How Much Is a Fast Pass at Disney World?

An important factor to consider when calculating your total cost to go to Disney is whether you’re going to pay for priority access (AKA “skipping the lines”) at some rides and attractions. So how much is a Fast Pass at Disney World? Let’s dive in.

Are Fast Passes Still Free?

A lot has changed at Walt Disney World since the pandemic, and FastPass is no exception.

First of all, FastPass (at least as we always knew it) is no more. There is still a system in place that lets you skip the lines at some rides, but it’s no longer free and it’s no longer called FastPass.

History of FastPass

Let’s start at the beginning. If you don’t recall the old Fast Pass system, here’s a quick refresher.

For many years, Disney offered something called “FastPass” — a way for its Guests to avoid waiting in line for the most popular rides and shows in the park.

Original Version: FastPass

In the original version of this system, Guests would go up to a machine outside the attraction, insert their ticket, and would receive a little slip of paper that showed a one-hour “return window.” You would come back to the ride during that one-hour period, use a separate entrance line, and get onboard with a much shorter wait. Once you rode (or at least two hours had passed), you could go get another Fast Pass for another ride. There was no charge to use this system.

Second Version: FastPass+

Later on, a second version called “FastPass+” came along. This version kept the idea of the alternate entrances and the one-hour return window, and was still free. The changes? You no longer needed to go to each ride to get the return ticket; you would instead pre-schedule three return windows using the My Disney Experience app — and could do so about two months in advance of your trip! You could also select your preferred return windows for each ride, versus just having to take “first available” in the original version of the system

Third Version: Lightning Lane and Genie+

In October 2021, the third version of the system came along. The FastPass entrances at each ride at Disney World were renamed “Lightning Lane,” and there were now two ways to access those priority entrances — both of which require a fee to be pad.  Guests had the option of a paid package deal called Genie+ and a paid single entry called Individual Lightning Lane. Each attraction that has a Lightning Lane entrance is included either in the Genie+ package or sold as an Individual Lightning Lane — not both.

Fourth/Current Version: Lightning Lane Single Pass, Multi Pass, and Premiere Pass

In July 2024, Disney slightly revamped the Lightning Lane offering, removing the terms Individual Lightning Lane and Genie+ and replacing them with Lightning Lane Single Pass and Lightning Lane Multi Pass. In October 2024, they added Lightning Lane Premier Pass. Single Pass and Multi Pass were similar to the offerings of the third version, with the added bonus of a FastPass+ style pre-scheduling of rides. Premier Pass adds access to every Lightning Lane Ride once per day, with no need to schedule a return window.

Lightning Lane Cost

Prices for each version of Lightning Lane, which replaced Fast Pass, varies from day to day based on several factors, including:

• Date of the visit
• Theme park or attraction chosen
• Type of Lightning Lane pass purchased

That said, here are the approximate costs you’ll pay for each kind of Lightning Lane Pass:

• Single Pass: Usually $10-$25 per person, per ride
• Multi Pass: Usually $15-$35 per person, per day
• Premier Pass: Usually $129-$449 per person, per day

Rates are always subject to change. To learn more about these options, visit our Lightning Lane Overview page.
