Lightning Lane Single Pass sells a scheduled arrival window for one of Walt Disney World's five most in-demand rides. These rides are excluded from Multi Pass, though Single Pass and Multi Pass can be purchased together.
CrowdLevels compared 90 days of standby waits and operating reliability generated July 24, 2026. Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind led the group with a 76.7-minute average wait. TRON averaged 64.9 minutes, and Avatar Flight of Passage averaged 58.9 minutes.

The reliability score uses operating samples from the same 90-day window. It describes how often the ride was operating when CrowdLevels collected valid park-hour observations. A scheduled return window still depends on the ride operating when you arrive.

Magic Kingdom: TRON first, Seven Dwarfs second
Magic Kingdom has two Single Pass rides. TRON Lightcycle / Run averaged 64.9 minutes, 17.4 minutes longer than Seven Dwarfs. Buy TRON first when the coaster is a priority and your party fits its 48-inch height requirement and motorcycle-style restraint.
Seven Dwarfs Mine Train is the cheaper family choice. It can also be an Early Entry target. A Single Pass makes more sense when your morning belongs in Adventureland, Frontierland, or somewhere other than the Fantasyland rope-drop crowd.
EPCOT: Guardians has the clearest buy case
EPCOT offers one Single Pass ride. Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind averaged 76.7 minutes across 90 days, the highest figure in this guide. The July 24 price was $18.
The pass can preserve the first hour for Test Track, Remy's Ratatouille Adventure, or Frozen Ever After. Guests prone to motion sickness should settle the ride decision before paying because the coaster uses rotating vehicles.
Hollywood Studios: compare Rise with Single Rider
Disney's Hollywood Studios offers Single Pass for Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance. Its 48.4-minute average wait was lower than Guardians, TRON, and Flight of Passage. It also had the lowest reliability score in the group at 90.7%.
Disney currently offers a free Single Rider line for Rise. That makes the paid pass easier to skip for adults and older children willing to separate. Buy it when the group wants the experience together, needs a planned time, or does not want to gamble on a changing Single Rider wait.
Animal Kingdom: buy Flight of Passage to change the morning route
Disney's Animal Kingdom offers Single Pass for Avatar Flight of Passage. It averaged 58.9 minutes and had a 98.8% reliability score, the best of the five rides.
The pass is most useful when it changes the route. Start with Kilimanjaro Safaris, Na'vi River Journey, or Expedition Everest, then return to Pandora during the selected window. Guests staying at an eligible hotel can also compare the pass with an Early Entry start at Flight of Passage.
