Lightning Lane Sell-Out Times at Walt Disney World
When each Single Pass ride sells out, how often, and whether it comes back, measured from our own pricing checks on 102 days between April 11, 2026 and September 24, 2026.
Single Pass sell-out times by ride
Percentages are out of the days the ride was on sale at one or more of our same-day checks. Times are the first check where it was gone, so they're accurate to about 30 minutes.

Those days are left out of the percentages above: our checks only record whether a price was shown, so we can't tell a ride that sold out in advance from one that wasn't on sale or wasn't captured.
Gone before 7 AM and not back by our last check (excluded from the time columns, since same-day Single Pass sales for most guests open at 7 AM): TRON Lightcycle / Run 2 days; Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind 2 days.
Sell-outs by day of week
Share of on-sale days the ride was gone for the day, then the median time it went. A dash means fewer than 3 matching days, too few to show.

Multi Pass: days it stopped being offered
Multi Pass is one purchase per park-day. Counted only on checks that actually looked at the Multi Pass screen (recorded since July 19, 2026). Late-afternoon disappearances can be Disney ending same-day sales ahead of park close rather than demand; our checks don't record which.

Methodology
- Source. RopeDrop's own Lightning Lane pricing captures from the Walt Disney World app: 7,539 same-day checks on 102 days between April 11, 2026 and September 24, 2026. 65 of those 167 calendar days had no same-day capture and are not counted.
- Timing. Checks run roughly every 30 minutes from early morning until late afternoon or early evening. A time shown is the first check where the ride was no longer offered, so the real sell-out happened within about 30 minutes before it. Nothing after our last check of the day is known.
- "Sold out" means "no price shown". Our checks see only whether a ride was on sale, not why it wasn't. A ride can drop off briefly for other reasons, which is why "gone for the day" is tracked separately from "sold out at least once".
- Excluded. Checks from our separate Premier Pass capture, which doesn't read Single Pass or Multi Pass prices, and checks made on earlier dates for future days. Rides need 10 or more on-sale days to be listed, and a median time needs 5 or more days.
Frequently asked questions
What time do Lightning Lane Single Passes sell out at Walt Disney World?
On days a ride sold out and stayed sold out through our last check of the day, the median time we first saw it gone for good was: Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind around 1:15 PM (49 days); TRON Lightcycle / Run around 2:30 PM (36 days); Seven Dwarfs Mine Train around 3:55 PM (58 days); Avatar Flight of Passage around 4:45 PM (13 days); Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance around 6:00 PM (12 days). Times are Eastern, from pricing checks about every 30 minutes, tracked April 11, 2026 to September 24, 2026.
Which Lightning Lane sells out most often at Disney World?
TRON Lightcycle / Run (Magic Kingdom) was gone for the rest of the day on 90% of the 42 tracked days it was on sale at our checks; it was never offered at any same-day check on another 60 days, which can mean it sold out in advance or wasn't on sale.
Do Lightning Lane Single Passes come back after selling out?
It depends on the ride. In our same-day checks, TRON Lightcycle / Run sold out at least once on 40 days and stayed gone on 38; Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind sold out at least once on 52 days and stayed gone on 51; Seven Dwarfs Mine Train sold out at least once on 61 days and stayed gone on 58; Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance sold out at least once on 42 days and stayed gone on 12; Avatar Flight of Passage sold out at least once on 37 days and stayed gone on 13. Where the two numbers are far apart, the ride usually came back on sale later the same day after selling out, so it can be worth checking again.
Does Lightning Lane Multi Pass sell out at Disney World?
Share of tracked days Multi Pass stopped being offered and didn't come back before our last check: Animal Kingdom 73% of 56 days (median 6:15 PM); EPCOT 2% of 56 days; Hollywood Studios 2% of 56 days; Magic Kingdom 0% of 56 days. Late-afternoon disappearances can reflect Disney ending same-day sales ahead of park close rather than demand.
