When you’re budgeting for a Walt Disney World vacation, one of the first questions you’ll find yourself asking is “How much do Disney World park tickets cost?” And, the answer isn’t quite as straightforward as it used to be.

Back in 2018, Disney changed to date-based ticketing which means that instead of just purchasing a ticket for a specific park that you plan to go to, you now have to purchase a ticket for a specific park for the exact date that you plan to be there. And, with this change came another new aspect of purchasing Disney World tickets – date-based pricing. So, now the price of a park ticket varies based on both the date and the park.

So, again, “How much are Disney World tickets?” We’re breaking down all of the Disney World ticket types you can choose from and how much your theme park tickets will cost in 2025.

Types of Disney World Tickets

Currently, there are five different Disney World theme park ticket options that you can choose from – the one park per day base ticket, the park hopper, the park hopper plus, the optional water park and sports add-on, and an annual pass. Here’s the difference between each:

One-Day Base Tickets

Base tickets are the most basic type of Disney World ticket. They allow you to visit one park per day allowing you to choose from Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, or Disney’s Animal Kingdom. The pricing of the ticket will vary based on the date that you plan to visit and the park. You can purchase base tickets for one to ten days, and the more days you purchase, the cheaper the per-day cost.

Park Hopper Tickets

Park Hopper tickets allow you to visit multiple parks in one day including Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, Disney’s Animal Kingdom. For example, you could start your day at Magic Kingdom and then hop over to EPCOT for the evening. Park Hopper tickets are more expensive than base tickets, but they give you more flexibility in your park visits.

Water Park and Sports Option

If you’re interested in visiting Disney World’s water parks or playing a round of golf, you can add the Water Park and Sports Option to your ticket. This option allows you to visit one theme park per day plus one of the following per day:

• Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon Water Park
• Disney’s Blizzard Beach Water Park
• ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex
• Disney’s Oak Trail Golf Course
• FootGolf at Disney’s Oak Trail
• Disney’s Fantasia Gardens Miniature Golf Course (one round; prior to 4:00 PM)
• Disney’s Winter Summerland Miniature Golf Course (one round; prior to 4:00 PM)

Park Hopper Plus Option

The Park Hopper Plus option combines the benefits of the Park Hopper ticket with the Water Park and Sports option. With this option, you can visit multiple parks in one day and also visit one of the following per day.

• Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon Water Park
• Disney’s Blizzard Beach Water Park
• ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex
• Disney’s Oak Trail Golf Course
• FootGolf at Disney’s Oak Trail
• Disney’s Fantasia Gardens Miniature Golf Course (one round; prior to 4:00 PM)
• Disney’s Winter Summerland Miniature Golf Course (one round; prior to 4:00 PM)

Note that tickets for Disney’s water parks, ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex, golf courses, and miniature golf courses are available for purchase separately if you do not want to go every day of your visit.

Annual Passes

If you’re a frequent visitor to Disney World, an annual pass might be a good option for you. Annual passes give you unlimited admission to the parks for a year (though blockout dates are applicable), as well as discounts on merchandise and dining. There are different levels of annual passes available, depending on how many blackout dates you’re willing to accept and how many parks you want to visit.

How Much Do Disney World Park Tickets Cost?

Now that we’ve covered the differences in the Disney World ticket types, here’s a breakdown of how much you can expect to pay for Disney World tickets. Keep in mind that park tickets can increase in cost at any moment, so the earlier you buy, the better. Disney often increases prices 1-2 times per year.

One-Day Base Ticket

In 2025, the base ticket price in Disney World is $119 per person for a one-day ticket. However, only a select number of days throughout the year are priced this low. The one-day per park base ticket varies in pricing depending on the time of year and the park you choose to visit with tickets ranging in price as noted below:

• Magic Kingdom: $139-$199
• EPCOT:  $129-$194
• Disney’s Hollywood Studios: $139-$194
• Disney’s Animal Kingdom: $119-$174

Multi-Day Ticket

If you plan to visit Disney World for multiple days, you can save money by purchasing a multi-day ticket. These tickets will still only give you access to one theme park per day, however, you can save up to $20 per ticket when you purchase 3-day or longer tickets online. Just note that this deal is not available at the ticket window so it’s important to purchase in advance.

Park Hopper

The cost for a Park Hopper ticket is typically around $80 more than a regular ticket and varies in price based on the date you plan to visit. In 2025, you can expect to pay between $198-$266 per person, per day for a Park Hopper ticket.

Park Hopper Plus

The cost for a Park Hopper Plus ticket is typically around $100 more than a regular ticket. In 2025, a Park Hopper Plus ticket costs between $218-$286 per person, per ticket depending on the day you are traveling.

Disney World Water Parks

If you only want to visit one of Disney World’s water parks, you can purchase a water park ticket separately from a theme park ticket. This allows you to visit one water park per day. The cost for a water park ticket is typically around $69 per person but the price may vary based on your travel dates.

Annual Passes

Disney World Annual Passes are priced on an annual basis (though monthly payment plans are available) with the passes with the least amount of blockout dates costing most. Here is how much each annual pass currently costs:

• Incredi-Pass – $1,549 per year
• Sorcerer Pass – $1,079 per year
• Pirate Pass – $829 per year
• Pixie Dust Pass – $469 per year

Note that the optional Disney PhotoPass and Water Park and Sports Option add-ons are $99 per add-on on top of the price of your annual pass.

2025 Disney World Ticket Prices Month-By-Month

Disney World’s date-based pricing structure can have a massive impact on the price of your park tickets. Typically, tickets are priced at their highest over weekends, holiday weekends, school break periods, and the holidays. Whereas,  Disney World tickets are cheapest in slower seasons (when it’s less crowded) and weekdays.
