Disney World’s new Lightning Lane Premier Pass, recently introduced as an upgraded skip-the-line option, has reached its maximum price range just in time for Thanksgiving 2024. Designed to allow guests one-time access to the Lightning Lane for each eligible attraction, this pass is exclusively available to Deluxe Resort guests and can be booked up to seven days before the start of their stay, extending through the length of their trip (up to 14 days).

The pass, initially priced between $129 and $449 plus tax, now hits its highest prices as crowds prepare to flood the parks for the Thanksgiving holiday. Guests visiting Disney’s Animal Kingdom will pay $199 per pass, while those headed to EPCOT will see a price of $249. At Disney’s Hollywood Studios, the pass is priced at $349, and Magic Kingdom tops the list at $449. Note Lightning Lane Premier Pass gives you one-time entry to each available Lightning Lane entrance in one park for one day, so you cannot park hop and use the pass at more than one park.
For comparison, Universal Orlando offers its Express Pass at a lower rate for Thanksgiving Day. The 2-park Express Pass, allowing one use per eligible attraction at Universal Studios Florida and Islands of Adventure, is currently priced at $240 for Thanksgiving day. Universal also offers an Express Unlimited Pass, which is currently priced at $270 on Thanksgiving, allowing multiple uses per attraction.

Unlike Disney’s offering, Universal’s Express Pass is available to all guests regardless of where they’re staying, and while pricing fluctuates, the base price for the 2-park Express is $104.99, with Express Unlimited starting at $134.99. The price for Express Passes will fluctuate based on demand, with Thanksgiving 2023 seeing Express Pass Unlimited top $300.
