Canadians will feel the pinch as Disney World set to hike ticket prices

Canadians who want to plan a family trip to Walt Disney World Resort next year will need to save more for tickets, depending on when they want to visit.

Disney World is hiking one-day, single-park ticket prices during peak times later this year and next year.

This week, the theme park in Florida released its bookings for the first 10 months of 2027. While the starting price for standard one-day, one-park tickets is the same, the price during peak times for Disney World's most in-demand park will increase by 10 per cent in 2027 compared to 2025's highest prices.

Peak times include holidays like Christmas, Valentine's, and Halloween, and you can see the spike in prices around those times on the theme park's ticketing calendar.

How much more could you have to pay to visit Disney World?

In 2025, Disney World ticket prices during peak times for guests aged 10 and older ranged from US$174 to US$199 (C$237 to C$271).

Ticket prices vary depending on the date you go and which park you visit. Disney's Animal Kingdom is the cheapest, followed by EPCOT, Hollywood Studios, and then Magic Kingdom.

The Happiest Place on Earth experiences high demand during the holidays, which is why it paused sales on one-day, single-park tickets to Magic Kingdom for New Year's Eve last year.

Currently, the least expensive tickets start at US$119 (C$162) for Animal Kingdom. Over the holidays this year, Canadians can expect to pay US$209 (C$285) to explore the in-demand park, Magic Kingdom. That's about C$15 more than the cost last year.
