EPCOT's Lightning Lane Multi Pass has hit a new peak price of $28, marking a notable increase from the previous high of $26.

EPCOT Lightning Lane Multi Pass will vary by as much as $9 during December

This spike comes just ahead of the busy December holiday season, when demand for Disney's attractions typically reaches its highest levels. Based on the latest pricing, the $28 rate will be in effect on Thursday, December 5, and Friday, December 6. EPCOT will be in full holiday mode, with the International Festival of the Holidays beginning on November 29.

EPCOT Lightning Lane Multi Pass December High

This price increase follows a pattern across Walt Disney World, where other parks have also seen similar trends in Lightning Lane pricing. For instance, Magic Kingdom's Lightning Lane Multi Pass will also see an increase, reaching $36 on December 5 and 6, which is consistent with its previous high price. Meanwhile, Disney's Hollywood Studios will reach $32 on December 5, marking a significant rise from its usual pricing range of $27-$29. Animal Kingdom, on the other hand, is expected to maintain a steadier rate, with its highest price at $22 on these same dates.

EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays begins on November 29

If you're planning a visit to EPCOT during the holiday season, it's important to keep an eye on these variable prices. Booking Lightning Lane passes on less popular days could be a way to avoid paying the new high price of $28 and saving $9 per person. Stay informed and adjust your plans accordingly to make the most out of your Disney experience while keeping your budget in mind.

First pricing for 2025 is out https://www.wdwmagic.com/genieprice.htm

Thanks for the update! I had gotten the same data you had elsewhere, so it definitely seemed like a glitch on the WDW end. Always grateful for all the information I get here!

That was actually a rare instance where the prices changed after being initially released. First time that has happened.

Ultimately, we each have our own price point for budgeting a family vacay at Disney. You can complain on a forum, but wear your thick skin. Or you can go somewhere else, hoping that the demand for LLs, multi, etc. drops to lower prices to within your budget. They way my fam of 5 did DW 6 yrs ago will never happen again. I can live with that. Loopholes and extra perks are gone and won’t come back until there is a big shift in consumer spending. And that may take a few years.

I’ve taken over a half dozen trips since this got implemented and was able to do it with 5.5 days in the park. Needed Early Entry to do it, but otherwise had no issues.

Thanks for the confirmation.

I won't pontificate drawing attention away from Lightning Lane. Currently LL works well for both standby and those who choose to purchase expedited entry. LL lanes are not overflowing and the standby lines move thanks to the removal of unplanned capacity consumption by DAS parties. Value of LL is the primary focus now and personal justification of it's cost based on crowd levels. Rides have a fixed maximum capacity per hour and planned consumption works well right now.

The numbers were wrong. Also, WDW clearly didn’t have access to numbers past the 21 day mark, the data they were publishing past that point was wrong. Nobody knows what the price will be past the 28th since that’s 21 days from now.

Fido Chuckwagon3 days ago

Yeah, so @wdwmagic’s numbers were wrong. I made my purchases today. It was up to $39 for basically all of Christmas week for MK. It did go up from last year.

Can we bop back a page here and look at LL pricing again? I’m trying to figure out pricing for our trip, which extends through New Years and into the first couple days of Jan. The page hosted by WDW Magic doesn’t list prices past 12/31. (It had been listing prices out a week further than I could see on MDE). And the price they had listed for the 28th at Epcot/MGM didn’t match what MDE eventually showed. It does now list the higher expected price. (Example: it had said $29 for MGM on 12/29. Now it says $35. But I can only see out through the 28th on MDE and now I don’t know what’s what. Just feeling frustrated with the whole system.

Easily spoken by someone that the game (which is equal parts chance and skill) has treated well.

Life isnt fair. Play the game, make your choices, live with the consequences.

To be fair, very few people can take a leisurely, two week vacation. The average length is 5-7 days.

How were "official" posted wait times versus actual wait times? We are hearing lots of talk about Disney "inflating" posted wait times to scare people into buying into the app. I have two CM friends that told me that if a guest asks them what the "real" wait time is, they are MANDATED to repeat only the "official" posted time. They are NOT allowed to look at a que that they know is only 15 min and tell that to a guest. If the official time says 65min,..they must say that and NOT the "real" 15min. I'm sorry folks,...that does not bother the strong Burbank defenders here on this forum...but that bothers me. It's a dishonest way to get people to pay for something they might not need. They prey on guests that don't know better. Also,...do you know how to make lines LONGER at Pirates if they are not long enough? You deliberately take boats OUT of the water and keep less boats moving in circulation. Etc.. Keep that app money on your phone flowing!
