Once again the second week of October has brought higher prices on tickets and annual passports at Walt Disney World, and also at the Disneyland Resort in California.
For the first time, the most-expensive one-day ticket to the Magic Kingdom has topped $200, jumping from $199 to $209 in November, 2026. Annual passports went up about 5%, and fees for add-on options and parking all increased.
Unlike the California resort, where we can share the pricing structure with you in one, easy-to-digest chart, Walt Disney World uses a labyrinthine pricing structure, where the cost of a ticket is based on which park(s) you’ve visiting, how many days you’re staying, and what day you plan to first use your ticket. Without getting into 100 different pricing scenarios, we’re going to present the ranges you can expect to pay for your visit, based on ticket type.
Note: all pricing is for adult tickets, valid for ages 10 and older.
One-day, one-park ticket
As always, the Magic Kingdom is the most expensive park for a one-day ticket, and Animal Kingdom is the least expensive. The lowest prices in the range are available in August, 2026, with the highest prices showing up starting late October, 2026.
- Magic Kingdom – $154 to $209
- Hollywood Studios – $139 to $204
- Epcot – $129 to $199
- Animal Kingdom – $119 to $184
- One-day Park Hopper ticket – $201 to $284
- One-day Park Hopper Plus ticket – $237.50 to $307.50
- Memory Maker One-Day – $75 add-on
Multi-day tickets
Pricing for multi-day tickets is based on the number of days and the start date. A 10-day ticket with a start date of September 8, 2026 is cheaper at $656 than a 4-day ticket valid the week before Christmas, 2026.
Note that each ticket has a “Starting From” price. If you view the Walt Disney World ticket calculator, you’ll see that there are very few dates at that lowest price – in many cases only one or two in the year. August and September are the least-expensive times to visit; November and December have the highest prices.
- 2-day ticket – $256 to $386
- 3-day ticket – $384 to $567
- 4-day ticket – $492 to $724
- 5-day ticket – $535 to $816
- 6-day ticket – $564 to $871
- 7-day ticket – $581 to $907
- 8-day ticket – $624 to $940
- 9-day ticket – $639 to $948
- 10-day ticket – $660 to $970
Ticket Upgrades
To all multi-day tickets you can add the following options, with pricing based on the ticket length:
- Park Hopper Option – $95 to $105 per ticket
- Water Park and Sports – $70 per ticket, regardless of length
- Park Hopper Plus – $115 to $123 per ticket
- Memory Maker Advance Purchase – $185 per package
Water Park Tickets
I’ve yet to meet anyone who traveled to Walt Disney World and only purchased tickets to either Blizzard Beach or Typhoon Lagoon, but Disney does sell them. (Florida residents can often snag discounted rates for day trips). A one-day ticket to either water park is $74, which is probably useful only in determining if the Water Park and Sports add-on is worth it to you.
Annual Passes
Walt Disney World offers four tiers of annual passport, but unless you live in Florida or own a DVC membership you can only purchase one of them. Each passport varies in the number of blockout dates it has, and how many park reservations you can hold at one time.
- Incredi-Pass – $1629 (open to anyone)
- Sorcerer Pass – $1099 (Florida residents and DVC members only)
- Pirate Pass – $869 (Florida residents only)
- Pixie Dust Pass – $489 (Florida residents only)
