**Disney Parks Hike Ticket Prices Amid High Demand**
**Orlando, FL -** (October 8, 2025) – Get ready to pay more for that magical experience. Disney announced today that admission prices are increasing at both Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida, and Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California, effective immediately.
According to a statement from Disney, single-day tickets on the busiest days of the year will now reach approximately $224 – a significant jump from previous prices. The hike is particularly noticeable during peak periods like Thanksgiving week (November 24-29) and the holiday season (December 20 – January 3), where Disneyland entry will surge to $224.
The price adjustments extend beyond single-day tickets. Disneyland Resort is also raising prices on several of its Magic Key Passes, its tiered annual pass system. The most expensive “Inspire” and “Believe” Magic Key Passes will see increases of $150 and $100, respectively, now costing $1,899 and $1,474.
However, not all prices are going up. The lowest-priced Disneyland ticket will remain unchanged at $104, and the “Enchant” and “Imagine” passes will also retain their current pricing. At Walt Disney World, the lowest and highest priced single day tickets remain unchanged through October of 2026.
Disney officials justified the price increases by emphasizing the company’s commitment to providing diverse experiences for all budgets and pointed to continued strong demand. “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. Our commitment to creating magical experiences for everyone remains at the heart of what we do — and that will never change,” they stated.
The move comes as the company navigates balancing increased costs with maintaining its reputation for family-friendly experiences. Whether consumers will continue to flock to the parks despite the higher prices remains to be seen.
