Lightning Lane prices at Walt Disney World move with the calendar, and the holiday dates are the priciest. Checking the My Disney Experience app on October 26, here's the range Magic Kingdom's passes were showing per guest.

Magic Kingdom prices, per guest

It's the date, not a flat increase

These aren't permanent price hikes. Lightning Lane is priced by date, so the same pass costs more on a busy holiday day than on a quiet one. On November 15, for example, the three were back at the low end - $15, $23 and $37. So the right way to read it: budget for the high end if you're visiting over the holidays, but don't assume every date is the top price.

Prices vary by date and can change. Check the My Disney Experience app for your dates.

The Lightning Lane section of Starlit Magic helps you decide when a pass is actually worth buying - which rides, which dates, and when standby is the smarter play.
