Walt Disney World is raising the range of prices for some of its single-day, single-park tickets at Magic Kingdom, Epcot, and Hollywood Studios in Orlando, FL ~ Janet H. Cho
Families will have to splurge more for their Walt Disney World vacations starting December 8, 2022, because some single-day, single-park ticket prices at Disney’s Magic Kingdom, Epcot, and Hollywood Studios in Orlando could cost as much as $189 a person during the nine-day peak period around Christmas and New Year’s Day.
- Single-day ticket prices to Disney’s Magic Kingdom Park are increasing to between $124 and $189 a person. The $189 ticket price is specifically for that peak holiday season around Christmas and the new year, and not all year, the Disney spokesperson told Barron’s.
- Single-day tickets to Disney’s Animal Kingdom are staying at the current $109 to $159 range for visitors ages 10 and up.
- Single-day tickets to Epcot are increasing to a range of $114 to $179; and
- Single-day tickets to Hollywood Studios are increasing to $124 to $179.
- Instead of the current system, which lets visitors make their theme park reservations only after buying their tickets, the new single-day tickets automatically include theme park reservations. The price of the Park Hopper option that lets people visit a second park the same day for $65 more is also changing.
What’s Next: Except for renewals by current annual pass holders, Disney has paused new sales of all but its Pixie Dust annual passes, available to FL residents only, which are staying at $399 a person. It is raising the price of its other annual passes, including the Incredi-Pass, which is going up to $1,399.
Under a separate program, discounted multiday tickets for active or retired members of the U.S. military, their families and friends, are increasing by $20 to $369 plus tax a person for the five-day ticket package plus Park Hopper, or $349 plus tax a person for the four-day package.
Disney also added more blackout dates when military tickets aren’t eligible, including around Christmas and New Year’s this year, and around spring break and Thanksgiving next year.
