Okay, Disney World fans, deep breath. We need to talk about Lightning Lane Premier Pass. Disney just set a new record price for the most expensive line-skipping option at Disney World.
Winnie the Pooh Lightning Lane
Over Thanksgiving week, Lightning Lane Premier Pass at Magic Kingdom has officially hit its highest price yet at nearly $500 per person. Here’s the thing, though: the high prices haven’t stopped people from buying it. Magic Kingdom Premier Pass has already sold out on multiple dates this week, so if you were hoping to grab one last minute, you may be out of luck. And with Thanksgiving week coming up (a.k.a. one of the busiest times of the entire year), we wouldn’t be surprised to see more dates disappear.
Magic Kingdom’s Lightning Lane Premier Pass option is currently sold out from November 2nd through November 6th, which means that plenty of people are willing to spend $429 per person on Disney World’s newest skip-the-line option — and that’s on top of what they’re already paying to get into the park.
Haunted Mansion Lightning Lane
Premier Pass is still available at EPCOT, Hollywood Studios, and Animal Kingdom on those dates, but it’s not necessarily cheap there, either:
- EPCOT: $229 to $249
- Hollywood Studios: $329 to $349
- Animal Kingdom: $159 to $179
Mad Tea Party Lightning Lane AND Standby Lane
Not only that, but Premier Pass will officially hit its record-high price on November 23rd, when the Magic Kingdom option will cost $479 — nearly $500 per person. That date marks the beginning of Thanksgiving week, which is known for being one of the busiest weeks at Disney World all year, so this high price isn’t all that shocking. What is shocking is that people are willing to pay it.
The rest of the pricing for that week hasn’t been released as of the time of writing, but we anticipate that it will be just as high, and potentially even higher.
Peter Pan’s Flight Lightning Lane
Thanksgiving week 2025 prices didn’t quite reach as high, with Premier Pass costing up to $429 for certain days at Magic Kingdom:
- Magic Kingdom: $399 to $429
- EPCOT: $229 to $239
- Hollywood Studios: $319 to $339
- Animal Kingdom: $179 to $189
It’s possible Thanksgiving Day will be even higher than the record $479, but we’ll have to wait and see.
