Lightning Lane Premier Pass Sells Out at All Four Disney World Parks for the First Time in 2025

Feb 14, 2025 in "Disney Genie"

Posted: Friday February 14, 2025 8:00am ET by WDWMAGIC Staff

For the first time in 2025—and since Lightning Lane Premier Pass became available to all guests—Premier Pass has sold out at all four Walt Disney World theme parks for February 15. 

New sell-outs today include:

  • Disney’s Animal Kingdom – February 15 (first-ever sell-out in 2025)
  • EPCOT – February 16 (second sell-out of the year
  • Magic Kingdom – February 21 (extending its record sell-out streak)

Current Premier Pass Sell-Out Dates by Park

  • Magic Kingdom: February 12-21 (10 consecutive days)
  • EPCOT: February 15, 16
  • Hollywood Studios: February 14-17
  • Animal Kingdom: February 15

What’s Driving the Demand?

Several factors are contributing to rising Premier Pass sell-outs:

  • Holiday Weekend Crowds – February 15 falls on Presidents’ Day Weekend, which typically brings high attendance levels.
  • More Guests Aware of Premier Pass – With Premier Pass now available to all guests, more visitors are factoring it into their trip planning.
  • Strategic Pricing & Park Choices – With Magic Kingdom’s Premier Pass priced between $329-$449 and sold out, guests looking for a lower-cost option may be choosing EPCOT ($149-$249) or Animal Kingdom ($119-$199) instead.

How Does This Compare to Past Trends?

  • December 28, 2024, was the last time all four parks sold out. However, that was expected due to heavy Christmas and New Year’s crowds.
  • This is the first time in 2025 and under expanded access rules that all four parks have sold out on the same day.
  • Magic Kingdom continues to dominate Premier Pass demand, now reaching a 10-day sell-out streak.

What to Expect Next?

With Premier Pass now selling out at all four parks, future trends could include:

  • More non-holiday full-park sell-outs – If demand continues at this pace, we could see Premier Pass sell out across all four parks on more weekends.
  • Potential price adjustments – Disney may tweak pricing to manage availability, especially at Magic Kingdom.
  • Hollywood Studios & EPCOT sell-outs becoming more common – These parks, previously less competitive, are now seeing increased demand.

Planning Ahead for Premier Pass Purchases

With all four parks selling out on February 15, you should consider purchasing as soon as your booking window opens to secure a preferred date.

    https://forums.wdwmagic.com/threads/lightning-lane-drop-times.984387/ I haven't updated it in months so I don't know if it is still accurate. Not going to lie, I did the work for it for my trip last November and figured I would share it with the forums (I also put it on Reddit), but I don't plan on updating it regularly. It's not to hard to do though if anyone wants to try to to update it. Using thrill data, it's pretty easy to spot trends. This is TSM for example. Anytime there is a consistent jump to Yellow or Green on most of the days, that's a drop time.

    Touring Plans “liners” keep an updated list. And for a while here I think @Purduevian had one running.

    there's thrill ride Data. Some rides have a long list of potential drop times, but only some of them happen. TRD appears to have updated their list since just a few weeks ago. Previously, they had some of the drop times highlighted, which I took to mean the more likely drop times.

    This is not how you do statistics.

    Do we have an updated list and inventory drops?

    Splash4eva10 days ago

    Disney has their reasons and whatever they are we will never know. We can guess but most likely never know but imo no wait line posted 60 minutes should never be off more than 10. No wait time of 45 should be off more than 5. Anything 30 and below should be accurate. So on and so forth with longer yet every person i talk with who goes all say same with more inflated wait times. Even if its to make the guest “feel good” its still a “deceptive” practice. And honestly. If you are a multi billion dollar corporation with a name like Disney (at least what it use to mean) and you need to inflate wait times to increase guest satisfaction you better re think your strategy Robert…

    Apple here if that helps…

    A number of forum members thought reforming/reducing DAS would fix the problem. I also think how much times are off can be characterized in different ways. If the posted wait is 10minutes, and actually is 5, ten we could characterize the posted wait as only off by 5minutes, or we could say the posted wait was half the actual wait. Both would be correct. There is also the challenge of how to characterize some of the pre-shows like GoG and Rise. How often are any of us here willing to test the wait for accuracy when it is over 60minutes? I think most of us here know basic park touring strategy, so we don't get in line for 7D when standby waits are at their daily peaks.

    I don’t know how it works. But I know people who do pick up LLs as a result of drops - unless of course it’s pure coincidence that they are ready to do so at specific known times and get lucky.

    MDE should give users something like a 10-second hold time to book same-day passes.
