Walt Disney World's Lightning Lane Multi Pass will reach its highest price since its launch during the holiday period from December 24-27, 2024.

The pricing matches the peak rates of its predecessor, Genie+, during the same period in December 2023, making it the most expensive time to use the service.

Magic Kingdom Lighting Lane Multi-Pass will reach a peak of $39

Lightning Lane Multi Pass Park-Specific Pricing for December 24-27, 2024

The Lightning Lane Multi Pass prices during this high-demand holiday period are as follows:

Disney's Animal Kingdom: $29 per person
Disney's Hollywood Studios: $35 per person
EPCOT: $32 per person
Magic Kingdom: $39 per person

These rates set a new high for the Lightning Lane Multi Pass since it replaced Genie+ earlier in the year. However, they align with the highest pricing for Genie+ in the same week during December 2023. View 21 Days of Upcoming Lightning Lane Multi and Single Pass Prices in Advance.

A Look Back at Genie+ Pricing

When Genie+ first launched at Walt Disney World in October 2021, the service cost $15 per person per day. Over the next few years, the price steadily increased, especially during peak periods like the holidays, culminating in the $39 per person rate at Magic Kingdom during the 2023 holiday season. This same rate has now been applied to the Lightning Lane Multi Pass for the 2024 holiday period.

Implications for Disney World Guests

Highest Prices Yet: These prices mark the most expensive rates for the Lightning Lane Multi Pass, reflecting its value during the busiest time of the year.

Sellout Likely: Despite the high price, if you plan to visit during the holidays, you should act quickly to secure Lightning Lane access, as availability is expected to sell out rapidly.

Same experience here. Even on Thanksgiving week I found it easy to use. We would usually do one park in the morning and then plan another in the evening. It was really easy to line things up and I felt like there was good value. I was skeptical of the change but it worked for us and was less stressful/time consuming than Genie+. My only complaint is Epcot. I hope tiers go away when Test Track re-opens.

Well in that case, 🤷‍♀️

Those prices don't match the existing WDW listed-prices (listed now through the 24th and it's $39 on the 23 & 24th) nor do they match what @wdwmagic posted above.

Where are you seeing this? On this website: https://www.thrill-data.com/lightning-lane-prices I am seeing it through the 24th of December only.

You can only book for 14 days. Thrill Data have prices until the end of December too. Either Disney have released prices until the end of the year, or there’s a source who’s found the code.

Yeah, it's just weird that @wdwmagic has data a week beyond anyone else including thrill data. Are they somehow seeing the website code (and thus seeing a week further) versus what everyone else can see?

I would hold of judgement until you use it. I actually enjoyed it quite a bit as there wasn't as much of a tradeoff to booking something later. In G+ days if you wanted an E-ticket, you were stuck not being able to book anything for 2 more hours. With LLMP, I was able to kind of Juggle E,D, and C tickets around so we were basically walking from one LL to another without any waiting or zig zagging. Maybe I got lucky, but I actually think I prefer the new version, I actually felt like I was on my phone less because there wasn't the same urgency.

First time really booking a week ahead. 8 days before and Slinky Dog was up to the last hour of opening, luckily we had plenty of days to switch. Feel like LLMP is not as worth the money as Genie+ was

The data has been accurate - the price shown for December 24 matches what is listed in the My Disney Experience app today.

I’m surprised the LLMP price ceiling hasn’t been raised yet. Increase the price enough, close the gap between the two products, and LLPP becomes more attractive. 🤔

Maybe @wdwmagic has some insider info?

Fido Chuckwagon22 hours ago

So are we sure @wdwmagic didn’t make a mistake here? I don’t see this on the Disney site anywhere past the 23rd, and now @wdwmagic has the price going down on the 28th and 29th, which would be really weird.
