Why the Premier Pass Is in Demand

The Lightning Lane Premier Pass offers one-time access to every available Lightning Lane attraction in a single park for a day, with no need to book arrival windows for individual rides. It's a flexible option that's particularly appealing during peak crowd periods like Thanksgiving week.

Magic Kingdom and Hollywood Studios are especially popular choices for the Premier Pass, with high-demand attractions such as TRON Lightcycle / Run, Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, and Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance likely contributing to the sell-outs.

Planning Ahead for Future Visits

If you're planning a trip to Disney World during the upcoming holiday season, consider the following tips to secure a Lightning Lane Premier Pass:

Purchase Early: Eligible guests can buy the Premier Pass up to seven days before their resort stay begins. Availability is limited, so act quickly.
Check Availability Frequently: Keep an eye on the My Disney Experience app for real-time updates on remaining availability for your travel dates.
Explore Other Options: If the Premier Pass isn't available, consider using the Lightning Lane Multi Pass or Lightning Lane Single pass, which may still have openings.

Looking Ahead to December Holidays

As Thanksgiving week shows, demand for the Lightning Lane Premier Pass peaks during major holidays. With Christmas and New Year's approaching, similar sell-outs are likely. Guests visiting during these times should plan ahead to secure access to this new service.

https://forums.wdwmagic.com/threads/lightning-lane-drop-times.984387/ I haven't updated it in months so I don't know if it is still accurate. Not going to lie, I did the work for it for my trip last November and figured I would share it with the forums (I also put it on Reddit), but I don't plan on updating it regularly. It's not to hard to do though if anyone wants to try to to update it. Using thrill data, it's pretty easy to spot trends. This is TSM for example. Anytime there is a consistent jump to Yellow or Green on most of the days, that's a drop time.

Touring Plans “liners” keep an updated list. And for a while here I think @Purduevian had one running.

there's thrill ride Data. Some rides have a long list of potential drop times, but only some of them happen. TRD appears to have updated their list since just a few weeks ago. Previously, they had some of the drop times highlighted, which I took to mean the more likely drop times.

This is not how you do statistics.

Do we have an updated list and inventory drops?

Splash4eva11 days ago

Disney has their reasons and whatever they are we will never know. We can guess but most likely never know but imo no wait line posted 60 minutes should never be off more than 10. No wait time of 45 should be off more than 5. Anything 30 and below should be accurate. So on and so forth with longer yet every person i talk with who goes all say same with more inflated wait times. Even if its to make the guest “feel good” its still a “deceptive” practice. And honestly. If you are a multi billion dollar corporation with a name like Disney (at least what it use to mean) and you need to inflate wait times to increase guest satisfaction you better re think your strategy Robert…

A number of forum members thought reforming/reducing DAS would fix the problem. I also think how much times are off can be characterized in different ways. If the posted wait is 10minutes, and actually is 5, ten we could characterize the posted wait as only off by 5minutes, or we could say the posted wait was half the actual wait. Both would be correct. There is also the challenge of how to characterize some of the pre-shows like GoG and Rise. How often are any of us here willing to test the wait for accuracy when it is over 60minutes? I think most of us here know basic park touring strategy, so we don't get in line for 7D when standby waits are at their daily peaks.

I don’t know how it works. But I know people who do pick up LLs as a result of drops - unless of course it’s pure coincidence that they are ready to do so at specific known times and get lucky.
