2 Lightning Lane Changes Have Hit Disney's Hollywood Studios

Two huge Lightning Lane changes have officially hit Disney World, and it could affect how you go about planning your Disney day going forward!

Hollywood Studios

Disney’s Hollywood Studios is looking completely different! Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets is finally open, Walt Disney Studios is here and ready to be explored, and even Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run is a whole new experience. With new stuff coming to the park, there have been some BIG Lightning Lane changes that you need to know about!

Getting Lightning Lane at Hollywood Studios is getting more complex with two new additions to the Lightning Lane options at the park. The first one we’ll look at is that the new Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets is now officially a Lightning Lane Multi Pass option!

Let’s ride Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster!

When purchasing a Lightning Lane Multi Pass for Hollywood Studios, you’ll be prompted to choose up to 3 multi-pass experiences and arrival windows. The decision for choosing is going to be a little more difficult, as you can only choose ONE tier 1 experience between Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway, Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run, Slinky Dog Dash, and now Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets.

With changes made to both Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster and Smugglers Run, it’s a little more difficult to choose which you’ll want to use Lightning Lane on. Throw in the popularity of Mickey and Minnie and the long wait for Slinky Dog. It’s nothing we haven’t seen before, as the original Aerosmith version was first-tier for Lightning Lane Multi Pass, but it will take some getting used to again.

Ready to rock!

The next Lightning Lane change at Hollywood Studios is over at the new Walt Disney Studios area. No, it has nothing to do with the Magic of Disney Animation. It’s actually for the brand-new Disney Jr. Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Live! show.

The show featuring Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, Daisy, and Pluto in a fun-filled party is also a part of the Lightning Lane Multi Pass line. It will be part of the second-tier Lightning Lane offerings. So don’t stress about throwing this into the selection of tier one experiences, where you can only choose one.

The last show that was in the same location was also a second-tier Lightning Lane attraction, so this follows the same path. If you want to learn more about the Lightning Lane system, take a look at the different kinds of Lightning Lanes in Disney World:

Just remember that if you get the Lightning Lane Multi Pass, you can select three attractions to skip the line for in your chosen park before your trip even begins. You can choose one from Tier One and two from Tier Two. As you use your Lightning Lanes throughout the day, you can book new ones for attractions that are still available for the day.
