Walt Disney World is raising some admission and annual pass prices, but Florida residents, military families and water park visitors still have ways to reduce the cost of a visit.
The lowest-priced one-day, one-park ticket remains $119, with availability and pricing depending on the park and date.
For peak holiday dates, however, costs are climbing. A one-day ticket to Magic Kingdom is scheduled to reach $229 on Christmas Day and New Year’s Eve in 2027, compared with $209 for those dates in 2026.
Annual passes have also increased, with price hikes ranging from $10 for the Pixie Dust Pass to $120 for the Incredi-Pass.
Three ways to pay less
1. Florida resident ticket discounts
Eligible Florida residents can save 40% on four-day tickets or 30% on three-day tickets under the offers listed in the source. These options can make a longer visit more affordable than buying separate daily tickets.
2. Military ticket offers
Eligible U.S. military members can choose from Disney’s Celebrates America Military Salute Ticket or four-, five- and six-day Military Salute tickets. Park Hopper and Park Hopper Plus options are available under the listed offers for 2026. Eligibility and restrictions apply.
3. A seasonal water park pass
Disney’s Water Park Seasonal Pass starts at $89 plus tax and is valid through May 15, 2027. Blockout dates apply from February 19–21 and March 20–28, 2027.
What should you choose?
If you live in Florida and plan to visit multiple times, compare the resident ticket offers with the cost of individual admissions. Military families should check eligibility for the dedicated discounts, while occasional visitors interested in water parks may find the seasonal pass worth considering.
Before purchasing, confirm the current price, eligible dates and restrictions directly with Disney. Ticket offers and availability can change.
The smarter take: Don’t assume the cheapest advertised ticket will be the cheapest option for your trip. Compare the dates you want, the number of days you’ll visit and any discounts you’re eligible to receive before paying.
