Planning a Disney vacation? A Lightning Lane Multi Pass will save you time, but not money! 🤑
Disney is Launching a new Lightning Lane Premier Pass, but it won’t be available to everyone right away AND it’s going to cost you an eye-watering amount of money (in addition to Disney’s perpetually-increasing ticket prices!). 😓
The new Lightning Lane Premier Pass will allow select Walt Disney World and Disneyland guests to enter Lightning Lane attractions without booking them in advance so you can simply show up and skip the line at some of the most popular attractions.
This pass will be valid at all the attractions currently participating in the Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Single Pass programs and you can use it to skip the line at Lightning Lane attractions once per day.
Disney World’s Lightning Lane Premier Pass will launch with limited availability on October 30th. Only guests staying at Disney Deluxe Resorts, Disney Deluxe Villa Resorts and other select hotels will be able to try the new program at that time.
Lightning Lane Premier Passes can be purchased up to seven days in advance of your stay (except for the launch date, which can only be purchased on the same day). Once the program gets up and running, guests will be able to see the exact price of a Lightning Lane Premier Pass 21 days in advance in the My Disney Experience app.
Disney World’s Lightning Lane Premier Pass will be park-specific, with pricing dependent on the park and date as follows:
- Magic Kingdom: $329 – $449
- EPCOT: $169 – $249
- Disney’s Animal Kingdom: $129 – $199
- Disney’s Hollywood Studios: $269 – $349
Prices shown are per person, per park, per day, plus tax, friends. 🤯
Disney PhotoPass downloads are included (as they have been with the Lightning Lane Multi Pass). At this time, there is no Park Hopper version of the Lightning Lane Premier Pass at Walt Disney World.
Moving on to the West Coast, Disneyland’s Lightning Lane Premier Pass will launch on October 23rd. Guests will be able to purchase the pass up to two days in advance (except for the launch date, which can only be purchased on the same day).
Unlike Disney World, Disneyland’s pass will be available to all guests on a first-come, first-served basis. However, availability will be very limited.
Disneyland’s pass is not park-specific and will include same-day Lightning Lane access to both Disneyland and Disney California Adventure.
Beginning in 2025, Disneyland’s Lightning Lane Premier Pass will cost between $300 to $400 per person (ages 3+) per day, depending on the date. But because it’s launching during peak season, Disneyland’s Lightning Lane Premier Pass will cost $400 per person, per day through the end of 2024.
We can’t wait to hear what you think about Disney’s new Lighting Lane Premier Passes! Will you be shelling out big bucks to skip the line without having to plan ahead? 😬 Please let us know in the comments below! 👇
