Disneyland Resort has unveiled its new pricing structure for 2025, and while the magic remains, visitors will have to pay a little more to experience it. The California theme park announced increases across its top-tier daily tickets, annual passes, and parking fees, though the lowest-priced daily admission stays frozen at USD 104, the same since 2019.
Disneyland continues its dynamic pricing system, with ticket costs varying by demand. The highest-demand single-day ticket, known as Tier 6, will now cost USD 224, up from USD 206. Lower tiers have also seen small but noticeable increases, with Tier 1 priced at USD 129 (up from USD 126), Tier 2 at USD 149, Tier 3 at USD 169, Tier 4 at USD 184, and Tier 5 at USD 199. However, the park’s most affordable single-day ticket remains at USD 104, unchanged for several years.
Multi-day ticket bundles are also getting more expensive. A three-day, one-park ticket now costs around USD 425, roughly USD 10 higher than before, while a five-day pass has increased to USD 520, a USD 9 rise. The Park Hopper option, which allows access to both Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure on the same day, now ranges between USD 70 and USD 90, compared to the previous USD 65 to USD 75 range.
To balance out the price increases, Disneyland is introducing a special offer for California residents. Starting December 3, they can purchase a three-day Park Hopper pass for USD 249, valid on non-consecutive days between January 1 and May 21, 2026.
The park’s Magic Key annual passes are also seeing hikes. The Inspire Key, Disneyland’s top-tier annual pass, now costs USD 1,899, marking a USD 150 increase. The Believe Key has gone up by USD 100 to USD 1,474. Meanwhile, the Enchant and Imagine Keys remain at USD 974 and USD 599, respectively.
Even the popular Lightning Lane Multi Pass — Disneyland’s line-skipping service, has seen a bump. Guests now pay USD 34 per person per day when purchased in advance, compared to USD 32 previously. During peak periods, the price can rise even higher depending on demand.
Disney officials have attributed the price increases to rising labor costs, inflation, and ongoing park development projects. Five of Disneyland’s seven ticket tiers have seen price hikes of less than 3 per cent, suggesting the company is taking a relatively measured approach despite the adjustments.
The reaction from fans has been mixed. Some long-time visitors believe the higher prices could reduce crowding and make the experience smoother for dedicated fans. Others, however, are frustrated by what they see as yet another hit to affordability, particularly for families and locals who rely on annual passes.
Despite the backlash, Disneyland continues to report strong demand. Travel agencies and park analysts say bookings remain steady, and Disney’s theme park and experiences division continues to be one of the company’s strongest revenue drivers.
For now, it seems that the rising prices are unlikely to deter the millions of visitors who flock to the “Happiest Place on Earth” each year — even if the price of magic keeps inching higher.
