Looking to visit Walt Disney World next year? You might want to consider buying your tickets now, because Disney has just announced another round of ticket increases for its theme parks for visits starting in November 2025.

Plus, starting immediately, anyone interested in a new annual pass will need to pay up to $100 more than last year’s prices.

This is not the first (and certainly won’t be the last) price increase we have seen from Disney, so it shouldn’t surprise many people.

Let’s dig into the details.

Disney World Increases Ticket Prices

Price increases and Walt Disney Disney World have gone hand in hand recently. With strong attendance and multiple park expansions planned, supply and demand 101 can be found in Orlando, Florida. Disneyland Park and Disneyland California Adventure Park increased prices overnight, and we’ve also seen snacks and parking costs jump up.

At least guests heading to Magic Kingdom on a 1-day ticket have a bit of a heads-up to help with planning.

One-Day Tickets

Starting in November 2025, guests visiting Walt Disney World with a 1-day, 1-park ticket can expect to pay about 6% more.

Prices vary by date, but guests should plan on paying about $10 more to enter the parks on any given day.

Admission at each park will range between:

  • Disney’s Animal Kingdom: $119 to $174
  • EPCOT: $129 to $194
  • Disney’s Hollywood Studios: $139 to $194
  • Magic Kingdom: $139 to $199

The more expensive dates are often around holidays and special events, such as Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party at Magic Kingdom.

Annual Passes

Guests looking for an annual pass did not get the luxury of an 11-month heads-up.

Effective immediately, Disney has updated the pricing on all 4 tiers of passes, with increases ranging from $30 to $100.

New annual passes now cost:

  • Pixie Dust Pass: $469 (was $439)
  • Pirate Pass: $829 (was $799)
  • Sorcerer Pass: $1,079 (was $999)
  • Incredi-Pass: $1,549 (was $1,449)

Annual pass renewals now cost:

  • Pixie Dust Pass: $399 (was $369)
  • Pirate Pass: $709 (was $679)
  • Sorcerer Pass: $929 (was $849)
  • Incredi-Pass: $1,299 (was $1,229)

How To Save Money on a Disney World Vacation

It’s becoming difficult to pull off an affordable vacation to Walt Disney World, and these increased ticket prices aren’t helping. Still, there are a few different tricks you can use to help save money if you’re looking to head to Florida anytime soon.

First, consider using points and miles for both flights and accommodations during your stay. Orlando is rife with chain hotels, making it very easy to redeem points for a stay. If you’re intent on staying at a Disney resort, book via the Capital One Travel portal and use your Capital One miles to redeem against the purchase (within 90 days).

You can also find deals on theme park tickets with third-party websites like Undercover Tourist. Although the savings aren’t huge, the site does offer a cheaper price than you’ll find at Disney. Otherwise, visit your local Sam’s Club to find discounted Disney gift cards. You can then use these to pay for your theme park tickets. Target also offers the ability to receive a 5% discount on Disney gift cards for those who hold Target debit and credit cards.

Hot Tip:

Final Thoughts

A trip to Disney has never been cheap, but it is getting prohibitively expensive for many.

Those looking for an annual pass may now need to pay up to $100 more for the same pass, while guests visiting for just 1 day should expect to pay about $10 more starting in November 2025.
