Disney World Raises Annual Pass Prices Today: What Changes and What Doesn't
Walt Disney World raised all four Annual Pass prices today and added a $229 peak one-day price for Christmas Day and New Year's Eve 2027. Multiday tickets, parking and Multi Pass pricing stay put. Here's what it means for your trip.
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 lists the Incredi-Pass at $1,749, and the tickets page 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 prices tickets and every pass you're eligible for side by side, and the 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 covers the other ticket decision that moves the total.
