Walt Disney World Implements Widespread Price Increases

Effective October 8, 2025, Walt Disney World has officially raised prices across many areas of the resort, including tickets, annual passes, parking, food, and special tours. The increases come amid inflation, rising operational costs, and continued demand at the resort.


Ticket Increases

For the first time, a single-day, single-park ticket at Magic Kingdom has crossed the $200 mark. On peak dates, tickets now top out at $209, up from the previous high of $199.

Other parks have also seen price increases in their peak-tier tickets:

  • Magic Kingdom: $159 – $209 (+$10)
  • EPCOT: $139 – $199 (+$5)
  • Disney’s Hollywood Studios: $149 – $204 (+$5)
  • Disney’s Animal Kingdom: $119 – $184 (+$5)

In 2026, the price of a standard 1-day Park Hopper ticket on the most expensive dates in November and December rises from $277 to $284. Keep in mind, prices per day decrease with multi-day tickets.


Annual Passes

Annual passes have increased by $20 to $80 each, depending on the tier. The highest-tier pass, the Incredi-Pass, has increased to $1,629, an $80 jump. Other passes like the Pirate Pass and Sorcerer Pass saw more moderate increases.

Food and Beverage

Menu prices across Walt Disney World restaurants have quietly increased as well:

These food increases apply resort-wide, including parks, hotels, and Disney Springs.
