The new Lightning Lane Premier Pass is now available to purchase for guests of any Walt Disney World Resort Hotel. Previously, it was limited to select Deluxe resort hotels.
Lightning Lane Premier Pass Expands Availability
Read the announcement below.
Beginning Friday, Nov. 22, 2024, Walt Disney World will expand the Lightning Lane Premier Pass pilot to all Disney Resort hotels. Guests staying at Disney Deluxe and Deluxe Villa, Moderate, Value Resorts and other select hotels will be eligible to purchase up to seven days before the first day of their Resort stay – for their entire length of stay (up to 14 days).
This is the only update to Lightning Lane Premier Pass at this time, and the pass continues to be offered in very limited quantities.
At this time, guests who are not staying at a Walt Disney World hotel cannot purchase the pass.
The Premier Pass offers one-time entry to every Lightning Lane attraction. The price ranges per park are:
- Disney’s Animal Kingdom: $119-$199 plus tax
- EPCOT: $149-$249 plus tax
- Disney’s Hollywood Studios: $249-$349 plus tax
- Magic Kingdom: $329-$449 plus tax
We tried the new skip-the-line service when it first launched for select resort guests earlier this month. Shortly afterward, Disney released new lower prices for three of the four Walt Disney World theme parks.
Earlier this week, Lightning Lane Premier Pass sold out for the first time at Magic Kingdom and Disney’s Hollywood Studios. The service has also sold out for Thanksgiving Day at Magic Kingdom.
