🚨⚡️ New Lightning Lane Option ⚡️🚨
Please read if you have an upcoming trip!

In the coming weeks, Disneyland Resort and Walt Disney World Resort will begin piloting a new service providing expedited entry to theme park attractions: Lightning Lane Premier Pass.

Lightning Lane Premier Pass will be offered in very limited quantities and will give guests ONE-time entry to each available Lightning Lane entrance in the theme park they are visiting that day. This includes attractions included in BOTH Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Single Pass, but with Lightning Lane Premier Pass, guests do NOT need to select an experience time. Lightning Lane Premier Pass will be a premium offering, and prices will vary based on the date and theme park guests are visiting.

At Disneyland Resort, the Lightning Lane Premier Pass will be available first come, first served beginning two days in advance of a theme park reservation and will be valid for use in both theme parks. The first date it will be available is October 23, 2024.

At Walt Disney World, when Lightning Lane Premier Pass launches, it will be available to guests staying at Disney Deluxe or Deluxe Villa Resorts and may be purchased up to seven days in advance of their stay. It will only be valid for use in ONE park of the guest’s choice per day. The first date it will be available is October 30, 2024.

⚡️Lightning Lane Premier Passes can be purchased in the My Disney Experience App beginning at 7 am EST on their eligible day.

⚡️Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Single Pass will STILL be available for purchase on eligible dates based off resort stay or tickets and can be used at MULTIPLE PARKS in one day.

Wanna know a little secret? 🤫

…………………………………………….

Aboard Disney Cruise Line If you have food allergies and pre order your breakfast for the next morning, and you ask *nicely* they just might make you Mickey Churro Waffles. 💕 They are highly coveted and only make surprise appearances on board at the regular buffet.

These two varieties of allergy friendly Mickey waffles ALWAYS hit the spot on our Disney cruises. Mickey waffles are what we look forward to on our trips to Walt Disney World and Disneyland too!
