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.

Disney's Animal Kingdom has sold out its first Premier Pass date in 2025

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.

Generally included is a buffet - will have some hot food (eggs, breakfast meats, maybe potatoes), and a lot hav make your own Mickey Waffles, will have cereal, Yoghurts, pastries, etc Usually nothing amazing but enough options that everyone can find something and fill you up Definitely depends on your situation but a nice thing to have included especially if a bigger family

When i go to Disney honestly im barely in room or use pools if ever. Hence why i stay Value. Regarding transportation i actually rent a car always so i factor that into my trip cost etc because im sure others may stay off property and say hotel only cost me this then have to pay for other things bc of it. Again to each is their own. I was just wondering what savings others were seeing. Also the free breakfast is a nice perk not sure what they are offering tho

You are big on transportation costs, but I would bet the cost in transportation at a minimum is a wash with the cost of breakfast. I can personally say that we would choose offsite over values without thinking twice. For the same price you can get rooms 50% bigger with SIGNIFICANTLY better amenities. Things like indoor access, a microwave, a fridge, nice fitness center, and similar transportation. If we compare to moderates, it at least gets to be a better fight (though the fridge and AC thing is such a deal breaker to me at this point).

Thats a fair question. Listen i know nothing off site is going to have the theming and disney themed resort even as simple as a value resort i was asking in regards to the hotel itself like not a dive hotel. One that is nice clean not small and accommodating and relatively close. So if you can get that for $60 (all in) vs $160 yes thats a nice savings. Ive never looked tbh nor do i know anyone who has when going on a Disney trip. So $100 less whatever transportation cost. I guess if you are looking to save and cut corners this is not a bad option. Just not for me but thank you everyone for the insight to outside resorts and prices

Yes. I thought that was obvious.

The problem is I'm not sure what your apples to apples is. Maybe the Maingate Lakeside Resort? Outdoor access to rooms, two pools, a restaurant, arcade, and free shuttle. But, it has a free breakfast, it has a gym, and the rooms are still about 10% bigger. That goes for under $60, so still would be a pretty large difference.

I am sure that was the intention of Disney because of both the inventory and price.

I mean sure it's not meant to be something everyone gets.

Not only is LLPP a limited offering as Disney determines how many they want to sell, its WAY TOO EXPENSIVE especially for families.

JD803 days ago

LLPP is a limited offering so by definition the average guest doesn't use this. I think everyone in the conversation has to reframe their perspective.

Count me as part of the group that will come significantly less often if they eliminate LLMP (or anything similar). I have a 2 year old and as such I just won't wait in a line over 20 mins long (its just not worth it with a toddler). Add in the fact that leaving the park after ~7:30pm makes the next day awful, so I choose not to do that. Add those 2 things together and without LLMP, G+, or FP+ or whatever is next, a Disney World trip stops being worth it. As far as on site perks, don't forget about early entry, the LL 7 day window, proximity to the parks, theming of the resorts, and so on. I personally didn't find the value in staying onsite last trip... but it is more than just free transportation.

& even that perk is far from something great as the service at times is terrible and plenty simply just use uber/lyft as its not that expensive at all to & from parks

I was referring to Universal having the free perk with Express Pass. Of course they also don’t sell DVC. My point is that a large percentage of WDW guests stay in deluxe resorts or DVC and do so for a week or more with larger parties. Eliminating MP and SP would force these people to choose between (1) an amount few would be willing to pay in addition to an expensive resort stay with multiple people and (2) standing in lines. Disney has done some silly things in the last few years but I don’t see them doing something that would be detrimental to that demographic.

While it is a small percentage of guests. I would counter your point in that there is no perks for staying on site, other than the free transportation. It would be interesting to know how many are buying the Premier Pass over MP and SP
