Welcome to planDisney, Adria! Thanks so much for coming to us today with your great question. Disney offers a few different
Lightning Lane options, and while the exact prices shift based on the date, the park, and even the attraction, I can give you a clear overview and realistic price ranges so you can start planning.
The most common choice for many guests is Lightning Lane Multi Pass. You purchase it per person, per day, selecting the Theme Park you're starting at, and you'll be able to book return times for multiple participating attractions. Pricing typically falls somewhere between $15 and $40 per guest, per day. You'll choose your selections in the
My Disney Experience app either 3 or 7 days in advance, depending on whether you're staying at a
Disney Resort Hotel or not, and you can keep booking more as you use them throughout the day.
For the few major attractions that aren't part of Lightning Lane Multi Pass, Disney offers Lightning Lane Single Pass. This is a pay-per-attraction option for specific blockbuster rides. Think of it as a way to secure a return time for just that one must-do, either on top of your Lightning Lane Multi Pass, or instead of it. Prices for Single Pass generally range between $13 and $25 per person, per ride, depending on the date and demand. It's a nice add-on if your group has a single priority attraction and wants to minimize that particular wait.
There's also
Lightning Lane Premier Pass, which is the premium, all-in experience. This option starts around $175 per person, per day, and varies by park. It's designed for maximum convenience, offering one-time access to all attractions in a given Theme Park that participate in Lightning Lane, without having to lock in every return time in advance. If your group values flexibility and wants to keep the day wide open, Premier Pass can be a great fit.
Because you're seeking approval from your group and need firm numbers, the most important tip is timing. Exact prices become visible in the My Disney Experience app about three weeks before your visit. Since all these prices are dynamic and subject to change, the app is your source of truth for the specific dates you're targeting. Once you're inside the three-week window, open the app, select your travel dates and parks, and you'll see the current cost for Multi Pass, the available Single Pass prices for eligible attractions, and the Premier Pass prices for that day. Then you'll be armed with all the pertinent information to make your decision!
I hope this answers your question, Adria, and please let us know if there's anything else we can do to help you plan your magical vacation.
