Disney World raises the price of tickets for the first-time since 2019

DISNEY World has increased its prices for the third time in three years. The company confirmed this.

The price increase won’t have any impact on Disney’s Animal Kingdom, Florida. However, it will affect all other parks in 2023.

On average, prices rose between $3 (£2.50) to $15 (£12) per guest per day.

The most affordable ticket in May 2022 was $124 (£104). From December 8, the new cheapest ticket in that month will be $139 (£116).

Tickets for EPCOT will range between $114 (£95) and $179 (£150), while Hollywood Studios will sit between $124 (£104) and $179 (£150).

Magic Kingdom tickets will be slightly higher too – depending on how busy the day is, they’ll set you back between $124 (£104) and $189 (£159).

Disney stated in a statement that: “Magic Kingdom Park will be priced at or above our other theme parks due to the incredible demand as it remains the most-visited theme park in the world.”

Annual passes alongside Park Hopper and Park Hopper Plus pricing is set to rise for all parks besides Animal Kingdom, which will cost between $109 (£91) to $159 (£133) to visit.

Multi-day base tickets also rose, with a five-day base ticket now costing $482.52 (£406). This is $20.96 (£17) more than the previous year.

But the 10-day base ticket saw the biggest rise which will set you back an extra $28.40 (£23) at $582.09 (£489) for the 10 days.

Annual passes are also increasing in popularity. While new sales have been paused, a Pirate Pass will jump from $699 (£588) to $749 (£630), while the Sorcerer Pass is now $969 (£815) from $899 (£756). Meanwhile, the Incedi-Pass will cost $1399 (£1177), up from $1299 (£1093).

Prices are just one of the many changes that guests can expect from Disney parks.

Customers will not need to make reservations for the parks. They will be taken care of automatically.

You will need to reserve multi-day tickets.

Cancellations can be made up to 24 hours in advance and will not incur a penalty.
