Hello Terri!
Welcome to planDisney! The Lightning Lane Premier Pass is slowly rolling out to Guests as an option for Guests to enjoy shorter wait times with the Lightning Lane entrance without worrying about booking times.
Recently, Lightning Lane Premier Pass has
expanded Eligible Resort Hotels from beyond just the Disney Deluxe Resorts to include all
Disney Resort Hotels, Walt Disney World Dolphin Hotel, Walt Disney World Swan Hotel, Walt Disney World Swan Reserve, and Shades of Green Resort. Unfortunately,
Waldorf Astoria Orlando is not included in these lists at this time even though it is considered an Official Walt Disney World Hotel. I did reach out to a Cast Member and confirmed that I was correct.
I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news but I suggest you keep checking. This expansion of Eligible Resorts was very recent and a bit of a surprise. I hope that by the time you arrive, it may include your hotel! In the meantime, you can still purchase
Lightning Lane Multi and Single Pass three days before you arrive. It does require some work as you focus on the My Disney Experience Mobile App to select your Lightning Lane return times but it is helpful. I have used it successfully to ride almost every ride offered in one day!
I hope that this helps and you have a fabulous time!
Happy Planning!
