Avast There: Pirates of the Caribbean at Disneyland Set to Drop Lightning Lane Entrance

There are still plenty of attractions that Lightning Lane Multi Pass will be good for.

The Disneyland Resort will soon revert Pirates of the Caribbean to a standby queue only, discontinuing its operation as a Lightning Lane attraction.

What’s Happening:

The Disneyland Resort has announced that Pirates of the Caribbean will soon begin operating with a standby line only, marking the end of its status as a Lightning Lane attraction.
Initially, the ride was included in Disney Genie+, which was later rebranded as the Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Single Pass.
This arrangement was only temporary, beginning in January 2024, while nearby attractions underwent refurbishment.
In April 2025, the ride was temporarily removed from the Lightning Lane Multi Pass, leading to speculation about its potential removal from the offering entirely.
According to the Disneyland website, the last day for Pirates of the Caribbean as a Lightning Lane Multi Pass selection will be June 30th, 2025, with regular operations set to resume on July 1st.

History of Pirates of the Caribbean at Disneyland:

Initially envisioned by Walt Disney in the 1950s as a wax museum walk-through, the idea transformed into a boat ride following the success of "it's a small world" at the 1964 New York World's Fair, incorporating Audio-Animatronics technology.
The attraction debuted on March 18th, 1967, in Disneyland's New Orleans Square, shortly after Walt Disney's death. It quickly gained popularity, celebrated for its engaging scenes, innovative special effects, and iconic characters.
