How much is a 1 day ticket to Animal Kingdom?

Disney advertises single-day tickets starting at $109, but that's only at Animal Kingdom. The lowest price you'll find here is $129, and the highest is $189. In the past, weekends were more expensive than weekdays.



For 2026, the price of a 1-day, 1-park ticket to Disney's Animal Kingdom varies based on the date of your visit due to Disney's date-based pricing model. On low-demand weekdays, prices start at approximately $119 per adult (ages 10+). However, during peak periods such as spring break, summer holidays, or the December festive season, the price can climb as high as $182 or more. It is worth noting that Animal Kingdom is typically the least expensive of the four Walt Disney World theme parks; for comparison, Magic Kingdom often starts at a higher base price. These prices do not include Florida's 6.5% sales tax. To get the best rate, you should check the official Disney World website's pricing calendar well in advance. If you plan to visit multiple parks in one day, you would need to add the "Park Hopper" option, which adds an additional fee of roughly $65 to $85 to the base ticket price. Parking is also an additional daily cost unless you are staying at a Disney Resort hotel, where standard theme park parking is included as a benefit of your stay.
