Annual traditions have long been a major part of the Disney World experience. The EPCOT Food & Wine Festival, Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, The Candlelight Processional… the list of beloved seasonal offerings goes on and on. However, there’s a recent Disney annual “tradition” that fans have begun to dread: Price hikes.
Disney World Annual Pass
Over the last several years, price increases — including for Disney World Annual Passes — have hit the resort each October, and they could be coming back again this year.
While we don’t have confirmation or specific numbers for 2026, we can extrapolate from recent years. In 2025, Disney raised Annual Pass tiers to the following levels:
- Disney Incredi-Pass — $1,629, up from $1,549 in 2024
- Disney Sorcerer Pass — $1,099, up from $1,079 in 2024
- Disney Pirate Pass — $869, up from $829 in 2024
- Disney Pixie Dust Pass — $489, up from $469 in 2024
That follows an overall pattern that has seen all four tiers increase each year. Since 2022, 5he Incredi-Pass is up $230, the Sorcerer Pass is up $130, the Pirate Pass is up $120, and the Pixie Dust Pass is up $90.
Annual Passholder price increases
Given that precedent, it seems likely that we can expect increases anywhere from the $20 to $100 range depending on the pass level.
AP Magnets!
Of course, Annual Pass prices weren’t the only ones to go up last October, as Disney’s single-day, depending-on-day park admissions also went up last year, rising to:
- Disney’s Animal Kingdom — $119-$174
- Disney’s Hollywood Studios — $139-$194
- EPCOT — $129-$194
- Magic Kingdom — $144-$199
We would anticipate those prices going up this year as well, though the lowest price will likely remain the same.
