A big transformation begins at Disney World today!
Magic Kingdom’s Cinderella Castle
Planning for Disney in 2025 now involves aspects like the Disney Dining Plan, year’s major closures, and new changes to the skip-the-line service. Big changes start today, January 21st, 2025, and we've got all the details!
The Lightning Lane Premier Pass is now available to all Disney World guests! Launched in October 2024, this pass provides access to every lightning lane at their chosen park without booking times, allowing one ride on each attraction daily.

Initially available to guests at certain Disney resorts, the Premier Pass is now accessible to all Disney World visitors!
Lightning Lane at Peter Pan’s Flight
Resort guests can buy the pass 7 days before their stay, while others can purchase it 3 days in advance, offering a slight advantage as it can sell out.

Despite its high price, Magic Kingdom's Premier Pass has sold out previously, with prices depending on season and demand. Currently, Magic Kingdom’s pass is $379, EPCOT’s is $229, Hollywood Studios’ is $329, and Animal Kingdom’s is $129, applying to one park per day.

The Premier Pass covers all lightning lanes, including single-pass attractions that usually cost extra. This inclusion is beneficial given the pass's price, covering popular rides.
TRON Lightcycle / Run
It also includes select ride photos. Though more costly than the Multi Pass, which requires booking times, it's a convenient option for stress-free visits.
