How Much Do Lightning Lanes Cost at Disney World? September 2024 Report

It’s time for our monthly Lightning Lane pricing report for September 2024. This month the virtual queue requirement for TRON / Lightcycle Run was dropped. So moving forward you can still purchase a Lightning Lane for TRON, but you also have the option to join the standby queue during regular park hours. Considering the TRON Single Pass Lightning Lane costs $20.00 per person every single day of the month of September, the standby line doesn’t sound too bad.

To make that clear, if you have a family of four visiting Magic Kingdom, you don’t have to purchase a Lightning Lane for TRON if you’re worried you won’t get the virtual queue. That would cost you $80.00. You can get in line for it any time you want, whether that’s at rope drop, at the end of the night, or any other time it suits your schedule throughout the day. (However, note, that TRON has not been added to the early park entry attraction list as of this month.) Hopefully, it will in the future.

Here’s the final, fleshed out pricing for September. Happy planning.

Why Do We Collect This Information?

Imagine waiting in a standby line at Walt Disney World for a popular attraction. The wait is posted at 1.5 hours. All the while you’re waiting, other guests pass you by in the Lightning Lane. The longer you wait, the more people pass. It’s frustrating, especially knowing you could have paid a little extra to skip the line. But it’s also expensive.

Everything is expensive when it comes to planning a Walt Disney World vacation. So, we help our readers learn how to budget for what they’ll actually spend on vacation….ahead of time. That cost often includes Lightning Lanes. Anyone using our free Disney World Cost Calculator can use these reports to account for their Lightning Lane expense. (Our paid version comes with built-in prices.)

When you see the total cost of Lightning Lanes in the budget you’ve created, you’ll know whether or not you can afford them ahead of time. You might skip a character meal or stay somewhere more budget-friendly to make Disney’s skip-the-line offering work for you. Of course, deciding whether it’s worth it is up to you. But you’ll have the financial facts in front of you before it’s time to make a decision.
