It’s that time of year again—not for Halloween festivities, but for the annual ticket price increases at Disney parks. A spokesperson for Disney stated that despite these changes, the parks remain dedicated to delivering magical experiences.
Disney Parks emphasized their range of ticket, hotel, and dining options that cater to various budgets, assuring guests that their commitment to enchantment is steadfast.
At Disneyland, the lowest price for a single-day ticket holds at $104, a figure that has not fluctuated in the past three years. However, the limited availability of this ticket—only eight days remaining for use in 2025 before year’s end—means visitors must act quickly, although this reflects an increase from just five days the previous year. In early 2026, guests will have 24 opportunities to use the low-priced tickets.
The maximum single-day ticket offering, which allows guests the most flexibility in date selection, has risen from $206 to $224, marking an 8.74% increase. Most other single-day ticket prices have increased between 1.5% and 4.8%, representing some of the smallest price hikes seen in recent years, especially when compared to the 2.9% rise in the Consumer Price Index.
Park hopper options, which enable guests to visit both Disneyland and California Adventure on the same day, have also seen an increase, now priced between $70 and $90, up from $65 to $75. Additionally, Disneyland has introduced a new three-day park hopper offer for California residents, available for use on consecutive or non-consecutive days, priced between $249 and $351.
Annual pass prices have seen rises as well, with the Inspire pass increasing by $150 to $1,899, while the Believe key is up $100 to $1,474. The Enchant and Imagine passes, however, maintain their current pricing. Standard parking fees at Disneyland have also gone up from $35 to $40.
At Walt Disney World, the situation is similar, particularly during peak holiday demand. The lowest-priced ticket for the Magic Kingdom remains at $119, a rise from $109 two years ago, with no available days on the calendar for the remainder of the year. The peak price for holiday dates in 2025 will see a substantial jump to $199, and in November and December of 2026, the cost will exceed $200 a day for the first time.
Tickets for Walt Disney World’s remaining parks vary in price, with Disney’s Animal Kingdom tickets ranging from $119 to $174, EPCOT from $129 to $194, and Disney’s Hollywood Studios prices between $139 and $194. Furthermore, annual pass prices at Walt Disney World have risen between $20 to $80 based on the type of pass.
Despite these price adjustments, the underlying message from Disney remains one of commitment to providing memorable experiences and ensuring that guests of all backgrounds can partake in the magic of their parks.
