What is the Lightning Lane Premier Pass?
The Lightning Lane Premier Pass allows guests one-time access to each Lightning Lane experience in a theme park for the day. With the flexibility to enjoy attractions at your leisure, this pass has become a must-have for many visitors, particularly during high-volume days when demand soars.
How and When to Purchase
Guests can purchase the Lightning Lane Premier Pass starting at 7:00 AM Eastern Time on the first day of their park visit, provided they have valid theme park admission. However, the booking window and eligibility vary depending on your accommodations and ticket type:
- Disney Resort Hotel Guests: Guests staying at Disney Resort hotels, as well as the Walt Disney World Swan, Dolphin, Swan Reserve, and Shades of Green, can purchase the pass up to 7 days in advance of their stay for the entire length of their visit (up to 14 days).
- Non-Resort Guests and Annual Passholders: These guests can purchase the pass 3 days in advance of their visit.

For guests with date-based theme park tickets, the pass can be purchased 3 days before the ticket’s start date for the full number of valid admission days.
A Valuable Option for High-Volume Days
The Lightning Lane Premier Pass has proven especially popular on high-traffic days, often selling out. For those planning to visit Walt Disney World during peak times, securing this pass early offers a significant advantage, ensuring shorter wait times and more opportunities to enjoy the parks’ iconic attractions.
