With limited availability and unique features, this premium pass promises to elevate the way guests experience the magic of Disney. Here’s what you need to know about this upcoming launch.
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.
Disneyland Lighting Lane Premier Pass
At Disneyland Resort, the Lightning Lane Premier Pass will be available on a first-come, first-served basis starting two days before a park reservation, and can be used in both parks. The initial availability date is October 23, 2024.
Disney World Lighting Lane Premier Pass
At Walt Disney World, when the Lightning Lane Premier Pass launches, it will be accessible to guests staying at Disney Deluxe or Deluxe Villa Resorts, allowing purchases up to seven days before their stay. It will be valid for one park of the guest’s choice each day. The first availability date is October 30, 2024.
