Skipping to the front of the line across Disney's (DIS) theme parks is about t🤡o get a faster option—with a substantial price tag.

澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:The entertainment giant said Wednesday that it will pilot a new tier of its "Lightning Lane" passes at Disneyland in California and its Walt Disney World Resort in Florida, each launching before the end of the month. Disney said the program will launch with the passes in "very limited quantities," and be available to any Disneyland guest, but only those staying at certain high-end hotels and resorts at Disney World.

The Lightning Lane Premier Pass will cost anywhere from $129 to $449 to purchase the ability to skip lines fo🤪r rides via Lightning Lanes once per ride for a single day. The Lightning Lane Premier charge comes on top of the cost of standard admission tickets.

New Passe♏s at Disneyland, Disney World To Cost 𓃲Up to $449 Per Person, Per Day

The Disneyland passes will launch Oct. 23, and cost $400 per person through the rest of the year, and switch to a variable pricing model, depending on demand and time of year, of between $300 and $400. The passes will be usable at both Disneyland and the Disney California Adventure Park, assuming the customer's park ticket has the "Park Hopper" perk.

The Disney World passes are a bit more complicated, as they are only usable in one park, like Magic Kingdom or Epcot, on a given day once they launch on Oct. 30. They also have a wider range of prices, with Animal Kingdom the cheapest option, starting at $129 per pass, and Magic Kingdom the most expensive at up to $449, with prices also set to vary, with the highest prices coming during peak travel season.

Rather than the "single" and "multi" versions of the passes where guests have to pick specific rides and arrival times at a lower cost, the more expensive pass would provide access to any number of Lightning Lanes in a park in one day, without requiring guests to pick what time they'll board the ride.

Disney's parks have been a point of contention for some securities analysts, with Raymond James analysts 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:earlier this month citing their concerns about competition in the industry and the fact that Disney itself has questioned 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:whether consumers want to pay for these park experiences as their reason for downgrading Disney stock. In August, Disney 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:laid out details for a planned $60 billion, 10-year invest꧒ment into its parks and cruises b🉐usinesses.

Disney shares were up 2% at $96.31 late Wednesday. They've gained nearly 7% in 2024.
