Disneyland Removes Pirates of the Caribbean From Lightning Lane

The move aims to ease congestion by shortening standby wait times now that nearby rides have reopened.

Overview

  • As of July 1, Pirates of the Caribbean no longer accepts Lightning Lane passes and returns to standby-only access.
  • The ride was first added to Lightning Lane in January 2024 to offset closures of Splash Mountain and Haunted Mansion.
  • Disneyland officials expect the change to reduce queue bottlenecks and lower wait times on Pirates of the Caribbean.
  • Lightning Lane remains in use for other high-demand attractions with variable-priced multi and single passes.
  • The dynamic pass system replaced Genie+ in July 2024 to offer advance reservations and date-based pricing for resort guests.
