We Know When Lightning Lane Prices Will SKYROCKET in Disney World

By 4 Comments

Disney World’s Lightning Lane system has changed. Genie+ is no more and now we’re left with Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Lightning Lane Single Pass, which you can purchase all at the same time and days ahead of your trip.

Goodbye Genie+

Like Genie+, though, Multi Pass is still a paid-for service, and it still uses surge pricing where the pricing fluctuates daily. So on days Disney anticipates the parks will be busier, they raise the price of Multi Pass and Single Passes, and on slow days they drop. Based on the pricing for Genie+ in 2023, and looking at current Lightning Lane trends, we have some pretty good ideas about when we’ll see the 2024 prices for Multi Pass and Single Passes SKYROCKET.

If you like to get ahead on your holiday shopping, we’re right there with ya!

The Holidays at Disney World!

We don’t like waiting until the last minute and scrambling for gifts. We prefer to start as early as possible. When a cute item pops up that would be absolutely perfect for one of our loved ones, we grab it ASAP! That’s why when we spotted an ADORABLE new Advent calendar available for pre-order on Amazon, we grabbed one for all our nieces, nephews, and our own kids.

Will I Be Able To Use Lightning Lane Multi Pass at Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party?

By 1 Comment

The holiday season will be here before we know it!

Magic Kingdom during the holidays (2023)

Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is currently happening in Magic Kingdom through October 31st, but after that, the holiday season will EXPLODE into Disney World! Many Disney World fans wish it would wait a little longer, preferably until after Thanksgiving, but we love that having Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party start so early gives more families a chance to experience the magic while they visit the parks. However, with Disney’s recent change from Genie+ to Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Lightning Lane Single Pass, what does that mean for its usage during the party?

Sure, it’s July, and while we’re busy sweating it out in Florida, we’re dreaming of the holiday season (even if the only snow we ever really get to see is SNOAP).

Gideon’s Bakehouse

We recently got details about Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party (and, yes, tickets are on sale now), and we’re already dreaming of all the holiday snacks we’ll get to eat once November rolls around.

Light the lights and start playing “All I Want for Christmas Is You” — it’s time to talk about the holiday season!

Magic Kingdom during Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party!

We know, it’s probably the last thing you’re thinking about with the warm summer weather and Halloween around the corner first. However, Disney World just released a TON of information about the winter holiday season including dates for the 2024 EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays, info for Jollywood Nights (yes, this controversial event is returning), and details for Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party. The last two are separately ticketed events that happen after the park closes, so if you’re planning to go, you’ll need to prepare to buy tickets. That time is coming up soon — like very soon — because tickets are about to open up to ALL visitors!

By Leave a Comment

Yes, it’s true… the version of Disney Jollywood Nights that debuted at Disney World last holiday season is CHANGING, and one of these changes has us all buzzing.

Jollywood Nights

When Disney announced the divisive holiday party’s return, they made sure to also confirm several things that would be returning from last year’s event AND confirm a few new things as well. We think one of these new changes could be the highlight of the night and yet no one seems to be talking about it! [Read more…]
