As it does each year, Disney has increased ticket prices for its two big U.S. theme parks, Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando and Disneyland Resort in Anaheim.
Under the new pricing, announced Oct. 8, tickets for a one-day, single-park visit to Disney World or Disneyland will now cost — for the first time — more than $200 during peak times. For example, the single-day, single-park ticket during the weeks of Christmas and New Year’s will increase 5% in Orlando to $209 and up 8.7% for Disneyland to $224. Disney says it continues to see strong demand during the holiday periods; in fact, it recently paused sales on one-day, one-park tickets to Magic Kingdom for this upcoming New Year’s Eve due to expected demand.
Most other Disney World single-day, single-park tickets have increased by about an average of $5, while Animal Kingdom park’s least-expensive single-day ticket will remain $119. Disneyland kept its lowest-priced ticket for its slower season at $104 per day; it’s worth noting that the Disney parks’ starting and high-end prices for tickets on sale through October 2026 remain unchanged. Meanwhile, there’s a new discount offering Disney World guests up to $250 off each night of a minimum four-night, room-and-ticket package for most stays from late February to late July 2026.
In a statement to Variety, a company rep said, “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.”

The steepest increases are on Disneyland’s top-tier tickets, with the Tier 6 one-day pass — the ticket that is purchased on the highest-demand days — jumping $18 to $224 per adult. The five-day Park Hopper, which lets visitors enter Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure on the same day for up to five consecutive days, climbed $39 to $655. In addition, Disney increased the pricing on annual passes: Disneyland’s higest-tier annual pass, the Inspire Key, went up by $150 to $1,899, and the Believe Key, the second-highest tier pass, went up $100 to $1,474 (while the Enchant and Imagine passes remain at the same prices, $974 and $599 respectively). Disneyland’s Lightning Lane Multi Pass, the park’s paid skip-the-line service, increased 6.25% to $34.
Parking fees climbed $5, from $30 to $35 for both standard and preferred options.
On the Disneyland Resort price increases, overall, the company says they are the lowest price increases in several years. Of the seven ticket tiers, five of them are increasing 3% or less. According to the Disneyland.com calendar, in the next six months there are 32 days with standard theme park tickets at $104.
