See all of Disney's theme park ticket prices and discounts here. We offer a variety of ticket options that provide a great value, and find that most guests select multi-day tickets that offer additional savings.ĭespite the increase, Disney noted Florida resident three- and four-day passes are still the same price as last year. Why the constant increases? We asked Walt Disney World spokesman Bryan Malenius, who said the competitive prices reflect "the high quality and breadth of experiences we offer." Universal raised its price for a one-day, one-park ticket to $96. Historically, when one Central Florida theme park has increased its prices, the others followed a short time later. Just a year ago, Disney tickets surpassed $90 for the first time ever, shortly after Universal Orlando became the first theme park resort in the world to charge $90 for a one-day ticket. An A-ticket would get you a ride on Cinderella's Golden Carousel, while the most popular attractions, like Space Mountain and the Haunted Mansion, were E-ticket rides.ĭisney dropped the ticket book system by 1982, but even then, the price of admission was still just $15 to get into either the Magic Kingdom or the newly-opened EPCOT Center.

That may seem like next to nothing, but at the time, both Disney World and Disneyland in California sold books of tickets guests needed to get on rides. If you think that's low, go back 20 years to 1994, when Disney increased its one-day ticket prices to $36.īut for a real shocker, take a look at the price of admission on Day 1: In October 1971, a one-day ticket to the Magic Kingdom cost just $3.50.
