Is Disney's New Premier Pass Worth the Splurge? Let's Break It Down!

Hey there, Disney fans!

Serena here, and boy do I have some news for you! 

Disney just dropped a bombshell with their new Lightning Lane Premier Pass, and it's got everyone talking. 

Let's dive into what this means for your next Disney adventure!

First off, let's address the elephant in the room - the price tag. 

We're looking at $129 and up to $449 per person per day at Magic Kingdom. 

I know, I know... 

But before we all faint, let's break down what you're getting and if it might be worth it for some of us Disney diehards.

Here's the scoop park by park:

1. Animal Kingdom ($129-$199):

   • Includes 10 attractions

   • Highlights: Avatar Flight of Passage, Na'vi River Journey

   • My take: It's a bit thin for the price, but no more crisscrossing the park!

2. EPCOT ($169-$249):

   • Covers 11 attractions

   • Big ones: Frozen Ever After, Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, Remy's Ratatouille Adventure

   • Insider tip: Most other attractions are nearly walk-ons anyway!

3. Hollywood Studios ($269-$349):

   • Access to 13 attractions (7 typically have long waits)

   • Star attractions: Rise of the Resistance, Mickey & Minnie's Runaway Railway, Slinky Dog Dash

   • This one's tempting for those who want to do it all in one day!

4. Magic Kingdom ($329-$449):

   • A whopping 20 attractions!

   • From classics like Haunted Mansion to new faves like TRON Lightcycle Run

   • Imagine circling the park, riding everything with minimal waits...

The big perk? 

No return times! 

You can ride whenever you want, as many times as you want. It's like having a magic wand that makes lines disappear!

Is it worth it? That's the million-dollar (or should I say, $449) question! 

For most of us, it's probably a splurge too far. But for those once-in-a-lifetime trips or if you're a frequent visitor, it could be magical.

However, if you’re primarily visiting just one resort, there may be better pass options that are more budget-friendly.

Remember, you can still use regular Lightning Lanes or good old-fashioned planning to have an awesome day. Check out my previous article about Lighting Lane Multi Pass & Single Pass HERE. 

But I'll be testing out this Premier Pass soon and will report back with all the juicy details!

Until next time, keep spreading that Disney magic!
