Another day, another Disney World CHANGE!
Disney World just introduced a NEW Lightning Lane Premier Pass to go along with the current skip-the-line services known as Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Lightning Lane Single Pass. We’ve gone over the pricing for the new pass and revealed who will get to use it when it first rolls out — but now, we’re taking a look at the FULL LIST of rides included with the Lightning Lane Premier Pass!
Disney just announced a new service called Lightning Lane Premier Pass, which allows single-use entry to each Lightning Lane attraction in a theme park. This skip-the-line pass can be used at ANY time; there is no need to book a reservation in advance. Lightning Lane Premier Pass differs from Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Lightning Lane Single Pass in three big ways:
- Additional Flexibility: With Lightning Lane Premier Pass, you DO NOT have to select an arrival window for Lightning Lane attractions and experiences. With the other two existing Lightning Lane services, you must choose an arrival window for each Lightning Lane attraction.
- Combines ALL Attractions (In a Single Park) Into One Pass: Lightning Lane Premier Pass gives you single-use entry to each available Lightning Lane attraction in one park. In short, the Premier Pass combines Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Lightning Lane Single Pass attractions.
- Photo Perks: With the Lightning Lane Multi Pass and the new Lightning Lane Premier Pass, you get digital downloads of select attraction photos and videos, along with access to Disney PhotoPass Lenses.
This new Lightning Lane Premier Pass will launch on October 30th, 2024; this service will only be available for those staying at Deluxe hotels. The new service starts at $129+ and can go up to $449 per person per day, depending on the park and time of year.
Now, let’s talk about what’s included in that high price tag. Keep in mind that the new Lightning Lane Premier Pass allows you to use the Lightning Lane one time at ANY attraction, ANY time of day. And, as we mentioned, even the popular rides typically reserved for the Lightning Lane Single Pass system (the pay-per-ride option) are included in the Lightning Lane Premier Pass price. Magic Kingdom is currently the the most expensive park under the new Lightning Lane Premier Pass system, with passes costing $329–$449 plus tax per person, per day.

Who are the resorts or delux hotels that qualify for these passes?
Lucretia Kleinman says
I don’t get it. A lot of the rides are so easy to get on with very little wait time. I would never spend that kind of money on a pass, unless I only had 24 hours to live and wanted to do it all!
Eloni says
The prices for the multi pass are bound to increase because they’ll look dirt cheap compared to the premier option.
RickTR says
Sure, let’s pay $400 more a day to be told the rides we want to ride are down.
