How much does it cost to go to Epcot for a day?

EPCOT tickets cost between $114 and $179. Disney's Hollywood Studios tickets cost between $124 and $179. Disney's Animal Kingdom tickets cost between $109 and $159.



The cost of a one-day ticket to EPCOT at Walt Disney World is based on a date-based pricing system, meaning the price fluctuates depending on the expected crowd levels for the day you visit. As of 2026, a standard adult ticket (ages 10 and up) typically ranges from $119 to $189 per day. The lower end of the scale applies to "value" periods, such as weekdays in late August or September, while the $189 peak price is common during the busy Christmas and New Year's holiday weeks. Children aged 3 to 9 receive a slight discount, usually around $5 less than the adult price, and children under 3 enter for free. Beyond the ticket itself, you must factor in additional costs: standard parking is $30 per day, and the "Lightning Lane" (formerly Genie+) service, which allows you to skip lines, starts at $15 but can climb higher depending on demand. If you want to "Eat Your Way Around the World" at the World Showcase, a budget of $50 to $100 per person for food and drinks is realistic. While expensive, EPCOT offers a unique blend of high-tech attractions like Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind and cultural festivals that many travelers feel justify the premium price point for a single-day visit.
