Disney World 2026 One-Day Ticket Prices Announced: Here's What You'll Pay to Visit Each Park

Walt Disney World has released one-day, one-park ticket pricing for visits between January 1 and October 31, 2026. The updated pricing continues the resort’s demand-based model, with Magic Kingdom remaining the most expensive park—topping out at $199 on peak dates, just as it did in 2025.

2026 One-Day Walt Disney World Ticket Price Ranges

The new ticket prices vary by park:

  • Magic Kingdom: $139 to $199
  • EPCOT: $129 to $184
  • Disney’s Hollywood Studios: $139 to $194
  • Disney’s Animal Kingdom: $119 to $179

How 2026 Compares to 2025

Pricing in early 2026 closely aligns with what guests saw in 2025, with a few small shifts. Magic Kingdom’s maximum price remains unchanged at $199, but its lowest price has decreased slightly from $144 to $139. EPCOT’s high end drops from $194 in 2025 to $184 in 2026. Hollywood Studios sees no change in its range. Animal Kingdom’s top price increases slightly from $174 to $179.

When Prices Are Highest and Lowest

The most expensive ticket dates currently available fall in late March 2026, which aligns with the busy Spring Break and Easter travel period. The lowest prices are available in August and September, a stretch that typically sees fewer visitors due to hot weather and the start of the school year.

Multi-Day Tickets Offer Better Value Than Single-Day Admission

While one-day ticket prices continue to reflect peak demand, better value is often found with multi-day tickets. Per-day costs decrease significantly as you add more days to your visit, making multi-day tickets a more cost-effective option for most guests. For example, a four-day ticket spreads the total cost across multiple park visits, often bringing the average daily price well below the peak rates of single-day admission. This structure encourages longer stays and offers greater flexibility for guests looking to experience more of what Walt Disney World has to offer without paying top-tier prices every day.

Holiday Pricing Not Yet Released

Disney has not yet shared pricing for November and December 2026, including the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays. These dates are typically the most expensive of the year, and it remains to be seen whether ticket prices—especially at Magic Kingdom—will rise beyond the current $199 peak.

    My sister works at a school that excuses Disney absences as long as the family goes to EPCOT because it’s considered an educational trip at that point.

    Funny thing...Technically, Rare Earth Minerals are not actually rare (scarce). They are just difficult ($) to extract. (sorry for the off topic aside.)

    Both REM and the total hourly capacity at WDW theme parks are finite, non-renewable resources.

    As time t approaches infinity, the cost of a day ticket to the Magic Kingdom approaches the cost of all rare earth metals in the universe.

    But at that point…the pricing would have collapsed the market…so nothing is being “made”

    It's more limited hours than ride limit that makes DAK overpriced for me. DAK 2017/2019ish with evening program was one of the finest theme parks in the world.

    One day at MK during Christmas week with LLPP is over $600/person.

    Can u imagine when it gets to $400/day? I'll bet its less than 10 years away.

    I remember a few years ago when I joined this forum and people were talking about how at some point Disney was going to break the $100/day barrier (back then it was same price all parks). That second hundred came in real quick....
