As we previously reported, Walt Disney World will be transitioning to Park Specific Ticket Pricing for 1-day, 1-park tickets beginning Thursday, December 8, 2022. Below is a range of what Guests can anticpate to pay for 1-day tickets with this change. Please keep in mind that the Magic Kingdom will be the highest priced park and the high end of the range is for dates that are usually the biggest like around Christmas. Animal Kingdom will not see a change in pricing for 1-day, 1-park tickets.
- Disney’s Animal Kingdom: $109-$159 (same range as today)
- Disney’s Hollywood Studios: $124-$179
- EPCOT: $114-$179
- Magic Kingdom: $124-$189

One positive about this rate increase for Walt Disney World 1-day, 1-park tickets, is that a park reservation will be included as a part of your ticket purchase so it won’t be an extra step to make one. You will be required to still make park reservations with multi-day tickets.
In addition to a price increase for Walt Disney World 1-day, 1-park tickets,Thursday will also bring price increases for ticket add-ons including the Park Hopper and Park Hopper Plus.

So, you might we curious on what is going to happen to the prices of multi-day tickets. And, at this time we are not sure if multi-day tickets will also see a price increase. So, if you are thiking of booking, I suggest putting down that reundable $200 deposit just to be sure. It’s also possible we could see a price increase for Walt Disney World Resort Hotel rooms. But, again, it’s a 50/50 chance.
We do know for sure that Walt Disney World Annual Passes will also be increasing when the ticket price increase goes into effect on Thursday. While most Annual Passes are still not available for sale, Disney has advised that prices will be increasing anywhere from $43 to $100 per pass.
To reiterate, if you are planning a Walt Disney World vacation anytime through the rest of the year or in 2023, make sure you lock it in by Wednesday evening. All packages just require a $200 deposit that is fully-refundable up until 30 days prior to your arrival date. Also, when you book with a Travel Specialist like myself, you can take advantage of rate monitoring. This means if a better rate or discount would become available for your booked reservation or package, I would apply it for you (if available) to pass along the savings.
