Walt Disney World guests will soon see price increases for some of the most popular attractions using the Lightning Lane Single Pass system.

Beginning October 18, 2024, prices for individual attraction access will rise across three major rides:

  • Seven Dwarfs Mine Train at Magic Kingdom: $13 (up from a previous high of $12)
  • TRON Lightcycle Run at Magic Kingdom: $21 (up from a previous high of $20)
  • Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind at EPCOT: $18 (up from a previous high of $17)

These increases mark the highest prices guests have seen for these specific attractions. Disney uses dynamic pricing for its Lightning Lane Passes, which may vary. You can see advance Lighting Lane pricing before you buy in My Disney Experience.

I mean obviously Standby and Rope drop are options. However, the quantity/frequency that I am able to get on attractions will get worse if they move to a LLPP/Standby only system.

I have also see posts here saying families were able to get on attractions without having to purchase LLMP so there are ways.

I sure hope not... I don't have the money for LLPP and I can typically do everything I want to do in a day with LLMP. And before someone comes in to tell me that the standby lines would be so short if they got rid of all the skip the lines I would still be able to do everything I wanted with a minimal wait... My "worst" trip to Disney was in October 2021 right before G+ launched and there was no skip the line (still had a great time, just not as good of a time). If the options were LLPP or standby online, I would visit a lot less.

For sure. They've basically looked at all aspects of their parks and resorts and said, "Why aren't we profiting from _____?" Then they made it so they are.

Hang on, is this why you think they introduced G+ rather than free FP+? That there were too many people using it that they decided it didn’t work. I think they simply decided this was a way to get some new revenue. Paid versions were already in place at DLP and at least one of Tokyo and Shanghai (possibly both) before WDW. When it was first rumoured the discussion included variations of all existing options. So they saw good sales in the other parks and wanted the revenue.

I personally think they need to get rid of LLMP and just have the Premier Pass. Keep that limited.

How would reducing the number of passes help the people buying LLMP? Wouldn't that just make rides sell out faster, causing people to get less lightning lanes per day, thus devaluing the upcharge? Disney for sure wants people to feel like LLMP is worth it so they buy it next time/tell their friends they should buy it.

Huh? It would be better….

Why would they make an upcharge worse to help people that didn't purchase the upcharge?

CaptJackSparrow1 day ago

Just reduce the number of passes available per ride, per day. They already do this all the time.
