What’s one of the most unfortunate things about being a Disney fan? The fact that it’s EXPENSIVE.

Going on Disney World vacations frequently can add up quick, and each year, things seem to get pricier. We’re no strangers to Disney price increases, but back in October, Disney World announced a BUNCH of them. We’ve rounded up a full list so that you’re prepared going into your next trip!

Hotel Restaurant Price Increases

One of the biggest price updates is that menu prices have increased at a BUNCH of hotel spots around Disney World. A variety of menu items at quick service spots, table service restaurants, and pool bars have gotten more expensive. 

Most of the price changes are for a la carte items and they only increase by a few cents or dollars, but there are a few changes to prix fixe meals as well, like a price increase at Artist Point and ‘Ohana.

Hotel Valet Parking

Valet parking is available at the Deluxe Resorts in Disney World, as well as Coronado Springs Resort. It’s a nice luxury to add to your trip if you don’t want to hunt for your car in the parking lot, but it just got more expensive!

Previously, valet parking was $39 per vehicle, per night, but now that has increased to $42. At this time, regular parking overnight at the resorts has remained a complimentary offering to those staying there.

Classic Snacks

It’s not a trip to Disney World without the classic snacks! Whether you’re a Mickey Pretzel person or a Dole Whip stan, there are some treats that you’ll spot all OVER the place during your vacation. And unfortunately, many of them recently went up in price.

Disney World quietly raised prices on many snacks in the parks, including items like popcorn, Mickey pretzels, Dole Whip, ice cream, and more. Most of these were only slight increases, but they can make a big impact if you’re snacking with a large group or planning to order a lot of eats during your trip.

Theme Park Restaurants

But it wasn’t just the hotel restaurants that got some price hikes in October — many menu items increased in cost at the theme parks as well! We saw these changes affect dozens of spots across all four parks.

The majority of the theme park quick service restaurants seemed to be affected, as well as a few table service locations. Once again, prices mostly increased by a few cents or dollars on each item.

Disney World Annual Passes

For you returning Disney World fans, you may have noticed that prices on Disney World Annual Passes have gone up across the board. Here’s a look at the updated pricing along with the previous pricing:

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

Pricing increased slightly across three of the four tiers for Annual Pass renewals — only Incredi-Pass holders have the same renewal price as before. Make sure to do the math before your next Disney trip to see if these Annual Pass prices will really help your family save!

2025 Disney World Tickets

In a similar vein, prices went up for Disney World theme park tickets for 2025. Earlier this year, when the calendar was released through October 2025, we noticed that there was a change in prices, but now that the calendar has been updated through the end of the year, we know that there will be price increases for November and December 2025 as well. 

In November and December 2025, one-day, one-park ticket prices will start between $159 and $174 depending on the date and park you choose. If we compare this year to next year, on Thanksgiving Day 2025, a Park Hopper Ticket will cost $264 — compared to the same day in 2024 costing $253.

Character Dining

And last but not least, we’ve got to talk about character dining! We already mentioned the increases at restaurants, but character meals are some of the most popular places to eat, and definitely deserve their own note. Spots like Tusker House, Akershus, Garden Grill, Cinderella’s Royal Table, and Chef Mickey’s all saw increases in their base prices. 

For these establishments, you’ll pay one price for adults and one for children, with food served either buffet, family-style, or as a prix fixe menu. So, unfortunately, there aren’t really any “hacks” to eat here for cheap. Keep that in mind when planning your trip!

We’ll keep you in the loop with any more price increases or updates from Disney World, so stay tuned to DFB for the latest!
