Disney World days are NOT created equal.
Main Street at Disney World
Disney World is already expensive as is, and it’s about to get even pricier in 2025. Disney World just released its pricing schedule through October 2025, and we can confirm single-day tickets will be more expensive in 2025 than they were this year. If you’re looking to avoid some of those more expensive days (which can also feature bad crowds), you’ve come to the right place!
We’re here to help you navigate the price increases by sharing some 2025 dates you should likely avoid if you’re trying to budget and not overspend on a Disney vacation.
Scanning in!
The previous price range for single-park, one-day adult tickets used to be $109, but the lowest will be $119 in 2025. To highlight which 2025 dates will have an even higher base, we put together a list based on 1-day, 1-park adult ticket pricing, and, an important note, these prices are just the starting point for the overall day. That means other parks can be more expensive and could later increase in price. The following dates feature ticket prices starting at $169.99 per ticket:
- February 3rd through February 5th, 2025
- February 14th through February 22nd, 2025
- March 15th and 16th, 2025
- March 28th through March 30th, 2025
- April 4th through April 6th, 2025
- April 18th through April 20th, 2025
- April 25th through April 27th, 2025

By comparison, the February dates this year ranged from $139 to $164+, the 2024 March dates range from $154 to $164+, and the 2024 April dates range from $154 to $164+. These dates being pricier than the rest of the year (at least through October) make some sense. February can play host to several national cheer and dance events and tournaments to supplement what has historically been a down period for tourism, and March and April give way to Spring Break vacations, some of the busiest days at Disney World.
Spring Break crowds
Another important thing to keep in mind when looking at these dates is that those prices are for the cheapest park of the day. If you want to visit a more expensive park, tack on a Park Hopper option, and add Genie+ (and Genie+ surge pricing), your total is going to look vastly different than what we’re showing you.
Pirates of the Caribbean
The days you should try to avoid aren’t limited to the later winter and spring. Disney only released the pricing through October, but history shows us the holiday season (sometimes including Halloween) can be some of the most expensive days of the year to visit. From Late October all the way through the end of the year, you should expect bigger crowds and higher prices until we reach the new year and the cycle starts all over again.
Christmas in Magic Kingdom

Hi, do you know why February 3rd-5th is most expensive? We’re about to book 2 weeks and our final days land during this period. I’ve been researching for hours and can’t see any event during this period. The cheer championships is between 7th-10th from what I’ve seen, is this incorrect? Thank you
I have been researching also as I will be there at that time of February 3-6. I don’t see anything
