Disney Raises Theme Park Prices; Here's What Disneyland and Disney World Now Cost.

It’s that time of year again: Disney just raised prices for its theme parks, something it does pretty much once a year. They revealed the new prices for Disneyland and Walt Disney World yesterday, and although they aren’t as steep or comprehensive as some price increases have been in the past, there are still some eye-popping dollar amounts involved. Not every type of ticket was raised this year—the cheapest ticket for Disneyland remains $104, for instance—but odds are if you’re headed to the parks over the next 12 months you’ll be impacted to some extent.

Let’s run ’em down. If you haven’t been to a Disney park in a while, they long ago replaced a standard daily ticket price with a flexible pricing strategy that sees high demand days like weekends, holidays, and summers cost more than, say, a Tuesday in late January. Disneyland has seven tiers of pricing, and as I already mentioned that lowest tier, Tier 0, remains steady at $104. (That’s for one park, one day admission, and has limited dates, although the 40 or so Tier 0 days currently scheduled through April is noticeably more than in 2024 and early 2025.) Every other tier saw an increase of up to 4.9%, most of them smaller than the most recent price increase in 2024. The highest price you could potentially pay for a single-day, non-park hopper ticket at Disneyland Resort is now $224—which is $125 more than the highest ticket would’ve cost in 2015, the last year before they introduced flexible pricing.

Here’s how the seven tiers break down. These are, again, for a single day’s admission to one of Disneyland Resort’s two theme parks. The previous price is listed in parentheses.

Tier 0: $104 ($104)
Tier 1: $129 ($126)
Tier 2: $149 ($142)
Tier 3: $169 ($164)
Tier 4: $184 ($180)
Tier 5: $199 ($196)
Tier 6: $224 ($206)

The biggest jump by far is for Tier 6; four of the other six tiers only increase by between $3 and $5, while Tier 2 gets a $7 jump. These prices are for either Disneyland Park or Disney California Adventure; as always a park hopper ticket, which gets you access to both parks in the same day, will cost more, with exact pricing depending on the day. The longer your trip the less you’ll be paying per day to enter the parks; the longest ticket you can book, which gets you five days in the parks with park hopper access, will now cost $655, up a touch from its previous price of $616.

The price jump has impacted two of Disneyland’s four Annual Pass plans (which Disney calls Magic Keys). The two cheaper Magic Key plans are unaffected; both the Imagine and Enchant keys are staying the same price in 2026. The higher-end options, though, are going up. The Believe Key has been raised $100 to a new rate of $1474, whereas the most expensive and comprehensive plan, the Inspire Key, gets a $150 boost to $1899.

And to cap off the new Disneyland rates, all parking has gone up $5. It’s now $40 for a car or motorcycle to park at a Disneyland lot, $45 for an oversized vehicle, $50 for a bus, and $60 for preferred parking.

Over in Florida, the most expensive ticket for Walt Disney World parks has finally passed the $200 barrier. On peak days, a single day’s admission to one park will cost $209. That’s $104 more than it would’ve cost in 2015, so just one buck under doubling in a decade. Of course that’s on the busiest possible days—think Christmas or New Year’s. Beyond those days, one-day, one-park Disney World tickets will cost between $119 and $199, depending on the park and the day. Most tickets will cost about $5 more than they would’ve.

Meanwhile all tiers of Annual Passes to Disney World have increased. The Incredi-Pass, the only one available to guests who don’t live in Florida or aren’t members of the Disney Vacation Club (and the only one without any blockout dates), sees the biggest raise, now costing $80 more. Again, the first number is the new price, and the one in parentheses is the previous price.

The Pixie Dust Pass: $489 ($469)
The Pirate Pass: $869 ($829)
The Sorcerer Pass: $1099 ($1079)
The Incredi-Pass: $1629 ($1549)

Parking is also going up $5, with the standard price now coming in at $35.

Finally, Lightning Lane Multi Pass—the upcharge program that lets you book a handful of fast passes per trip—will cost more at both resorts, with a $2 raise to $34 at Disneyland Resort, and the Disney World Multi Pass (which, like admission, is flexible depending on the day and season) now peaking at $45—$6 more than the previous high.

If you haven’t been to a Disney park in a good while, these numbers might make your eyes bug out. It’s true that Disney theme park tickets are very high dollar items now. This year’s increases are actually smaller than usual, though. And as always they have various deals and discounts for both Disneyland and Disney World. Old-timers like me can grouse all we want about how much more affordable and accessible the parks were 20 or 40 years ago, but what’s the use? Those days are gone and are never coming back.
