Disneyland Makes Major Line Change for One Of Its Most Iconic Rides
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The Pirates of the Caribbean ride at Disneyland is losing its fast lane, meaning visitors will have to queue up for the ride. Newsweek reached out to Disney via email for comment. Why It Matters Though Disney doesn't publicly release attendance figures, the 2024 Theme Index report, cited by Disney Blog Magic Guides, shows Magic Kingdom visits rose from 12.7 million in 2021 to 17.7 million in 2023. Summer is a popular time to visit Disney, due to the schools being out for the summer. Pirates of the Caribbean Sign at Disneyland. Pirates of the Caribbean Sign at Disneyland. Barry King/WireImage What To Know The Pirates of the Caribbean ride is at Disney's Magic Kingdom and is a popular ride at the park. The description for the ride on Disney's website reads: "Set sail on a swashbuckling voyage to a long-forgotten time and place when pirates and privateers ruled the seas." The ride was added to Disney's lane pass feature, Genie+, which is now known as the Lightning Lane Multi Pass, back in January of 2024. The account @ScottGustin shared a post on X about the change in a post on June 24, which read, "Pirates of the Caribbean at Disneyland will no longer be offered as a Lightning Lane attraction starting July 1." The post has been viewed over 130,000 times as of press time. Gustin shared a follow-up in response, where he said that "Back in January 2024, Lightning Lane was added to the attraction 'temporarily' while other attractions underwent refurbs." According to guidance on the Disneyland website, the following rides are available on the Lightning Lane Multi Pass attractions: - Autopia - Big Thunder Mountain - Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters - Haunted Mansion - Indiana Jones Adventure - "It's a small world" - Matterhorn Bobsleds - Mickey & Minnie's Runaway Railway - Rodger Rabbit's Car Toon Spin - Space Mountain - Star Tours – The Adventures Continue - Tiana's Bayou Adventure Guidance on the website reads: "*Attractions may vary by date, are subject to change or closure, are limited in availability and are not guaranteed, and may not be available at all on the day of visit or at the time of selection or redemption. "Availability can change throughout the day. To learn about any closures or long-term refurbishments, please view details about the attraction on this website or the Disneyland mobile app." The response to the removal of the Lightning Pass Lane at the ride was largely positive online. What People Are Saying @DisneyScoopGuy wrote on X in a post viewed 26,600 times: "'The "Lightning Lane' sign at Pirates of the Caribbean at Disneyland has now been removed from above the clock and just the 'Entrance' sign remains! We finally get to choose between left and right again!" @OffhandDisney wrote on X in a post viewed 52,000 times: "Happy 'No More Lightning Lane at Pirates of the Caribbean' day to all those who celebrate." @realsrhjon wrote on X: "finally this attraction never needed it but so happy." What's Next Whether there will be further changes to Lightning Lane passes for different rides remains to be seen.
