How Lightning Lane Works
at Walt Disney World
Multi Pass, Single Pass and Premier Pass in plain words: when you can buy, how many experiences, and what happens after you use one.
The short answer
Multi Pass lets you choose up to 3 experiences and arrival windows in one park ahead of time, then another each time you use one. Single Pass is for one in-demand attraction, up to 2 a day. Premier Pass covers one park with no arrival windows.
