How much do lightning lane passes cost at Disneyland?

The daily cost ranges from $25 to $35 per person. For a fixed daily price, Genie+ gets you next available access to Lightning Lane queues at many attractions, one-at-a time. Prices vary by attraction and day of year, ranging from $15 to $28 per person, per ride. You do not need to purchase Genie+ to purchase.



At Disneyland Resort in California, the cost of Lightning Lane Multi Pass (formerly Genie+) starts at $32 to $34 per person, per day, but prices can fluctuate significantly based on the date and expected crowd levels. During peak holiday seasons or busy weekends, the price can climb to $40 or more. This pass allows you to select return times for over 20 popular attractions across both Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure. In addition to the Multi Pass, certain high-demand rides like Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance and Radiator Springs Racers require a separate Individual Lightning Lane purchase, which typically ranges from $15 to $35 per person depending on the day. For the ultimate "skip-the-line" experience, Disney also recently introduced the Lightning Lane Premier Pass, which allows for a one-time entry into every available Lightning Lane without needing to schedule a return time, though this luxury option costs between $300 and $450 per person depending on the season. Because these passes are subject to daily capacity, it is highly recommended to purchase them as early as possible through the Disneyland app to secure your spot.
