A Disney vacation is going to cost a fair bit more starting in 2025.
Disney has opened up ticket sales through October of next year and the price of its least expensive ticket has jumped from $109 to $119 for one day at one park. That’s the first time that ticket has seen a price increase since 2018.
To be clear, anyone who’s planning to go this year won’t pay the higher rate. Ticket prices for 2024 are already locked in. And the $119 ticket price is only for Animal Kingdom, which sees less traffic than other Disney Orlando properties. Tickets to the Magic Kingdom, Epcot or Hollywood Studios will cost even more, with the highest Magic Kingdom price hitting $189.
Prices could go even higher before 2025 is out. November and December are the most popular months at the park and often see price surges. Those tickets are not yet on sale.
The price hikes for 2025 come as Universal Orlando prepares to open a major expansion next year. “Epic Universe” could provide additional competition for Disney’s Florida parks. Traffic to the four parks has been incredibly strong for the past several years, however, which could have factored into Disney’s decision to increase prices.
One-day tickets are also the least popular passes at the parks. Typically, people who journey to the destination stay for several days
Perhaps to appeal to them, Disney also announced a new perk for people who stay at its on-site hotels, allowing guests free entry to its Typhoon Lagoon or Blizzard Beach water parks on they day they check-in.
The announcements come four months after Disney increased the price of its theme park’s annual passes by $30 to $50.
