The Lightning Lane Premier Pass is here and it offers guests a one-time entry to each Lightning Lane attraction at the theme park they visit, which can be used at any point during the day without needing to reserve a specific time in advance.

Some of the benefits of the Lightning Lane Premier Pass include:

• Access to all attractions available with the Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Single Pass.
• Flexibility to ride desired attractions whenever guests choose.
• Complimentary PhotoPass photo and video downloads.
• Walt Disney World will begin a pilot program for the Lightning Lane Premier Pass on October 30, 2024.

Upon launch, the pass will only be available to guests staying at Deluxe Resorts or Deluxe Villa Resorts (Disney Vacation Club Resorts). Guests can purchase the pass up to seven days prior to their stay.

The Lightning Lane Premier Pass allows one-time access to each available Lightning Lane entrance in a single park per day, without a Park Hopper option. Prices vary depending on the date and park, ranging from $129 to $449 per person, plus tax, with the highest prices set during peak travel periods. Here’s a breakdown of the price ranges per park:

• Disney’s Animal Kingdom: $129 to $199 per person, plus tax
• EPCOT: $169 to $249 per person, plus tax
• Disney’s Hollywood Studios: $269 to $349 per person, plus tax
• Magic Kingdom: $329 to $449 per person, plus tax

The pricing reflects a wide range—$129 at Animal Kingdom on the low end compared to $449 at Magic Kingdom during peak times. For example, the highest price at Magic Kingdom is more than three times the lowest price at Animal Kingdom.

Disneyland’s Lightning Lane Premiere Pass will be $400 per day and include both parks.
