Annual Pass: The New Numbers

Incredi-Pass

Available to all guests, not just Florida residents.

• Base: $1,629 → $1,749 (up $120, about 7.4%)
• Tax: $105.89 → $113.69
• Total: $1,734.89 → $1,862.69

Add-ons:

• Water Park & Sports: $1,738 → $1,858 (total $1,850.97 → $1,978.77)
• PhotoPass: $1,738 → $1,858 (total $1,850.97 → $1,978.77)
• PhotoPass + Water Park & Sports: $1,847 → $1,967 (total $1,967.06 → $2,094.86)

The top-tier Incredi-Pass with both add-ons now clears $2,094 out the door. That is the number worth sitting with.

Florida Resident Passes

• Base: $1,099 → $1,139 (up $40, about 3.6%)
• Total: $1,170.44 → $1,213.04

Pirate Pass

• Base: $869 → $909 (up $40, about 4.6%)
• Total: $925.49 → $968.09

Pixie Dust Pass

• Base: $489 → $499 (up $10, about 2%)
• Total: $520.79 → $531.44

Add-on pricing moved too:

• Sorcerer + Water Park & Sports: $1,208 → $1,248

• Sorcerer + both: $1,317 → $1,357
• Pirate + Water Park & Sports: $978 → $1,018

• Pixie Dust + PhotoPass: $598 → $608
• Pixie Dust + both: $707 → $717

Monthly Payments

Florida residents paying monthly see higher rates on new passes:

• Incredi-Pass (base): $127.50 → $138.15
• Incredi-Pass (one add-on): $137.17 → $147.82
• Incredi-Pass (both add-ons): $146.84 → $157.49
• Sorcerer Pass (base): $80.46 → $84.01
• Sorcerer Pass (one add-on): $90.13 → $93.68
• Sorcerer Pass (both add-ons): $99.81 → $103.36

• Pixie Dust Pass (one add-on): $35.99 → $36.88
• Pixie Dust Pass (both add-ons): $45.67 → $46.56

2027 Single-Day Tickets

Tickets are now on sale through December 31, 2027. Here is the highest single-day price at each park:

• Magic Kingdom: $229 (previously $219)
• EPCOT: $229 (previously $214)
• Disney’s Hollywood Studios: $214 (previously $209)
• Disney’s Animal Kingdom: $189 (previously $184)

Those are standard 1-day tickets for ages 10+, before tax, and they are the top of each park’s range — not what every day costs. Disney’s tickets are date-based, so the price you pay depends on when you go.

December Peak: 2026 vs 2027

The clearest apples-to-apples comparison is peak holiday pricing:

Magic Kingdom

December 2026 peak: $209 (Dec 19, 22–31) → December 2027 peak: $229 (Dec 25, 31). +$20 (9.6%)

EPCOT

December 2026 peak: $209 (Dec 31) → December 2027 peak: $229 (Dec 31). +$20 (9.6%)

Disney’s Hollywood Studios

December 2026 peak: $204 (Dec 19–31) → December 2027 peak: $214 (Dec 24–31). +$10 (4.9%)

Disney’s Animal Kingdom

December 2026 peak: $184 (Dec 19–31) → December 2027 peak: $189 (Dec 24–31). +$5 (2.7%)

One detail worth noticing: the number of peak days shrank. Magic Kingdom’s 2026 peak covered Dec 19 and 22–31. The 2027 peak hits only Dec 25 and 31. Hollywood Studios and Animal Kingdom both move from Dec 19–31 down to Dec 24–31. Higher ceiling, fewer days at the ceiling.

The Two-Year Pattern

This is the third October Annual Pass increase in a row.

October 23, 2024 — increases of $30 to $100 across all tiers:

• Pixie Dust Pass: $439 → $469
• Pirate Pass: $799 → $829
• Sorcerer Pass: $999 → $1,079
• Incredi-Pass: $1,449 → $1,549

October 8, 2025:

• Pixie Dust Pass: $469 → $489
• Pirate Pass: $829 → $869
• Sorcerer Pass: $1,079 → $1,099
• Incredi-Pass: $1,549 → $1,629

October 6, 2026: the increases above.

Cumulative effect on the Incredi-Pass: $1,449 → $1,749. That is $300, or 20.8%, in two years.

Three consecutive Octobers is no longer a coincidence. If you hold a pass, plan on an increase next October too. If you’re looking at a fall/winter trip in late 2027, I would recommend purchasing your tickets before Labor Day weekend to lock in the lowest price point. Disney historically raises prices in October, as it’s the start of their new fiscal year. The Disney financial calendar runs from October 1st to September 30th.

What Disney Said

Thomas Mazloum, chairman of Disney Experiences, told CNN ahead of the increases: “Our goal is to put guests at the center of our decision making, and that starts by listening to them.” He added that it “matters more now when families are watching every dollar, and we see it in the choices they make every day — in how they plan, in how far ahead.”

Reading that alongside a 7.4% Incredi-Pass increase is an exercise left to you. The Pixie Dust Pass moving only $10 and Animal Kingdom only $5 does suggest the entry-level tiers were deliberately protected while the top end absorbed the real increase. This pattern continues the pattern of Disney looking to use price points to control overall demand and crowds.

What to Actually Do

If you are renewing a pass: check your renewal rate rather than assuming it matches the new base price. Renewal pricing is typically its own number.

If you are buying a new pass: the increase is live. There is no window left.

If you are planning 2027: tickets are on sale for every date through December 31, 2027. Check the ticket calendar for your actual travel dates — the figures above are peak, and most days cost less.

If your dates are flexible: the narrowing of peak windows cuts both ways. Fewer peak days means more days priced below the ceiling, so shifting a December trip by a few days may save more in 2027 than it did in 2026.

If you are deciding between a pass and tickets: with single-day prices rising too, the break-even math has not shifted as much as the pass headline suggests. Run it on your own park days.

The Bottom Line

Annual Passes up 2% to 7.4%, with the Incredi-Pass taking a $120 hit and now sitting $300 above where it was two years ago. 2027 single-day tickets up at all four parks, peaking at $229 at Magic Kingdom and EPCOT.

Both are live. Three straight Octobers of pass increases means the pattern is the news as much as the numbers are.

I’m no stranger to Disney planning, as a Disneyland magic key holder and DVC member. I’m the person people ask for trip planning advice. But I had never been on a Disney cruise, and had heard great about Nate and decided to reach out. I’m so glad I did because we could not have been happier with our experience. His tips and insights were incredibly helpful, and he was incredibly responsive any time we had a question. Who do the Disney experts turn to when they need help? Nate, that’s who.

We’ll definitely be using him again.

Our experience working with Nate as our Disney vacation planner was exceptional. He was responsive and thorough. He gave us insights that made the trip go much more smoothly. We were able to really relax and focus on quality time as a family and have so much fun doing it! I will definitely reach out for any future trips.

Could not have wanted or expected more from Nate, our Distrips and More agent as we planned our 2025 Disney World trip. Nate was VERY responsive to emails and texts and more than willing to do whatever he could to guide us and answer our questions.  On several occasions I emailed him over the weekend not expecting a response until Monday but each time he responded before the weekend was over.  He even participated in a Zoom session with our group of five seniors as we planned our trip. He also helped us at the 11th hour when we added a family member to our travel group less than a month before our trip.  Without a doubt, I will reach out to Nate when I'm ready to plan my next trip to Disney World!

We are so thankful we used Nate to plan not only our first Disney trip, but also our second. He made the process so easy for us, especially for us since it was our first time going. There was a lot to consider and many decisions to make, such as where to stay, when to go, and what to experience. Nate really helped us narrow down what we wanted to do overall, but he didn’t stop there. He provided detailed guides to help us navigate the airport and find our transportation to the resort, as well as a guide to explore the resorts and make sure we saw the best Christmas decorations. One of the many amazing things he also did was set up our dinner reservations for us. This saved us so much stress and allowed us to get some of our top choices. From the moment we landed in Orlando to the moment we headed back home, he made sure everything went smoothly. You truly can’t go wrong with going to him for your next trip.

Nate was absolutely the best planner I have ever had.  Will most definitely be using him again.   He took care of everything and kept me on track.  Was so very helpful in making all the dining reservations and everything.   Can't thank him enough.   He made our trip completely stress free!

Nathan has been an amazing trip planner for me! So helpful and responsive. I am a very type A person -- so someone who is even more on top of their game than me -- is so so appreciated! Nathan has booked 3 trips for me (1 completed 2 pending) and it was perfection. Thanks again!

Nate has helped us with our vacation planning for the last couple of years and we couldn't be happier with his service and expertise. We've used other travel agents in the past and none of them have done as phenomenal a job to make sure every detail is taken care of as he has. Switching to Nate was one of the best decisions we've ever made. He's always quick to answer questions and works tirelessly to make sure we get everything we want from our trips. Plus, he's just a genuinely great person who is wonderful to work with. Whether you're planning a trip to Walt Disney World, Disneyland, a Disney Cruise, or any other vacation, Nate is the guy you want putting it all together! Five stars across the board!
