Welcome to planDisney, Robin!
I can think of no better place to celebrate the most wonderful time of the year than The Most Magical Place on Earth. From seasonal treats and characters in costume to theme parks adorned in colorful lights, garland, tinsel, and larger-than-life trees, Walt Disney World Resort is magically transformed into a (central Florida) winter wonderland. It looks like you'll be in the middle of this holiday magic tomorrow, so let's get down to the details of
Lightning Lane Premier Pass.
Since the holiday season is such a popular time to visit Walt Disney World Resort,
Lightning Lane passes are a great way to maximize your time by minimizing waits. The newest addition to the Lightning Lane family, Lightning Lane Premier Pass, enables Guests to bypass the standby queues of select attractions at their leisure in the theme park for which they purchased the pass. Happily, in EPCOT this does indeed include the popular
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind. To redeem your Lightning Lane Premier Pass experience, you will simply need to scan your MagicBand, MagicBand+,
Disney MagicMobile pass, Key to the World Card, or ticket card at Cosmic Rewind's designated Lightning Lane entrance. This entrance will lead you to a queue for the preshow room that is much shorter and more direct than the one available to virtual queue riders. While Lightning Lanes do significantly shorten the waits you will experience in line, it does not eliminate them completely, especially for popular attractions or those whose queues incorporate preshows.
Since your vacation begins so soon, I wanted to remind you that Lightning Lane Premier Pass is exclusively
available for purchase by Guests of Disney Resort hotels (and a few select others) beginning 7 days before check-in and that availability is limited, so if you haven't yet made you purchase, you'll want to look into it as soon as possible.
I hope this was helpful, Robin, and that your upcoming vacation is filled with magical moments. If you're in need of additional assistance as you finalize your plans, feel free to
stop back by. I'm always happy to help!
Thinking Happy Thoughts,
Lizzie
