Walt Disney World ticket prices to increase on August 3

I posted an article earlier this week about a rumoured price rise tomorrow – Sunday August 3 – and it’s now official.

At Walt Disney World, tickets for adults (aged 10 and older) will rise from $71 to $75, while tickets for children aged 3 to 9 will increase from $60 to $63. The park hopper option will also increase from $45 to $50.

Over at Disneyland one-day prices will rise from $66 to $69 for adults (aged 10 and older), and from $56 to $59 for children aged 3 to 9.

Disney also raised the price of its “Magic Your Way” multiday-ticket packages; the top deal, a 10-day adult Magic Your Way ticket, now costs $237, or $23.70 a day, up 5.3 percent. The Park Hopper add-on, which allows ticket holders to visit more than one park each day, will cost $50 for up to 10 days, a $5 increase. The Water Park Fun & More add-on option remains $50.

Don’t forget that the more days you can afford to buy at once, the more affordable each day is – just don’t forget the non-expiring option if you won’t use up all the days during one trip.
