Walt Disney World Lightning Lane Premier Pass

Walt Disney World Lightning Lane Premier Pass is the premium line-skipping service at the Walt Disney World Resort that allows visitors to access Lightning Lanes for all attractions that offer them without needing to book a return window.

This service is separate from Lightning Lane Multi Pass, which is Walt Disney World’s main line-skipping service, and Lightning Lane Single Pass, which is a separate individual purchase for entry to the attractions in the highest demand. The key difference between these and Lightning Lane Premier Pass is that the premium service provides you with access to the most rides and maximum flexibility for approaching your park day.
