Starting today, October 30, 2024, Disney's new Lightning Lane Premier Pass is available for purchase, offering an option for guests staying at Disney Deluxe Resorts, Disney Deluxe Villa Resorts, and other select hotels. This pass provides a way to access multiple attractions within a single park, allowing visitors to skip standby lines and enjoy shorter waits at popular rides and experiences.

Lightning Lane Premier Pass provides access to every Lighting Lane attraction in the chosen park without selecting an arrival time

Overview of the Lightning Lane Premier Pass

The Lightning Lane Premier Pass offers unique flexibility compared to existing options like the Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Lightning Lane Single Pass. Unlike other passes, Premier Pass holders do not need to select specific arrival times for each attraction. Instead, guests can access each available Lightning Lane experience in their chosen park whenever they wish, making it a more open-ended option for navigating the day.

The pass is also all-inclusive for each park's available Lightning Lane attractions, allowing one-time access to every Lightning Lane experience in a single park on the selected day. Additionally, the pass includes access to Disney PhotoPass digital downloads for select attraction photos and videos, similar to the perks included with the Multi Pass.

Eligibility and How to Purchase

This pass is exclusively available to guests staying at eligible resorts, including Disney Deluxe Resort Hotels, Disney Deluxe Villa Resorts, and select hotels like the Walt Disney World Dolphin, Swan, and Shades of Green. Eligible guests can purchase the pass for their entire stay, up to 14 days, by logging into the My Disney Experience app and following the prompts under the "Lightning Lane Premier Pass" option on the app's home screen.

Pricing and Availability

Prices for the Lightning Lane Premier Pass vary by date and park, with specific pricing details updated daily within the My Disney Experience app. View 21 days of advance Lightning Lane Premier Pass pricing.

Today's pricing (October 30, 2024) is:

Magic Kingdom: $329
EPCOT: $169
Disney's Hollywood Studios: $269
Disney's Animal Kingdom: $129

Quantities are limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis.

Guests planning to purchase should ensure they have valid theme park admission and, in some cases, a park reservation for the day they plan to use the pass.

Using the Premier Pass

Once the pass is purchased, guests can visit any Lightning Lane attraction in their selected park, using their linked MagicBand, Disney MagicMobile pass, or other admission method to tap into the attraction. The My Disney Experience app helps keep track of which attractions have been used and which remain available for the day.

With it only available for guests at Deluxe resorts, there are only two possible demographics that can buy it: 1) High income/wealthy people that can afford it without giving it much thought. 2) "YOLO" people who are already going into debt to pay for rooms they can't afford and will just go into more debt for a LLPP they can't afford. A family that has been saving up to be able to afford a deluxe resort probably isn't going to decide to go over budget and into debt for LLPP.

I haven't read the previous pages so forgive me if this was mentioned but this 100% seems like the first stage of eliminating LLMP (and maybe LLSP)......... It will need to be tweaked (pricing, including all parks, including different hotel tiers, etc) but to me this is the beginning of the end of Multi Pass...........Disney will only need 10%-25% of the sales of the combined LLMP/LLSP to eliminate those options completely and keep the same revenue as they currently have......... I could 100% see Premier Pass and Stand by as the only options........

This really adds up… I’m hopeful only a small amount of people will go for it. That being said, I know quite a few people that put themselves into debt for a Disney vacation. It would be interesting to see what income demographic actually buys it. I have a bit of selection bias though.

Sorry, I think you are misinformed. I'm not sure how to navigate to it without searching, but if I search for Lightning Lane Premier pass, I can see the prices through November 19th. I don't have a deluxe reservation.

I truly fear the reverberations of this among all other theme parks. The fact this is almost triple the cost of a fast pass at Cedar Fairs and Universal (depending on the times, even people not going to Disney could see REAL effects from this.

So current (max) capacity of riverboat is 900 pph + The rafts can carry ~500pph (again probably never full) Flat/spinner rides usually have ~600pph Test Track (closest thing to the new big cars attraction) = ~1100pph So next increase of ~300pph assuming the rafts and boat are running at max capacity. Anyways we are way off topic. Does anyone have boots on the ground using LLPP? Doesn't have to be from the forum, but I have to assume there is a blogger or something live tweeting.

You’ve posted previously that you haven’t been to the park in over 4 years and have no intention of going back. So who cares what you think about tickets for something that you have already said you’re not going to? What’s the point? It’s like me complaining about the price of a house in LA. I don’t live in LA, I wasn’t planing on going to LA, and they are marketing the house to people who aren like me, living on east coast and not looking to move. So what’s you point?
