Disney World on Tuesday revealed increases in theme-park ticket prices and said for the first time it will charge extra for one-day tickets based on which park a customer reserves.
Starting Dec. 8, the minimum one-day price for the Magic Kingdom will rise nearly 14% from $109 to $124 and reach a maximum of $189 during the nine-day Christmas holidays. The one-day price for Epcot will range from $114 to $179.
They are the first hikes in base ticket prices since 2018 as the resort continues to raise prices in other areas, causing some loyal fans to complain about the higher costs. Analysts say the company is following a trend of price increases imposed by other entertainment venues attributed to higher operating costs.
