Lightning Lane Single Pass vs Multi Pass at Disney World

What is the difference between Single Pass and Multi Pass?

Disney's Parks Blog post from July 2024 describes the split. From July 24 of that year, Disney Genie+ became Lightning Lane Multi Pass, and the individual Lightning Lane became Lightning Lane Single Pass.

The blog says Multi Pass lets a guest make up to 3 Lightning Lane selections in a theme park in advance and choose from available times. After using a selection, guests check the My Disney Experience app for availability to make another.

Single Pass lets a guest secure a time to ride one of the most highly demanded attractions. The blog says it can now be bought and planned in advance. That post is from the launch period, so treat its rules as a starting point, not the latest word.

Which rides use which pass?

Disney's Lightning Lane page is organized by park. We only have partial text from it, so these are the entries it clearly shows, as of Oct. 22, 2026:

• Animal Kingdom: Avatar Flight of Passage is the Single Pass attraction, labeled 'Not Available with the Multi Pass.' Disney says a Multi Pass for the park lets guests choose up to 3 listed experiences with arrival windows.
• EPCOT: Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind is listed under Premier Pass experiences. An EPCOT Multi Pass lets guests choose up to 3 experiences with arrival windows. Choices are grouped, and some groups allow 'up to one experience.' One group is Frozen Ever After, Remy's Ratatouille Adventure and Test Track.
• Magic Kingdom: Seven Dwarfs Mine Train and TRON Lightcycle / Run appear on the page, but the text we have doesn't show their group heading. We can't say whether they are Single Pass or Multi Pass.
• Hollywood Studios: The sources we have don't cover it.

Disney's pages change, and a ride's pass type can change with them. Check the live page for your park and date.

What is Premier Pass?

Disney's page says Premier Pass gives one-time entry to each available Lightning Lane experience in one park for one day. It includes both Single Pass attractions and Multi Pass experiences.

How many passes can you hold at once?

Disney's page says a guest may hold one Multi Pass, which can carry up to 3 selections at once, plus one Premier Pass and up to 2 Single Passes, subject to availability.

How do you buy each pass, and what does it cost?

The official pages we have don't answer this. They don't list prices, booking windows, or the exact purchase steps, and they don't say whether Single Pass can be bought together with Multi Pass in one transaction. Check Disney's live Lightning Lane page and My Disney Experience for current prices and timing.

Can an app help with Multi Pass return times?

Standby's Booking Assist is a separate iPhone feature that works with Walt Disney World Lightning Lane Multi Pass return times you buy yourself; it does not cover Single Pass or Premier Pass. Earlier times depend on Disney availability. Details are at https://joinstandby.com/booking-assist.
