Disney World ticket prices vary by date, but Disney’s purchasing process makes it hard to compare costs. They use sneaky tactics to blur the difference between dates while you’re buying. It doesn’t have to be that complicated! In this article, we have the price of every regular ticket you can buy in 2025, along with add-on pricing and a bit of big-picture analysis. It’s the info you need to choose theme park tickets that fit your Disney World vacation budget.

There’s a lot to talk about, so if you’re in a hurry then click below to go straight to the section that interests you.  All prices in this article are accurate as of November 17, 2024, and do not include Florida’s 6.5% sales tax.  Tap any image to enlarge.

Single-Day Price Trends

I like to start out with the prices for single-day tickets because it feels a bit like a crowd calendar. It’s a quick view of when tickets will cost the most. And this is also, a bit, when Disney expects the parks to be busiest.

When you buy a single-day ticket, you buy it for a specific park, but Magic Kingdom is always the most expensive. Animal Kingdom is always the cheapest, with the other two parks somewhere in between.

To get a year-long view of one-day ticket prices, we have to pick a park. The chart below uses the Magic Kingdom ticket prices, but the pattern is similar for other parks. In 2025 there are 13 different prices for a single-day Magic Kingdom ticket.

It’s immediately clear that the lowest prices are in August and September. Disney advertises single-day tickets starting at $119, but that’s only at Animal Kingdom. The cheapest ticket you’ll find here is $139, and the highest is $199. In the past, weekends were more expensive than weekdays. We still see that a bit in April and the early part of the summer; those differences are about $5-10 per ticket.

Of course, we have a Crowd Calendar here at TouringPlans, and we update our predictions a few times a year. At the end of 2023 we put our calendar head-to-head against Disney’s demand prediction based on ticket prices.  I’ll go ahead and brag — we came out on top. 🙂

Comparing single-day tickets between parks, usually the most expensive single-park ticket at Disney World is about $25 more than the cheapest one for the same date. The “crowd calendar” heatmap doesn’t change much from park to park. Tap the links to see prices for 1-day tickets at EPCOT | Hollywood Studios | Animal Kingdom. Here is the 2025 price chart for a 1-day Park Hopper. For Park Hopper Plus, add $20 to the price of the Park Hopper. One-day child tickets at Disney World are $5 less than the price of the same adult ticket.

Overall Price Range

Does it look like there are very few days that are actually “Value” priced? You’re not wrong. Even if you start from the Magic Kingdom minimum of $139, there aren’t very many dates at those prices.

The bubble chart breaks out ticket prices by month, with the bubble size showing the number of tickets at that price. This visual makes it obvious how many days (or how few) are actually in that “rock bottom” range.

There are only 2 months where the minimum-price ticket is available. For those not able to visit in August or September, the cheapest tickets will be out of reach. Unless you’re visiting in the dog days of summer, expect to pay $174-$189 for a single-day ticket to the Magic Kingdom. That’s only a $15 range and the specific date might not impact your budget too much. For multi-day tickets, that $15 range will start to grow larger.

Add-Ons and Multi-Day Pricing

Disney offers three ticket upgrades that can be added to any length of ticket. The Water Park and Sports add-on is good for admission to a variety of activities related to (surprise!) water parks and sports.  The Park Hopper add-on lets you visit more than one park in a single day.  The combo with both add-ons is the Park Hopper Plus. If you already know what all these are you can skip ahead to the summary chart and value analysis. Current prices for these add-ons are in the table below.

Park Hopper Add-On

If you buy a 4-day base ticket, you get four admissions to the Disney World theme parks between the start date of your ticket and the expiration date a week later. However, each admission only gives you entry to one park, and you can’t use more than one admission per day.  This means you can’t buy a 5-day ticket and use it to visit Magic Kingdom and EPCOT on the same day just by spending an “extra” admission that day.

The Park Hopper lets you go from park to park on a single admission. You can switch parks as many times as you like. Stepping up to a Park Hopper costs between $65 and $95 depending on the length of your ticket and the start date.

Water Parks & Sports Add-On

The Water Parks & Sports add-on is a flat $70 no matter how long your ticket is. It gives you access to some activities (entitlements) outside the theme parks. You’ll get the same number of entitlements as you have days on your tickets, and this add-on is only available on tickets for two days or longer.

• A water park visit to Typhoon Lagoon (currently closed) or Blizzard Beach
• A round of mini-golf (before 4 p.m.) at Fantasia Gardens or Winter Summerland
• A round of golf at Disney’s Oak Trail Golf Course
• A round of FootGolf at Disney’s Oak Trail Golf Course
• A visit to ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex

One thing you need to know is that the expiration date of a 4-day base ticket is not four days after the start date — it’s a week. You don’t have to go to the theme parks and also use one of your WPS admissions on the same day, every day, in order to use them all. And, the Water Parks & Sports add-on gives you an extra day before your ticket expires compared to the same length base ticket.

That said, there are a couple of funky rules. In general, you can use more than one admission per day; for instance you can go to a water park and play mini-golf on the same day. But mini-golf is only free before 4 p.m. and there’s a max of one round per day (you can pay out of pocket for more rounds). On the flip side, you can visit Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach on the same day with just one admission. (Park Hopping is automatically included with a water park ticket.) That would require them to be open on the same day, which they haven’t since the pandemic … but maybe this year will be the year.

Park Hopper Plus

The Park Hopper Plus gives you both the park hopping ability of the Park Hopper add-on, and the extra activities of the Water Parks & Sports add-on.  Plus, compared to the base ticket the Hopper Plus gives you an extra day before your ticket expires to do all that stuff in … because with all that hopping back and forth and up and down, you might need it to keep from getting really tired. Park Hopper Plus is only $20 more than a regular Park Hopper.

Multi-Day Tickets (and Stats)

Since 2005, Disney World tickets have been cheaper per day the longer you stay. But even the multi-day tickets have variable prices, so how does that work? There used to be a nice formula that you could use, that made sense. You combined the prices of the days your ticket was good for, then applied a discount factor to get the cost of the multi-day ticket.

If you try that now, you get a variable discount factor, that generally has a range of ±1-2%. I can’t say for sure that Disney set the prices and then applied a jitter function to make data scientists like me nuts. But it sure feels that way. The chart below takes a look at price trends based on ticket length and time of year.

Looking at the chart above, it’s easy to see that after 4 days the amount for each extra day falls off quite sharply. The median 1-day ticket is $172, the median 4-day ticket is about 3.5 times that at $610 — but it’s only an additional $192 to get all the way to 10 days. Put differently: the first day of a 10-day ticket often costs only a little less than the last six days combined.

No matter how long your ticket is, the TouringPlans Ticket Calculator could help you find savings. It might be as simple as adjusting the start date of your ticket. Or, the Ticket Calculator can find the authorized reseller with the best price for your dates. That’s often a savings of about 10%.

What’s Worth It?

Now that we’ve got this large collection of numbers that go into the price of your ticket, I feel like it’s time for a nice chart so we can see them all in one place. For the Park Hopper and Park Hopper Plus, this chart uses the mode since it shows the price you’re most likely to pay. But remember that the range is only $10 wide. It’s not likely to be the make-or-break factor in your decision about Park Hoppers.

Our article on choosing add-ons discusses some of the factors that might make these options appealing, but let’s start with what’s easy. If you’re going to a water park for even one day, you should buy the Water Parks add-on because it’s cheaper than a Water Park ticket. What’s harder to say is when a Park Hopper is worth it. That’s totally going to be dependent on your personal style. If your trip is 4 days or more, adding an extra day may be more economical than a Park Hopper.

There’s a lot of synergy in the Park Hopper Plus; it’s worth considering if you’re getting the Water Parks. If you’re buying a 7-day ticket and you might only hop a couple of times, the median 7-day ticket breaks down to $105 per day. Paying half that again ($47.50) to hop on just two days might feel pretty steep. But if you’re already buying the Water Parks & Sports add-on, upgrading is only $12.50 per day. That might feel more reasonable for two days of hopping. Going the other way, if you’re buying the Hopper then a single round of mini-golf will make the Hopper Plus pay off.

One thing to remember about date-based Disney tickets: you can add on features or days, right up until the end of the last day that you use them in the parks. It will only cost you the difference between the price of the ticket you’re upgrading to, and the price of the ticket you initially bought. It’s never too late to make your ticket more expensive, but it’s hard to make it cheaper once Disney has your money.

In the last couple of years, Disney has released special summer ticket offers. These tickets offer considerable savings, although they do come with restrictions. You can see last year’s offer here: Disney World Special Offer Tickets for Summer of 2024. Depending on your plans, you might wait to buy tickets in case a similar offer is released for 2025.

All. The. Prices.

I promised you all the prices for 2025, and here they are. Coloring for each length of ticket is scaled across the whole year. That is: 3-day ticket coloring scales against all 3-day tickets, not against 2-day tickets in the same month. The 1-day ticket price shown in these charts is the average across all parks for that day.

To save you from scrolling and scrolling, these are only the adult base ticket prices. To get the price of a Water Parks & Sports ticket, add $70. (Only applies to tickets for 2 days or longer.)
