about tiers, and all at a unique park that very same afternoon.

I’m not saying that precise state of affairs might be attainable–it stays to be seen based mostly on how the brand new system works–however I can inform you that I might’ve executed one thing related with the present or previous parameters of theGenie+ and FastPass+ techniques (graphed over onto the foundations of Lightning Lane Multi Cross).

Which sights are a part of Lightning Lane Single Cross?

Lightning Lane Single Cross is actually only a rebranding of the a la carte or Particular person Lightning Lanes. The brand new title offers higher continuity and makes it simple to differentiate between the 2 merchandise. In any case, right here’s the checklist:

Magic Kingdom Single Cross Points of interest (Not Obtainable with the Multi Cross): 

  • Seven Dwarfs Mine Practice
  • TRON Lightcycle Run

EPCOT Single Cross Points of interest (Not Obtainable with the Multi Cross): 

  • Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind

Hollywood Studios Single Cross Points of interest (Not Obtainable with the Multi Cross): 

  • Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance

Animal Kingdom Single Cross Points of interest (Not Obtainable with the Multi Cross): 

What occurs to digital queues?

Regrettably, nothing.

Lightning Lanes are separate and distinct from digital queues, that are at present in use at Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind and TRON Lightcycle Run.

You possibly can be part of the free digital queue and in addition pay for a Lightning Lane. The previous is an alternative choice to a standby line whereas the latter skips the road. Regardless that it’s “digital,” you’ll nonetheless have an extended watch for the trip upon returning to the digital queue than you’ll with the Lightning Lane. Upon opening, Tiana’s Bayou Journey will even use a digital queue for some period of time.

This implies the identical 7 am “boarding cross sprint” that happens now will proceed, in order that early wakeup name isn’t essentially over. At the very least for now. Except you wish to purchase your manner out of it with Lightning Lanes.

What has modified with standby strains?

Nothing.

Common ole walk-up standby strains are nonetheless accessible on all sights besides the aforementioned trio with digital queues.

Is there an on-site benefit with Lightning Lanes going ahead?

Sure, and it’s a large one–on par with the outdated FastPass+ system, albeit with a 7+14 rule as a substitute of a 60 day window. Nonetheless, the tip end result would be the similar, and that’s quite a lot of the “greatest” Lightning Lanes being scooped up earlier than off-site company may even guide.

This can be a large distinction between Lightning Lane Multi Cross and the Genie+ service. That leveled the enjoying subject fully, permitting everybody to make same-day trip reservations beginning at 7 am. The one benefit got here by way of Particular person Lightning Lanes, and that solely actually mattered when a trip was nonetheless brand-new or throughout the busiest instances of the yr.

If FastPass+ is any indication, and it virtually actually is, the headstart given to on-site company might be massively advantageous. There’s a good chance that sights like Slinky Canine Sprint, Remy’s Ratatouille Journey, Tiana’s Bayou Journey, and different tier 1 headliners gained’t even be accessible 3 days prematurely. Which means that off-site company must financial institution on same-day trip reservation refills, which ought to nonetheless exist going ahead–similar as at all times.

Are different on-site perks attainable down the highway?

That continues to be to be seen. Walt Disney World has on-site lodge occupancy targets which can be extremely necessary metrics. If bookings are low and there’s additional bandwidth within the Lightning Lanes, anticipate to see extra incentives to remain on-site. That might occur as quickly as in 2025 when Epic Universe opens and Common is presenting compelling causes to remain on-site there as a substitute.

As for what that appears like–it’s inconceivable to say. Many followers would like to see free Lightning Lanes, interval, for on-site company. We extremely doubt that can ever occur. We’d be shocked if even Deluxe Resort company get the service solely at no cost. What could possibly be attainable is ‘bonus’ picks for higher-tier resorts. That’s purely speculative and we actually wouldn’t wager on it–however Epic Universe is a possible paradigm-changer and it’s inconceivable to foretell the way it’ll change the dynamic in Central Florida, particularly with regards to resort stays.

How can we offer suggestions to Walt Disney World about Lightning Lanes?

We advocate respectfully expressing your opinions as to how Lightning Lane will affect your holidays or enterprise with Walt Disney World by e mail [email protected].

That is far superior to complaining in feedback, social media, boards, and so on. (Though Disney sees all of that, too.) Fairly than beginning petitions, that are largely ineffectual, share suggestions in visitor satisfaction surveys, carry it up should you communicate with managers or others in park management, and even contact Visitor Relations.

Simply as Genie+ advanced over its first year-plus based mostly on visitor use and demand dynamics, so can also you anticipate Lightning Lane MultiPass and Single Cross to alter all through the remainder of this yr and int 2025–that means that all the pieces above is topic to alter.
