Disney Price Increase 2022
The new ticket prices of Disney World would be within a range of $109 to $159. Some of you must be wondering why there is a range of ticket prices and not one specific price.
This is for the fact that Disney World follows a date-specific pricing model. According to this, the price of each day varies depending upon the demand of that day for the prices.
The recent price changes have reflected upon certain tickets largely. The most affected ones are multi-day tickets for a single park and multi-day tickets for Park Hopper and Park Hopper Plus.
Let us have a closer look at the ticket price changes of Disney World.
Park Hopper, Multi-day Park Tickets
If you did not know, when you get yourself a park hopper, you would be able to access all of the 4 main parks on the same day. These four parks are Animal Kingdom, EPCOT, Hollywood Studios, and Magic Kingdom.
The Park Hopper ticket prices have also seen a hike. The price hike has been added to the tickets from and above the 5-day package.
The ticket prices have remained unchanged till the 4-day package ticket prices. Let us have a look at the unchanged ticket prices.
- 1 day – $174
- 2 days – $144
- 3 days – $131
- 4 days – $127
As mentioned, the ticket prices have seen a hike post the 4days package. Let us look at what the previous prices and the new prices are and the hike amount.
| No. of Days | Previous Price | Current Price | Difference in Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5 days | $107 per day | $108 per day | $5 ($1 increase per day) |
| 6 days | $91 per day | $92 per day | $6 ($1 increase per day) |
| 7 days | $80 per day | $81 per day | $7 ($1 increase per day) |
| 8 days | $73 per day | $74 per day | $8 ($1 increase per day) |
| 9 days | $67 per day | $68 per day | $9 ($1 increase per day) |
| 10 days | $62 per day | $64 per day | $20 ($2 increase per day) |
The price hike might seem less when you calculate it this way. However, the price hike would be evident when calculating it with the tax. The total price hike of the 10 days package is about $50.
Single-Park, Multi-Day Park Tickets
Multiday park tickets for a single park have remained unchanged, up to 3 days park tickets. The prices are before. They are as follows:
- $109 for 1 day
- $107 for 2 days
- $106 for 3 days
However, beyond this, the ticket prices have been raised. Let us have a look at what the new prices are.
| No. of Days | Previous Price | New Price | Change in Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4 days | $105 per day | $106 per day | $4 ($1 increase per day) |
| 5 days | $90 per day | $91 per day | $5 ($1 increase per day) |
| 6 days | $77 per day | $78 per day | $6 ($1 increase per day) |
| 7 days | $68 per day | $69 per day | $7 ($1 increase per day) |
| 8 days | $62 per day | $64 per day | $16 ($2 increase per day) |
| 9 days | $57 per day | $59 per day | $18 ($2 increase per day) |
| 10 days | $54 per day | $55 per day | $10 ($1 increase per day) |
The actual difference in price comes to notice when we calculate the full range price changes. This is where we also include the tax price.
Looking at the per-day change, we feel the hike is minimal. Hence, let us look at the price hike that has taken place once we calculate the total price.
| No of Days | Price then | Price now |
|---|---|---|
| 4 days | $434.83 - $596.74 | $447.70 - $596.74 |
| 5 days | $463.56 - $630.85 | $481.94 – $649.39 |
| 6 days | $477.79 - $645.91 | $496.43 - $672.25 |
| 7 days | $492.06 - $661.56 | $511.10 - $694.96 |

| 10 days | $553.69 - $703.65 | $581.02 – $753.42 |
The lowest price hike of a 10-day ticket package is quite low. However, comparing the ticket price increase of the high-end ticket for a 10 days package is quite a lot.
If you have a look, the price has increased from $703.65 to $753.42. The difference in the price is almost $50.
Price increase for other tickets
We have discussed previously that the ticket prices remain unchanged for the park tickets for a single day. However, there are certain days when they are charging more when you compare the ticket prices of the same day on the previous year.
Let us look at some of the examples keeping the month of March in view.
| Date | Price of the Single-Day Single-Park ticket this year (2022) | Price of the Single-Day Single-Park ticket last year (2021) | Difference in the prices of Single-Day Single-Park ticket |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1st March | $139 per ticket | $129 per ticket | $10 per ticket |
| 3rd March | $134 per ticket | $126 per ticket | $8 per ticket |
| 14th March | $144 per ticket | $136 per ticket | $8 per ticket |
Hence, you can see that there is clearly a noticeable price hike when you compare it with the last year’s price.
Let us have some more examples of some dates of September 2022.
| Date | Price of the Single-Day Single-Park ticket this year (2022) | Price of the Single-Day Single-Park ticket last year (2021) | Difference in the prices of Single-Day Single-Park ticket |
