Benefits increase with each tier.

The new survey tests a large $400 discount on Annual Passes. In the survey, guests were asked if they would purchase a pass after May 2026 if they were offered the discount.

Lightning Lane

The same survey also tests pricing on Lightning Lane Multi Pass. Currently, pricing ranges from $15 to $45 depending on park and date of visit. Guests stay on-property can purchase Lightning Lane for their entire length of stay seven days before their visit. Guests staying off property may purchase it three days before each individual park day.

In the survey, guests were able to select from a variety pricing for passes purchased seven days before their visit. Options for $15, $25, $27, and $30 were given for guests purchasing early.

Disney Surveys are just tests, so it is possible that nothing may come from these questions. However, this could also be a way for Disney to retain guests and reward early planning for vacation packages if the discounts to come to be.
