Hi Robert,
Welcome back to planDisney! It sounds like you’re planning a visit to Walt Disney World very soon. Lightning Lane passes are my favorite way to save time when I visit, so I’m happy to help you with this great question.
Lightning Lane passes allow guests to skip the traditional standby queue and join a shorter line for select attractions and experiences. While there are three different types of passes,
Lightning Lane Premier Pass provides one-time entry to each available Lightning Lane experience in one park for one day. The best part about this version is that you’ll ride what you want when you want in one park without needing to schedule return times. You're going to love the flexibility Lightning Lane Premier Pass offers. Pricing varies by theme park and date, so check the
My Disney Experience app for pricing. Tap the hamburger menu icon (☰), then Lightning Lane Passes.
Guests staying at any hotel within the
Disney Resorts Collection can purchase any type of Lightning Lane passes as early as 7 days prior to their arrival in the My Disney Experience app. All other guests can purchase Lightning Lane passes in the app as early as 3 days prior to their first park day. If you’re planning for a spontaneous visit, just keep in mind that Lightning Lane Premier Pass does occasionally sell out. Be sure to give yourself the gift of time and book as soon as you know you’re going.
Bonus tip: be sure to check out all the fun offerings happening during
Cool Kids' Summer. There are so many things happening this summer - it’s a really great time to visit. Be sure to also visit the
Special Offers page before you book to be sure you’re taking advantage of any current applicable deals.
I hope this information is helpful, Robert. If you need any additional help with planning please come back and see us here at planDisney again. We’ll see ya real soon!
