10 Dates to AVOID Buying Disney World Lightning Lanes in March

March means one thing in Disney World — Spring Break is here. This means massive crowds are around the corner, and lines for rides get longer and longer.

One of the ways to beat the crowds is by buying Lightning Lanes, Disney’s paid skip-the-line service. Yes, it sucks to have to pay to skip the lines, but once you scan in and you’re rolling down the queue ready to hop onto the ride, you might decide it’s totally worth the price. Prices for Lightning Lanes are based on demand, so when Disney is expecting a busier day, the prices for Lightning Lanes go up, up, up. Let’s take a look at the prices in March 2026.

Before we get too far, there are a few different types of Lightning Lanes you’ll need to know about.

Lightning Lane Multi Pass is the most traditional form of Lightning Lanes. You’ll prebook up to three attractions at a time, and once you scan into that ride, you can book your next one. Popular rides can fill up fast, and you might not be able to get passes for the top attractions in the parks.

Lightning Lane Single Pass lets you ride one ride once. These are for the most popular attractions in the parks and aren’t included with the Multi Pass. You’ll be paying per attraction and per person, and the rides included are:

• • Seven Dwarfs Mine Train
  • TRON Lightcycle / Run
  • Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind
  • Rise of the Resistance
  • Avatar: Flight of Passage

You can also buy Lightning Lane Premier Pass, which is the ultimate version of Lightning Lanes. This is the most expensive, but you don’t have to prebook your ride or worry about the ride filling up. All you do is show up at the Lightning Lane entrance, scan your pass, and you’re on your way to ride.

Because Lightning Lane prices are based on demand, you might WANT to purchase them when they are the most expensive, since that means you might need them the most. For example, the week of Christmas usually has some of the year’s highest prices, but it’s also when the parks are at their busiest, so skipping the line is more common. When the prices are lower, you might not need Lightning Lanes since the crowds are more manageable.

• • Multi Pass Magic Kingdom — $42
