Is Star Tours – The Adventures Continue (Disneyland) Lightning Lane worth it?
The short answer
Is Star Tours – The Adventures Continue (Disneyland) Lightning Lane worth it? Worth it on busy days. At Disneyland Park, Star Tours – The Adventures Continue (Disneyland) sold through Lightning Lane Multi Pass — standard slot, with a typical peak standby wait of 30–60 min at peak. Star Tours runs several simulator cabins at once and loads in large batches, so it absorbs crowds far better than anything else in Disneyland's Tomorrowland — the line looks alarming and moves quickly. What makes it worth a second thought is the randomised ride film: repeat rides genuinely differ, which keeps demand steady all day rather than front-loaded. Ride standby before about 11am or after dinner and you will rarely wait more than half an hour. Book a Multi Pass return only on a holiday-level crowd day, or if motion sensitivity means you want one guaranteed attempt rather than a gamble on a long line. The 40-inch bar rules out younger kids, so check heights before the whole group commits.
