Disney World Quietly Overhauls Lightning Lane With Higher Prices, Tighter Limits
Fan sites say guests are discovering the changes on their own without a clear system-wide announcement.
Overview
- Recent reports from Inside the Magic and DisneyFanatic describe a low-profile rollout that left many visitors asking when the rules changed.
- Lightning Lane pricing has jumped during peak periods, with some Individual selections nearly doubling and some families saying a day’s access can rival park admission.
- Guests are now limited to two Individual Lightning Lane purchases per day, shifting additional access to the separate Multi Pass offering.
- Multi Pass enforces stricter sequencing rules that require scanning the first three reservations before booking another and disallows immediate repeats of the same attraction.
- Fans note the new structure hits Magic Kingdom hardest due to its heavier demand, with comparatively less impact at EPCOT and Disney’s Animal Kingdom.
