Lightning Lane Multi Pass Priorities At Hollywood Studios

Lightning Lane Multi-Pass (LLMP) priorities should be at every Disney World park. Because, in case you didn’t know, LLMP can be complicated and frustrating. And if you don’t do your research, you can get stuck paying a lot of money to only skip 2 or 3 waits each day, and that would be a bummer. And if you’re not a nerd like me, spending hours and hours studying LLMP can be equally frustrating and painful.
So for the portion of the population that doesn’t want to do all of that research, I’m offering these simpler priority lists. They combine information about booking attractions that you should enjoy, which can save you the most time, and before they tend to sell out for the day. And of course, they’re based on data. Because if you find a list that’s not based on data, run away!

Explain the Math
Even if we limit ourselves to ranking LLMP attractions with math, and not with our “feelings“, there are still many ways to do that ranking. In this post, I am going to aggregate three of those measures by doing a simple average.

Rank by average availability, ascending – the attraction in each park that typically sells out first will receive rank 1, and the attraction in each park that maintains book now/ride now availability the most through the day receives the lowest rank.
Rank by average time savings, descending – the attraction in each park where LLMP typically saves the most time compared to standby will receive rank 1, and the attraction in each park where LLMP typically saves the least time compared to standby will receive the lowest rank.
Rank by attraction satisfaction, descending – the attraction in each park with the highest overall average satisfaction from the past two years will receive rank 1, and the attraction in each park with the lowest overall average satisfaction from 2024 will receive the lowest rank.

Once I calculated all three ranks, then I averaged the three results and sorted from the score that was closest to one all the way to the highest number. I used those averages to come up with the following prioritized list! Phew.
Prioritized List of Hollywood Studios Lightning Lane Multi Pass Tier One Attractions
If you’re not lucky enough to breeze through the line during a special event, Slinky Dog Dash is an obvious choice for a LLMP reservation.
1. Slinky Dog Dash
Availability Score = 1 out of 4
Time Savings Score = 1 out of 4
Satisfaction Score = 2 out of 4
Slinky retains its rightful place at the top of the priority list at Hollywood Studios! It used to always sell out before any other option across all of WDW. Now it loses that title to Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, but it still sells out days in advance in most crowd conditions. It saves you more time than any other attraction in the park (around 35 minutes). And on top of that, it has the second-highest satisfaction of any tier-one attraction in the park. It’s a triple threat, and should be your top priority.
Runaway Railway is back near the top!
2. Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway
Availability Score = 3 out of 4
Time Savings Score = 3 out of 4 (tie)
Satisfaction Score = 1 out of 4
Runaway Railway is something of a sleeper hit for a LLMP tier one reservation. Its wait time savings are decent – averaging 20 minutes over the past 3 months. It’s also been selling out by midday on medium crowd days. All of that, combined with a satisfaction score of 4.6 means it gets 2nd place for Tier One.
If you are travelling with young kids and are using LLMP, this priority should very obviously shift up in your individual rankings since they don’t qualify for a lot of the other attractions. Or, y’know, you can use LLMP and rider swap for the adults to have a fun day, and just let the kids dance with Disney Junior stars all day.
Rock’n’Roller Coaster showing up “last” on the Tier One list speaks volumes about the quality of this lineup.
3. Rock’n’Roller Coaster
Availability Score = 2 out of 4
Time Savings Score = 2 out of 4
Satisfaction Score = 4 out of 4
Rock’n’Roller Coaster is a tricky attraction. Its downtime issues seem to be a thing of the past (knocks on wood) after two lengthy refurbishments. And single rider typically doesn’t save very much time compared to standby. But LLMP time savings have trended up over the past 3 months – averaging 22 minutes. Its relatively low satisfaction score of 4.3 slots it into last place for satisfaction out of the Hollywood Studios tier one attractions. So that has it coming in after Runaway Railway in overall rankings.
We like re-riding Millennium Falcon during our trips if possible so that we can each experience multiple roles!
4. Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run
Availability Score = 4 out of 4
Time Savings Score = 3 out of 4 (tie)
Satisfaction Score = 3 out of 4
This is where I question whether I should’ve added a “Star Wars Quotient” to my equation. Because … Millennium Falcon is a lot of fun. Alas, I’ve already made the rules and now I have to abide by them.
The first time we updated this list, Millennium Falcon was booking up second out of all attractions in Hollywood Studios. And … my, how times have changed. Now it’s the tier one attraction that is available longest every day – during low season it’s frequently available until late in the evening. But, it can still save you a good amount of time compared to standby, 20 minutes on average even in low crowds. Its satisfaction score is a little lower, though. “Only” 4.36 on a scale of 5, and therefore lower than quite a few other attractions at Hollywood Studios. So last place it is. You can also use a single rider queue to skip this wait instead, if you don’t mind splitting up and almost always being in the back seat of the Falcon.
Prioritized List of Hollywood Studios Lightning Lane Multi Pass Tier Two Attractions
Look at that concentration! That focus! This is a Toy Story Mania pro.
1. Toy Story Mania
Availability Score = 1 out of 4
Time Savings Score = 1 out of 4
Satisfaction Score = 1 out of 4
Toy Story Mania has the highest satisfaction score out of any LLMP attraction at Hollywood Studios. In fact, it beats out any attractions/entertainment at the park other than Rise of the Resistance.
In the LLMP era, availability here is also really terrible. As one of only two actually good tier-two attractions at Hollywood Studios, Toy Story Mania books up very far in advance (at least a day in advance, in all but low crowds). Time savings also compete with a couple of tier-one options, in the 20-minute range. It’s the perfect tier-two choice. And it’s the easy top option at Hollywood Studios, especially for families with younger kids.
Spoiler Alert: if the area is this empty, you probably don’t need an LLMP reservation for Tower of Terror.
2. Tower of Terror
Availability Score = 2 out of 4
Time Savings Score = 2 out of 4
Satisfaction Score = 2 out of 4
Time savings at Tower of Terror have been hovering around an average of 15 minutes – better than any of the other tier-two attractions later in this list, but not overly impressive. A lot of this is thanks to a significant amount of waiting after the Lightning Lane merges with the standby queue. But its satisfaction is higher than everything other than Toy Story Mania, and it sells out almost as fast as Toy Story Mania, so it’s once again an easy pick for this slot.
There’s really no good reason to wait for more than 10 minutes for a ride on the saucers. If you’ve got a reservation to make and all other priorities are gone … I guess you could default to this. ©Disney
3. Alien Swirling Saucers
Availability Score = 3 out of 4
Time Savings Score = 3 out of 4
Satisfaction Score = 4 out of 4
IF you plan on riding Alien Swirling Saucers, please please only do it with LLMP, or when the posted wait is something like 15 minutes or less. It’s just not worth anything more, as showcased by its worst-in-park satisfaction ranking. But don’t get this reservation before any of the others already covered by this list – it should be available into the early evening under most crowd conditions.
Your time savings probably won’t be great, thanks to Batuu absorbing all of the Star Wars fans – but it’s still a great ride. Or 54 rides if you count all of the options.
4. Star Tours
Availability Score = 4 out of 4
Time Savings Score = 4 out of 4
Satisfaction Score = 3 out of 4
Star Tours has the best availability out of any Hollywood Studios attraction, which earns it the last-place availability ranking. Its decent satisfaction score (4.2) can’t balance out that high availability. You can save some time by using LLMP, but Star Tours doesn’t typically generate high standby waits compared to many of the other attractions in this park. This all lands Star Tours lower in priority.
What Does This Mean to You?

LLMP availability at Hollywood Studios is still worse than any other park on the whole, but the attractions that sell out first have switched up a bunch since the Genie+ era. Tower of Terror and Toy Story Mania now join Slinky by regularly booking up into the evening before the day even begins. Effectively using LLMP is tricky.
Most of the tier-two options at Hollywood Studios are shows. Don’t be fooled into using these LLMP reservations other than on the MOST crowded days. Situations where they’ll save you any time are very rare.
Hollywood Studios attractions tend to have more regular availability refreshes than any other park. So if you plan ahead and watch for these drops, you can save a lot of time with LLMP even when most attractions are “sold out” for the day.
