Hello there, Carl!
Welcome to planDisney and thanks for stopping by with an excellent
Walt Disney World Resort vacation planning question. It sounds like you're hoping to maximize the thrill factor during your upcoming vacation, and I'm here to help! Let's chat about how you can experience as much fun as possible in a single day with
Lightning Lane passes.
Carl, beginning on October 30, 2024, Guests with eligible Disney Resort hotel reservations will have the opportunity to purchase
Lightning Lane Premier Pass (subject to availability). During the pilot of this project, this brand-new offering will allow Guests of Deluxe Resort hotels, Deluxe Villa Resorts, and other eligible hotels to experience each Lightning Lane experience in a theme park one time throughout the day with no set return times! This will provide Guests with the ultimate in flexibility and value. I checked in with a friendly Cast Member who informed me that eligible Guests should be able to purchase all three Lightning Lane pass types for the same day! According to this Cast Member, Guests will have the option to purchase all Lightning Lane passes separately for use within the same day.
Since Lightning Lane Premier Pass will only be offered to Guests of select eligible resorts at the time of rollout, be sure that your Deluxe Resort hotel reservation is linked to your profile in
My Disney Experience before October 30, 2024, Carl. During this pilot period, this product is expected to be available in very limited quantities, so I encourage you to get your fast fingers ready on the morning of October 30! Guests can begin purchasing this exclusive product beginning at 7:00 a.m. on that day.
Carl, I hope you've found this information helpful and I wish you a most magical and memorable stay at the Walt Disney World Resort! I'm wishing you a trip filled with thrills. If you have any additional questions before your vacation, you can always revisit us here at

See ya real soon,
