Animal Kingdom Lightning Lane Multi Pass Strategy: Booking Order Guide

Following my EPCOT post, here’s my Lightning Lane Multi Pass strategy for Animal Kingdom. Honestly, Animal Kingdom has no tiers, so you don’t need a complicated strategy. Picking the 3 most popular attractions for your initial bookings is enough! So I used average data from the last 7 days to put together the Animal Kingdom Multi Pass sell-out ranking. (Data source: thrill-data.com)

📌 Animal Kingdom Multi Pass sell-out ranking (last 7-day average)

1. Na’vi River Journey
2. Zootopia: Better Zoogether!
3. Kilimanjaro Safaris
4. Festival of the Lion King
5. Finding Nemo: The Big Blue… and Beyond!
6. Expedition Everest – Legend of the Forbidden Mountain
7. Feathered Friends in Flight!
8. DINOSAUR
9. Kali River Rapids

Na’vi River Journey in Pandora – The World of Avatar, Animal Kingdom’s signature draw, is the undisputed No. 1, and the newly opened Zootopia is No. 2. The other attractions don’t differ much in how fast they sell out. So the most efficient move is to use your first 3 Multi Pass bookings on the top attractions.

✔ Recommended first 3 bookings

• Zootopia: Better Zoogether!
• Na’vi River Journey
• Kilimanjaro Safaris

After that, book whatever fits your schedule and route.

🧭 A suggested route if you’d rather have an order to follow

1. Festival of the Lion King
2. Feathered Friends in Flight!
3. Kali River Rapids
4. Expedition Everest – Legend of the Forbidden Mountain
5. Finding Nemo: The Big Blue… and Beyond!
6. DINOSAUR

✨ Can you do it without Multi Pass?

Honestly, at Animal Kingdom, if you:

• ride Zootopia first during Early Entry, and
• go for Pandora (Avatar) around closing time,

you can enjoy the park perfectly well without Multi Pass.

But if you want to ride Avatar twice, or want to enjoy the park comfortably at a relaxed pace, Multi Pass is a good choice.
