A brand new Lightning Lane service is coming to Walt Disney World and Disneyland real soon! Introducing: Lightning Lane Premier Pass, an all new Lightning Lane option that allows guests to experience each available attraction once per day without having to select a return time. This pass allows guests to just “show up” to each desired attraction at any point during their park day to receive access to the Lightning Lane queue. However, this new option is a premium offering and will not be available to all guests.

Walt Disney World

For Walt Disney World, only guests staying at Disney Deluxe Resort Hotels, Disney Deluxe Villa Resorts, and other select hotels (Swan and Dolphin Hotels and Shades of Green Resort) will be able to purchase Lightning Lane Premier Pass. Eligible guests can purchase Premier Passes up to 7 days before the first day of their Resort stay—for their entire length of stay (up to 14 days)—starting at 7:00 AM Eastern Time. Passes can be purchased through the My Disney Experience App.

Pricing for Premier Pass varies and will range from $129 to $449 per pass (per person) plus tax. Also, each pass can only be used in one theme park per day. There is no park hopper option available. Guests have the ability to purchase Lightning Lane Single Pass and/or Lightning Lane Multi Pass in addition to Premier Pass, so that may be the solution for those who wish to have Lightning Lane passes as they park hop.

Premier Pass will be offered at Walt Disney World beginning October 30, 2024.

Disneyland

At Disneyland, Lightning Lane Premier Pass will be available on a first come, first served basis beginning two days in advance of a theme park reservation. The pass will be valid for use in both theme parks on the same day.

Pricing for Premier Pass at Disneyland will vary by date and demand within a $300 to $400 range. Prices throughout the rest of this year will be $400 per pass (per person) plus tax.

Guests have the option to purchase Lightning Lane Single Pass and/or Lightning Lane Multi Pass in addition to Premier Pass.

Premier Pass will be offered at Disneyland beginning October 23, 2024.

With the rollout of Premier Pass, very limited quantities will be available for both Walt Disney World and Disneyland.
