Disney’s Lightning Lane Premier Pass: Is It Worth $350? Skip Lines on Every Ride at Disney World

[@Saintsbabe41]

It should be unlimited to ride at 350.00 instead of one ride.

[@suziequeue2]

And all the rides and photo opportunities too.

[@blazer666del]

For that price it should be ALL parks All rides... (Universal Fast Pass Is way better value)

[@klopad57]

That is Disney's next version. The Ultimate Premier Lightning Lane pass only $999/day!

[@gmkarliah6528]

Or park hoppable.

[@jamiecus03]

I agree all rides , all parks for that price . For a family of five that’s ridiculous priced. My fam met you in Starbucks @ Magic Kingdom last August.

[@Nicolesibun]

Yay! Nate, I noticed on your last couple of videos that Gracey is wearing the collar I painted for her! I nearly fell off the sofa 😂 so happy to see it on her, she looks beautiful! Thanks for being so lovely - Nicole x

[@EllaBellaPhotographySA]

So cool!!

[@TheHomeDesigner123]

Glad that you had a great day riding. Unfortunately for others, like me, I cannot afford to pay that price. As long as people continue to pay those outrageous prices for Lightning Lane passes Disney will never, ever consider lowering the price of those passes. It is a shame the average family can no longer enjoy Disney like you do every day.

[@margaretdow8723]

I wish I could hit the thumbs up button a 100 times thats how strongly I feel about this too

[@marinmarinhola]

Honestly the best scenario would be to price this EVEN HIGHER, make it 600 dollars. Then remove LLMP. If it's so expensive, very few people will use it and we can pretend we are back in the good old days of NO fastpass with reasonable waits. Fastpass is a scourge that needs to be cleansed.

[@annettejordan436]

Realistically there’s 9 rides that wait times can be excessive, Tron, Space, Big Thunder, Tiana, Pirates, Jungle, HM, Peter Pan, and Seven Dwarfs. All the another’s are basically a walk on. So purchasing the pass we’ll be paying close to $39 per ride on top of park entrance. That’s insane

[@ThePadrottiFamily]

Seems like the value isn’t there. Should be able to ride rides multiple times or as many times as you want for 350. If i wanna ride thunder mountain 15 times then allow it for that price

[@PeaceLoveRats]

@@annettejordan436haven’t seen this sort of analysis yet!!! Very good point here

[@imakeajiffypuff4525]

$350 for something that was once free is bonkers. And you only get one go for each ride?? AND it doesn't even include character meet and greets? It's absolutely insane and anyone who purchases it needs their brains examined.

[@Scott25368]

Some people make$350 in an hour so it's all relative 🤷

[@graeme4540]

Its a a disgrace. Been lucky enough to have enjoyed the original fastpass. You just can't justify these prices. Shame on them for pricing out today's working class. Walt would be furious I think. Disney vloggers need to call it out but they never seem too.🤔

[@imakeajiffypuff4525]

If Disney would stop allowing people to pay to cut in line in front of other guests, the wait times would be significantly reduced for everyone.

[@giabarletta5929]

It’s true, we went in 2020 when they had done away with any kind of fast pass system and I really felt the lines were so much better

[@martasudol612]

seriously! when disney reopen post covid and they werent doing fast pass lanes wait lines were amazing!! they were so good I was about to ride Avatar twice in one park visit without rope dropping!

[@pussydestroyer87]

Capacity was reduced post covid.

[@Frank4202]

So for today, Halloween, for a family of 4, a 1 day ticket is $164 each ($656). Add on premier pass of $349 each ($1396) plus taxes and approximately $450 for a 1 day hotel stay and you’re looking at about $2652. That’s 3 months of mortgage payments for me. 😂. Thanks but no thanks. I’ll check out other places like Pigeon Forge TN, Niagara Falls NY, Sandusky Ohio, or Vegas.

[@Drewsfishingtrips]

I’m a fish junkie and I could go to a Alaska lodge for the week and fish, eat and have all gear provided for 5k plus the 1k for plane tickets and bout 50ish for license and you’re talking 6k for food, lodging and guides. Your pricing doesn’t even include food and such which is insane it’s already 2k they’re getting ridiculous.

[@sfranger9113]

Yes, I agree but again, if it was affordable, everybody would pay for it and then if you couldn’t afford it, you’re waiting in a much much much longer line. They have to price it to a point that not everybody’s going to do it. Otherwise, you just stand in line like everybody else.

[@RogerS_UK-1941]

Thanks Nate for taking that hit for us. You are a great guy and I love your enthusiasm for everything Disney. I could never afford these passes and whilst I do appreciate that there are many people that can, I think Disney are just pushing and pushing with price increases for everything and will price out the parks for a lot of families. I wish you great joy and happiness my friend and I look forward to seeing more of your videos. Many thanks.

[@elviswsjr]

I see this as a feature for the wealthy, especially since only deluxe resort guests are eligible. If they can afford it and want it, they can get it. Maybe Disney saw a demand for a specific demographic. It’s basically a VIP service that few people will be able to take advantage of so that’s probably why they let you ride any ride at any time you want. Not enough people will be using it to make it a problem… maybe. Then again, people pay crazy money at the parks so who knows.

[@pussydestroyer87]

If it makes you feel better, most of those people aren't wealthy. They have massive debts.

[@DanTheMan1973]

Great job Nate putting the costs of other things into perspective for the typical guest like two nights at the Halloween party or a fireworks cruise for a whole group. The premiere pass is definitely geared towards those that don’t have much time and are willing to spend the money. I don’t have a problem with it.

[@bobparr3819]

One of your best vlogs. So relaxed.

[@janeusero7631]

That equates to $17.50 per ride, in addition to the park ticket. I think if I were on a solo trip, I would splurge for it. But going with a family of five, it's not possible.

[@sallymac9842]

Staying at a deluxe resort would be the limit of my splurge. I have always gone to Disney with the understanding that I won’t see everything . I just come with my top 3 goals and I am never disappointed.

[@anngilnack5011]

I'm happy that you were able to show us the possible value of the premier Lightening Lane Pass. Personally, I enjoy taking my time and enjoying the ambience and little things of the parks. Since I've been going there for so many years, I look at it and enjoy it differently, not to mention the very high cost. If you are there for a once and done or you are a younger individual and you had the disposable income, I'd say go for it. It's not for me. I want to soak in all the Disney Magic and take my time. Thanks Nate, you're great !

If you are paying this much extra on top of the expensive park ticket, they shouldn’t limit how many times you want to ride a ride. That’s a rip off. You are paying A LOT for one day. It should be carte blanche.

[@sfranger9113]

Everybody overlooks the point of this. It is not meant to be affordable. If it was affordable, everybody would do it and then there’s no difference between lightning lane and the regular lines. Everybody would just pay the affordable price, skip all the lines and be done. This is a luxury item if you wanna have the experience you have to pay. The other parks do the same thing for similar cost. Lastly, everybody that’s upset over this. You forget the reason why the regular lines are so long to begin with are because of all the people that paid for the lightning lanes that are constantly being fitted in in front of you do you honestly want even more of those people constantly going in front of you while you wait in the regular line I don’t.

My opinion is that the price will come down a bit; but Disney will do away with all other LL options. The amount of premier for sale will be limited as well. This will allow the standby line to move quicker as there wouldn’t be as many LL passers

I think this could be good for people who sleep in and get there when all the waits are too long. Or maybe people who want to double up on rides, you could take the early 5 minute waits and then come back when the wait is over 30 to get the pass worthiness. One of the problems I was trying to convey to people doing the math is that you need to throw out all the rides that never get over 20-30 minutes. Then, do cost per ride with the amount remaining and see if you think that price is worth it.

[@nancydurie5784]

I could pay for this but never will. Ridiculous. That said, there is one positive factor for those with mobility concerns. This pass allows one to work systematically from one area to another without zigzagging to the next regular available LL.
