Disney World recently launched a premium Lightning Lane pass that grants one-time entry into every Lightning Lane in a park for one price, eliminating the need to monitor Lightning Lane availability and make new reservations throughout the day. The Premier Pass also lets consumers simply show up at an attraction and enter the Lightning Lane (as opposed to booking a specific time), making it much easier to skip the lines in Disney World. This service comes at a premium price, though, ranging from about $129 per person to $449 per person.
While this service is still relatively new (launching back in October 2024), Disney has already announced changes and expanded the service. At Disney’s first fiscal quarter earnings call on February 5th, Disney CFO Hugh Johnston commented on the rollout of Lightning Lane Premier Pass. Johnston noted that Disney is still somewhat reserved about its Premier Pass but hopes to build this product up over time.
