While 2025 isn’t over yet, it’s never too early to start planning ahead for your next Walt Disney World vacation!
Especially given the fact that the resort is currently in a state of change, some travelers are already looking ahead to 2026. So, what will next year bring for the “Most Magical Place on Earth”? Perhaps unsurprisingly, some price increases.
First, let’s look at theme park tickets. On the surface, it may seem like ticket prices didn’t change between 2025 and 2026, as the overall range for single-day tickets remains $119-$199.
Specifically, when divided by park, the ranges are as follows:
- Magic Kingdom: $139 to $199
- EPCOT: $129 to $184
- Disney’s Hollywood Studios: $139 to $194
- Disney’s Animal Kingdom: $119 to $179
In fact there are technically two decreases on the above list as the Magic Kingdom’s least expensive days fell from $144 to $139, and EPCOT’s most expensive single day tickets went from $194 to $184.
However, thanks to Disney’s dynamic pricing can sometimes cause a schism between perception and reality. While the ranges are roughly the same as 2019, many dates see higher prices within those ranges, meaning most days will see price increases on Disney World tickets. For example, 25 of 31 days in January 2026 have a higher “highest price” than their counterpart in 2025. The theme continues through the majority of the year, with the glaring exception of July, August, and September, when most days are at the higher end of the price spectrum but slightly lower than their 2025 counterparts.
Beyond park tickets, the piece of the Disney Dining plan is also increasing in 2026.
The Quick Service Dining Plan, which provides 2 Quick-Service Meals (Quick-Service Meals include one Quick-Service Meal, including an Entrée OR Combo meal with a Non-alcoholic Beverage, 1 Snack or Non-Alcoholic Drink, and one Resort-Refillable Mug to each person over 3 years old on the plan cost $59.14 per night for adults and $24.70 for kids under 11 in 20925. Those prices rise to $60.47 and $26.16, respectively in 2026.
Meanwhile, the Standard Dining Plan, which offers one Table Service Meal (For breakfast, this includes an entree and non-alcoholic beverage OR one full buffet, for lunch/dinner, this includes a full buffet, or entree, a dessert, and a non-alcoholic beverage, one Quick-Service Meal (including an Entrée OR Combo meal with a Non-alcoholic Beverage), one Snack or Non-alcoholic Drink, and one Resort-Refillable Drink Mug to each person over 3 years old on the plan is raising from $97.70 per adult per night and $30.78 per child per night to $98.59 per adult and $31.94 per child.

Visited in January 2025. Prices are way too high. It will be a long time if ever we return.
Did they change the allowance of alcoholic beverages with quick service meals? I have always been able to get an alcoholic beverage with my meal and specialty drink for the kids. This is as my drink with my meal and not as a snack credit.
