Sold-Out Dates and Prices

Premier Pass sits at the top of Disney’s paid line-skipping lineup. It grants one Lightning Lane entry to every eligible attraction in a single park on a single day, so guests don’t need to juggle individual return times.

Here’s where next week stands:

Monday, November 16 – sold out at $429 per person
Wednesday, November 18 – sold out at $419
Saturday, November 21 – sold out at $429
Sunday, November 22 – sold out at $449

Today’s pass for Saturday, November 14, is also gone, having sold out at $449 at the time of writing.

Thanksgiving Pricing Matches All-Time High

Holiday week pricing is now live, and Disney has set the Magic Kingdom Premier Pass at $479 for Monday, November 23, and Thanksgiving Day, Thursday, November 26. That ties the highest price the pass has ever carried, with its all-time range running from $299 to $479. The remaining Thanksgiving week dates fall between $429 and $449 per person.

With guests already paying $449 on an ordinary November weekend, the record price looks unlikely to dampen demand. Expect those holiday dates to sell out quickly.

Three Dates Remain, and There’s a Reason

Tuesday, November 17, Thursday, November 19, and Friday, November 20, each still had passes at $399 at the time of writing. November 17 and November 20 are both Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party nights, when Magic Kingdom closes to regular day guests at 6 p.m. ahead of the separately ticketed event.

Fewer hours in the park means less time to get value from the pass. Party days also tend to draw lighter crowds as some guests avoid the early close, keeping standby waits down and making a $399 upgrade harder to justify.

What This Means for You

Guests planning a Thanksgiving week visit should settle on Premier Pass early and book the moment it opens to them. Those visiting on a party day may be better served by Lightning Lane Multi Pass or an early rope-drop arrival.

At Magic Kingdom, Premier Pass covers the park’s two Lightning Lane Single Pass attractions, Seven Dwarfs Mine Train and TRON Lightcycle / Run, plus its Lightning Lane Multi Pass experiences: Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, Jungle Cruise, Peter Pan’s Flight, Space Mountain, Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, The Barnstormer, Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin, Dumbo the Flying Elephant, Haunted Mansion, “it’s a small world,” Mad Tea Party, The Magic Carpets of Aladdin, The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, Mickey’s PhilharMagic, Monsters Inc. Laugh Floor, Pirates of the Caribbean, Tomorrowland Speedway, and Under the Sea ~ Journey of The Little Mermaid.

Thomas Hitchen

When he’s not thinking about the Magic Kingdom, Thomas is usually reading a book, becoming desperately obsessed with fictional characters, or baking something delicious (his favorite is chocolate cake -- to bake and to eat). He's a dreamer and grew up on Mulan saving the world, Jim Hawkins soaring through the stars, and Padmé Amidala fighting a Nexu. At the Parks, he loves to ride Everest, stroll down Main Street with an overstuffed pin lanyard around his neck, and eat as many Mickey-shaped ice creams as possible. His favorite character is Han Solo (yes, he did shoot first), and his favorite TV show is Buffy the Vampire Slayer except when it's One Tree Hill. He loves sandy beach walks, forest hikes, and foodie days out in the Big City. Thomas lives in England, UK, with his fiancée, baby, and their dog, a Border Collie called Luna.
