Disney Reveals Pricing for New Lightning Lane Premier Pass — and It’s Not Cheap

Disney World is rolling out a new offering for those willing to splurge: the Lightning Lane Premier Pass. Starting October 30, 2024, guests staying at Disney Deluxe Resorts, Disney Deluxe Villa Resorts, and select hotels can purchase this pass to skip standby lines at top attractions. But be ready to open your wallet—the price ranges from $129 to a jaw-dropping $449 per pass (plus tax), depending on the date and park, with the rollout information noting those highest prices will be reserved for a limited number of peak holiday periods.

The Premier Pass comes with some added convenience. Unlike other Lightning Lane options, it lets you access each available Lightning Lane attraction in one park for the day without having to book specific time slots. It also includes perks like digital downloads of ride photos and videos via Disney PhotoPass. However, it’s worth noting that the pass is limited to one park per day, and quantities are very limited, so not everyone will be able to grab one.

For comparison, Universal Orlando’s Express Pass—which also lets you skip lines at Universal Studios Florida and Islands of Adventure costs less, ranging from $89.99 to $289.99, depending on the time of year (a park to park option is also available for an increased price). Plus, guests staying at Universal’s Premier Resorts receive Express Pass Unlimited for free, giving them unlimited access to shorter lines for the duration of their stay. When you stack up the two options, Disney’s Lightning Lane Premier Pass comes with a much higher price tag, and it’s only available for one park per day.

For Disney die-hards staying at deluxe resorts, the Lightning Lane Premier Pass might be tempting, but it’s definitely an investment—and far from a budget-friendly way to enjoy the parks.
