Exciting announcement just came out from Disney Parks about a brand new option for reducing your wait times. It wasn't long ago that the lightning lane system was overhauled, and now we're brought this brand new tier of service, a premium offering with limited quantities available that allow guests to visit each attraction via the lightning lane without having to book and return within a specific time window. This streamlined experience sounds very similar to the system Universal uses called Express Pass.
Here is the verbiage from Disney:
"In the coming weeks, Disneyland Resort and Walt Disney World Resort will begin piloting a new service providing expedited entry to theme park attractions: Lightning Lane Premier Pass.
Lightning Lane Premier Pass will be offered in very limited quantities and will give guests one-time entry to each available Lightning Lane entrance in the theme park they are visiting that day. This includes attractions included in both Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Single Pass, but with Lightning Lane Premier Pass, guests do not need to select an experience time. Lightning Lane Premier Pass will be a premium offering, and prices will vary based on the date and theme park guests are visiting.
At Disneyland Resort, the Lightning Lane Premier Pass will be available first come, first served beginning two days in advance of a theme park reservation and will be valid for use in both theme parks. The first date it will be available is October 23, 2024.
At Walt Disney World, when Lightning Lane Premier Pass launches, it will be available to guests staying at Disney Deluxe or Deluxe Villa Resorts and may be purchased up to seven days in advance of their stay. It will only be valid for use in one park of the guest’s choice per day. The first date it will be available is October 30, 2024."
What do you think of this new offering? Personally I love having options, and the ability to move more fluidly through the parks feels like a game changer!
