On the day of the visit, once a pass is used, guests can check the My Disney Experience app for additional availability.
Attractions by Tier
Lightning Lane Multi Pass will have 2 tiers of attractions at Magic Kingdom, Hollywood Studios, and EPCOT. There are no tiers at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. You can choose one selection from the first tier, and two selections from the second tier.
