According to the price tracker from @wdwmagic, from December 24 through 27, it appears Lightning Lane Multi Pass will match the previous top price of Genie+ for all parks.

Here's a look at upcoming pricing - find the full list at https://www.wdwmagic.com/genieprice.htm:

Wow, this is actually phenomenally good news. This means the price did not increase versus Genie during the Christmas-New Years Holiday in 2023, however on top of that, you no longer need to pay the MK price to use it as a park hopper which means that for most people (like me) this represents a price decrease year over year between Christmas this year and Christmas 2023.

For the 7 days I’ll purchase it this year between 12/21 & 1/3 for 4 people I’ll pay $960 before tax for my 3 MK days, 2 Epcot Days, 1 HS, & 1 AK (but I’m hopping every day so that AK price will get me some fast passes in MK that evening, etc.).

By comparison in 2023 I paid $1,092 to purchase the multi-parks option for 7 days.

Absolutely good news. But I’m sure they’ll “fix” this loophole in 2025 so it’ll just be a 1-year reprieve! Still, $132 is $132 and I’ll take the win, as well. Impressed at their restraint here.

So are we sure @wdwmagic didn’t make a mistake here? I don’t see this on the Disney site anywhere past the 23rd, and now @wdwmagic has the price going down on the 28th and 29th, which would be really weird.

I’m surprised the LLMP price ceiling hasn’t been raised yet. Increase the price enough, close the gap between the two products, and LLPP becomes more attractive. 🤔

First time really booking a week ahead. 8 days before and Slinky Dog was up to the last hour of opening, luckily we had plenty of days to switch. Feel like LLMP is not as worth the money as Genie+ was

I would hold of judgement until you use it. I actually enjoyed it quite a bit as there wasn't as much of a tradeoff to booking something later.

In G+ days if you wanted an E-ticket, you were stuck not being able to book anything for 2 more hours. With LLMP, I was able to kind of Juggle E,D, and C tickets around so we were basically walking from one LL to another without any waiting or zig zagging.

Maybe I got lucky, but I actually think I prefer the new version, I actually felt like I was on my phone less because there wasn't the same urgency.

In theory someone could have a 21 day stay starting 7 days from now and would therefore be able to book until the 28th.

You can only book for 14 days.

Yeah, it's just weird that @wdwmagic has data a week beyond anyone else including thrill data. Are they somehow seeing the website code (and thus seeing a week further) versus what everyone else can see?

Thrill Data have prices until the end of December too.

Either Disney have released prices until the end of the year, or there’s a source who’s found the code.

Same experience here. Even on Thanksgiving week I found it easy to use. We would usually do one park in the morning and then plan another in the evening. It was really easy to line things up and I felt like there was good value. I was skeptical of the change but it worked for us and was less stressful/time consuming than Genie+. My only complaint is Epcot. I hope tiers go away when Test Track re-opens.
