It’s that time of year.
No, not Halloween. It’s time for the Disney parks’ annual October ticket price increases.
A Disney spokesperson told Deadline that, although prices are changing, the parks’ commitment to “magic” has not.
“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,” the statement reads. “Our commitment to creating magical experiences for everyone remains at the heart of what we do — and that will never change.”
With that, below is a breakdown of the changes at both U.S. parks.
Disneyland
The good news is that Disneyland‘s least expensive single-day ticket is still $104. That rate has remained unchanged for the past three years.
The catch is that — with Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas looming — the days visitors can use those tickets are extremely limited. There are just eight opportunities to do so before the end of the year. (That’s up from just five days last year.) See 2025 calendar below.
It gets a bit better in the first four months of next year, with 24 of the lowest-priced $104 days from which guests can choose .
The most expensive single-day ticket offering the greatest choice of date and amenities now costs $224. That’s up from $206 last year, an 8.74% increase.
Single-day tickets for most other days have risen between 1.5% and 4.8%. Across the board, these are some of the lowest price increases in years, with five tiers increasing 3% or less.
For comparison, the Consumer Price Index over the last 12 months increased 2.9% percent before seasonal adjustment.
Park hopper add-ons, which allow a guest to visit both Disneyland and California Adventure on the same day, increased to between $70 and $90 per day, up from $65 to $75.
Given that half the park’s visitors in 2024 were locals, Disneyland also announced a new three-day park hopper offer for California residents. It can be used on consecutive or non-consecutive days. Those tickets are priced between $249 and $351. They go on sale Dec. 3, 2025, for visits between Jan. 1 and May 21, 2026.
Some annual passes got more expensive. The Inspire pass — which offers the most year-round access and highest merchandise and dining discounts — rose $150 to $1,899. The Believe key went up $100 to $1,474.
Prices for the park’s two lowest tier annual packages, the Enchant and Imagine passes, remained the same.
Standard parking also got more expensive, increasing from $35 to $40.
Walt Disney World
Walt Disney World is seeing high demand for the holidays. The lowest priced single-day ticket for the Magic Kingdom remains $119. Two years ago, those tickets cost $109.
Unfortunately, the high demand means there are no days before the end of the year on which the lowest priced single-day tickets can be used. In fact, the first opportunity listed on the park’s 2026 calendar is 10 months away, on August 18.
The peak single-day ticket for holiday dates top out at $199 in 2025. In November and December of 2026, however, that price point will jump 10% to $209/day. It’s the first time a single-day ticket will cost more than $200.
Single-day tickets to Walt Disney World’s four other parks range as follows: Disney’s Animal Kingdom between $119-$174, EPCOT between $129-$194 and Disney’s Hollywood Studios runs between $139-$194.
Annual pass prices for WDW are increasing between $20 to $80 more, depending on the type of pass.
See below for a breakdown of each annual pass, its cost, its restrictions and the privileges it provides.
