Disney Hikes Annual Passes, Some Tickets on Both Coasts
Published October 8, 2026 · Updated October 12, 2026
Disney raised prices on all four Walt Disney World Annual Pass tiers and on some Walt Disney World single-day tickets on Tuesday, October 6, 2026, with targeted ticket increases and higher add-on fees at Disneyland the same day, according to reports. Multiday Walt Disney World ticket prices and some Lightning Lane prices were reportedly left alone, and the lowest-priced one-day Walt Disney World ticket stays at $119 before tax.
As of Thursday, October 8, the new prices are reported to be in effect at both resorts, having taken hold the day they were posted. Annual Passholders at Walt Disney World reportedly absorbed some of the largest single-dollar jumps in this round.
The increases were targeted rather than across the board. On the West Coast, Disneyland’s entry-level Tier 0 one-day ticket reportedly held at $104, and the top Tier 5 and Tier 6 one-day tickets were unchanged — the movement landed in the middle of the chart and in add-on fees.
Beyond admission, reports describe markups on select character breakfasts and on some everyday in-park spending at Walt Disney World. Walt Disney World’s Lightning Lane Premier Pass also reportedly saw its ceiling rise to $499 per person on select peak dates.
What we know

- Walt Disney World single-day tickets — some dates up; the cheapest one-day ticket reportedly remains $119 pre-tax
- Walt Disney World multiday tickets — reportedly unchanged

What’s not confirmed
The coverage available does not spell out the new dollar amount for each Annual Pass tier, which character breakfasts went up or by how much, which everyday items were repriced, or the size of Disneyland’s higher add-on fees. Disney has not publicly explained the reasoning behind this round, and has not announced any further increases.
What it means for your trip
- If you were weighing an Annual Pass, price it against the multiday ticket math again — multiday ticket prices reportedly did not move, which narrows the gap for a single week-long trip.
- Single-day pricing at Walt Disney World is date-based, and the low end reportedly held at $119. Shifting a park day by a day or two can still matter more than any one hike.
- Premier Pass is a peak-date luxury at that ceiling. For most groups, buying Lightning Lane Multi Pass per day — then booking selections in advance (7 days out for Disney resort guests, 3 for off-site) and refilling one at a time — is the better value call.
