Lightning Lane Single Pass is the name of the option granting Lightning Lane access to one specific attraction, typically the newest or busiest ride in the park. The cost of Lightning Lane Single Pass varies day by day. Following increased park ticket prices, Lightning Lane Single Pass will increase prices too.
On November 1, 2026, 4 out of the 5 Disney World attractions eligible for Lightning Lane Single Pass will charge record-high prices to skip the line. These prices will likely continue at this maximum cost on busy days, but may still be less, depending on the date. On November 2, for example, they are back to a lower cost.
Seven Dwarfs Mine Train at Magic Kingdom increased from a maximum price of $15 to $18.
TRON Lightcycle / Run at Magic Kingdom increased from a maximum price of $23 to $25.
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind at EPCOT increased from a maximum price of $22 to $25.
Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance at Disney’s Hollywood Studios maintained the same maximum price, $25, and did not increase.
Avatar Flight of Passage at Disney’s Animal Kingdom increased from a maximum price of $19 to $20.
This is the price per guest. A family of 4 would pay $100 to skip the wait at Guardians of the Galaxy, and so on.

As a reminder, Lightning Lane Single Pass is separate from Lightning Lane Multi Pass. Where the former only provides access to one individual attraction, and only pertains to the rides listed above, Lightning Lane Multi Pass is a bundle option eligible for most other major rides in the parks. If you have an admission ticket with park hopper privileges, your Lightning Lane Multi Pass is good for each park you visit that day.
Lightning Lane reservations, previously called FastPasses, were free to guests for over 20 years. The service now adds hundreds of dollars to the vacation budgets of families who use it. This extra line item comes on top of increasing Disney theme park ticket prices over the past decade.
