How Much Do Disney World Tickets Cost in 2026?

Written by Carly on May 6, 2025.

When planning a Walt Disney World vacation, pricing out each component of your trip is critical. The cost of a Disney World vacation can go up quickly if you aren’t aware of how each line item breaks down. Theme park tickets are perhaps the most important purchase you make in the vacation planning process.

That said, as important as Disney World tickets are, you might be unaware of how much they cost. This is, in part, because there are so many different types of tickets to choose from. This article breaks down exactly how much you could be spending on your Disney World tickets on your upcoming vacation.

Types of Disney World Tickets

Before we get to the actual cost of Disney World tickets, let’s define all of the major ticket types. There are countless ticket types and various combinations, but for the purposes of this article, we’ll focus on the main ticket types that the majority of guests will purchase.

Base Ticket

At the foundation of most non-Annual Passholder ticket types is your standard Disney World base Theme Park Ticket. These date-based tickets are available in one to 10 day varieties. They are date-based in that you are required to select a start date when purchasing (no additional theme park reservations are required).

With a standard base ticket, you can visit one theme park per day for as many days as are on your ticket. So, a standard four-day base ticket lets you visit one (1) theme park every day for four (4) days. If you want to visit each theme park once, you may do so, or you may visit the same park four days in a row – it’s all up to you.

If you want more flexibility and options during your Walt Disney World vacation, however, there are several add-ons to consider (with added fees):

Park Hopper Option

Arguably the most popular add-on to the base ticket is the Park Hopper option. Upgrading to a Park Hopper ticket allows you to visit more than one theme park on the same day. The ability to visit a park is subject to the park’s capacity limitations.

Water Park and Sports Option

Per Disney, adding the Water Park and Sports Option to your base ticket allows you to visit one theme park per day, plus enjoy a certain number of visits to a water park or other Walt Disney World fun. These credentials are based on the number of days on your base ticket; for example, a 2-day ticket allows two visits, a 3-day ticket allows 3 visits, and a 4-day ticket allows 4 visits. For each visit, you can choose one of the following:

A Walt Disney World water park (either Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon water park or Disney’s Blizzard Beach water park—whichever is open)
ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex
Disney’s Oak Trail Golf Course
FootGolf at Disney’s Oak Trail
Disney’s Fantasia Gardens Miniature Golf Course (one round; prior to 4:00 PM)Disney’s Winter Summerland Miniature Golf Course (one round; prior to 4:00 PM)

Park Hopper Plus Option

Per Disney, for maximum flexibility and options, there is the Park Hopper Plus Option, essentially a hybrid of the Park Hopper Option and the Water Park and Sports Option. With this ticket add-on, you may visit more than one theme park on the same day, plus enjoy a certain number of visits to a water park or other Walt Disney World fun. Similar to the Water Park and Sports Option, this varies based on the number of days on your ticket: A 2-day ticket allows 2 visits, a 3-day ticket allows 3 visits and a 4-day ticket allows 4 visits. The ability to visit a park is subject to the park’s capacity limitations.

For each visit, you can choose one of the following:

A Walt Disney World water park (either Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon water park or Disney’s Blizzard Beach water park—whichever is open)
ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex
Disney’s Oak Trail Golf Course

Disney’s Fantasia Gardens Miniature Golf Course (one round; prior to 4:00 PM)

Discounts and Ways to Save on Disney World Tickets

Looking to spend less on Disney World theme park admission than the rack rates listed above? Here are some tried and true methods to actually save money on Disney World tickets:

Buy an Annual Pass

I know, I know! How is buying an Annual Pass – something that costs just north of $1,500 if you live outside the state of Florida – a money-saving method? Well, it all comes down to how often you visit Disney World.

Frequent Disney World visitors can actually save quite a bit of money by investing in an Annual Pass. The math differs slightly based on how long your vacations are typically and what time of year you visit, but in general, you need to visit a Disney World park on at least 10 to 12 separate dates in a 12 month period to break even on an Annual Pass.

Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind at EPCOT

For example, let’s say you know you have two separate one week vacations to Disney World in a 12 month period coming up. If you know you’ll be in the parks for at least five or six of those days on each visit, then an Annual Pass might be a better value.

Look for Longer-Standing Discounts, Like Florida Resident and Military

Specific guest groups are more likely to find regular discounts available to them when buying Disney World tickets. In general, Florida residents and military are the two groups that typically have active or more evergreen discount options for theme park admission.

Research Hacks Like Target Red Card Discounts and Costco Gift Card Promotions

There are some clever ways to bring the overall cost of Disney World tickets down if you know where to shop. If you shop at Target, you can use your Red Card discount on Disney gift cards that you can then use on purchasing theme park tickets. This gives you a roundabout way to give yourself a little discount on admission. Occasionally, warehouse chains like Costco and Sam’s Club run special deals on Disney gift cards which can also be used on theme park admission.

Current Discounts on Disney World Tickets

Even if you aren’t in the Florida resident or military groups or have an Annual Pass, there are usually other ways to save on theme park admission. Be on the lookout for discounts directly from Disney, as they tend to happen at least a couple times each year.

For example, 2025 includes great ticket discounts. Here are current ways to save on admission:

50% Off on Kids Tickets: You can purchase a 3-day or longer kids (ages 3-9) standard ticket for 50% off. This deal is available for visits beginning May 27 through September 20, 2025.
3-Day, 3-Park Ticket: Get a 3-day, 3-park ticket starting at $89 per day ($267 total, plus tax) for visits starting on April 6 through September 22, 2025. This ticket is for admission to EPCOT, Disney’s Hollywood Studios and Disney’s Animal Kingdom (one theme park per day, not valid for admission to Magic Kingdom).
