Walt Disney World Hikes Annual Pass Prices

Two weeks after Disneyland released new rates for tickets and annual passes, the Magic Kingdom has followed suit: Walt Disney World today announced pricing for its four-tier annual pass program, effective immediately.

The average increase across the tiers is 6.25%. For comparison, the Consumer Price Index rose 2.5% in the year period ending in August 2024. That’s according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The CPI’s rate of increase is expected to fall further in 2025.

The chief difference between the tiers of passes are the blackout dates, with more reservation availability opening up for weekends and holidays as the price increases.

See the new rates and who can purchase each level of pass below. Prices for renewing annual pass holders are $250-$120 lower, depending on tier.

For comparison, Disneyland’s highest-rung Inspire Key rose a whopping 20% year-over-year earlier this month.

Also today, Walt Disney World released tickets, Disney Resort hotel rooms and packages for November and December 2025. Those year-out availabilities also include increases. Walt Disney World did not make any pricing changes to tickets that were already on sale, which includes dates through October 2025.

Earlier this year, a report from Finance Buzz showed prices for concessions at Walt Disney World have increased an average of 61% over the past 10 years — more than the average increase in a single park ticket, which has gone up 56% over the past decade.

The actual rate of inflation for the last 10 years was pegged at 32% by the report.

Rising high were such fan favorites as the Dole Whip dessert, which has gone up 58%, and the Mickey Mouse-shaped ice cream bar, which has increased 63% in the past 10 years.

Disney CEO Bob Iger has pledged $60 billion investment in the company’s parks, 70% of which will be put into new attractions and 30% of which will be for technology and maintenance to make the expansions happen.

Michael Hundgen, Walt Disney World site portfolio executive, said earlier this year that the company’s Orlando resort is undergoing “probably the largest expansion ever.” 

Dubbed “Beyond Big Thunder,” the project is so named because it will expand the park into a swampy, wooded area behind the current Big Thunder Mountain Railroad at one corner of the property.

Hundgen said the expansion would be on par, size-wise, with the 14-acre Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge.

Earlier this year, Disney CFO Hugh Johnston said on a Q2 earnings call that Parks growth in the fiscal third quarter will be flat for a few reasons including “some normalization of post-Covid demand as it relates to demand. While consumers continue to travel in record numbers and we are still seeing healthy demand, we are seeing some evidence of a global moderation from peak post-Covid travel.”
