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.

Not being able to correct people is why I am considered by many to be an a-hole

This is true. I’m in a Facebook group for a children’s clothing boutique that does a lot of character prints. Someone posted recently asking for Harry Potter prints for their trip to Disney. When someone replied saying Harry Potter is Universal, not Disney, the OP responded saying they are going to several parks- Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, Universal- so it’s easier to just say Disney instead of listing them all 😂 I always think 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ but never say anything 😂

She had no idea where she was actually visiting. She thought they were one and the same.

Some people use Disney to refer to all theme parks in the Orlando area. Did she have a good time. Where did she stay? You don't need as much planning with Universal, compared with Disney. Guests staying at one of the 3 original hotels don't have to do any advance planning

Did she think she’d visited Disney too, or had she simply confused the two?

Update on niece's trip - she spent the entire "Disney" vacation at Universal. 😂🤪

After spending Thanksgiving with my brothers family, who just got back from WDW, we’ve been convinced to buy MultiPass for our upcoming trip. He said he hated how expensive it was but they found it better than FP+ so at least they saw some benefit for the price. He said they managed just fine with MP so they see no need for Premiere pass, which is now completely off our radar.

I’ve seen people going over or under railings, unhooking chains, etc. to avoid walking a few extra steps.

Interesting. I've never complained about breezing thru empty queue segments. In fact, it left me with the impression the line was short.

Guests complain if they waste time snaking through empty queue segments. Sometimes Disney can't win.

Very true, before paid LL, I think they inflated times to make folks feel good they waited less than the posted wait time, they still do it today for the same reason with the happy side effect of possibly selling some LLs ;)
