Lightning Lane Premier Pass: Disney launches a new jumper

After launching the Single Pass and Multi Pass now in July (CONFIRE HERE), Disney has just announced another new line-breaker system: Lighting Lane Premier Pass

With it, visitors have the freedom to access the main attractions unlimitedly, without the need to schedule schedule schedules in advance or face endless queues, just arrive and enjoy the attraction as often as you want and at any time of the day.

This is the concept behind Premier Pass, a premium pass that goes beyond the traditional Lightning Lane, offering a more exclusive service without worries.

Lightning Lane Premier Pass will be available on both Walt Disney World, Orlando, how much Disneyland Resort, California, allowing visitors to the two largest Disney destinations in the US to have privileged access to all attractions participating in the Lightning Lane Single Pass and Multi Pass system. It offers a significant advantage over the current model, which requires visitors to choose individual attractions or buy the service to book limited schedules throughout the day.

It's something guests have been asking for since Genie+ debuted in the middle of the pandemic. However, it is not for everyone, since the prices are very sweet.

Another advantage is that visitors will be able to download digital photos and videos from selected attractions as well as Disney PhotoPass Lenses.

And it's worth noting that both Lightning Lane Single Pass and Multi Pass continue to function normally, okay? Premier Pass is an additional service that does not interfere with other Lightning Lanes.

But attention!

Walt Disney World will start testing the pass on October 30, with limited amounts for guests staying at selected hotels. Guests can buy Lightning Lane Premier Spend up to 7 days before the first day of your stay at the Resort — for the entire duration of your stay (up to 14 days) — from 7:00 am (local time).
