We've noticed a significant change with Lightning Lane at Disney World—the first sellout of the year has already happened!
Since Disney World introduced its Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Premier Pass, the system's features have mostly remained steady. However, with more visitors getting used to the 'skip the standby line' option, we suspected a price hike might be on the horizon. Despite their high costs, these services are clearly in demand, as even the costlier Premier Pass is completely sold out in Disney World.
If you're familiar with Lightning Lanes or have recently been to Disney World, you've probably heard about the replacement for the former Genie+ system. This paid service lets visitors reserve times for select rides. Staying at a Disney World hotel? Lucky you, reservations can be made seven days in advance, while others can book three days ahead.
While the Lightning Lane options are not cheap, they're certainly convenient during busy times like holidays and summer vacation. This year, President's Day Weekend has seen a total sellout of the passes. With such an unpredictable trend and rising demand, we stumbled across the fact that tickets are not only selling out but prices are set to increase this March. Starting at $159 for the cheapest day at Disney's Animal Kingdom, they soar to $449 for Magic Kingdom.
