We know when Lightning Lane prices will finally dip.
Lightning Lanes in Walt Disney World
A lot of aspects of waiting in line at Disney World changed since the company introduced the new Lightning Lane Single Pass and Lightning Lane Multi Pass systems last month. However, one thing that’s remained stable is the price…until now.
Since the changeover to the new system in late July, Lightning Lane Multi Pass prices for the Magic Kingdom haven’t been below $25, oscillating between $25 and $27. In fact, it goes back further than that, as prices for the Lightning Lane Multi Pass system’s predecessor Genie+ system hadn’t seen prices dip below $25 since May 1st.
That’s going to change in September. On September 2nd, prices for Lightning Lane Multi Pass at the Magic Kingdom are currently scheduled to be priced at $23. What’s even more surprising is this is Labor Day, meaning many people have a 3-day weekend. Usually the parks are quite busy on holiday weekends, but based on these prices, it seems Disney isn’t expecting that.

If you haven’t used the new system yet, a quick refresher on how it works:
Lightning Lane Multi Pass
You will now be able to make 3 Lightning Lane selections in a theme park, in advance of your visit and choose available times as you make your selections. From there, as you use each selection on the day of your visit, you can use the My Disney Experience app for availability to make an additional selection.

Lightning Lane Single Pass
Lightning Lane Single Pass will remain similar to Individual Lightning Lanes, today in concept. You’ll still be able to “secure a time to ride one of (Disney’s) most highly demanded attractions” for an additional charge. However, you’ll now be able to make said purchase and plan in advance.
Guests staying at a Disney Resort hotel and other select hotels will be able to plan Lightning Lane Multi and Single passes up to 7 days in advance, for their entire stay (up to 14 days). All other guests can plan up to 3 days in advance.
