Hiya Sasha!
Thank you so much for stopping by planDisney with your Lightning Lane question! Lightning Lanes are such a magical way to maximize your day, and with
Lightning Lane Premier Pass, you’re truly stepping into VIP mode. You get one-time entry to each available Lightning Lane attraction in one park for one day, including those highly in-demand favorites. And if you’re hopping on
Guardians of the Galaxy, I’m sending all the good vibes your way for my favorite song… September!
Now, let’s dive into the PhotoPass piece of your question. When you purchase a Lightning Lane Premier Pass, it includes digital downloads of
select attraction photos and videos captured that day through the Disney PhotoPass Service. Think ride photos and on-ride videos tied to your experiences.
This is a little different from
Memory Maker. Memory Maker includes attraction photos, photos taken by PhotoPass photographers around the parks, those iconic castle shots, and Magic Shots (the fun surprise additions!).
So, if you’re dreaming of that classic photo in front of
Cinderella Castle or beneath the
Tree of Life, Memory Maker is what makes that possible.
As someone who lives about an hour away and visits often, I can tell you — I never skip Memory Maker. My kids may roll their eyes, but we take those family photos every single trip. And I’m always so grateful we do. The
PhotoPass photographers truly know how to capture the moment, and the Magic Shots make it even more special. On our last visit to
Pandora – The World of Avatar, they added a banshee into our photo, and it was absolutely incredible!
There’s just something so special about having the whole family in the picture, instead of someone always being behind the camera.
Sasha, I hope this helps clear everything up. If you have any more questions, feel free to visit us again.
See ya real soon,
Christina
