A trip to see Mickey and Minnie could help make memories to last a lifetime – but also leave a lasting impression on your wallet.
That’s because Walt Disney World in Orlando announced significant price increases for single-day tickets, annual passes, and even some annual pass renewals.
Starting after October 2026, the average price for a single-day admission ticket at Disney World will now be about $5 more, though Animal Kingdom’s lowest-priced single-day ticket will stay at $119.
Disney also expects holiday ticket prices around Thanksgiving and Christmas 2026 to surpass $200 per person for the first time.

A company spokesperson cited continued strong demand around the holidays, noting they had to pause sales for Magic Kingdom on New Year’s Eve due to high interest.
Once the changes take effect, the price of a one-day, one-park ticket will be:
- Disney’s Animal Kingdom: $119 to $174
- EPCOT: $129 to $194
- Disney’s Hollywood Studios: $139 to $194
- Magic Kingdom: $139 to $199
These prices reflect Disney’s dynamic pricing model, where ticket costs fluctuate based on demand, park and day.
New annual passes will see an increase of $20 to $80, depending on the pass type.
Renewals for the Incredi-Pass and Pirate Pass will increase by $40 to $80, while renewals for the Sorcerer and Pixie Dust passes will not see a price increase.
At the time of publication, the cost of each annual pass are as follows:
- Disney Incredi-Pass: $1,629
- Disney Sorcerer Pass: $1,099
- Disney Pirate Pass: $869
- Disney Pixie Dust Pass: $489
These price hikes come as Disney continues to invest in park enhancements, including major refurbishments and new zones inspired by popular franchises such as Muppets, Frozen, and Zootopia.
A Disney spokesperson told The Independent in a statement: “Disney Parks offer a full day of experiences each day, with ticket, hotel, and dining options designed to suit a wide range of needs and budgets for all who visit. Our commitment to creating magical experiences for everyone remains at the heart of what we do — and that will never change.”
Last week, Disney World announced new 2026 discounts for hotel rooms and park tickets, which can be combined with the Kid’s Dine Free offer for added savings.
Prices at Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California, will also go up next year, although it’s implementing the smallest ticket price increases in years, with five of its seven ticket tiers rising by 3 percent or less, according to a company spokesperson.
The lowest Disneyland ticket price will stay at $104, a rate unchanged for seven years, even as employee wages have more than doubled during that time, the company said.
They also noted that there will be 32 days in the next six months when tickets will cost $104 and added that only the top two Magic Key passes, Inspire and Believe, will increase in price, while the Enchant and Imagine passes will stay the same.
