Lightning Lane Prices Rise at Disney World in October

Published September 14, 2026

Lightning Lane Multi Pass prices at Walt Disney World are going up in early October, according to reports published Monday, September 14, 2026, based on prices showing in Disney’s own booking calendar. Magic Kingdom’s Multi Pass reportedly rises to $35 per person, per day on October 4 — up from a September high of $27.

As of Monday, September 14, 2026, the increase shows on the calendar dates that are currently on sale. October 5 is reportedly as far out as the Disney World calendar goes right now.

On October 5, Magic Kingdom reportedly holds at $35, and Multi Pass prices at the other three parks increase as well. Lightning Lane Single Pass and Lightning Lane Premier Pass pricing is also reported to be higher on that date.

Lightning Lane is priced by date and by park, so a jump like this is usually read as Disney forecasting stronger demand. Wait times and crowds have been comparatively light through September.

What we know

• Magic Kingdom Lightning Lane Multi Pass — reportedly $35 per person, per day on October 4, up from a September peak of $27
• Magic Kingdom on October 5 — reportedly stays at $35
• EPCOT, Hollywood Studios, Animal Kingdom Multi Pass — reportedly increase on October 5
• Lightning Lane Single Pass — reportedly higher on October 5
• Lightning Lane Premier Pass — reportedly higher in October, including October 5

What’s not confirmed

Disney has not announced a price increase; the figures come from pricing visible on booking dates. The exact new Multi Pass and Single Pass amounts for EPCOT, Hollywood Studios and Animal Kingdom were not included in the coverage available, and neither were the Premier Pass figures. Pricing for the rest of October — past the October 5 calendar edge — has not been released, so there is no confirmation of where prices land for Halloween-week or later fall dates.

What it means for your trip

• If you already know you want Multi Pass for an early-October day, adding it to your tickets ahead of your visit is the usual way to lock a price, since Lightning Lane is priced per date and per park and can move before you buy.
• Re-run the math rather than assuming. At $35 per person, per day, a family of four is spending $140 for one Magic Kingdom day — worth it on a high-crowd day with a rope-drop plan behind it, much thinner on a genuinely quiet day.
• Remember the mechanics: you buy Multi Pass per day, then pick your attractions in advance — 7 days out for Disney resort guests, 3 days for off-site, with the window opening at 7:00 AM Eastern. Refill one selection at a time as you redeem through the day in My Disney Experience.
• If the price pushes you off Multi Pass, shift budget to one Single Pass for the headliner you care most about — TRON Lightcycle / Run or Seven Dwarfs Mine Train at Magic Kingdom — and ride everything else at park open or late evening.
• SupaPark’s wait-drop alerts can flag when a ride craters to a near walk-on, which is how you cover the gaps on a no-Multi-Pass day.
