Disneyland Raises Ticket Prices: What Visitors Need to Know (October 2025)
Disneyland Resort has officially increased ticket prices across nearly all categories, marking its annual adjustment to reflect operational costs, seasonal demand, and expanded offerings. The changes, effective October 8, 2025, impact single-day tickets, multi-day passes, Magic Key annual passes, and add-ons like Park Hopper and Lightning Lane.
📈 Single-Day Ticket Price Changes
Disneyland uses a seven-tier seasonal pricing system for single-day tickets. Here's how the new prices compare:
| Tier | Previous Price | New Price | % Increase |

| Tier 0 (least busy days) | $104 | $104 | 0% |
| Tier 1 | $126 | $129 | +2.4% |
| Tier 2 | $142 | $149 | +4.9% |
| Tier 3 | $164 | $169 | +3% |
| Tier 4 | $180 | $184 | +2.2% |
| Tier 5 | $196 | $199 | +1.5% |
| Tier 6 (peak holidays) | $206 | $224 | +8.7% |
Notably, Tier 6 tickets—valid during high-demand periods like Christmas and New Year’s—now cost $224, a record high. The lowest-priced Tier 0 ticket remains unchanged at $104, a price held since 2019.

| 2-Day | $330 | $335 |
| 3-Day | $415 | $425 |
| 4-Day | $474 | $480 |
| 5-Day | $511 | $520 |
The five-day Park Hopper ticket now costs $655, up $39 from last year.
🔄 Magic Key Annual Pass Updates
Disneyland’s Magic Key program—its annual pass system—was also affected:
| Pass Type | Previous Price | New Price | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Inspire Key | $1,749 | $1,899 | +$150 |
| Believe Key | $1,374 | $1,474 | +$100 |
| Enchant Key | $974 | $974 | No change |
| Imagine Key | $599 | $599 | No change |
Disney has paused new purchases of the Inspire and Believe Keys, though current holders may renew at the new rates.
🚀 Add-Ons: Park Hopper & Lightning Lane
Park Hopper Add-On (1-Day Tickets):
Tier 0: $70
Tier 1–2: $80
Tier 3–4: $90
Tier 5–6: $100
Lightning Lane Multi Pass:
Advance purchase: $34
Same-day purchase: Variable, based on demand
Premier Pass: Up to $449
Magic Key holders still receive a 25% discount on Lightning Lane Multi Pass but must wait until the day of their visit to purchase.
🅿️ Parking & Operational Costs
Parking rates increased by $5 across all tiers. Disney cited rising operational costs and wage increases for cast members as key reasons behind the price adjustments. A recent $233 million settlement also addressed wage disputes under Anaheim’s Measure L, which mandates a $20.52 minimum wage for resort-area workers.
💡 How to Save
Despite the hikes, there are still ways to save:
- Book during Tier 0 days (now expanded to 46 days annually)
- Use authorized third-party sellers like Get Away Today to lock in older prices
- Take advantage of resident offers and bundled vacation packages
