If you’re not a big fan of waiting in long standby lines in Disney World, especially around the holiday season, you may consider purchasing one of Disney’s Lightning Lane options, like Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Lightning Lane Single Pass.
However, if you want a bit more flexibility, you might even consider purchasing Lightning Lane Premier Pass. This is Disney’s more expensive skip-the-line option that gives you the ability to skip the process of pre-book Lightning Lanes for specific times (like you do with the other options) and simply enter a ride’s Lightning Lane whenever you want. Well, if you’re looking to purchase that option for specific dates, you could be out of luck.
Why do we say that? Well, Lightning Lane Premier Pass has sold out for several days in Disney World at certain parks. On December 21st, both Magic Kingdom and EPCOT had no Lightning Lane Premier Passes available. That means folks paid $419 for the Magic Kingdom pass and $149 for the EPCOT pass for that day.
Magic Kingdom was also out for December 25th, Christmas Day. That day, the price for the Premier Pass was $449.
We also noticed that Magic Kingdom was sold out for December 27th. The price for Lightning Lane Premier Pass for that day was $449.
On December 28th, Lightning Lane Premier pass was sold out for both Magic Kingdom and Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Magic Kingdom’s price was $449, while Hollywood Studios was $349.
All FOUR parks are also sold out on December 29th and 30th. The price for Magic Kingdom was $449, while the price for Hollywood Studios was $349, Animal Kingdom was $199, and EPCOT was $249 for both dates.
And on one of the busiest days of the year, New Year’s Eve, Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, and Hollywood Studios Premier Passes are sold out. The Magic Kingdom pass sold for $449, EPCOT for $249, and Hollywood Studios for $349 that day, as well.
We do have to point out that Lightning Lane Premier Pass is offered in limited quantities, so it might not take a lot for it to sell out. But it does seem like some people are buying it to bypass long standby lines associated with this time of year in Disney World.
