Did Disneyland prices just go up?

Disneyland's prices are increasing by about 9% for regular tickets while the up to 10% increase at Walt Disney World applies to annual passes. Walt Disney World changes, according to Bloomberg: Annual passes: increase up to $50. New purchases of the Incredi-pass cost $1,449, USA Today reported.



Disneyland prices have followed a consistent upward trend, with annual increases typically occurring in the fall (October). In late 2025 and into 2026, Disney adjusted its multi-day ticket prices and Magic Key (annual pass) rates upward by roughly 6% to 10% to account for inflation and the opening of new expansions. Disney now uses a "tiered" pricing system for single-day tickets, where a ticket for a "slow" Tuesday in February is significantly cheaper than a ticket for a Saturday in mid-July. This dynamic pricing is designed to distribute crowds more evenly throughout the year. Additionally, the cost of the "Lightning Lane Multi Pass" is also dynamic and can increase on high-demand days. While these price hikes are often met with frustration from the fan community, demand remains at record highs, allowing Disney to maintain its premium pricing strategy. If you are planning a trip, the best way to lock in "older" prices is to purchase your tickets through a reputable authorized third-party seller before the next scheduled increase, as those tickets are typically honored for their full validity period.
