Lightning Lane Premier Pass continues to see strong demand at Walt Disney World, achieving another seven-day sell-out streak—even as prices remain at or near peak levels.
From March 7 through March 13 2025, Magic Kingdom's Premier Pass is completely sold out, with pricing set at:
- March 7: $429
- March 8 - 9: $449 (Peak Pricing)
- March 10 - 13: $429
This marks another full week of sell-outs, showing that even at the highest price tiers, guests are still purchasing Premier Pass at a high rate.
Purchasing Premier Pass is Becoming More Difficult
With Premier Pass selling out for extended periods, securing a pass is becoming increasingly difficult—especially for non-resort guests.
- Guests staying at Disney Resort hotels can purchase the Premier Pass up to 7 days before their stay
- All other guests can only purchase up to 3 days in advance
This means that by the time non-resort guests become eligible to purchase, Premier Pass may already be sold out—especially at Magic Kingdom.
With more frequent multi-day sell-outs, non-resort guests may struggle to buy Premier Pass on high-demand dates, making early booking a necessity.
Why is Premier Pass Still Selling Out at High Prices?
Several key factors are driving this trend:
- Early Spring Break Travelers – While the busiest spring break weeks start March 10, some school districts and colleges are already on break, bringing more visitors to Disney World.
- Magic Kingdom's High Demand – As the park with the most attractions and highest crowd levels, Magic Kingdom consistently sells out Premier Pass before any other park.
- Guests Prioritizing Skip-the-Line Access Over Cost – Even at $449 per person, guests are choosing Premier Pass to avoid long waits on major rides like Tiana's Bayou Adventure, TRON Lightcycle / Run, and Seven Dwarfs Mine Train.
- Limited Alternative Options – While Lightning Lane Multi Pass remains available, it requires pre-selecting times and attractions, while Premier Pass allows anytime access.
How Does This Compare to Past Sell-Out Streaks?
- Magic Kingdom previously sold out for 10 days straight in February (Feb 12-21), showing that extended sell-outs are becoming more frequent.
- These are the first extended multi-day sell-outs at Magic Kingdom since Premier Pass returned to peak pricing.
- March 8 and 9 at $449 match the highest price ever charged for Premier Pass, reinforcing that high prices are not deterring demand.
What to Expect Moving Forward
With spring break crowds building, more multi-day sell-outs are likely in the coming weeks. If Magic Kingdom continues to sell out even at peak prices, it raises key questions:
- Will Disney increase Premier Pass prices even further?
- Could other parks see more sell-outs as availability at Magic Kingdom disappears? Disney's Hollywood Studios has previously seen multi-day sell-outs.
- Will Premier Pass become consistently unavailable for high-demand periods like spring break, summer, and the holidays?
Final Takeaway
If you're planning to visit Disney World this March or April, consider purchasing Premier Pass as early as possible—especially for Magic Kingdom, where sell-outs are happening earlier and more frequently than ever before.
With resort guests getting a four-day head start on purchasing, non-resort guests may find it increasingly difficult to buy Premier Pass for high-demand dates.
