Disneyland raises prices on peak demand days: How much will your visit cost?

The Walt Disney Company announced an increase in ticket prices for its theme parks in Southern California, which include Disneyland and California Adventure.

The highest prices, generally on weekends and holidays, will increase by 6.2 percent, reaching 206 dollars per day.

On the other hand, the most economical entry will remain at 104 dollars, unchanged since 2019, and will be available for at least 15 days in January and February, the digital page of CNBC reported.

This increase, which affects different levels of admissions, follows a demand-based model. Intermediate tickets will rise between 7 and 12, representing an increase of between 5.9 and 6.5 percent.

In addition, the annual passes for the Magic Key program will also experience an increase of between 100 and 125 dollars, depending on the type of pass.

-New ticket prices:

Most expensive ticket (days of highest demand): $206

Cheapest entry (low demand days): $104

Intermediate tickets: Increase from 7 to 12 depending on demand

This price adjustment comes in a context where consumers are already criticizing the high cost of tickets and accommodations at Disney parks.

However, the company has tried to offer discounts for those who visit during low-demand periods. For example, tickets for children at 50 will be available starting October 22 to be used from January 7.

Despite the increases, Disney continues to offer promotional options such as hotel stays with up to a 20 percent discount starting in January, and various ticket and dining options to cater to the needs of families.

For its part, the Walt Disney World resort in Orlando, Florida, has not announced any changes in prices, although increases for 2025 were already implemented in February of this year.

In 2023, a survey by the online lending company LendingTree confirmed that there are people willing to go into debt in order to visit one of the Walt Disney World parks.

The American company surveyed 1,550 consumers, and 18 percent of them confirmed that they incurred debts to visit Disney theme parks.
