What is FastPass called now?

In the past, Disney offered a free FastPass option to skip the line at select rides by making an advance reservation with your park ticket. However, that option has been retired and replaced with paid Lightning Lane and Genie+ add-ons that work through a phone app. Here's how Disney's "new FastPass" system works.



As of February 2026, the system formerly known as FastPass has been replaced by the Lightning Lane system. Specifically, it is divided into three tiers: Lightning Lane Multi Pass, Lightning Lane Single Pass, and the ultra-premium Lightning Lane Premier Pass. The Multi Pass allows you to pre-select up to three attractions per day (7 days in advance for hotel guests, 3 days for others), while the Single Pass is for the most in-demand individual rides like Rise of the Resistance. The Premier Pass, introduced recently, allows one-time entry to every available Lightning Lane attraction at your leisure without needing to book specific windows. This 2026 system is entirely digital, managed through the My Disney Experience or Disneyland apps, and requires a paid daily fee, marking a total shift from the original free paper-ticket system.
