Something WEIRD Is Happening With Lightning Lane Premier Pass in Disney World on June 8th

Update: It now appears that Lightning Lane Premier Pass availability has been updated, and the service is available to purchase for EPCOT on June 8th.

If you’re planning a trip to Disney World, you’re probably checking out all the options to skip standby lines in Disney World.

There’s Lightning Lane Multi Pass, which covers a majority of Disney World rides, as well as Lightning Lane Single Pass, which covers the more popular high-demand rides. Both of these paid options require you to book return times for those Lightning Lanes. There’s also the pricier Lightning Lane Premier Pass, which allows you access to ALL rides with a Lightning Lane whenever you want. However, if you’re interested in that last option, you might notice it’s not available for EPCOT on June 8th.

So we often check the Lightning Lane options ahead of time on My Disney Experience to see what prices might be like, as they vary according to park and date. When we looked at prices for Lightning Lane Premier Pass on June 8th, every park was listed as available…BUT EPCOT.

Now, you might think that’s because EPCOT is sold out for that date, but generally, if a park is sold out, it is still listed, although there will be a note stating it’s sold out. In this case, EPCOT is just…missing. We have to say that we’re not sure what’s going on here. This doesn’t necessarily mean you won’t be able to purchase Lightning Lane Premier Pass for that date, and it may just be a glitch in the app.

We spoke with a Cast Member and were informed that they were not quite sure why EPCOT wasn’t showing up. The park hours for EPCOT have not changed, and we were told to keep an eye on it because it’s not available to book yet. So if you’re looking at that date for Lightning Lane Premier Pass, be sure to keep checking the app.
