For the first time in 2025—and since Lightning Lane Premier Pass became available to all guests—Premier Pass has sold out at all four Walt Disney World theme parks for February 15. 

New sell-outs today include:

  • Disney’s Animal Kingdom – February 15 (first-ever sell-out in 2025)
  • EPCOT – February 16 (second sell-out of the year
  • Magic Kingdom – February 21 (extending its record sell-out streak)

Current Premier Pass Sell-Out Dates by Park

  • Magic Kingdom: February 12-21 (10 consecutive days)
  • EPCOT: February 15, 16
  • Hollywood Studios: February 14-17
  • Animal Kingdom: February 15

What’s Driving the Demand?

Several factors are contributing to rising Premier Pass sell-outs:

  • Holiday Weekend Crowds – February 15 falls on Presidents’ Day Weekend, which typically brings high attendance levels.
  • More Guests Aware of Premier Pass – With Premier Pass now available to all guests, more visitors are factoring it into their trip planning.
  • Strategic Pricing & Park Choices – With Magic Kingdom’s Premier Pass priced between $329-$449 and sold out, guests looking for a lower-cost option may be choosing EPCOT ($149-$249) or Animal Kingdom ($119-$199) instead.

How Does This Compare to Past Trends?

  • December 28, 2024, was the last time all four parks sold out. However, that was expected due to heavy Christmas and New Year’s crowds.
  • This is the first time in 2025 and under expanded access rules that all four parks have sold out on the same day.
  • Magic Kingdom continues to dominate Premier Pass demand, now reaching a 10-day sell-out streak.

What to Expect Next?

With Premier Pass now selling out at all four parks, future trends could include:

  • More non-holiday full-park sell-outs – If demand continues at this pace, we could see Premier Pass sell out across all four parks on more weekends.
  • Potential price adjustments – Disney may tweak pricing to manage availability, especially at Magic Kingdom.
  • Hollywood Studios & EPCOT sell-outs becoming more common – These parks, previously less competitive, are now seeing increased demand.

Planning Ahead for Premier Pass Purchases

With all four parks selling out on February 15, you should consider purchasing as soon as your booking window opens to secure a preferred date.

Very convenient timing for this announcement …if you trust coincidence

Ah, okay. I figured Disney hadn't said anything official, but I thought maybe someone from inside might have leaked something. I mean, it's hard to even know what to think of the passes selling out without any idea of how many there are. I'd like to think the number is small enough to not have a significant effect on stand-by wait times, but that may be wishful thinking on my part. Or, the number may be small now but may expand over time.

I have a plan, but it requires someone who wants to light a lot of money on fire. Book a bunch of 10+ day trips, and then on your 7+10 day buy all the LLPP you can until they sell out and you have all of them. Then we can find out how many there are per day.

That and if they kept it to only 10% and got rid of LLMP standby would have constant movement.

And 10% of that at an average of $350 a pop is $620M a year with an almost 100% profit margin. Just for one park. That would be hard for the bean counters to resist.

we have no idea other than Disney saying "very limited quantities" MK has average attendance of 48,500 (in 2023). 1% of that would be 485 - my guess would be somewhere around there but we have no idea

Disney haven’t released any data on this.

Slowjack4 days ago

I apologize if this has been asked before, but I haven't been following this daily and couldn't find this with a search: do we have any idea approximately how many premier passes Disney makes available each day? Like per park, do we think it is dozens? Hundreds? More?

The lines are still there and usable with DAS or a tour guide. As far as I know, stuff like Carousel of Progress or the Riverboat just flat out physically doesn't have a line at all.

Characters don't have LLs anymore (including Belle)

WorldExplorer5 days ago

Another stipulation is that you don't get access to character LLs. That includes Enchanted Tales with Belle even though I would think that qualifies as a show more than a character meet.

TheMaxRebo5 days ago

True, that is more accurate. LLPP gets you access to all the LL that exist in the specific park you got LLPP be they designated as LLMP or LLSP but doesn't skip lines for rides that do not have any LL

For me, personally, riding Guardians isn't on my radar anymore. The forced rotation messes up my equilibrium more and more now, and nothing about the ride is worth it. So others can have my spot on what I considered a very "meh" ride even after my first ride (which didn't cause me to feel sick, the effect the ride has on me has gotten worse over the past few years. But I can ride other coasters without a problem). I've been visiting since 1977. There isn't a single damn thing that I would pay to ride. :) We did LLMP one time, involving a very unique set of circumstances. I can't say "never again", because I don't know what the future holds whenever I do return (no current plans to visit WDW again for at least 4-5 years), but the likelihood of us purchasing any LL product is very, very small.

There are also a very small around of rides not included in LLPP (They are not on LLSP or LLMP either). COP, Astro Orbitor, People mover, Riverboat, Train, Main street vehicles, and the Wildlife express train are the ones that come to mind... Typically those don't really have a wait (people mover can creep up a little bit and Astro Orbitor can be long), but if there is a line, LLPP does not allow you to skip it
