UPDATE 3: For complete info on the new ticket pricing at Disneyland and Walt Disney World including calendars of Value, Regular, and Peak, see our guide here.
UPDATE 2: There will be no changes to Annual Passes at this time. There was most recently a reorganization and price increase for Walt Disney World and Disneyland Resort Annual Passes last October.
UPDATE: We are learning more about how the new seasonal pricing will work. According to The Los Angeles Times, Disneyland pricing will be broken into three categories: value, regular, and peak. As of today, a one-day, one park ticket to Disneyland costs $99. Beginning tomorrow, a “value” day ticket will be $95, a “regular” day ticket will be $105, and a “peak” day ticket will be $119.
Meanwhile, The Orlando Sentinel reports that Walt Disney World value days will start at their current prices: $105 for Magic Kingdom and $97 for the other three parks. Regular pricing for WDW will be $110 for Magic Kingdom and $102 for the others. Finally, peak times — like spring break season beginning on March 11 — will see one-day tickets to Magic Kingdom going for $124 while other WDW parks will cost $114.
The Times says Disney estimates that for Disneyland 30% of the days will be designated as “value”, with 44% being “regular” and 26% being “peak.” The Sentinel says 29% of days will be “peak” for Walt Disney World Additionally Disney says that a calendar that let’s guests look at prices eight to 11 months in advance will be available.
Previously:
Sources at Disney are confirming to us that both Walt Disney World and Disneyland one-day admission tickets will be transitioning to a seasonal pricing scheme. This change is scheduled to take place on Sunday along with some other ticket pricing changes.
The new structure will mean that a one-day park ticket to visit during designated off-peak days will be cheaper than a ticket to visit during holidays or other busy times. Disney recently unveiled a somewhat similar pricing method when it announced on-sale dates for Shanghai Disneyland.
This story is developing and we will update when more information and details become available.
