Greetings, Catherine! Welcome back to planDisney. Your Walt Disney World Resort visit is coming up later this month, so I hope you're ready for the holiday festivities. Let's talk about Lightning Lanes so you can make the most of every magical minute!
Lightning Lane Premier Pass is a relatively new product, and I've heard great things about it. My favorite feature is that there's
no need to schedule return times; you can ride whenever it's convenient for YOU! I'm sprinkling pixie dust and wishing on a star that you purchase it for your group when you visit; I'd love to hear how it goes!
I experimented with my
mobile app to find details about the passes. I could see pricing for the next 21 days by tapping the search icon at the bottom of my screen and typing "Premier Pass" in the search field. From the Lightning Lane Premier Pass information page, tap the blue purchase button near the top. Select any day within the next three weeks to see pricing for each theme park.
Once you're on the pricing page, tap "View Eligible Experience" to view each park's list of attractions. This might help you decide which park to purchase.
I spoke to a helpful Cast Member who said that once you're within the
7-day window to buy passes, you can tap the "Lightning Lane Passes" tile on the Welcome screen for current information and pricing for Multi Pass, Single Pass, and Premier Pass.
Since only guests staying at Disney Resort hotels are currently eligible to buy Lightning Lane Premier Passes, please ensure your Disney Resort hotel reservation is linked to your account. If not, you probably won't see the option to purchase once you're within your eligibility window.
I visited last week and was mesmerized by all the twinkling Christmas lights and decor. My tip is to let the
Disney PhotoPass photographers work their magic after the sun goes down. I find the lighting tricky after dark, but those green-clad Cast Members are like Fairy Godparents when it comes to snapping fabulous images!
Catherine, thanks again for stopping by
planDisney. We are thrilled to help guests plan their vacations, so come back anytime.
Magic awaits,
Elaine
