Disney World raises ticket, annual passes prices: Here's when, how much

Disney World ticket prices hit record highs amid rising costs

Visiting Walt Disney World just got more expensive. Disney has raised ticket and annual pass prices, with some reaching historic levels. One-day peak season tickets now top $200 for the first time, increasing to $209, while parking fees have risen from $30 to $35. Annual passes are also increasing in price, with hikes ranging from $20 to $80, depending on the type.

ORLANDO, Fla. - The cost for that Disney magic is going up. Walt Disney World has confirmed that it is raising prices on its theme park tickets, annual passes, and on some annual pass renewals.

Disney World previously implemented "dynamic pricing," which means daily tickets to its theme parks vary by theme park, day, and demand. That will continue. Beginning during the 2026 holiday season, Disney confirmed that the highest ticket price point – only on its busiest days – could top $200 per person for a one-park, one-day ticket.

Here is what we know.

How much are Walt Disney World tickets increasing?

According to a Disney spokesperson, individual theme park tickets will not increase until after October 2026. Disney sells its theme park tickets based on demand, theme park, and offers add-ons, like the park hopper, which allows people to visit more than one theme park within the day, and lightning lane, which allows people to get the its rides and attractions faster.

A one-day, one-park ticket varies by theme park:

• Disney's Animal Kingdom: $119-$174
• EPCOT: $129-$194

Disney said increases would begin after October 2026 and the highest of its price points would be around the major holidays, such as Thanksgiving and Christmas.

How much are Disney World annual passes increasing?

Annual passes are also going up. Disney World has four annual pass options: Pixie Dust Pass, Pirate Pass, Sorcerer Pass, and the Incredi-Pass (available to non-Florida residents). 

New annual passes would see an increase of $20-$80, a Disney spokesperson confirmed. 

As of Wednesday, Oct. 8, these were the current annual prices listed:

• Disney Incredi-Pass: $1,629

• Disney Pixie Dust Pass: $489
