Ticket Price Increases Announced at Walt Disney World Resort

After several weeks of speculation, it's official. You'll be paying more for single-day and multi-day tickets at Walt Disney World. A one-day ticket for the Magic Kingdom is now $105 plus tax. The ticket price for the other theme parks has also increased to $97 plus tax.

One-day Magic Kingdom ticket is now $105 plus tax

Disney announced the price increase on February 21 and it was official on Sunday, February 22.

The price increase for the Magic Kingdom tickets is a 6 percent increase. Last year's price increase took the cost of a one-day ticket for the Magic Kingdom up to $99 plus tax.

The Park Hopper option for a single day ticket has also increased this year from $35 up to $50.

Multi-day tickets for all theme parks are increasing by $1 to $2 per day while the Park Hopper option on mulit-day tickets is going up by $4.

Another change announced with the ticket increase: the "No Expiration" option is gone forever.

Passholder prices also increased. The cost of an Annual Pass is now $654, which is a $20 increase and Florida Resident Passes are now $529 up from $485.

In a statement release Saturday a Disney spokesperson said, "A day at a Disney park is unlike any other in the world, and there is a strong demand for our attractions and entertainment. We continually add new experiences, and many of our guests select multi-day tickets or annual passes which provide great value and additional savings."

Ten years ago, in 2005, a one-day ticket to the Magic Kingdom cost $59.75.
