Do you want to go to Disney World in 2026? I know I do!

Disney has just released its ticket prices for Walt Disney World for January through October 2026, and the big question on everyone’s mind is — will it be more expensive to go to Disney World next year??

First off, if you’re planning a Disney World vacation and you want to get the best deal possible (and who does NOT want to get the best deal possible — SHOW YOURSELVES!), I want to remind you that using a travel agent who specializes in Disney vacations will not cost you a penny. And while it won’t cost you anything extra, I can promise you it will SAVE you money (because they know about all the discounts available — including ones that drop after you have booked your vacation), time (because they will do the heavy lifting like quoting different dates or hotel rooms, and making reservations for you), and stress (because they will suggest hotels, restaurants and itineraries that will fit best for your individual situation).

You can now book a Disney World vacation package that includes tickets and a hotel stay through October 31st, 2026. You can get your reservations made and start planning with a $200 minimum deposit — with the rest due closer to your vacation.

Let’s look at Disney World ticket prices for 2026! Disney World uses dynamic pricing — which is a quick way of saying that Disney World ticket prices vary by day and by what park you’re going to. The most expensive days are the ones Disney expects to be most in demand (and most crowded), and the least expensive days, well, they’re the opposite — you can probably expect less crowded parks on those days.

For the first 10 months of 2026, the cheapest days at the cheapest park (yes, it’s always Animal Kingdom) are $119. And the most expensive days at the most expensive park (yes, it’s always Magic Kingdom) are $199. But MOST of the days are gonna fall somewhere in the middle and run you in the $145-$175 range. Keep in mind that this is for a single-day ticket with no park hopping, meaning you can only visit your chosen park on that ticket.

Keep in mind that if you’re planning a trip to Disney World, you’re probably going to be going to the parks multiple days — and buying a multi-day ticket comes with discounts. You won’t pay that single-day price for every day of your trip. For example, if you want to go to Magic Kingdom on Monday, Aug. 3, 2026, a 1-day, 1-park ticket will cost you $169. But if you want to buy a 4-day ticket that starts that day, it will cost you $558.56, which works out to $139.64 per day. What if you want to get 7 days worth of tickets? That will cost you $652.51, or $93.22 per day.

Now, there are other options to add on to your tickets — the biggest being the “park hopper” option. Park hopping means you go to two or more Disney World parks in the same day — and that is going to cost you a chunk of change on top of your 1-day, 1-park ticket. Going back to our “typical” day of Monday, Aug. 3rd, 2026, a Magic Kingdom ticket costs $169, but if you want to visit multiple parks and add the park hopper option, that price jumps up to $228, an increase of $59.

So when are the cheapest times to go to Disney World in 2026? Those days are going to be later into August 2026, when school has started in many U.S. districts. August 18th, 2026, August 20th-21st, 2026, and August 24th-28th, 2026, those 1-day, 1-park tickets for Animal Kingdom are $119, and Magic Kingdom tickets are $139.

Your most expensive days are going to fall around Easter, which is on April 5th, 2026. From March 25th-April 6th, 2026, Animal Kingdom 1-day tickets will cost $179, and Magic Kingdom will be $199.
