LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. – Just months after Disney World announced changes to its Lightning Lane program, the theme park will add another option for those willing to pay extra to skip the line.
On Oct. 30, Disney will pilot a new service providing expedited entry to attractions at its U.S. theme parks. The Lightning Lane Premier Pass will be available in very limited quantities and it’s only available for guests staying at Disney Deluxe Resorts, Disney Deluxe Villa Resorts, and other select hotels during the rollout.

Lightning Lane Premier Pass gives you a one-time entry to each available Lightning Lane entrance in one park for one day.
All attractions and experiences are subject to availability.

Just like with a regular park admission ticket, prices for Lightning Lane Premier Passes vary by date and theme park.
At launch, prices will range from $129 to $449 (per pass, plus tax), with the highest prices falling on a limited number of days over peak travel periods.
