How Much Are Walt Disney World Tickets?
By Jennifer Davis
Planning a trip to Walt Disney World? One of the first things you’ll want to know is how much tickets cost. Whether you’re going for a quick weekend getaway or a longer vacation, understanding Disney ticket prices can help you plan and save. In this post, I’ll break down the cost of Walt Disney World tickets and share some tips on getting the best deal.
What Affects Walt Disney World Ticket Prices?
Disney World tickets don’t have a set price. Instead, they vary based on several factors:
- Date – Disney uses dynamic pricing, so tickets cost more on busy days (like holidays and weekends) and less on slower days (like midweek or off-season).
- Ticket Length – The more days you buy, the cheaper the cost per day. For example, a 6-day ticket costs much less per day than a 3-day ticket.
- Add-Ons – Options like Park Hopper (which lets you visit multiple parks in one day) or Park Hopper Plus (which adds water parks and other attractions) can raise the price.
A Quick Guide to Disney World Ticket Prices
Here’s a basic look at Walt Disney World ticket prices:
- A 1-Day Base Ticket starts at $109 (but can go up to $159, depending on the date).
- A 3-Day Base Ticket starts at $362.13, or $120.71 per day.
- A 6-Day Base Ticket starts at $539.88, or $89.98 per day.
(Notice how the price per day goes down the longer you stay?)
When you add options like Park Hopper, expect to pay more. But don’t worry—if you’re staying longer, you’ll get more bang for your buck!
Should You Buy Tickets Separately or Get a Package?
If you’re wondering whether it’s better to buy tickets alone or as part of a package, the answer is: packages offer more flexibility.
Benefits of a Disney World Package:
- You won’t have to pay for tickets in full upfront.
- You can cancel or modify your tickets without penalty (up to 30 days before arrival).
Packages also allow you to combine tickets with a Disney hotel stay, giving you access to extra perks like early park entry and free parking at the theme parks. - On the other hand, if you purchase tickets separately, they’re non-refundable and non-transferable, and you’ll need to pay for them in full at the time of purchase.
What’s the Cheapest Time to Visit Disney World?
If you’re flexible with your travel dates, visiting Disney World during off-peak months can save you money. Some of the cheapest and least crowded months include:
- January
- May
- Late August through October
These times are great for those who want to avoid the crowds and take advantage of lower prices!
How Many Days Should You Spend at Disney World?
If you’re asking how many days you should spend at Walt Disney World, I recommend at least a 3-Day Park Hopper ticket for a quick trip. This gives you the flexibility to hop between parks in one day and see more in a shorter time.
For a longer stay, go for a 4-Day Base Ticket (or more) to comfortably visit each of Disney’s four theme parks without rushing.
