Is there a fast pass for Animal Kingdom?

Non-resort guests can book reservations up to 30 days in advance of each day of their theme park visit — starting at 7 a.m. Eastern Time. Disney's Animal Kingdom does have a tiered FastPass+ system, but the Animal Kingdom FastPass tiers are fairly simple.



As of 2026, the traditional "FastPass" system has been replaced by the Lightning Lane Multi Pass, which is a paid service that allows you to "skip the line" at eight of the most popular attractions in Disney's Animal Kingdom. For a daily fee (typically ranging from $20 to $35 depending on the day), you can use the My Disney Experience app to book arrival windows for rides like Kilimanjaro Safaris, Expedition Everest, and Na'vi River Journey. Guests staying at a Disney Resort can make their first three selections up to 7 days in advance, while non-resort guests can book 3 days out. It is important to note that Avatar Flight of Passage is usually an "Individual Lightning Lane Single Pass" attraction, which must be purchased separately from the Multi Pass if you want to bypass its long standby line. While Animal Kingdom has fewer "Lightning Lane" rides than other parks, using the system can help you finish the park’s main headliners by early afternoon, leaving you time to enjoy the walking trails and animal exhibits without rushing.
