Lightning Lane Premier Pass

[tanc]

Wait until ultra premier access comes out with conjunction with super premier access.

Without a separate system going at the same time as express pass. And you can use between parks. And it’s cheaper.

They sell singe park, single use express pass... look at the bloody website once in a while.

When you literally purchase special access.

At least they didn't call it fastpass express lightning lane multi-pass +

It’s possible I just lean more pessimistic than some here, but I don’t think it’s an accident this is being rolled out after they’ve have a bit of time to gather some data on how many LLMP people are using above the 3 initial and what the masses will be satisfied with.

I’ll eat my hat if the masses remain unimpacted in the long run.

It could be a way to juice occupancy rates at Deluxe hotels. That might make the most sense here.

I'd understand that if it were included in the rack rate, much like universal does, but this is on top of $500+ a night. I guess if $ isn't an issue, what's another $500 a day for premier pass?

I understand that. But they also don’t have the current lightning lane program that Disney current does. It’s just express pass, single and unlimited. Disney will have premier as well as the crap they offer today. Which makes what Disney is doing quite different.

They've lost their frigging mind.

See that would hurt VIP business.

I’m sure you can hop using LLSP/LLMP.

OK, it's starting to make more sense now. Thank you.

 

[Ayla]

They don’t believe it will cannibalize that market.

The difference is LLPP is for one park only.

I'm assuming this was part of the avalanche of bad news you posted about yesterday?

It says one park only.

Welcome to Universal Orlando Status, Walt Disney World.

No no no...you're missing a key piece here.
This system is for deluxe guests of WDW...the deluxe guests at Universal get this as a perk...

Quick Money Saving Tip.

If the parks are not busy and wait times are not high, then you don't need to buy this.

Ohhhh.

 

[tanc]

Disneyland Paris has a similar system and it peaks at €190 lol, they will milk any guests at this point.

 

[Nottamus]

Found this story first on CNN, got excited when I saw pricing dynamic 150 ish to 400 ish……

Then came here and saw that it was those prices for one park.

Meh

 

[Andrew C]

If I pay for this, I don’t want to wait in line with all the losers who just paid for lightning lane multi pass.

Welcome to Universal Orlando Status, Walt Disney World.

Nah. Universal gives this as a perk to their "deluxe" guests...today's Disney can't be bothered by even the pretense of giving something for nothing.

 

[ConfettiCupcake]

I’m sure the gain of enticing people to make the jump from value/mod to deluxe who aren’t already doing it would never make up the money lost in LLSP and LLMP revenue with the capacity they’d have to give up to offer this to everyone as a perk.

People have said for years for Disney to have a system that mildly resembles Universals they (1) can’t offer it as a perk to deluxe guests, and (2) are going to need to charge significantly more than Universal and something approximating their VIP guides. This price point and method while gross shouldn’t be surprising.

Interesting at least for us as easily we can replace the substandard table service in some parks (looking at Magic Kingdom specifically) with this, knock out the attractions and have a good meal elsewhere.

Disney loves this math at $329 per person in the MK
