Is there a lightning lane for Pirates of the Caribbean Disneyland?

Pirates of the Caribbean has a Standby Line and a Lightning Lane.



No, as of 2026, Pirates of the Caribbean at Disneyland Park does not have a Lightning Lane and operates with a standby-only queue. While the attraction was temporarily added to the "Genie+" (now Lightning Lane Multi Pass) system in early 2024 to help with crowd flow during the Haunted Mansion and Tiana's Bayou Adventure construction projects, this was a short-term measure. Disney officially removed the Lightning Lane for Pirates on July 1, 2025, returning it to its traditional "high-capacity" standby status. This is actually a positive for many guests, as without a Lightning Lane "merging" into the line, the standby queue moves significantly faster and more consistently. If you want to ride with the shortest wait, it is best to visit during the "fireworks lull" or in the final hour before the park closes. While other New Orleans Square attractions may utilize the Lightning Lane Multi Pass, Pirates remains a classic, walk-on-style experience that rewards those who time their visit to the "off-peak" hours of the day.
