Disneyland Raised Prices AGAIN– And Walt Disney World Is Next!
Have you heard about the latest Disney price increase?
The cost of Disney tickets is on the rise!
Taking the kiddos to Disney has always been expensive. Unfortunately, it’s about to get even more pricey!
Disneyland Resorts suddenly increased prices this Wednesday, much to the surprise of many park visitors. Though a formal announcement has not been issued, according to CNN, single-day tickets rose 6%, and Magic Key passes increased between 6% and 20% – that’s around a $100 to $120 increase, depending on the pass! 😱
You may be familiar with Disney’s tier system. The lower the tier, the less busy the park is or the less demand there is for a ticket. Buying a lower-tier day ticket is one easy way to save at the park, and fortunately, we found that the base price of a Tier 0 one-day ticket is staying at $104.
However, other tiers saw the price increase. For example, Tier 6 (the most popular time to visit the park) is now $12 more expensive. The Magic Key passes all received an increase, the highest increase being $125. So far, there is no word on if parking and refreshments are also affected by price changes.
What we do know is that Disneyland isn’t the only park raising prices. Walt Disney World Resort is also increasing prices. The park previously announced plans to raise prices in 2025, and the new rates are already reflected on the Walt Disney World website.
Didn’t Disney just increase prices?
You know it! Last year, Disney reported a decline in attendance and hotel occupancy as consumers battled record inflation. Instead of decreasing prices, they offered a limited-time deal on park tickets for children and then quickly raised prices across virtually every category.
This year, Disney once again reported that they underperformed. It seems their plan is to continue to raise prices while offering occasional deals. So far, we have seen deals like 15% – 25% off hotels at both parks.
Are there any ways to save on a Disney vacation?
Full pricing information for Walt Disney World in Orlando, FL, and Disneyland in Anaheim, CA can be found on each park’s website. Fortunately, there are still ways to save on your next Disney vacation!
For example, Multi-passes or “Park Hopper” passes can often onlinee out cheaper than purchasing single-day tickets. To save money, you may consider buying Tier 0 tickets and traveling during slow seasons such as when school starts or during the winter months (especially in California).
