Premier Pass, Single Pass and 
Multi Pass
 
What Multi-Pass & Single Pass Are
  • Lightning Lane Multi-Pass (LLMP) = replace old Genie+; allows pre-booking of up to 3 attractions per park per day (with arrival time windows).
  • Lightning Lane Single Pass (LLSP) = for the most in-demand rides that are not included in Multi-Pass. You can purchase up to 2 Single Passes per day.]
Key Recent Updates / What’s New (as of mid-/late 2025)
  • New ride added to Multi-Pass lineup: Little Mermaid – A Musical Adventure is now available as a Multi-Pass attraction (from August 20), though its LL availability begins September 11.
  • Test Track 3.0 returned to top-tier (Group A) in EPCOT; Soarin’ Around the World kicked down to a lower group. Tiering has shifted as new experiences open or demand shifts.
  • Booking windows clarified / reinforced:
    • On-site hotel / eligible resorts guests can pre-purchase and select LLMP / LLSP 7 days in advance, for the full duration of their stay (up to 14 days).
    • Off-site guests / non-eligible hotels / Annual Passholders generally have a 3-day advance window.
Lightning Lane reservations
Multi Pass Reservations
Plan Ahead. Securing Multi Pass reservations early gives you the best shot at the most popular attractions. The good ones go fast.
Select Attractions. You'll choose 3 attractions per day with a time slot for each: 1 from Group 1, 2 from Group 2.
Time Slots. Pick windows that line up with your day. Build around meals, breaks, and your kids' energy levels, not against them.
Single Pass Reservations
Prioritize Favorites. Single Pass covers the top attractions at each park, and these are NOT included in Multi Pass. Decide which rides are non-negotiable so you don't miss out.
Availability. Single Passes go fast, especially for headliners. Book as soon as your window opens.
Flexibility. Have a backup time slot in mind in case your first choice is gone.
Premier Pass Reservations
Park Specific. You purchase Premier Pass for one specific park on one specific day. It covers every eligible Lightning Lane attraction in that park.
Best For. Bucket list trips, anniversaries, milestone birthdays, or families who want to maximize a short Disney visit without strategy stress.
Limited Quantities. Premier Pass is sold in limited daily quantities, so if this tier is on your radar, book the moment your window opens.

MODIFYING YOUR PLANS
Changed your mind? You can modify Multi Pass and Single Pass selections through the My Disney Experience app.
Tap the Lightning Lane Passes section on the home screen to find your plans, then:
  • Change your selected park and/or date in advance (subject to availability), up until you redeem your first Lightning Lane selection of the day.
  • Change each selected experience and/or arrival window in advance (subject to availability), up until the start of the arrival window.

On the day of your visit, once you redeem a Multi Pass selection (or once that arrival window has passed), you can use the app to check availability for another Multi Pass experience and add to your day.
