Season's Greetings, Lisa! Your holiday visit to the Most Magical Place on Earth will be here in just a few days, so let's jump right into your question to help you finalize your plans and Lightning Lane purchases!
Lisa, the new
Lightning Lane Premier Pass allows eligible guests to experience each included attraction one time on the date of their visit, with no reservations for return times required! This provides so much flexibility and offers a unique chance to experience the most popular attractions at any time during the day!
Eligible guests are those staying at a
Disney Resort hotel or other select hotels, including the
Walt Disney World Dolphin Hotel,
Walt Disney World Swan Hotel,
Walt Disney World Swan Reserve, and Shades of Green Resort, and the purchase window opens 7 days before check-in at 7 AM for the entire length of your stay, up to 14 days. With your arrival date of December 9, you are now eligible to purchase your Lightning Lane Premier Pass if you are a guest of any of these resorts!
Lisa, this service is available for purchase and use at
Magic Kingdom Park on days that the park will be closing early for
Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party. In fact, my panelist pal
Amy recently confirmed with a Cast Member that guests who have both standard admission to Magic Kingdom Park and a party ticket to attend the Christmas party can redeem Lightning Lane Premier Pass entries during regular park hours and should also be able to continue using these passes into the party hours. If you are not planning to attend the party, Lightning Lane Premier Pass can still help you experience all the attractions in Magic Kingdom in a shorter day!
Lisa, I hope this is helpful! I used Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Lightning Lane Single Pass for the first time on a trip just last month and enjoyed the added flexibility the products offered in addition to the minimized wait times that helped me enjoy more in a shorter visit!
If you have any other planning questions as you finalize your count down to the magic,
planDisney is always here to help! Come back and see us again real soon!
Happy Holidays,
Alison
