Lightning Lane Premier Pass

[JohnD]

Valid Park Admission Required
Before you can purchase a Lightning Lane Premier Pass, you must have valid theme park admission. Park reservations may also be required, depending on the type of admission and the date of your visit. Please see theme park reservation requirements.

I'll stick with regular park admission and single/multi-pass, thank you. These prices are insane. Where in the app do you find it? I have no plans to purchase but, other than search, I can't find it in the app.

Its hilarious how people find that anytime something isn't in their price range, just myopically thinks it must be prices for rich people if I can't afford it.

I can afford it. And I agree with you, it’s not a price for rich people. It’s a price for dumb people.

I’m curious how many book a room at all stars and then pay this much for LLPP

This is likely the beginning of the end of LLMP (eventually)

The math could work for people. If they do a slightly shorter trip (cutting hotel/food /ticket costs) and stay at a value, and want to power through the rides, maybe this makes sense?

Therein lies the problem though. If people do that, Disney doesn’t make more money. Guests just trade out one for another

Widen the pool. Sell this thing out daily. Raise amount of PP available. $$$ for nothing.

Sure. But Disney can now fill that same hotel room twice. They’ll still sell the tickets and the food, just to different people. I suspect the math works for Disney too. The high price of LLPP makes up for the occasional empty room scenario. (Watch those “value” room prices soar…)

I'm hoping this is the heading to getting rid of the Multi pass as now with extending to all resort guests it's going to end with more guests buying it. That puts more guests in the LL queues.

I really don’t believe that’s the plan at all.

Not at the same room rate. If people stay fewer nights there isn't a magical supply of guests to fill the open nights at the same rate. If there was them they'd have 100% occupancy all the time. To fill the open nights will require lower rates.

Did they plan on such a quick roll-out to all resorts or are they adjusting on the fly?

Perfect timing for them to cash in on the holidays… what a shame this is.

Mere weeks after the roll out of this began and it’s being offered to a much wider group despite people’s insistence that Disney would never (and it selling out at the limited deluxe guest numbers), and that this product will be so limited it will not impact everyone else.

Surprise surprise. I think this is not great news for anybody who is not considering purchasing this. Does make for some interesting Disney math though.

Did anyone really believe that Disney wouldn't roll it out to more guests? It's literally a pilot program

I’ll be watching the wait times this year closely. I’m expecting a bit of a disaster. Imagine you’re a first timer, excited to be able to bring your family to the most magical place on earth and you’re hit with 2 hour/3hour lines because you couldn’t afford premier pass. You just dropped 8k, how likely are you to come back? Money grabs will catch up to Disney at some point.

Oh were you expecting Disney and other businesses not try to make money over the holidays?

Yes, plenty in here, despite the way Disney themselves called it a pilot roll out.
