Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Single Pass in My Disney Experience

Posted: Friday June 28, 2024 5:56pm ET by WDWMAGIC Staff

Good news for guests in Canada who plan to use the new Lightning Lane passes at Walt Disney World when the new booking process launches on July 24.

We have confirmed that Canadian guests may continue to use the My Disney Experience app after the launch of pre-arrival purchasing and planning for Lightning Lane passes.

We reported earlier this week that the My Disney Experience app is intended for use only in the U.S., and international guests would not be able to purchase Lightning Lane passes until they arrived in the United States.

Lightning Lane Pass purchases will be restricted to guests within the U.S.

Steps for International Guests Outside of U.S.A. and Canada

Download the My Disney Experience App: Before you leave your home country, download the My Disney Experience app on your smartphone. While you can download it beforehand, remember that you won’t be able to use it to make Lightning Lane selections until you arrive in the U.S.

Set Up Your Disney Account: If you don’t already have one, create a Disney account. This will streamline the process once you’re in the U.S. and ready to plan your passes.

Connect with Your Travel Group: Use the Family & Friends list feature in the My Disney Experience app to connect with everyone in your travel group. This will allow you to make plans and purchases for everyone in your party.

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.

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!
