Breaking: Pricing and Details Revealed for Individual Lightning Lane Selections

Pricing and restrictions have been released for Individual Lightning Lane Selections. Are these reasonable or more expensive than you thought? What do you think of the restrictions?

Genie Debut

Disney has just announced that Genie+ will debut in just a few short weeks! You can see the official roll out date HERE. It is nice to finally have official confirmation after many months of speculation, testing, and training.

If you are still needing assistance on what Disney Genie is and the differences between the Genie+ attractions and the Individual Lightning Lane Selections, see our full guide HERE.

Individual Lightning Lane

The a la carte option for this new system is known as Individual Lightning Lane Selections, or ILLS for short…because it makes me ill to pay for rides that should be free. Here is the official list of attractions included:

Seven Dwarfs Mine Train and Space Mountain in Magic Kingdom; Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure and Frozen Ever After in Epcot; Rise of the Resistance and Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway in Hollywood Studios; Flight of Passage and Expedition Everest at Animal Kingdom.

Pricing

The Disney website states, “Prices will vary by date, attraction and park. For example, the Lightning Lane entrance to Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure will be $9 per person on October 19 and $11 per person on October 23.

As another example, on both those dates, Lightning Lane entrance to Expedition Everest – Legend of the Forbidden Mountain will be $7 per person, while Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance will be $15 per person.

Throughout the year, prices may be lower on some days and higher on other days. This option may be purchased at up to 2 different attractions each day.”

So the least popular ride (Everest) will be $7 while one of the most popular rides (Rise of the Resistance) will be $15. Of course, these will fluctuate based on date, but these seem more reasonable than the $20-$25 per person per ride we were hearing.

Sample Pricing

Some sample pricing includes:

• On October 19:
• Everest: $7
• Mine Train: $10
• Ratatouille: $9
• Rise of the Resistance: $15

• On October 23
• Everest: $7
• Mine Train: $12
• Ratatouille: $11
• Rise of the Resistance: $15

Do note that this pricing is per person.

Restrictions

When you purchase this a la carte ILLS you can choose from a list of available return times throughout the day. You will only be able to purchase that attraction once a day using ILLS. This means you will not be able to pay to ride Rise of the Resistance more than once. You can, however, use the standby line (or virtual queue for Remy).

You will be able to purchase both Individual Lightning Lane Selections at 7 am if you wish IF you are staying onsite. If you are staying offsite, you must wait until park opening to purchase your ILLS. You will purchase these in the My Disney Experience app.

Personally, I would take advantage of Early Theme Park Entry or extended evening hours for deluxe Guests instead of paying. I was able to ride almost every attraction at Hollywood Studios with no wait!

Lastly, and probably most importantly, once you purchase your ILLS you CANNOT change or cancel your selection! This means you will not get your money so be sure you are willing to pay to ride before you purchase!
