Officials from Walt Disney World Resort and Disneyland Resort announced they will begin piloting a new service in the coming weeks that provides expedited entry to theme park attractions.

The new service has been dubbed Lightning Lane Premier Pass.

Disney’s plan is to offer the Lightning Lane Premier Pass in very limited quantities, with each guest receiving a one-time entry to each available Lightning Lane entrance in the theme park they are visiting that day.

The expedited entry service will include attractions included in both Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Single Pass, but guests do not need to select an experience time with the new pass. The Lightning Lane Premier Pass will be a premium offering, with prices varying based on the date and theme park that travelers are visiting.

At Disneyland, the Lightning Lane Premier Pass will be available on a first-come, first-served, beginning two days in advance of a theme park reservation and will be valid for use in both theme parks. The first date it will be available is October 23, 2024.

When Lightning Lane Premier Pass launches at Disney World, it will be available to guests staying at Disney Deluxe or Deluxe Villa Resorts and may be purchased up to seven days before their stay. It will only be valid for daily use in one park of the guest’s choice. The first date it will be available is October 30, 2024.
