Walt Disney World has set record-high single-day ticket prices for the 2027 holiday season at all four theme parks, according to reports published Wednesday, October 7, 2026. Magic Kingdom and EPCOT top the calendar at $229 for one day — Magic Kingdom on December 25 and December 31, EPCOT on December 31.

As of Wednesday, October 7, 2026, tickets are reportedly on sale through the end of 2027, with November and December now added to the 2027 calendar. The first batch of 2027 dates went on sale in April.

The $229 figure is a $20 jump over each park’s 2026 holiday peak — the largest increase of the four parks. Hollywood Studios and Animal Kingdom also set new highs, at $214 and $189 respectively.

Those numbers also exceed the 2027 highs reported back in April, when Magic Kingdom topped out at $219, EPCOT at $214, Hollywood Studios at $209, and Animal Kingdom at $184. Previously released prices through the end of October 2027 did not change.

The records apply to only a couple of dates. The 2027 calendar still includes far cheaper days, reportedly dipping to around $119 per day in late August and September.

Separately, Walt Disney World’s Spring 2027 offers became bookable September 10, with reported savings of up to $250 per night on select room-and-ticket packages for nights between January 3 and July 28, 2027.

What we know

What’s not confirmed

Disney has not issued a public announcement about the 2027 holiday pricing; the figures come from reports of its day-by-day ticket calendar. Nothing in the reporting addresses whether multi-day ticket pricing, Annual Pass rates, or Lightning Lane pricing changes alongside these dates, and no explanation was given for the increases.

What it means for your trip

If your 2027 dates are flexible at all, move off December 25 and December 31. Those two dates carry the peak price and the heaviest crowds of the year, so you pay the most for the slowest park day — shifting even a day or two in either direction usually lowers the ticket cost.

If the holiday week is non-negotiable, price the trip in the right order: lock the room first, since room-and-ticket offers like the Spring 2027 promotion tend to move more money than anything else, then decide which days actually warrant Lightning Lane Multi Pass rather than buying it for every park day.

Check Disney’s own date-by-date calendar before you commit, because the spread between a $119 day and a $229 day is the single biggest lever in your ticket budget.

One practical note for a peak-week trip: holiday dining books out fast at 60 days, but cancellations free up constantly. SupaPark’s dining Drop Watch pings you the moment a table opens so you can grab it in My Disney Experience.
