Regular Walt Disney World Ticket Prices

Annual Pass prices last went up on August 30, 2021.

This page lists the prices of standard tickets that you can buy at the gate. We list the full price, including tax you’ll pay if you buy in person at Walt Disney World. You’ll pay less for some tickets when purchased in advance; read below for more.

There are discounts available on most of the tickets listed below. See our comprehensive list of discount sources for standard Walt Disney World tickets.

Prices on this page include tax! Note that ticket prices quoted at DisneyWorld.com do not include tax. On the Disney site the tax is added to the price during the ordering process, which is why the prices look lower than the prices below. Sales tax of 6.5% is charged regardless of where you buy the tickets.

Special note: You will need Disney theme park reservations for the first Walt Disney World theme park you want to visit each day. Before buying tickets, check the park reservation calendar to make sure you can get into the parks you want to visit, then buy your tickets, link the tickets to MyDisneyExperience, then go back to the park reservation calendar to lock in your park reservations. If your plans change, you can change your park reservations later, assuming there’s availability at the park you want to switch to. Park hopping is available from 2:00 pm until park closing; read more about how Park Hopper currently works.

Price Tiers

Walt Disney World tickets vary in price depending on the season. Tickets are cheapest in mid-January and most expensive during Christmas season. You can expect higher prices around holidays and lower prices during periods when most children are in school.

If you’re debating between two different lengths of ticket or whether to add Park Hopper or not, start with the cheapest ticket that you think will work for your trip. If you have to downgrade a ticket, you don’t get any money back, so you might as well start small and add days or features as needed.

Price Increases

In the past, Disney would increase all of its ticket prices at once, usually over a weekend in the spring or summer. With the current ticket system, where ticket prices vary based on the dates covered, Disney does not seem to be doing that kind of increase any more, or at least not commonly. What seems to be happening is as Disney adds tickets to their price calendar, they come in at slightly higher prices than the tickets for the same dates in the previous year.

That said, Disney can and does change the prices of tickets if they feel they’ve made an error, or demand spikes suddenly, and those price changes only seem to go in one direction: up! Our advice is still to get your tickets as soon as you feel confident you’ll be going. It’s easy enough to change your dates if you need to, so if you’re trying to decide between several different trip date ranges, buy tickets for whichever date range is cheapest. You can always move your tickets to a more expensive date range by paying the difference, but Disney won’t refund the difference if you switch to less expensive tickets.

Validity Length

Each ticket you buy is good for a certain number of admissions, but those admissions don’t necessarily have to be used consecutively. All regular 2-Day or longer tickets are valid for a few extra days than the number of days of admission, so you can take a break partway through your trip and do other things. So, for example, a 3-Day ticket allows you to visit the park for 3 days out of 5 calendar days. You could go on days 1, 2 and 3 or you could go on 1, 3 and 5, or even 3, 4 and 5.

Water Park & Sports tickets and Park Hopper Plus tickets (see below for more) offer extra admissions to water parks and golf, and also add one more validity day to each ticket.

Important Savings Tip: if a ticket offers more valid days than you need, that gives you some options as to what date range you can pick from. Let’s say you are buying a 4-Day ticket and you intend to use it on 4 consecutive days, say April 8, 9, 10 and 11. Since a 4-Day ticket is valid on any 4 days out of a 7-day range, you can actually buy a ticket that’s good from April 5-11, April 6-12, April 7-13 or April 8-14. If you get a Park Hopper Plus, you get one more day of validity, so you could even choose April 4-11. Any of those tickets will be valid on the 4 days you care about, so choose the cheapest one. For some dates (mostly leading up to a big holiday) there could be a spread of $5/day or more, which would be $20 per ticket! That’s not chump change. Most times of year, one of the tickets will be at least $1-$2 cheaper per day ($4-$8 per ticket in this case), and that’s good for a churro or two.

The above strategy only works when you buy tickets separately. When you buy a Walt Disney World Vacation Package with tickets, you don’t get to choose your ticket starting day separately from your resort starting day. The first valid ticket day will always be your resort checkin day, no matter what.

Here’s the whole chart of how many valid days you get with each ticket length:

Advance Purchase Discount

Tickets of 3 days or longer cost $21.30 less (including tax) when purchased in advance online or over the phone, as opposed to buying in person at the Disney World ticket booths, hotel desks or guest services. Our tables show the “gate” price. There are ways to get even larger discounts for tickets of 3 days or longer: see our comprehensive guide to Disney World ticket discounts for more on that.

Base Ticket

Base Tickets (also called “1 Park Per Day” Tickets), give you admission to one major theme park (Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Hollywood Studios or Animal Kingdom) each day. (You can leave and enter that same park multiple times on the same day.) You can add optional features at extra cost if you like, specifically Park Hopper (the ability to visit more than one park per day) or Park Hopper Plus (extra admissions to water parks and other activities other than the four main parks).

Disney World tickets are only valid on the dates you specify at purchase time (see our complete chart of how many valid days you get with each ticket). You can change the dates or options at any time before arriving, though if the change results in the price being higher, you have to pay the difference. If you make a change that results in a lower price, you don’t get a refund. If they expire unused, they can still be traded for new tickets. See our comprehensive explanation of Disney World ticket expiration and upgrades for more.

The chart below has the price ranges for all 1 Park Per Day tickets. You can also compare all of the ticket options on our full chart of all Disney World ticket prices.

Base (1 Park Per Day) Ticket Prices – Advance Purchase)

• Prices vary according to time of year. Each price is given as a range from cheapest (low season) to most expensive (peak season). The cheapest tickets will typically be in late January, and the most expensive will be during the Christmas holidays. Other times of year will vary: expect higher prices near holidays and weekends and lower during slower periods.
• All prices include tax.
• Tickets of 3 days or longer purchased at the gate cost $21.30 more than the listed price.

Park Hopper Option

All prices listed include tax.

Adding the Park Hopper option lets you come and go as you please to any or all of the four major Walt Disney World theme parks (Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Hollywood Studios and Animal Kingdom) on the same day. Note that a regular Base Ticket allows you to visit all four parks; they just have to be visited on separate days. Park Hopper lets you switch parks during a single calendar day.

Special note: Park hopping is available from 2:00 pm until park closing. Park Hopper hours are subject to change and may be different for different parks, so check Walt Disney World Park Hours for the most current information. Park-to-park transportation begins shortly before the start of Park Hopper hours.

• A Theme Park Reservation will be required for the first park you enter that day and you must enter that park prior to visiting another. Read more about making a Theme Park Reservation.
• At this time, a reservation is not required for any parks you visit after the first one, but this requirement is subject to change. The ability to visit another park will be subject to capacity limits.
• If you are visiting Disney’s Hollywood Studios after your first park, you will not be able to join the virtual queue for Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance. Read more about visiting Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge.

The extra cost on top of the base-price ticket is $69.23 for a 1-Day ticket; $79.88 for add-on to 2- or 3-Day tickets; or $90.53 for add-on to any 4-Day or longer ticket. This works out to a little under $13 per day on a 7-Day ticket.

Disney World tickets are only valid on the dates you specify at purchase time (see our complete chart of how many valid days you get with each ticket). You can change the dates or options at any time before arriving, though if the change results in the price being higher, you have to pay the difference. If you make a change that results in a lower price, you don’t get a refund. If they expire unused, they can still be traded for new tickets. See our comprehensive explanation of Disney World ticket expiration and upgrades for more.

The chart below has the prices for all tickets with Park Hopper. You can also compare all of the ticket options on our full chart of all regular Walt Disney World ticket prices.

Park Hopper Ticket Prices (Advance Purchase)

• Prices vary according to time of year. Each price is given as a range from cheapest (low season) to most expensive (peak season). The cheapest tickets will typically be in late January, and the most expensive will be during the Christmas holidays. Other times of year will vary: expect higher prices near holidays and weekends and lower during slower periods.
• All prices include tax.
• Tickets of 3 days or longer purchased at the gate cost $21.30 more than the listed price.

We are often asked if you can buy, say, a 10-Day Base Ticket and use it as a 5-Day Hopper by visiting two parks per day. The answer is no. You can only enter one park per day with regular Walt Disney World Base Tickets (the gates will prevent you from entering another park on the same day with that ticket). You must buy the Park Hopper option if you want to go to more than one park per day.

The Park Hopper option can be added after the initial ticket purchase. For instance, if you buy a 7-Day ticket and decide on the 2nd day of your vacation that you’d like to “hop” between parks, you can add the Park Hopper option for $90.53. The price is based on the total number of days on your ticket, not the number of days remaining, so even if you only have one day left, it still costs the same as if you upgraded on the first day. Upgrades are allowed before midnight on the day you use the last admission, or the expiration date, whichever comes first.

Water Park & Sports Option

This option adds special “visits” to water parks and smaller attractions to your park tickets. Each visit can be one of the following:

• admission to Blizzard Beach water park
• admission to Typhoon Lagoon water park
• admission to ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex (doesn’t include event ticket cost)
• round of mini golf at Fantasia Gardens (before 4:00 pm)
• round of mini golf at Winter Summerland (before 4:00 pm)
• round of golf at Oak Trail family walking course (advance reservations required, clubs not included for adults, pull cart not included)

The extra cost on top of a Base Ticket is a flat $74.55, for any length of ticket.

The number of “visits” you get with the Water Park & Sports option is equal to the number of park days on the ticket. A 1-Day ticket has both 1-day of major park admission and 1 visit, a 3-Day ticket has both 3 days of major park admission and 3 visits, and so forth. This is an incentive to buy the longer passes, so that you’ll get more visits for your money.

When you add the Water Parks & Sports option to a Base ticket, it extends the validity length of the ticket by one day. That doesn’t add any park admission days, but does give you one extra day to use all your park days and special water park & sports visits. For example, a 7-day ticket normally is valid for a 10-day span, but adding Water Parks & Sports makes it valid for an 11-day span.

You can mix and match visits, use them in any order, or even use more than one in one day. Each admission or golf round counts as one visit taken off your total, even if you go on the same day. There is no “hopping” privilege for the attractions included in this add-on. You do get “in and out” privileges at the two water parks, so you can go to Blizzard Beach in the morning, go back to your hotel, and come back in the evening, and it only uses one visit off your ticket. If you go to Blizzard Beach in the morning and Typhoon Lagoon in the evening, though, that would deduct two visits.

Disney World tickets are only valid on the dates you specify at purchase time (see our complete chart of how many valid days you get with each ticket). You can change the dates or options at any time before arriving, though if the change results in the price being higher, you have to pay the difference. If you make a change that results in a lower price, you don’t get a refund. If they expire unused, they can still be traded for new tickets. See our comprehensive explanation of Disney World ticket expiration and upgrades for more.

The chart below has the prices for all tickets with Water Park & Sports. You can also compare all of the ticket options on our full chart of all regular Walt Disney World ticket prices.

Water Park & Sports Ticket Prices (Advance Purchase)

• Prices vary according to time of year. Each price is given as a range from cheapest (low season) to most expensive (peak season). The cheapest tickets will typically be in late January, and the most expensive will be during the Christmas holidays. Other times of year will vary: expect higher prices near holidays and weekends and lower during slower periods.
• All prices include tax.
• Tickets of 3 days or longer purchased at the gate cost $21.30 more than the listed price.

Adding Water Park & Sports to a Base Ticket is a good deal if the ticket is at least 2 days long and you will be visiting the water parks at least twice, or one water park visit plus one visit to Oak Trail golf course. The value of the other options (ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex, Fantasia Gardens or Winter Summerland) is much lower. There’s really not much worth doing or seeing at the ESPN Wide World of Sports unless you’re seeing an event, and most of the events have their own separate admission tickets which will include admission to the complex. (See the Other Admissions section of this page for regular prices.)

Note that with the Water Park & Sports option, in most cases you have more admissions than you have valid days. For example, with a 7-Day ticket, you have a total of 14 admissions (7 theme park, 7 water park or other), but only 11 days to use them all. So if you actually wanted to use all of them, you’d have to visit more than one attraction on several days.

The Water Park & Sports option can be added after the initial ticket purchase. For instance, if you buy a 7-Day Base ticket and decide on the 5th day of your vacation that you’d like to visit the water parks, you can add Water Park & Sports for $74.55. This will add the full 7 extra visits, which you can use within the 11-day period starting on the day you first started using the ticket, NOT the day you bought the ticket upgrade. Upgrades are allowed before the ticket expires OR before midnight on the day you use the last admission, whichever comes first.

Park Hopper Plus Option

All prices listed include tax.

This option bundles the features of the Park Hopper and the Water Park & Sports options into one ticket.

Special note: Park hopping is available from 2:00 pm until park closing; read more about how Park Hopper currently works. 

The extra cost on top of a Park Hopper ticket is a flat rate of $21.30 total for any ticket length. If you want to add this option to a Base Ticket, you need to also add Park Hopper, so the total cost to upgrade from a Base Ticket ranges from $90.53 to $111.83, depending on length.

When you add the Park Hopper Plus option to a Base or Park Hopper ticket, it extends the validity length of the ticket by one day. That doesn’t add any park admission days, but does give you one extra day to use all your park days and special water park & sports visits. For example, a 7-day ticket normally is valid for a 10-day span, but adding Park Hopper Plus makes it valid for an 11-day span.

Disney World tickets are only valid on the dates you specify at purchase time (see our complete chart of how many valid days you get with each ticket). You can change the dates or options at any time before arriving, though if the change results in the price being higher, you have to pay the difference. If you make a change that results in a lower price, you don’t get a refund. If they expire unused, they can still be traded for new tickets. See our comprehensive explanation of Disney World ticket expiration and upgrades for more.

The chart below has the prices for all tickets with Park Hopper Plus. You can also compare all of the ticket options on our full chart of all regular Walt Disney World ticket prices.

Park Hopper Plus Ticket Prices (Advance Purchase)

• Prices vary according to time of year. Each price is given as a range from cheapest (low season) to most expensive (peak season). The cheapest tickets will typically be in late January, and the most expensive will be during the Christmas holidays. Other times of year will vary: expect higher prices near holidays and weekends and lower during slower periods.
• All prices include tax.
• Tickets of 3 days or longer purchased at the gate cost $21.30 more than the listed price.

Adding Park Hopper Plus to a Base Ticket is a good deal if you will be visiting the water parks at least twice or playing three rounds at Oak Trail.

Adding Plus to a Park Hopper is worth it if you will be visiting a water park or Oak Trail even once!

The value of the other options (ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex, Fantasia Gardens or Winter Summerland) is much lower. There’s really not much worth doing or seeing at the ESPN Wide World of Sports unless you’re seeing an event, and most of those have their own admission tickets which will include admission to the complex. (See the Other Admissions section of this page for regular prices.)

Note that with the Park Hopper Plus option, in most cases you have more admissions than you have valid days. For example, with a 7-Day ticket, you have a total of 14 admissions (7 theme park, 7 water park or other), but only 11 days to use them all. So if you actually wanted to use all of them, you’d have to visit more than one attraction on several days.

The Park Hopper Plus option can be added after the initial ticket purchase. For instance, if you buy a 7-Day Park Hopper ticket and decide on the 5th day of your vacation that you’d like to visit the water parks, you can add Park Hopper Plus for $21.30. If you have a 7-Day Base Ticket, you will also need to add Park Hopper, so the total upgrade will be $111.83. This will add the full 7 extra visits, which you can use within the 11-day period starting on the day you first started using the ticket, NOT the day you bought the ticket upgrade. Upgrades are allowed before the ticket expires OR before midnight on the day you use the last admission, whichever comes first.

No Expiration Option

Please Note: the No Expiration Option is no longer available for sale (as of February 22, 2015). Old no-expiration tickets are still being honored at the gate.

Older, regular “Magic Your Way” Tickets expired 14 days after their first use. “Magic Your Way” tickets with the No Expiration option means the unused days never expire. You can come back and use them any time. If you find one of these in a drawer, it is still good (if the days haven’t all been used).
