    Hi, I am looking at purchasing a premier LL for MK during one day of our vacation. Two questions, if you walk up to a ride and find the standby line is not long, can you jump on that line and then use your premier LL for that same ride later on that day.

    Hi Theresa!

    Thanks for visiting us at planDisney! Using Lightning Lane Premier Pass is the perfect way to have a laid-back day at the Magic Kingdom!

    When you purchase Lightning Lane Premier Pass, you’ll be able to enter each available Lightning Lane at the park once. And you can decide when you want to do so! You won’t need to make any Lightning Lane reservations throughout the day. 

    If you notice a short standby wait time, you’re more than welcome to enter that queue to enjoy the attraction and save your Lightning Lane for later in the day. That would be a great way to make the most of your time at the park! 

    On your park day, your My Disney Experience app will track which Lightning Lanes you’ve redeemed and which ones you’ll still be able to experience. 

    You’ll be able to purchase Lightning Lane Premier Pass (pending availability) for your park day beginning at 7 AM Eastern, 7 days prior to your check-in day if you’re staying at a Disney World resort or select good neighbor hotel. If you’re staying off property, your Lightning Lane booking window opens beginning at 7 AM Eastern, 3 days prior to the start date of your ticket for date-based tickets. 

    Everyone in your party who’s 3 and older will need Lightning Lane Premier Pass if you’d all like to use that service. If you have anyone in your party under 3 years old, they will not need a Premier Pass. But, they’ll still be able to enter the Lightning Lane with those who have Lightning Lane Premier Pass! I love those “under 3” perks! 

    I hope that helps! And that you have the best time with your family! Let us know if you have any other questions.
