A magical holiday at Disney World Resort next year could come with a very un-magical price tag.
Disney revealed its new 2027 ticket prices Tuesday. A one-day, one-park adult ticket will cost as much as $229 for the Magic Kingdom and Epcot in Orlando, Florida, on the most expensive dates - Christmas Day and New Year’s Eve 2027 - before tax.
That’s $20 more than the peak price for those dates in 2026. The company uses date-based pricing, so the cost of a ticket can change depending on when guests visit.
At Hollywood Studios, tickets will cost up to $214 from November 23-27, 2027, and again from December 24 through 31. Animal Kingdom tickets will reach $189 on those peak dates.
A one-day Disney World Park Hopper ticket - allowing guests to visit multiple parks on the same day - will cost $301, including tax, on Christmas Day and New Year’s Eve next year.
Ticket prices don’t include food, accommodation, transportation to the parks, merchandise or other extras.
The increases only apply to Disney World’s most popular dates, not the entire year. The cheapest one-day, one-park ticket will remain $119 at Animal Kingdom on select, lower-demand days. Traditionally, late August and September are among the cheapest times to visit, with January and February also offering lower prices.
Animal Kingdom remains the least expensive of Disney World's four theme parks, with one-day admission ranging from $119-$189 in 2027, before tax.
The new prices represent another increase for families already paying hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars for the Disney experience.
The company has also increased the price of its annual passes. The Incredi-Pass, the highest-tier annual pass which offers admission to Disney World Resort for one year with no blockout dates, costs $1,749, up from $1,629 in 2026.
The cheapest Pixie Dust Pass - only available to Florida residents - offers admission to all four parks and Park Hopper privileges, but with significant weekend and holiday blockout dates. That will be priced at $499 in 2027.
Eligible annual pass-holders can get a lower renewal price, but they must renew during their designated 90-day window to qualify.
Other paid add-ons have also become more expensive.
Disney World is not raising the price of Lightning Lane Multi Pass, which lets guests make reservations to skip the standby line at multiple attractions. However, the maximum price for Lightning Lane Single Pass, which lets guests skip the standby line for select individual attractions, will increase by $1 to $3.
The maximum price for Lightning Lane Premier Pass, Disney’s most expensive line-skipping option, will increase by $50. Unlike Multi Pass and Single Pass, Premier Pass lets guests use Lightning Lanes at eligible attractions without having to select return times.
Florida’s Disney World is preparing to open new experiences in 2027. These include Pueblo Esperanza, inspired by “Encanto” and located in the Tropical Americas at Animal Kingdom, and portions of Monstropolis from the “Monsters, Inc.” franchise at Hollywood Studios.
