Walt Disney World's Lightning Lane Premier Pass has now sold out for several key dates during the 2024 holiday season, including Magic Kingdom on both December 25 (Christmas Day) and December 31 (New Year's Eve), as well as Hollywood Studios on December 30.
Magic Kingdom Fully Booked for Christmas and New Year's Eve
Magic Kingdom's Lightning Lane Premier Pass is officially sold out for December 25 and December 31, two of the most popular days at Walt Disney World.
New Year's Eve is equally busy, with guests packing the Magic Kingdom for its special fireworks display and party atmosphere.
Hollywood Studios Joins the List with December 30 Sell-Out
Hollywood Studios has also reached capacity for the Lightning Lane Premier Pass on December 30. Even though there is no major New Year's Eve fireworks show at Hollywood Studios, must-see attractions like Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance and Slinky Dog Dash continue to drive crowds.
Overview of Current Sell-Out Dates
Here is the latest list of Lightning Lane Premier Pass sell-outs during the holiday season:
- Magic Kingdom: December 21, 25, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31
- EPCOT: December 21
- Hollywood Studios: December 28, 29, 30
Why the Premier Pass Is in High Demand
The Lightning Lane Premier Pass provides one-time access to every available Lightning Lane attraction in a single park on a given day. Unlike other Lightning Lane options, it offers unmatched flexibility by allowing guests to visit attractions without scheduling specific arrival times.
The pass also includes Disney PhotoPass perks, such as digital downloads of attraction photos and videos.
Tips for Guests Without a Premier Pass
If you were planning to visit Magic Kingdom on December 25 or December 31, or Hollywood Studios on December 30, and have not purchased a Premier Pass, here are some options to consider:
- Explore Other Lightning Lane Services: The Lightning Lane Multi Pass or Lightning Lane Single purchases may still be available for select attractions.
- Adjust Your Schedule: Consider visiting a different park or adjusting your plans to a date with better availability.
- Arrive Early: Guests using standby lines should aim to arrive before park opening to maximize their day.
Looking Ahead to New Year's Week
Guests planning to visit Walt Disney World in the coming days should secure their passes as early as possible or explore alternative strategies to navigate the crowds.
