Did Disney have a price increase?

Disney Plus without ads, previously $11 per month or $110 per year, now costs $14 per month or $140 annually. The monthly price of Disney Plus and Hulu's ad-based tiers, as well as the annual price of ad-based Hulu, didn't change.



Yes, Disney has implemented significant price increases for 2026 across its parks and services. At Walt Disney World, base tickets for peak holiday periods have reached a record high of $209 per day for the Magic Kingdom. Beyond the gate, the layering effect of costs is more pronounced this year; the Incredi-Pass (for non-Florida residents) rose to $1,629, and line-skipping services have hit new peaks, with the Lightning Lane Multi Pass climbing to $45 during busy surges. Even the Disney Dining Plan has increased, with the Standard plan now costing nearly $99 per adult per night. These hikes are part of a broader strategy to lean into pricing power while the parks undergo major transitional construction projects, making a 2026 visit one of the most expensive in the history of the Walt Disney Company.
