    Why doesn’t my Disney app offer lightning lane premier option? Does that show up later in the purchasing process?

    Hello John!

    I see you’re planning to tumble down the rabbit hole into your Disney adventure in late March—what a wonderland of a time to visit! Early spring brings lovely weather, enchanting blooms, and all the magic you could wish for.

    Now, let’s talk about unlocking the time-saving magic of the Lightning Lane Premier Pass. Much like Alice discovering the key to that tiny door, you’ll gain access to some of Disney’s most popular attractions without waiting in the long standby queues. Here’s the tea (no Mad Hatter required):

    The option to purchase your Lightning Lane Premier Pass will appear in your My Disney Experience app exactly 7 days before the first day of your resort stay. But keep an eye on the clock, because this magical opportunity becomes available at 7:00 AM Eastern Time. And remember, don’t dawdle like the White Rabbit! Time is of the essence when planning your Disney day as Premier passes are limited. 

    Here’s a special note for Guests staying at Disney Resort hotels, Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin, or Shades of Green Resort: you’re part of the exclusive club eligible to snag this coveted pass.

    Wishing you a curiouser and curiouser adventure filled with wonder and whimsy!
