Disney World Surveys $400 Annual Pass Discount and Early-Purchase Lightning Lane Pricing

The poll explores demand-smoothing incentives without signaling confirmed changes.

Overview

  • Guest surveys test whether a $400 reduction would prompt buying an Annual Pass after May 2026, with examples dropping the Sorcerer Pass to about $699 and the Incredi‑Pass to roughly $1,229 before tax.
  • Questions present Lightning Lane Multi Pass prices of $30, $27, $25, or $15 per person per day if purchased during the seven‑day pre‑arrival window.
  • Current Lightning Lane pricing varies by park and date (about $15–$45 per day) and does not change based on purchase timing, with resort guests booking seven days out and others three days out.
  • The survey probes tiered skip‑the‑line concepts such as attraction and time‑of‑day tiers, plus potential Annual Passholder perks like discounted daily purchases or a season‑long Lightning Lane add‑on.
  • Outlets stress these ideas are exploratory, and reporting interprets the early‑purchase and tiering questions as efforts to drive earlier commitments and improve capacity forecasting.
