Walt Disney World raised admission prices for day visitors, annual passholders and the three Lightning Lane add-on options. These changes went into effect October 6, 2026, and applies to tickets through December 31, 2027.
Theme Park Tickets
Walt Disney World sells date-based tickets, which vary in price depending on your travel dates, how long you are staying and which park(s) you are visiting. The cost of a base one-day, one-park ticket remains at $119 for the lowest-tier days, which are select weekdays in August and September, 2027.
The new top ticket price is $229 for peak days at the Magic Kingdom and EPCOT, an increase of $10. Disney’s Hollywood Studios tickets now top out at $214 (a $5 increase), and Animal Kingdom is also up $5 to $189.
Annual Passes
Disney also raised the cost of all four Annual Pass tiers, as follows:
- Incredi-Pass: $1,749 (up from $1,629). Renewals are $1,499.
- Sorcerer Pass: $1,139 (up from $1,099). Renewals are $969.
- Pirate Pass: $909 (up from $869). Renewals are $789.
- Pixie Dust Pass: $499 (up from $489). Renewals are $419.
It will cost more to skip the line using the Lightning Lane service, though these prices vary by theme park and date, and are always subject to change based on demand. For the dates currently available, Lightning Lane Multi Pass upgrades range from $17 for a slow Tuesday at Animal Kingdom, to $39 for a Saturday at Magic Kingdom.
Lightning Lane
There were also minor changes to the Lightning Lane Single Pass. All prices below are for October, 2026:
- Seven Dwarfs Mine Train: $13-$15
- TRON Lightcycle Run: $21-23
- Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind: $21-22
- Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance: $24-25
- Avatar Flight of Passage: $17-19
The top price of the Lightning Lane Premier Pass also increased by $50, topping out at $499. You can book this for as low as $159 for a weekday at Animal Kingdom, but a Magic Kingdom Saturday will be much more expensive.

There was no announced increase on parking this time around.
