Lightning Lane Premier Pass

In the upcoming weeks, Disneyland Resort and Walt Disney World Resort will start testing a new service that offers expedited access to theme park attractions: the Lightning Lane Premier Pass.

This pass will be available in very limited quantities, granting guests a one-time entry to each Lightning Lane entrance in the park they are visiting that day. It encompasses attractions included in both the Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Single Pass, but with the Premier Pass, guests won’t need to choose a specific experience time. This will be a premium offering, with prices varying based on the date and park.

Lightning Lane Premier Passes come with Disney PhotoPass Lenses and Disney PhotoPass digital downloads of any attraction photos taken during the guest’s visit. Buying a Lightning Lane Premier Pass does not restrict guests from also purchasing a Lightning Lane Multi Pass or Lightning Lane Single Passes.
