Hey There, Hi There, Ho There, Michael!
I'm absolutely delighted to welcome you to planDisney! It's always such a joy to connect with fellow Disney enthusiasts, and I'm so glad you stopped by. Thank you for bringing this fantastic question our way. We love helping Guests like you make the most of every magical moment of your Walt Disney World vacation. Let's dive in and get you the information you need.
Lightning Lane Premier Pass is a fantastic tool for maximizing your time in the parks, giving you the flexibility to experience select attractions at times that best suit your plans. It's designed to help you spend less time waiting in line and more time enjoying the magic. That said, it's important to keep in mind that this pass is only valid during standard theme park operating hours. On days when
Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party and
Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party are scheduled, the parks close early to daytime Guests at 6:00 PM.
After the party officially begins at 7:00 PM, Premier Pass is no longer available. But here's the good news...since attendance is limited for these
special ticketed events, attraction wait times are often much shorter than during regular park hours.
To truly make the most of your day and evening at the party, I recommend using your Lightning Lane Premier Pass during regular park hours to experience as many of your must-do attractions as possible. It's a great way to knock out popular rides with minimal wait before the special event begins. Then, once the party officially starts, shift your focus to all the unique and limited-time offerings that make these seasonal events so magical. From exclusive stage shows, character meet-and-greets, festive parades, and specialty treats, there's so much to enjoy that's only available during the party!
I hope this information is helpful, Michael! If you have any other questions along the way, you're always welcome as can be at planDisney!
Magic Awaits,
Kami
