Disney’s Lightning Lane Premier Pass is still brand new, but we’ve already got a LOT to say about this luxury skip-the-line service. 

Lightning Lane

When Disney first debuted the Lightning Lane Premier Pass in October, we saw a lot of mixed reactions. Some people were looking forward to this upgraded way to skip the lines at the theme parks, while others balked at the price. No matter where you stand on the debate, it’s clear there is a market for this kind of pass. Just one month after debuting, the Lightning Lane Premier Pass is SOLD OUT on FIVE days this November. 

According to the Walt Disney World app, Lightning Lane Premier Passes are SOLD OUT on the following days:

• Magic Kingdom: November 23rd, 25th, 26th, 27th, 28th
• Disney’s Hollywood Studios: November 25th, 28th

Lightning Lane Premier Pass prices vary based on date and park, but the prices for these sold-out passes range from $309 to $449 per person, with Magic Kingdom reaching $449 and Disney’s Hollywood Studios reaching $349 per person on November 28th (Thanksgiving Day).

Lightning Lane Premier Pass was originally placed on a pilot program limited to those staying at Disney Deluxe Resort hotels, Disney Deluxe Villa Resorts, and other select hotels. By mid-November, though, Disney updated the rules to allow ANY Disney World hotel guest to purchase the Premier Pass.

These passes give you one-time entry to each Lightning Lane experience in a theme park. You can NOT use the pass in multiple parks on the same day, and you can only purchase one Premier Pass per day. Disney allows you to purchase the Lightning Lane Premier Passes up to seven days before the first day of your hotel stay, for your entire length of stay (up to 14 days) starting at 7AM Eastern Time.

Remember how we warned you that Thanksgiving is a busy time to visit Disney World? Well, if these sold-out passes are any indication, this year is going to be crowded, too. In the meantime, we’re always on the lookout for the latest Disney news, so stay tuned for more.
