Credit: DisneyWalt Disney World guests hoping to pay their way past the longest lines this weekend are running out of options.
Lightning Lane access for several of the resort’s most in-demand attractions has already sold out for today, Friday, October 23, and in several cases remains unavailable through Sunday, October 25.
The sell-outs span Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, and Disney’s Hollywood Studios, affecting both individual Lightning Lane Single Pass purchases and the higher-priced Lightning Lane Premier Pass. They also land barely a week before Disney raises the maximum prices of four Single Pass attractions on November 1.
TRON and Cosmic Rewind Gone for the Whole Weekend
Two attractions have no Single Pass availability on any day this weekend. TRON Lightcycle / Run at Magic Kingdom and Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind at EPCOT are sold out for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
Both were listed at $22 for today before availability ran out. Guests who did not secure a purchase in advance will need to rely on the standby queue for either ride until at least Monday, October 26.
Rise of the Resistance Sold Out Friday and Saturday
At Disney’s Hollywood Studios, Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance is sold out for both today and Saturday. Today’s Single Pass had been priced at $25. Sunday currently still shows availability.
Seven Dwarfs Mine Train Alternates Between Days
Seven Dwarfs Mine Train follows a different pattern. Its Single Pass, listed at $14 for today, is sold out on Friday and again on Sunday. Saturday, October 24, is the only day this weekend when it can still be purchased.
That makes Seven Dwarfs Mine Train the only attraction among those listed here with Single Pass access still available on Saturday. Avatar Flight of Passage at Disney’s Animal Kingdom is also still available.
Premier Pass Sells Out on Saturday
The Lightning Lane Premier Pass, which allows one Lightning Lane entry at each participating attraction in a single park, is also under pressure. Both the Magic Kingdom and Hollywood Studios versions are sold out for Saturday, October 24.
Today, the Magic Kingdom Premier Pass remains available at $399, while the Hollywood Studios Premier Pass is available at $349. Both are available again on Sunday.
Saturday Is the Tightest Day
Taken together, Saturday is the most difficult day of the weekend for guests wanting to pay for shorter waits. TRON Lightcycle / Run, Cosmic Rewind, Rise of the Resistance, and both Premier Pass options are all unavailable that day. The sellouts arrive with Halloween one week away and the holiday season about to begin.
Guests visiting Disney World this weekend should check the My Disney Experience app before heading to the parks, as availability varies by attraction and by day.
For TRON Lightcycle / Run and Cosmic Rewind, the standby queue is now the only option through Sunday. Arriving before park opening and riding headline attractions early gives the best chance of avoiding the longest waits.
Guests set on a Premier Pass should look at today or Sunday rather than Saturday. Seven Dwarfs Mine Train fans, meanwhile, should treat Saturday as their window. With prices rising on November 1, guests planning later trips may want to purchase Lightning Lane access as early as their booking window allows.
All pricing and sellouts correct at the time of publication.
