Ready or not, the holiday season has arrived at Disney World and that means the crowds are amping up, too. If you’re heading to the parks soon, you might be interested in purchasing Lightning Lane, Disney’s skip-the-line service that allows you to bypass the standby line at several attractions throughout the parks.

But, just how much will you have to shell out for Lightning Lane? Well, if you’re planning on visiting Magic Kingdom on Thanksgiving Day — you might want to be prepared.

On Thursday, November 28th — Thanksgiving Day — Lightning Lane Multi Pass prices increase to a whopping $35 for Magic Kingdom. There are a few dates throughout November that will hit the $35 mark at Magic Kingdom — the 16th, 18th, 25th, and 28th.

Luckily, Lightning Lane pricing for the remaining parks — and Single Pass — remains relatively normal.

Lightning Lane Premier Pass is the newest version of the pass, and it’s also the most expensive. This pass allows you to skip the line once at every Lightning Lane attraction in the park without needing to schedule a return time. And, on Thanksgiving Day, the price hits its most expensive yet.
