Walt Disney World's Lightning Lane Multi Pass will reach its highest price since its launch during the holiday period from December 24-27, 2024.

The pricing matches the peak rates of its predecessor, Genie+, during the same period in December 2023, making it the most expensive time to use the service.

Magic Kingdom Lighting Lane Multi-Pass will reach a peak of $39

Lightning Lane Multi Pass Park-Specific Pricing for December 24-27, 2024

The Lightning Lane Multi Pass prices during this high-demand holiday period are as follows:

Disney's Animal Kingdom: $29 per person
Disney's Hollywood Studios: $35 per person
EPCOT: $32 per person
Magic Kingdom: $39 per person

These rates set a new high for the Lightning Lane Multi Pass since it replaced Genie+ earlier in the year. However, they align with the highest pricing for Genie+ in the same week during December 2023. View 21 Days of Upcoming Lightning Lane Multi and Single Pass Prices in Advance.

A Look Back at Genie+ Pricing

When Genie+ first launched at Walt Disney World in October 2021, the service cost $15 per person per day. Over the next few years, the price steadily increased, especially during peak periods like the holidays, culminating in the $39 per person rate at Magic Kingdom during the 2023 holiday season. This same rate has now been applied to the Lightning Lane Multi Pass for the 2024 holiday period.

Implications for Disney World Guests

Highest Prices Yet: These prices mark the most expensive rates for the Lightning Lane Multi Pass, reflecting its value during the busiest time of the year.

Sellout Likely: Despite the high price, if you plan to visit during the holidays, you should act quickly to secure Lightning Lane access, as availability is expected to sell out rapidly.

I’m surprised the LLMP price ceiling hasn’t been raised yet. Increase the price enough, close the gap between the two products, and LLPP becomes more attractive. 🤔

Maybe @wdwmagic has some insider info?

So are we sure @wdwmagic didn’t make a mistake here? I don’t see this on the Disney site anywhere past the 23rd, and now @wdwmagic has the price going down on the 28th and 29th, which would be really weird.

40 bucks is just around the corner

I thought you could only book 14 days. But if you can book 21, that would make sense.

Fido Chuckwagon1 day ago

In theory someone could have a 21 day stay starting 7 days from now and would therefore be able to book until the 28th.

How do we having pricing out through the 28th? When look I can see through the 22nd, which is 3 weeks from today.

Absolutely good news. But I’m sure they’ll “fix” this loophole in 2025 so it’ll just be a 1-year reprieve! Still, $132 is $132 and I’ll take the win, as well. Impressed at their restraint here.

Wow, this is actually phenomenally good news. This means the price did not increase versus Genie during the Christmas-New Years Holiday in 2023, however on top of that, you no longer need to pay the MK price to use it as a park hopper which means that for most people (like me) this represents a price decrease year over year between Christmas this year and Christmas 2023. For the 7 days I’ll purchase it this year between 12/21 & 1/3 for 4 people I’ll pay $960 before tax for my 3 MK days, 2 Epcot Days, 1 HS, & 1 AK (but I’m hopping every day so that AK price will get me some fast passes in MK that evening, etc.). By comparison in 2023 I paid $1,092 to purchase the multi-parks option for 7 days.

According to the price tracker from @wdwmagic, from December 24 through 27, it appears Lightning Lane Multi Pass will match the previous top price of Genie+ for all parks. Here's a look at upcoming pricing - find the full list at https://www.wdwmagic.com/genieprice.htm:

The parks are busy. But today is a MVMCP day and MK closes at 6 so it was a lower crowd day. The other 3 parks were plenty busy.

I think the only answer is that an extremely high % of guests bought LLMP at MK today out of fears of long lines due to thanksgiving week. However, because it's a party day (closes at 6pm) there are just not as many people in the park as they expected. DHS and AK look miserable today Resort wide wait times at 2:00pm 205: ROTR 100: TOT. SDD 85: RNRC 80:FOP 65: TSM, Soarin, Navi, MMRR, 60: Remy, Safari, Frozen 55: 7D, MFSR, Kali, Alien, 45: EE 35: Tron, Star Tours, SM, Nemo, Pooh Everything else is 30 mins or less.

These are nice low waits but as you say, the park is not busy. When the park is busy the wait times raise rapidly then add in a breakdown or two and its havoc.

I know you do, but I'm not talking about you. As you have repeatedly acknowledged, Disney guests are not the same as people who frequent standard amusement parks. I'm talking about the people who are Disney's target audience given how they decided to price structure their paid system.
