One of the best ways to save money, though, is to avoid pricey upgrades and extra costs, such as Lightning Lanes. Lightning Lanes are part of Disney’s paid skip-the-line service, and there are multiple tiers: Lightning Lane Multi Pass, Single Pass, and Premier Pass. If you’re planning a trip to Disney World and are considering a skip-the-line option, you might want to check the prices before you splurge.

So, why the jump? Well, it’s clear Disney is expecting some major crowds on these days, as they usually bump up pricing when ticket sales show the parks will be more crowded. With that in mind, if you’re traveling through Disney World on these days, pack your patience and be ready to bob and weave around more crowds than you originally expected.
