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.

$449 on top of general admission (100 bucks) spend 10 hours in the park so you are spending $54/hour to ride a a 5 minute ride. I can't see it but to each is own

If your marriage is riding on a premier pass, you have big issues.

That's a patient drug dealer. We had free Fast pass for over 20 years. I guess Disney plays the long game.

LLPP is a beautiful thing for Bob, Josh and Hugh for sure 🤣 I realize now when the free Fastpass first came out it was like the drug dealer giving you the drugs for free at first then when you come back for more, it’s like Tim Tracker says, “Now it’s time to pay the price”

Yes, that was an odd one. As someone who mostly does split stays with AKL and one other deluxe each visit without any issues I was surprised to learn from the forum that I can't actually afford it.

I don't either, it just is not even remotely surprising to me that others might have a different view. We live in a world where people purposely choose to consume fruitcake so no matter what I might think of something, there is always a group out there that will like it and more power to them. In this case it isn't even much of a stretch to see how useful the service could be to someone.

They think no one posting here can afford to stay at the Poly, so...yes. 😂

I just don’t think it’s a beautiful thing

You are just now learning that other people can value things differently than you?

Today I learned having people pay $400 bucks plus to skip a few rides is a “beautiful thing”

An excellent argument counselor. We all must remember TWDC, especially its theme park business (their movie business, not so much) exists to MAKE MONEY! To be honest their newest “product” LLPP is a beautiful thing, as close as you can come to 100 percent profit, “money for nothing” product that many folks who purchase this product will see an actual value in. LLPP is really is a beautiful thing; supply and demand of this product can be controlled with a few keystrokes of a keyboard.
