> **Quick Answer:** Walt Disney World raised all four Annual Pass prices today, by $10 to $120, and added a $229 peak one-day ticket for Christmas Day and New Year's Eve 2027\. Multiday tickets, parking and Lightning Lane Multi Pass prices are unchanged, so most ticket buyers feel nothing, and the pass-versus-tickets math moves only a little.

If you were about to buy a pass this week, the sticker just went up. If you were planning a normal multiday trip, your ticket price didn't move. Disney's [Annual Passes page](https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/passes/?ref=stackthemagic.com) lists the Incredi-Pass at $1,749, and the [tickets page](https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/admission/tickets/?ref=stackthemagic.com) still starts one-day tickets at $119, before tax.

## The new Annual Pass prices

| Pass         | Was    | Now    |
| ------------ | ------ | ------ |
| Pixie Dust   | $489   | $499   |
| Pirate       | $869   | $909   |
| Sorcerer     | $1,099 | $1,139 |
| Incredi-Pass | $1,629 | $1,749 |

Last Checked: October 6, 2026\. Prices are new-purchase prices before tax.

The Incredi-Pass takes the biggest jump, $120\. The Pixie Dust Pass moves $10.

## The peak day, park by park

The $229 doesn't land everywhere. On New Year's Eve 2027, one of the peak dates on Disney's ticket calendar, a one-day ticket costs:

| Park                       | 1-day ticket, Dec. 31, 2027 |
| -------------------------- | --------------------------- |
| Magic Kingdom              | $229                        |
| EPCOT                      | $229                        |
| Disney's Hollywood Studios | $214                        |
| Disney's Animal Kingdom    | $189                        |

Christmas Day is different: EPCOT shows $214 that day, so the peak price varies by date as well as by park. The Park Hopper option is $301 a ticket on Dec. 31 and Park Hopper Plus is $324.50, the same at all four parks, since only the base one-day price changes by park. At the other end, value dates still start at $119: on Aug. 17, 2027, Animal Kingdom is $119\. Prices are per ticket, before tax, as shown on Disney's ticket calendar on October 6, 2026.

## What didn't change

Multiday ticket prices are not going up. The lowest one-day price stays $119, and parking and Lightning Lane Multi Pass pricing are unchanged. The new $229 price is limited to Christmas Day and New Year's Eve 2027.

## So what should you do?

Because tickets held still while passes rose, passes got a bit harder to justify. Our take hasn't changed: it comes down to how many park days you'll spend at Disney in a year, which is break-even math, and for most casual out-of-state visitors a pass is unlikely to make sense. A pass makes sense when you'll visit enough days across the year that the extra cost per visit beats buying tickets each time, and a $10 to $120 bump moves that line by at most about one ticket day.

Take a one-week trip once a year, and you're still looking at a multiday ticket. Plan two or three separate trips, and it's worth running the numbers rather than guessing. Our [Annual Pass Calculator](https://www.stackthemagic.com/disney-annual-pass-calculator/) prices tickets and every pass you're eligible for side by side, and the [Park Ticket Calculator](https://www.stackthemagic.com/park-ticket-calculator/) shows the cheapest ticket for your group.

Two other tips. If you're eyeing Christmas week 2027, expect the highest one-day prices Disney has posted for 2027, up to $229, and weigh whether the days just before or after cost less. And if you're still deciding on add-ons, our [Park Hopper break-even post](https://www.stackthemagic.com/disney-world-park-hopper-worth-it-break-even-math/) covers the other ticket decision that moves the total.
