Disney World Annual Pass Prices Rise, Top Tier Up $120
Published October 6, 2026 · Updated October 12, 2026
Walt Disney World has raised prices on its Annual Passes by as much as $120, according to reports published Tuesday, October 6, 2026. The steepest increase lands on the top tier; the new rates are reported to hold through October 2027.
As of Tuesday, October 6, 2026, Disney has not issued its own public statement on the change, and pass pricing can shift again without notice — confirm current figures on Disney’s website before you buy.
The timing tracks with how admission pricing usually moves here. Disney World has settled into roughly one admission increase per year, typically landing in early February or mid-October alongside the start of a new fiscal year, and this is reported as the first notable admission increase of 2026.
Annual Passes were hit harder than other admission products in this round. Reports tie that to the gap Disney tends to maintain between single-day ticket pricing and pass pricing: with 2027 ticket prices already topping out at a record $219 per day as of the April product launch, passes following upward was the expected outcome.
The Disneyland comparison is the genuinely surprising part. Disneyland rolled out its own annual admission increases at the same time, but all Magic Key Annual Passes and multi-day tickets there were left unchanged, according to reports. The locals-heavy resort held its pass prices; the tourist-heavy one did not.

What’s not confirmed
Disney has not publicly confirmed the increase itself, the exact new price for each Annual Pass tier, or whether any further admission changes are coming before 2027. Tier-by-tier figures, Florida-resident pricing, and the status of add-ons were not established in the coverage available. Nothing has been announced about renewal pricing for existing passholders.
What it means for your trip
If you were already close to pulling the trigger on a pass, the math moved against you — run it again before you buy. The break-even is the same question it always was: how many park days you’ll actually use, not how many you imagine using.
For most one-trip families, this changes nothing. An Annual Pass rarely wins against date-based tickets unless you’re coming twice, staying long, or living close enough to drive over.
If you already hold a pass, lean on the perks you’re paying for. Annual Pass discounts turn up on food and beverage at more table-service spots than guests expect, and nobody volunteers them — ask at the bar and again before you tap to pay.
And price yourself against the other lever: a higher admission cost makes the Lightning Lane Multi Pass decision matter more, not less, because wasted hours in line are the expensive part of a pricier day.
