Each day shows the earliest Lightning Lane return Disney offered in the park's first hour after official opening (the middle reading of that hour, PT). "Sold out" = no returns offered for most of that hour. "Gone" = when it sold out later that day and stayed sold out for an hour or more. "Typical day" is the median of the 7 days; a sold-out day counts as the latest. Rides need data on at least 4 days. Cancellations can bring returns back at any time.

Single Pass rides

Bought one ride at a time, separately from Multi Pass. Same measure.

Questions

Which Lightning Lane should I book first at Disneyland Resort?
Book Guardians of the Galaxy - Mission: BREAKOUT! (DCA) first: in the park's first hour its earliest Lightning Lane return was 10:45 AM or later on 5 of the 7 days we logged, Oct 19–25, 2026.
What does "earliest return in the first hour" mean?
It's the next Lightning Lane return time Disney offered for that ride during the park's first hour after official opening, from our logs of the park's ride feed (about every 5 minutes). Each day's value is the middle reading of that hour, because returns come and go with cancellations. "Sold out" means no returns were offered for most of that hour.
How are rides ranked?
By the median day over the last 7 days: the ride whose middle day had the latest earliest return is first, and a sold-out day counts as the latest. A ride needs data on at least 4 of the 7 days to be listed.
Is this a forecast?
No. It's what happened Oct 19–25, 2026. Busy weeks, holidays and parties change it, so check the live tip board on the day.
Why are some rides listed separately?
They're Single Pass rides: bought one at a time for a price, not booked with Lightning Lane Multi Pass.
