Back in September, the Disney Parks Blog announced that a new ticketing structure and vacation planning platform would launch in October. That day has arrived and along with it, some price increases.
What’s happening:
- Beginning today, Walt Disney World has a launched a new ticket pricing structure that is date-based.
- Under this new structure, 1-day tickets are valid only for they day they are purchased.
- Guests purchasing tickets for 2-days or more must use them within a select time frame, whereas previously, multi-day tickets expired 14 days after their first use.
- For added convenience, guest can upgrade each ticket to a flexible start date ticket should they like a little more freedom with their planning schedule.
- Park Hopper Option and other additional add-ons also remain available.
The Disney Parks Blog points out that some pricing has decreased, increased, and stayed the same:
Compared to previous pricing, some tickets have decreased, increased or stayed the same, depending on the start date and length of the ticket. For example, a guest purchasing a 3-day ticket with a start date of Feb. 10, 2019 will now actually pay $4 less per day than they would have before. A Guest purchasing a 6-day ticket with a start date of this Thanksgiving will now pay a little more – an average of $5 per day – since it’s one of the most popular times of year to visit
New Pricing:
- Please note adult ticket prices apply to guests 10 years of age and older. Child ticket prices apply to guests 3-9 years of age. Children under 3 years of age do not need a ticket.
- With the date-based pricing now in place, we’re giving a sample of the new single day and 10-day ticket pricing for 1 park per day tickets and for Park Hopper Option tickets.
- These are the highest and lowest prices guests will pay per day of their visit. Disney’s ticket calendar goes through December 16 of 2019.
- The more days purchased, the less it costs for each day.
- Along with ticket pricing changes, theme park parking prices are now $25 per vehicle.
