It was inevitable.
Walt Disney World is increasing single-day ticket prices, the company said Saturday.
- Magic Kingdom tickets: $107, $115 and $124 (depending on season)
- Other parks: $99, $107 and $119 (depending on season)
- Attendance was down in 2016
Starting Sunday, a one-day ticket during "regular" days will cost $107 for adults, up from $102. During the “peak” times, visitors can expect to pay $119, up from $114. A ticket during "value" days, when attendance is expected to be lower, will cost $99, up from $97. These prices are for tickets at Epcot, Disney's Hollywood Studios and Animal Kingdom.
At the Magic Kingdom, prices for a one-day ticket during peak season will remain at $124. However, prices for value and regular season ticket will increase. Visitors can expected regular tickets to rise to $115, up from $110. Value day tickets will now cost $107 for adults, $101 for children.
And getting an annual pass will cost a little more as well. A Florida-resident Gold Pass, which has blockout dates, will cost $559, up from $549. A Florida-resident Platinum Pass has increased $30 to $679. The non-Florida-resident Platinum Plus and Platinum passes have increased as well, now $869 and $779, respectively.
Prices do not include tax.
Last year, Disney introduced seasonal one-day ticket pricing, meaning tickets would cost more during certain times of the year.
According to officials, the goal of the seasonal pricing structure is to entice people to visit the parks during times that are not as busy.
If you're looking for a way to save, Disney is offering $20 off the online purchase of a 3-day or more ticket.
The price hike comes months before Disney is scheduled to open Pandora: The World of Avatar at Animal Kingdom.
In 2016, Disney reported lower attendance numbers at its domestic parks.
