4 Price Increases to Plan for in Disney World in 2025

If you’re budgeting for a 2025 Disney World vacation, you need to be aware of some price increases.

It’s no secret that Disney World vacations aren’t cheap, and they aren’t getting more affordable any time soon. Price increases have been pretty consistent at Disney World over the years and there are a few you need to know about so you can properly budget before your next visit.

Some increases are pretty blatant while others are kind of sneaky. We’ll go over both types with four Disney World price increases to be aware of in 2025.

Starting us off are Lightning Lanes. Consisting of Lightning Lane Single Pass, Lightning Lane Multi Pass, and Lightning Lane Premier Pass, this paid skip-the-line service is subject to surge pricing, meaning (depending on when you go), you could see some significant price increases.

We are already anticipating some fluctuation and all indicators point to prices gradually rising over time.

Most notably, Premier Pass, which grants one-time entry into EVERY Lightning Lane entry in a given park for one price, is already pricey with rates as follows:

• Magic Kingdom: $329-$449 plus tax per person per day
• Disney’s Animal Kingdom: $129-$199 plus tax per person per day
• EPCOT: $169-$249 plus tax per person per day
• Disney’s Hollywood Studios: $269-$349 plus tax per person per day

Since the Premier Pass is still new, it’s probably going to undergo some serious evolution this year, possibly adding a park-hopping option — which, of course, would skyrocket costs.

Another given price increase is for ticket prices for both regular tickets and annual passes.

Last October, Disney World announced prices would increase in the $10-$30 range for single-day tickets and park-hopper add-ons in late 2025.  Disney World Annual Passes also went up in price:

• Disney Incredi-Pass: $1,549 (previously $1,449)
• Disney Sorcerer Pass: $1,079 (previously $999)
• Disney Pirate Pass: $829 (previously $799)
• Disney Pixie Dust Pass: $469 (previously $439)

These costs add up, especially when you factor in things like food and souvenirs.

Speaking of food — you guessed — those prices also went up in 2025.

We saw food prices go up last fall as well,  with a variety of menu items at quick service spots, table service restaurants, and pool bars going up in price. Prix fixe prices were also hit at places like Artist Point.

Theme park snacks, restaurant menus, and pretty much anything edible have been affected by price hikes. Some of these increases aren’t significant, but — like we said — everything adds up.

As we previously stated, we noticed that the majority of the theme park quick-service restaurants also saw small price increases, so be prepared to factor that into your budgets.

Finally, just expect to pay more for EVERYTHING. Parking, merch, hotels — you name it.

Disney’s annual inflation does not go unnoticed, and it’s something you should probably prepare for each visit.
