Lightning Lane Premier Pass Coming Soon!

What is the Lightning Lane Premier Pass?

Lightning Lane Premier Pass will be offered in very limited quantities and will give guests one-time entry to each available Lightning Lane entrance in the theme park they are visiting that day.

This includes attractions included in both Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Single Pass, but with Lightning Lane Premier Pass, guests do not need to select an experience time.

Lightning Lane Premier Pass will be a premium offering, and prices will vary based on the date and theme park guests are visiting. Sound expensive? It is. More on that in a minute.

When Will Lightning Lane Premier Pass Be Offered?

At Disneyland Resort, the Lightning Lane Premier Pass will be available first come, first served beginning two days in advance of a theme park reservation and will be valid for use in both theme parks.

The first date it will be available is October 23, 2024.

At Walt Disney World, when Lightning Lane Premier Pass launches, it will be available to guests staying at Disney Deluxe or Deluxe Villa Resorts only and may be purchased up to seven days in advance of their stay.

It will only be valid for use in one park of the guest’s choice per day. The first date it will be available is October 30, 2024.

How Much Will Lightning Lane Premier Pass Cost?

This is going to be a big price jump for the average parkgoer.

Disney World (one park) ranges $129-$429+tax per person.

Disneyland (both parks) ranges $300-$400 per person.

That feels like… well, a lot.

Depending on your party size, this might be an alternative to choosing a VIP plaid tour guide for upgrading your theme park experience.

Will the Current Lightning Lane and Multipass Options Remain?

Yes, for now anyway.

This new Lightning Lane Premier Pass is limited and will be only offered to select guests.

Should it prove popular, I could see this as becoming the standard option at Walt Disney World where I feel more people will be willing to pay the premium price point.
