Disney Confirms Summer 2026 Lightning Lane Tier Shuffle

The company is moving several high-profile returns and rethemes into paid Multi Pass tiers to steer demand and increase reservation competition this summer.

Overview

  • Disney confirmed on May 21 that Soarin’ Across America will rejoin Lightning Lane Multi Pass as a Tier 2 attraction when it returns to EPCOT on May 26.
  • Rock ’n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets will open as a Tier 1 Multi Pass ride at Disney’s Hollywood Studios and join other top-tier headliners in booking priority.
  • Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run will stay a Tier 1 Multi Pass attraction and receive new missions, refreshed story beats, and upgraded interactive engineer controls tied to The Mandalorian and Grogu.
  • Disney Jr.’s Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Live! will enter the Multi Pass lineup as a Tier 2 offering, expanding family-focused reservation options at Hollywood Studios.
  • Lightning Lane prices continue to rise, with Multi Pass peaks around $45 at Magic Kingdom and typical park ranges of $32–$39, which combined with the tier changes is expected to heighten competition and add to summer vacation costs.
