Disney’s Lightning Lane Hits Record Thanksgiving Prices as Premier Sells Out at Magic Kingdom
Holiday crowds triggered the demand-based system to push prices to record levels.
Overview
- Thanksgiving week saw Lightning Lane peak at about $25 for Single Pass, $45 for Multi Pass, and over $429 for Premier Pass before tax.
- Premier Pass inventory at Magic Kingdom was fully depleted despite the steep price.
- Multiple Single and Multi selections also sold out across parks as the week progressed.
- Guests continued purchasing at elevated prices, signaling strong willingness to pay for shorter waits during peak periods.
- Lightning Lane’s variable pricing adjusts by date, park, and attraction, and observers warn sustained demand at high prices could entrench or expand this approach.
