Lightning Lane Single Pass
At Disneyland, only two attractions currently utilize Lightning Lane Single Pass: Rise of the Resistance at Disneyland Park and Radiator Springs Racers at Disney California Adventure. These are the two most in-demand rides at the resort with the longest standby lines. We have also seen Lightning Lane Single Pass offered temporarily for new rides when they first debuted.
This is a separate system from Lightning Lane Multi Pass, and you can hold a Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Lightning Lane Single Pass reservation simultaneously without the two interacting. See our best Disneyland Lightning Lane Multi Pass tips for making the most of the service.
The Lightning Lane Single Pass cost per person varies per ride and may fluctuate based on the season and crowd levels. Rise of the Resistance typically costs anywhere between $20-$28 per person, and Radiator Springs Racers typically costs anywhere from $17-$22 per person. During more crowded times of year like the holidays and spring break, you'll see higher prices for Lightning Lane Single Pass.
You can purchase Lightning Lane Single Pass entry after entering the park through the Tip Board on the Disneyland app. You'll see the pricing for Lightning Lane Single Pass and the earliest return time available displayed.
