Multi Pass Hits Its Record $45 at Magic Kingdom on the Monday Before Thanksgiving, and Hollywood Studios Sits at Its $39 High for Three Days

The priciest day to buy Lightning Lane Multi Pass at Magic Kingdom this Thanksgiving is not Thanksgiving. It is the Monday before.

Lightning Lane prices show up in the My Disney Experience app several weeks in advance, and as of November 1 the app lists Multi Pass prices for every day through Saturday, November 28, so the whole holiday week is covered. Blog Mickey checked the app on Sunday, November 1 and found Multi Pass back at its all-time high at two parks: $45 at Magic Kingdom on Monday, November 23, and $39 at Disney's Hollywood Studios on November 23, 24 and 25. WDWMagic's Lightning Lane price tracker showed the same prices when we checked it Sunday evening.

The week, park by park

Multi Pass is sold per park, per person, per day, and lets you book up to three attractions at a time, adding more as you use them. Here is what the app showed on November 1, per Blog Mickey and WDWMagic, before tax:

• Magic Kingdom: $42 Sunday, $45 Monday, $39 Tuesday and Wednesday, $42 on Thanksgiving, $39 Friday, $42 Saturday.
• EPCOT: $32 Sunday, $35 Monday, $32 Tuesday and Wednesday, $28 on Thanksgiving, $32 Friday and Saturday.
• Hollywood Studios: $37 Sunday, $39 Monday through Wednesday, $37 on Thanksgiving, $35 Friday, $32 Saturday.
• Animal Kingdom: $25 Sunday, $29 Monday through Wednesday, $25 on Thanksgiving, Friday and Saturday.

Monday, November 23 carries the week's highest price at all four parks (tied with Tuesday and Wednesday at Hollywood Studios and Animal Kingdom), and it is the only date through November 28 that reaches $45 at Magic Kingdom.

Records matched, not broken

WDWMagic's tracker, which covers every day it has recorded since the current passes launched in July 2024, puts the all-time Multi Pass ranges at $20 to $45 for Magic Kingdom, $20 to $39 for Hollywood Studios, $15 to $37 for EPCOT and $15 to $35 for Animal Kingdom. So Thanksgiving week ties the record at two parks and stops short at the other two: EPCOT's $35 peak is $2 under its high, and Animal Kingdom's $29 is $6 under.

According to Blog Mickey, "Those prices match the ceilings Disney set when it raised Lightning Lane prices to new all-time highs in October 2025." In other words, a year later the ceiling has not moved. Blog Mickey also noted: "It's notable that all-time high prices haven't increased this Thanksgiving, although there is always the possibility that they will for the Christmas season to follow."

How to pay less

• Skip Monday at Magic Kingdom if you can. Tuesday, Wednesday or Friday is $39, saving $6 a person. For a family of four, that is $156 instead of $180 before tax.
• EPCOT is cheapest on Thanksgiving Day itself, at $28.
• Hollywood Studios and EPCOT have the widest swing, $7 each: Hollywood Studios peaks at $39 from Monday to Wednesday and bottoms out at $32 on Saturday, while EPCOT tops out at $35 Monday and dips to $28 on Thanksgiving.
• Animal Kingdom sits at $25 on four days (Sunday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday).

For comparison, WDWMagic's tracker had Sunday, November 1 at $39 for Magic Kingdom, $28 for EPCOT, $32 for Hollywood Studios and $25 for Animal Kingdom.

Still to come: Premier Pass

Lightning Lane Premier Pass, the pricier all-access option, is a different story. Blog Mickey reports that "Premier Pass prices are only listed through November 22nd as of today," so Thanksgiving week's Premier Pass prices were not yet listed as of November 1. Blog Mickey expected them the next day. Single Pass prices for the headliners are a separate purchase again; we reported their record highs back in October.

One caveat: we found no public Disney announcement about Thanksgiving week pricing; these prices simply appeared in the app. These are the prices the app showed on November 1, and Lightning Lane prices can change. If you are booking for Thanksgiving week, check the My Disney Experience app before you buy.

Is $45 a person worth it at Magic Kingdom the Monday before Thanksgiving, or is Thanksgiving week a rope-drop-and-standby trip for you?
