Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Single Pass in My Disney Experience

Posted: Wednesday June 26, 2024 11:20am ET by WDWMAGIC Staff

If you are an International guest visiting Walt Disney World from outside the United States, be aware that the new Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Lighting Lane Single Pass beginning July 24 will only be available for purchase once you are inside the U.S.A.

A spokesperson for Walt Disney World has confirmed to WDWMAGIC that the My Disney Experience app is intended for use only in the U.S.

The geo-location restriction means that the 7-day Lighting Lane advance planning for Disney resort hotel guests and 3-day advance planning for non-resort guests will, in most cases, not be helpful for many international guests, specifically for the start of their trip. Once inside the U.S., international guests will be able to purchase Lightning Lane Passes for their length of stay (up to 14 days.)

Lightning Lane Pass purchases will be restricted to guests within the U.S.

Steps for International Guests

Download the My Disney Experience App: Before you leave your home country, download the My Disney Experience app on your smartphone. While you can download it beforehand, remember that you won’t be able to use it to make Lightning Lane selections until you arrive in the U.S.

Set Up Your Disney Account: If you don’t already have one, create a Disney account. This will streamline the process once you’re in the U.S. and ready to plan your passes.

Connect with Your Travel Group: Use the Family & Friends list feature in the My Disney Experience app to connect with everyone in your travel group. This will allow you to make plans and purchases for everyone in your party.

I’m surprised the LLMP price ceiling hasn’t been raised yet. Increase the price enough, close the gap between the two products, and LLPP becomes more attractive. 🤔

Maybe @wdwmagic has some insider info?

So are we sure @wdwmagic didn’t make a mistake here? I don’t see this on the Disney site anywhere past the 23rd, and now @wdwmagic has the price going down on the 28th and 29th, which would be really weird.

40 bucks is just around the corner

I thought you could only book 14 days. But if you can book 21, that would make sense.

Fido Chuckwagon1 day ago

In theory someone could have a 21 day stay starting 7 days from now and would therefore be able to book until the 28th.

How do we having pricing out through the 28th? When look I can see through the 22nd, which is 3 weeks from today.

Absolutely good news. But I’m sure they’ll “fix” this loophole in 2025 so it’ll just be a 1-year reprieve! Still, $132 is $132 and I’ll take the win, as well. Impressed at their restraint here.

Wow, this is actually phenomenally good news. This means the price did not increase versus Genie during the Christmas-New Years Holiday in 2023, however on top of that, you no longer need to pay the MK price to use it as a park hopper which means that for most people (like me) this represents a price decrease year over year between Christmas this year and Christmas 2023. For the 7 days I’ll purchase it this year between 12/21 & 1/3 for 4 people I’ll pay $960 before tax for my 3 MK days, 2 Epcot Days, 1 HS, & 1 AK (but I’m hopping every day so that AK price will get me some fast passes in MK that evening, etc.). By comparison in 2023 I paid $1,092 to purchase the multi-parks option for 7 days.

According to the price tracker from @wdwmagic, from December 24 through 27, it appears Lightning Lane Multi Pass will match the previous top price of Genie+ for all parks. Here's a look at upcoming pricing - find the full list at https://www.wdwmagic.com/genieprice.htm:

The parks are busy. But today is a MVMCP day and MK closes at 6 so it was a lower crowd day. The other 3 parks were plenty busy.

I think the only answer is that an extremely high % of guests bought LLMP at MK today out of fears of long lines due to thanksgiving week. However, because it's a party day (closes at 6pm) there are just not as many people in the park as they expected. DHS and AK look miserable today Resort wide wait times at 2:00pm 205: ROTR 100: TOT. SDD 85: RNRC 80:FOP 65: TSM, Soarin, Navi, MMRR, 60: Remy, Safari, Frozen 55: 7D, MFSR, Kali, Alien, 45: EE 35: Tron, Star Tours, SM, Nemo, Pooh Everything else is 30 mins or less.

These are nice low waits but as you say, the park is not busy. When the park is busy the wait times raise rapidly then add in a breakdown or two and its havoc.

I know you do, but I'm not talking about you. As you have repeatedly acknowledged, Disney guests are not the same as people who frequent standard amusement parks. I'm talking about the people who are Disney's target audience given how they decided to price structure their paid system.
