  • Disney is very strict with return times with Lightning Lane Single Pass. Do not miss your return time to experience this attraction, otherwise you may not be able to ride.
  • Save time by consolidating loose items or giving them to a non-rider ahead of time
  • If you are hesitant about riding, ride the tamer Big Thunder Mountain Railroad or Space Mountain first. If you find those attractions too scary, you are likely better off skipping TRON Lightcycle / Run.
