HEADS UP! Thousands of Disney World Price Increases Are Likely Coming Soon

For the past several years, Disney World prices have increased around the same time every year — and we don’t expect this year to be any different.

It’s not just park tickets that increase in price, either. We typically see price hikes on everything from park tickets to Annual Passes, and from restaurant prices to popular snacks as well. Recently, these price increases have been announced in October, and we’re anxiously anticipating them to arrive within the coming weeks. Here’s everything you need to know so that you can be prepared when planning your 2027 Disney World trip.

October will be here any day now, and that likely means that Disney World price increases will be, too, if history is to repeat itself. We’ve seen price hikes hit in October for the past few years, and each year it hurts just a little more than the last. It’s no secret that planning a Disney vacation is expensive, but hopefully if you’re prepared ahead of time, you can still plan your perfect trip (with our help, of course!).

Annual Pass prices are likely to increase, as they have in past years. 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, the 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. Given that precedent, it seems likely that we can expect increases anywhere from the $20 to $100 range depending on the pass level.

Disney World tickets aren’t likely to increase this time around — at least not yet. Back in April 2026, Disney released prices for 2027 tickets, and we saw increases there as well.

In 2026, the starting prices for tickets were between $119 and $169. In 2027, the lowest end of the range will remain the same, at $119 per ticket. However, the highest end of the range has increased from $169 to $219.

Parking at Disney World may also increase, though we’re hoping that’s not the case, as it, too, is quite expensive already:

  • Standard parking: car or motorcycle – $35 per day
  • Preferred parking: car or motorcycle – $50, $55 or $60 per day (pricing is seasonal)
  • Oversized Vehicle Parking: Shuttle, Limo, Camper Trailer, RV, Bus or Tractor Trailer – $40 per day

Keep in mind that Standard parking is included for Disney World hotel guests and select Annual Passholders.

Memory Maker — Disney’s PhotoPass add-on — may increase, along with special tours at Disney World and Fireworks Dining or Dessert Parties.

Speaking of dining, we’ve also seen prix fixe menu prices increase in past years, and common snacks like DOLE Whip, Mickey Pretzels, and even sodas have gone up in price.

This is a classic!

For those Refillable Mug loyalists, unfortunately, we might also see price increases on those as well.
