Single-Day Disney Ticket Now Costs This Much
Disney cited rising labor costs and park expansions for price hikes, with Lightning Lane passes reaching record highs and tickets surpassing $200 during peak times.
- On Oct. 8, The Walt Disney Company announced admission price hikes that took effect immediately at Walt Disney World Resort, Orlando, Florida, and Disneyland Resort, Anaheim, California.
- Disney officials said the hikes reflect rising labor and expansion costs, noting cast member wages have more than doubled since 2015 while the parks division generated $8.12 billion this year.
- Lightning Lane caps and ticket tiers rose, with Magic Kingdom multi-pass now capped at $45, peak one-day tickets hitting $209, and standard parking fees increasing to $35 per day.
- Disney parkgoers reacted angrily on social media after the announcements, with reports of frustration and warnings that the price hikes are the 'last straw' for many, while annual passes increased between $20 and $80, and a family of four could now pay nearly $900 for a busy-day visit.
- On Oct. 29, 2025, Lightning Lane prices will rise again, Disneyland’s Thanksgiving week Nov. 24–29 tickets reach $224, and a California Resident Park Hopper deal runs Jan. 1 through May 21, 2026.
