Hey-Howdy-Hey, Deb! Thanks so much for stopping by planDisney. I'm so glad you decided to visit again with another excellent vacation planning question. You've got a friend in me, and I'll be happy to help with some "premier" planning tips for your 2025
Walt Disney World Resort vacation.
The announcement of the new
Lightning Lane Premier Pass was certainly big Disney news! This newest addition to the Lightning Lane system offers Guests the ability to purchase a pass (per Guest, per day) for a particular theme park that allows them to access the Lightning Lane entrance for every attraction in that park once during the day. It even includes the most in-demand attractions like
TRON Lightcycle/Run and
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind. I'm definitely intrigued, as this option allows more flexibility in your Disney day since you don't have to select return times for rides or shows.
Currently, Guests of Walt Disney World Deluxe Resort Hotels, Deluxe Villas, and other select hotels (see the full list
here) may purchase the Premier Pass starting 7 days before their check-in date for their entire stay of up to 14 days. Deb, do keep in mind that Guests need to have valid theme park admission in order to purchase the Premier Pass.
I hope that this information is helpful for your planning purposes, Deb, and that your Lightning Lane Premier Pass dreams come true. You'll have to report back and let us know how it goes! Thanks again for making a return trip to planDisney, and please don't hesitate to reach out anytime if we can assist with other questions.
See Ya Real Soon!
