In 2023, Disney introduced park-specific pricing, meaning a ticket for Animal Kingdom varied based on the date and the specific park's demand. Generally, a 1-day, 1-park ticket for Disney's Animal Kingdom ranged from $109 to $159 per adult (ages 10+). Animal Kingdom was frequently the lowest-priced park compared to Magic Kingdom or Hollywood Studios on the same date. For example, during low-demand periods in late August or September, prices hovered around the $109–$124 mark, while peak holiday weeks in December saw prices hit the $159 ceiling. Children (ages 3–9) typically paid about $5 less than the adult price. These prices do not include the 6.5% Florida sales tax. If you added the "Park Hopper" option, which allowed you to visit other parks after 2:00 PM, the cost increased by approximately $60 to $85 depending on the season. It is also worth noting that in 2023, Disney still required park reservations in addition to a valid ticket for most guests, a policy that has since been simplified for date-based tickets in later years.
