Walt Disney World recently unveiled its ticket pricing and vacation packages for 2026. With details now available for travel dates from January through October, visitors can plan their magical vacations further in advance. Notably, this year brings some rare adjustments to pricing, marking a shift in the structure for certain ticket options. Here’s everything you need to know about the latest updates.
An Overview of 2026 Ticket Prices
Price Changes for Single-Day Tickets
For 2026, single-day ticket pricing for Walt Disney World’s four theme parks demonstrates varying cost ranges. While maximum ticket prices remain stable for three out of the four parks, guests will notice decreases in specific categories.
- Magic Kingdom tickets range from $139 to $199, down $5 on the lowest price compared to 2025.
- EPCOT ticket prices now range from $129 to $184, with the maximum price showing a $10 decrease.
- Disney’s Hollywood Studios pricing holds steady, ranging from $139 to $194.
- Disney’s Animal Kingdom tickets remain priced from $119 to $179.
These lower end-price adjustments primarily affect weekdays in less crowded months like August and September, offering an opportunity for budget-conscious travelers to enjoy the parks at a reduced cost.
Multi-Day Ticket Advantages
For guests planning an extended stay, multi-day tickets continue to offer cumulative savings. As with prior years, the per-day cost decreases the longer your ticket duration. Families visiting for four or more days can take advantage of these savings, especially when paired with other on-property benefits.
