    What hotels stays are able to purchase premier lightning lanes?

    Hi Jeanine, and welcome to planDisney.

    As the song goes, the Circle of Life moves us all, and it seems it has brought you to planDisney with an exciting question. It looks like you are planning a Lion King-sized day with the Lightning Lane Premier Pass, and I am excited to help you with this question!

    Jeanine, I am happy to report that the Lightning Lane Premier Pass is now open for anyone to purchase. If you are staying at a Disney Resort hotel or select hotel, you will be eligible to purchase a Premier Pass seven days before your arrival date. If you are staying off-site, you can make your purchase three days before your theme park visit. These passes will be available on your My Disney Experience app at 7 AM. 

    Last month, I had the opportunity to use a Lightning Lane Premier Pass, and it was an incredibly fantastic day! I was able to enter the Lightning Lane lines for rides on my own schedule without needing to pre-arrange times. Here's a quick tip for using your Premier Pass: I discovered that I could see and track which rides I had used my pass for in the app, and I found this feature incredibly helpful. Being able to keep track of my rides ensured that I didn't miss anything and that I was getting the best value for my purchase.

    I see that you and I will arrive for our spring vacation on the same day. It's a small world--(pun intended). I hope before you come, you'll have time to check out all the features on your My Disney Experience app that will continue to save you time. Mobile Food & Beverage Ordering is my very favorite time-saving feature! I hope you'll be able to use that on your vacation.

    Jeanine, I'm so happy you stopped by with your question, and I hope you have the BEST DAY EVER using your Lightning Lane Premier Pass. Please stop by and visit us anytime and follow us on Instagram. We hope to see you again!

    Enjoy the magic!
