Quick Facts
How to Stack Star Tours
Star Tours is a Tier B attraction, so you can hold it alongside other Tier B selections without using your single Tier A slot. Because wait times rarely exceed 40 minutes and often dip below 20 in the afternoon, this is an excellent LLMP to grab later in the day after you have locked in higher-demand rides. Stack it as a mid-day bridge between your morning Tier A ride and an evening re-book. If you see availability while holding two other Tier B passes, consider tapping into one of those first so you can instantly rebook Star Tours before it disappears.
Sample Stacking Sequence
- 1At 7:00 AM, book Slinky Dog Dash (Tier A) as your first LLMP selection.
- 2Immediately book Tower of Terror (Tier B) as your second selection.
- 3Book Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run (Tier B) as your third selection.
- 4Tap into Slinky Dog Dash, then instantly rebook Mickey & Minnie's Runaway Railway (Tier A) for later.
- 5Tap into Tower of Terror, then instantly rebook Star Tours (Tier B) for mid-afternoon.
- 6Tap into Millennium Falcon, then rebook Toy Story Mania! (Tier B) for the afternoon.
- 7Tap into Star Tours, then rebook Rock 'n' Roller Coaster (Tier B) if available before its March 2026 closure.
- 8Continue tapping and rebooking through Mickey & Minnie's and remaining selections for the evening.
Pro Tips
- โStar Tours has over 100 scene combinations, so using LLMP multiple times in a day lets you experience different storylines without long waits each time.
- โWait times typically drop below 20 minutes after 4:00 PM, making it a smart late-day LLMP rebook target when higher-demand rides are sold out.
- โThe single-rider line is not available here, so LLMP is your best option to skip the standby queue during peak midday hours.
- โSit in the back row for the most intense motion effects, or request the front row for a smoother experience if you have motion sensitivity.
- โStar Tours availability tends to last longer than other Tier B rides, so prioritize booking Tower of Terror or Millennium Falcon first and save Star Tours for a rebook.
