Lightning Lane Premier Pass is launching October 23

[Aspencreek]

Just saw an announcement that the LL Premier Pass is launching on Oct 23. From the description it looks like it will be in limited quantities and will cost $400 per person per day. That gets you one LL entry per ride that offers LL including the paid ones ( Rise and RSR) and you don't have to schedule a time. What do you guys think? Gonna cough up $400 bucks to try Premier Pass?!

I think this is going to fall into the VIP type offering category. I know there are people with that kind of money... but my family, who come for multiple days every time- this would be a no way as long as the other lightning lanes options are available.

Family of 4 is $1600- that is literally 2- 3 more days on vacation depending on where and what we are doing.

I'm sure very wealthy people will really enjoy this.

It is expensive, but some people have been clamoring for this offering. Given that people cough up $1,000 per night for Club Level at the Grand without blinking, I definitely think there's many people who will be drawn to this product.

Wow… $2400 extra for my group of 6 for one day! We have three days, so this likely does not make sense. It would be nice to get every ride in at both parks! I’m guessing this is for a single person or couple visiting for one day. Or very rich people!

Who knows, maybe I’ll spring for it on day 3 to salvage the trip if the first two days were packed, since we are already paying so much.

Too rich for my blood.

Not enough meat on the bone for that expense. Only once per ride? And no other bonus, not even a dedicated spot for parades or shows? (which honestly and selfishly I am glad because I am not using it, lol) I'll save $1200 for my family of 3 and do the refresh game on the app, utilize single rider, and scout a spot out ahead of time for a parade/show.

This is what have some have asked for

No idea how this is better then LL for all....if people think the rich wont use these are insane. As a MK holder, no clue how your suppose to enjoy the parks after noon....all rides are going to be just packed for none LL holders

 

[DontSpamMe]

Disney is on fire. Talk about having your cake and eating it too. So they keep the nickel and dime LL and also add the Universal version of pay out the rear for front of the line access.

Yes. The people who pay $1000 a night for a hotel room will gladly drop $500 extra for this nonsense.

The one thing I used to love about DL is that once you had a ticket everyone was on the same playing field…now it is just money grab after money grab.

The Mouse House appears to now be run by Rats…

Insanely overpriced but so unsurprising for Disney. Compare to Universal Hollywood’s VIP which runs near $400 per person but includes admission! And food! And unlimited express while you’re there. Or Universal Orlando’s unlimited express pass. Meh, I’ll stand in lines with the other common folk, it already costs so much just to be at Disneyland.

 

[disneychrista]

That is crazy expensive. For $400 it should be unlimited rides. I don’t even want to spend the now $32 for LLMP certainly won’t pay $400 for this version.

I think this is a great option for people who want want to book a VIP tour to get on rides, but who don't really need the tour guide.

 

[Tinkaboo]

Hard pass from this miser but i can't ride most of those rides anyway. I bought regular Genie in July and barely used it, I think maybe 4 rides.

I'm sure there will be folks happy to have it, but it won't be anyone I know. My thinking is if you are going to spend that kind of money, say for two people, why not just go for VIP Tour? You can obviously afford it and will have a much better experience.

How much do VIP tours cost? $7K? LLPP is only good for LL attractions. The VIP tour is good for all rides as well as character meet & greets and shows. Some people don't care about the characters or shows.

If you are a single person in town for a conference and have one day in the parks, this might be appealing.

If you went on all of the LL attractions, this averages out to $16.67/ride.

I don't see the value in this. Even if you account for adding both "extra" LLs with RSR and RotR on top of the multi LL daily fee, it's still wayyyy cheaper. And as for open time frames, you can already do this with modifying (although it does require work and time). If they added unlimited riding I could see the benefit, but currently I'm confused by this offering!

 

[B3rlingirl]

This price is crazy even for Disney…

It’s not that much of a benefit compared to the regular lightning lane multi passes.
Yes, it is better so obviously has to be more expensive but not that much. I would have expected something like 200-300$…
The available to go one time whenever you like isnt that great of a benefit and it’s certainly not worth 400$ per person per day… Maybe with the exception of international travelers who are just at DL for 1 day in their life but other than that…


If you are wealthy enough to spend it l, then I‘d say do a vip tour…

Agreed. I do not think this is a good value. If you got unlimited or 3 to 5 per LL attraction...it might be worth it.

 

[JerrodDragon89]

If you hit every LL attraction I think its 20+

So about 20 bucks a ride, on most days. Thats if you hit them all

Also USH now shows the prices for its Express pass and its 165ish normally on its highest day for the rest of this year. USH has 11 attractions and one show you can use it on. So you get a little bit more value at USH with 16ish bucks an attraction vs Disneyland's 20 bucks an attraction

I counted 24, including the LLSP rides. I assume Tiana's will be added next month.

I’m thankful it’s that expensive. If it were less as people are suggesting, more people would buy it, and I still would not be able to. Thus clogging up lightning lanes more. I’m thankful that hopefully just a small percentage of guests will be using it.
