Disney World Locks Lightning Lane at Holiday Peaks as Magic Kingdom Sells Out Eight Straight Days

Disney’s demand-based pricing keeps peak-week access expensive across all four parks through early January.

Overview

  • Magic Kingdom’s Lightning Lane Premier Pass is unavailable December 20–27, marking an eight-day sellout during the core holiday rush.
  • Holiday pricing holds at each park’s ceiling from December 23 through January 2: Magic Kingdom $449, Hollywood Studios $349, EPCOT $249, and Animal Kingdom $199.
  • Select Premier Pass dates are also sold out at Disney’s Hollywood Studios and EPCOT, while Animal Kingdom shows full availability at the lower peak rate.
  • Lightning Lane Multi Pass costs at Magic Kingdom spike to $42–$45 on several late‑December dates, with higher Single Pass prices also reported for top attractions.
  • Prices begin easing after New Year’s Day with modest drops January 3–4 and the clearest savings January 6–8 across the parks.
