## At the parks

- **Lightning Lane Single Pass:** maximum prices rise Nov. 1 at four rides. [Disney Tourist Blog reports](https://disneytouristblog.com/disney-world-raises-lightning-lane-single-pass-prices-to-new-highs-50-increase-on-premier-still-to-come/?ref=stackthemagic.com) (and [Mickey Visit](https://mickeyvisit.com/record-high-prices-lightning-lane-disney-world-october-12-2026/?ref=stackthemagic.com) agrees) Seven Dwarfs Mine Train goes from $15 to $18, TRON Lightcycle / Run from $23 to $25, Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind from $22 to $25 and Avatar Flight of Passage from $19 to $20\. Rise of the Resistance stays at $25\. These are top-of-range prices (as of Oct. 12 reports), and slower days run lower.
