Hiya Mehwish,
Thanks so much for stopping by planDisney with your Lightning Lane Premier Pass question! What a wonderful time to trade in the Garden State Parkway for a stroll right down the middle of Main Street, in Magic Kingdom Park. The holidays truly add an extra layer of pixie dust—twinkling lights, beautifully themed resort lobbies, and parks dressed in their festive best. And with a Premier Lightning Lane Pass in hand, you’ll feel just like Royalty skipping right past those standby lines and saving time!
Now, let’s jump right into your question. Guests staying at
Disney Resorts (and select others) can purchase
Lightning Lane passes up to 7 days before their stay, while all other Guests can purchase them 3 days before their park visit. All purchases are made through the
My Disney Experience app, so be sure to have the latest version downloaded. You’ll be able to make your purchase beginning at 7:00 AM Eastern Time. And before you tap “buy,” double-check that you have valid theme park admission linked—plus park reservations if your ticket type requires them.
While you’re visiting, don’t miss EPCOT
International Festival of the Holidays! The storytellers around World Showcase are absolute treasures, and the Holiday Cookie Stroll is a sweet adventure. Collect stamps as you taste your way around the world, and once your passport is complete—ta-da!—there’s a special holiday treat waiting just for you.
Mehwish, I hope this helps sprinkle a little clarity (and pixie dust!) on your plans. Wishing you the most magical holiday visit. If any more questions pop up like a genie from a lamp, we’re always here to help.
See you real soon,
Christina
