Hi Justine!
Oh boy, oh boy - it's almost time for your Walt Disney World Resort vacation! Now is the perfect time to get those last-minute Donald Ducks in a row. I’m so glad you stopped by to see us again here at planDisney as you get ready to enjoy what I’m sure will be a magical time!
Justine, I think you’ll love your stay at
Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa. I stayed here a few years ago and really liked the laid-back vibes. It’s a beautiful place to unwind after a busy day in the parks with one of my favorite spots being the
High Rock Spring Pool. Plus, you are also just a short boat ride away from the fabulous dining, shopping, and entertainment options available at
Disney Springs!
All Guests staying at a hotel in the Disney Resorts Collection enjoy
special benefits, but you get treated to a few extra perks when staying in Deluxe or Deluxe Villa Resort. Not only can you take advantage of
Extended Evening Theme Park Hours on select nights in select parks, but you also get exclusive access to the brand new
Lightning Lane Premier Pass when it debuts on October 30, 2024. Specific pricing is not yet available, but we currently know that prices will vary based on the date and theme park. The
current range of prices has also been released as you start planning.
When passes go on sale on October 30th, you can view pricing and make your purchase in the
My Disney Experience Mobile App. Eligible Guests should find the option to purchase Lightning Lane Premier Pass right on the home screen of the app, similar to where you see the option to purchase other Lightning Lane passes currently available. Before that date, you'll want to make sure that everyone in your party is connected to your
Family and Friends List and has valid theme park admission as well as their hotel reservation linked to their account to confirm eligibility to buy. Disney has shared that there will be a very limited quantity of these passes sold each day, so I would suggest being online and ready to purchase when they go on sale at 7:00 AM that first morning. As you're planning your park days, don't forget that
Lightning Lane Multi Pass, Lightning Lane Single Pass, and
Virtual Queues all continue to be available options to help you maximize your time in the parks. Your plans may vary a bit from day to day and park to park, so you'll find a variety of products that can best fit your vacation plans!
Justine, I hope this information is helpful and that you enjoy a wonderful visit to Walt Disney World Resort! If you have any other questions, please stop by to see us again here at planDisney!
See ya real soon!
