Walt Disney World Makes Lightning Lane Premier Pass Available to All Guests
Previously only those staying at select locations had the opportunity to purchase
Walt Disney World is ready to offer the Lightning Lane Premier Pass to all guests (not just those staying at on-site resorts), starting on January 21st.
What’s Happening:
- Starting today, January 21st, Walt Disney World will expand the Lightning Lane Premier Pass pilot, making it available to all guests.
- Lightning Lane Premier Pass gives you one-time entry to each available Lightning Lane entrance in one park for one day.
- Previously, the Lightning Lane Premier Pass was only available to those staying at Walt Disney World Resort hotels, the Walt Disney World Swan, Dolphin, or Swan Reserve, or the Shades of Green Resort.
- With the change, the booking window will be consistent with Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Single Pass, allowing Guests to purchase this option in advance of their visit. Guests can purchase Lightning Lane Premier Passes for days they have valid theme park admission starting at 7:00 AM Eastern Time on their first day of eligibility.
- Guests staying at a Disney Resort hotel or other select hotels can purchase Lightning Lane Premier Passes starting 7 days before the first day of their Resort stay, for their length of stay (up to 14 days).
- This early-planning benefit is available to registered guests staying at:
- Disney Resort hotels
- Walt Disney World Dolphin Hotel
- Walt Disney World Swan Hotel
- Walt Disney World Swan Reserve
- Shades of Green Resort
- Guests not staying in a Disney Resort hotel can purchase Lightning Lane Premier Passes 3 days in advance.
- Guests with date-based theme park tickets (which require the Guest to choose a start date at the time of purchase) can purchase 3 days before the first day of their ticket, for the total number of valid admission days on their ticket.
- Guests with other ticket types can purchase 3 days before their park visit.
- Annual Passholders can purchase 3 days before their park visit.
- Opening the Premier Pass to all guests is currently the only change happening, and the pass continues to be offered in very limited quantities.
