It’s not easy keeping up with all the changes that happen around the Disney parks — but that’s why we’re here.
We recently shared hundreds of price increases in Disney World on just about everything from dining to Disney Genie+ to special experiences, and now it looks like even more updates are coming to Disney World.
Disney recently shared that beginning on December 8th, pricing for certain ticket add-ons will vary by date. Essentially, this means that depending on when you decide to visit the parks — select add-ons will be subject to surge pricing.
A Disney spokesperson shared that this change will apply to the Park Hopper ticket add-on, so depending on when you’re visiting a Park Hopper ticket may cost you more if it’s a popular day or a weekend.
We’ll continue to monitor any additional Disney World changes, so be sure to stay tuned to AllEars for the latest!

I used to enjoy Park Hopper so I could challenge myself to completely walk through all four parks in a single day. Or so I could ride a ride like Soarin early every day and then meet my family in another park (again a challenge to see how many times I could ride Soarin during a visit), but since you can’t use the park hopper feature until later in the day, it is simply not worth the extra money.
Annual passes are going up a lot too. But with Universal’s annual pass after 4PM your AP gives you front of the line status as does staying at a deluxe resort. We are thinking bout moving to Florida and saw this when “shopping” AP rates at both WDW and Universal.
Yes. I too use to spend my entire trip at just the World. No longer, it’s time to look beyond Disney.
I have reservations December 5 – 9 WITH Park Hopper, will they still honor the price I paid for originally?
Hi David. Yes, you already have tickets that have been paid for. This should go into effect for any new tickets purchased.
There’s a flip side to applying surge pricing for the park hopper add-on….or for that matter, charging a fee to park hop. In the past, we took advantage of this program and planned our whole day and night activities at (2) parks and spent $$$ …now we target one park..and spend $$$ with the remaining amount of time outside Disney property…spending $$$
