Walt Disney World is set to raise the listed maximum prices for Lightning Lane Single Pass access at four attractions beginning Nov. 1, 2026, according to Disney Fanatic. The changes coincide with the first week of November, when New Jersey schools may be out for the New Jersey Education Association convention.
The reported new maximum prices are $25 per person for TRON Lightcycle / Run at Magic Kingdom and Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind at EPCOT; $20 for Avatar Flight of Passage at Disney’s Animal Kingdom; and $18 for Seven Dwarfs Mine Train at Magic Kingdom. Lightning Lane Single Pass is Disney’s paid option for accessing an individual eligible attraction.
Disney has also updated hours for Nov. 1 through Nov. 7. Disney’s Animal Kingdom is scheduled to open at 8 a.m. throughout the week, with Early Theme Park Entry at 7:30 a.m. for eligible resort guests, and will close at 7 or 8 p.m. on multiple dates rather than the previously scheduled 6 p.m. Magic Kingdom is scheduled to remain open until 11 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 7, while Disney’s Hollywood Studios is scheduled to open at 8:30 a.m. that day.
Visitors planning Disney World tickets for that period should also note that Tiana’s Bayou Adventure at Magic Kingdom is scheduled to close for refurbishment on Nov. 2. Disney Jollywood Nights is scheduled to begin at Hollywood Studios on Nov. 7, followed by the first Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party at Magic Kingdom on Nov. 8; regular day guests have shorter hours at the parks on separately ticketed event nights.
