Already booked? Lightning Lane Fast Forward watches your return time and moves it earlier as slots open — within limits you set, and you keep your current time until the earlier one is confirmed. It books new ones too, in the time slots you pick. Earlier times. More rides. Zero refreshing.

Return windows for headliners drift later through the day — Fast Forward pulls yours back when earlier slots open.

Fast Forward saves an average of 3 hours per Lightning Lane.
