Disney raises multi‑day ticket and Lightning Lane prices at Disneyland and Disney World
Disney announced on Oct. 6, 2026 that it is raising the cost of several multi‑day ticket options, Park Hopper add‑ons and Lightning Lane access at Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California, and Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida.
The adjustments do not affect the base single‑day entry prices, which stay at $104 for Disneyland and around $120 for Disney World’s Animal Kingdom ticket.
At Disneyland, the Park Hopper add‑on for single‑day tickets, which begins at $75, will increase by $5 to $10 depending on the day. Multi‑day Park Hopper tickets will rise $5 to $15, with the five‑day Park Hopper now priced at $660, $5 higher than before. The Lightning Lane Multi‑Pass also went up $1, costing $35 if purchased before arrival and $38 on the day of the visit.
One‑park tickets that span multiple days remain unchanged, with a two‑day pass at $335 and a five‑day pass at $520. The annual Magic Key pass also stays the same.
Disney World introduced similar premium price hikes. The top‑tier “Incredi‑Pass,” which provides unlimited Lightning Lane access, increased by $120 to $1,749, while the annual “Incredi‑Pass” reached roughly $1,800. A top‑of‑the‑line day ticket rose $20 to $229, and Lightning Lane access for that ticket climbed $50 to $499. The cheapest daily tickets, such as the $120 Animal Kingdom pass, were left untouched.
Thomas Mazloum, chairman of Disney Experiences, told CNN the company’s goal is to keep guests at the center of decision‑making, especially as families watch every dollar. “Our goal is to put guests at the center of our decision‑making, and that starts by listening to them,” he said, emphasizing the need to balance affordability with operational realities.
CFO Hugh Johnston added that Disney remains focused on attracting younger families while managing inflationary pressures. The price changes are intended to offset rising operational costs and fund upcoming park enhancements, including new themed areas at Disney World’s Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, and Hollywood Studios.
The moves come amid a broader trend of price adjustments across the theme‑park industry, as operators seek to maintain revenue streams while delivering new experiences.
