For the first time since spring break, the Walt Disney World Premier Pass has sold out in advance on multiple days, based on increased demand heading into the busy Columbus Day weekend for 2025.

Magic Kingdom is fully sold out for October 6 ($419), October 11 ($419), and October 12 ($429). Over at Disney's Hollywood Studios, the pass has sold out for October 11 ($329) and October 12 ($339).

In recent times, this marks a rare early sellout period for the Premier Pass, which has typically remained available through most dates since the spring season. Sell outs of Premier Pass were very common when it launched in 2024, but have tailed off in 2025.

Current Premier Pass Pricing and All-Time Ranges

Here's how current prices compare to each park's all-time highs and lows since the system launched:

EPCOT

Disney's Animal Kingdom

Lighting Lane Multi Pass and Single Pass

  • Lightning Lane Multi Pass: remains available for all dates listed above.
  • TRON Lightcycle / Run and Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance typically book out about 7 days in advance.
  • Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind generally has better availability.
  • Avatar Flight of Passage rarely sells out in advance.

Circling back to the sell-out of LLPP for MK and DHS next weekend…….

I just realised that as well as being a US holiday, it’s also the start of the UK schools mid-term holiday period.

There must just be enough onsite guests thinking “I can’t be bothered with this LLMP stuff, let’s just buy the Premier Pass for a couple of days and get all the rides done without the hassle”.

The following weekend isn’t that the 1/2 marathons?
↩ replying to nickys
That is a good point and might be a higher percentage of like "long weekend trips" with just the Monday holiday for (some) US schools so want to get more done in less time

I also think the limit for these is fairly low so doesn't take much of an uptick for them to sell out

In answer to a post suggested that anyone who would pay that much for a character breakfast must be 5 years old. You have to look at the full context.

To be fair, I do believe that Disney character meals are primarily directed at young children but can also be enjoyed by adults.

I think it’s 2 weeks later.

Poor me with my feeble mindset! I’m so far gone that I can’t even decide for myself anymore if an experience is an experience!

Joking aside, I’m happy to remain on my wavelength and leave you to yours. I don’t think I have anything to gain by continuing this exchange.

Correct, the Wine and Dine Half Marathon is the first weekend of November.

Minnesota has a school holiday the Thursday and Friday after Columbus Day, so airfare anywhere warm and sunny is usually ridiculously expensive the minute flight schedules are released. I'll be curious to see if any of those dates sell out for LLPP.

I thought I saw it on the schedule the week before Halloween? 🤔

The first week of November is the dreaded jersey week…which I hear has taken some hits the last few years as well?
↩ replying to HauntedPirate
Last weekend in October.
↩ replying to nickys
24-26 is what I saw?
↩ replying to LittleBuford
Who said anything about an upset stomach?

…you still drop it like it’s hot…

…what? 🤷🏻‍♂️
↩ replying to HauntedPirate
Except its absolutely not, its two weeks earlier in October
↩ replying to tpoly88
I just can’t get there…

Not trained to pay more than the outrageous ticket price for line access…coupled with the prices they’ve squeezed on everything else in the park…
It doesn’t equate as something either reasonable nor “fun” to do…

…also…get off my lawn
↩ replying to JMcMahonEsq
Yeah…it’s been correct already…now get back to negotiating a bad contract for the central committee or something…
↩ replying to Sirwalterraleigh
Again, I’ve no clue what you’re saying!
