Disneyland ticket price hikes have been a regular occurrence in October for the past few years, and another hike could be coming soon as the Anaheim theme park prepares for its 70th anniversary celebration in 2025. There is sex.
According to MiceChat, “Disneyland raises ticket prices like clockwork every October.”
Based on recent history, Disneyland ticket price increases could occur in mid-October, between October 8th and 16th, according to Mickey Visit.
For the past five years, Disneyland’s annual price increases have been moved from the beginning of the calendar year to mid-October, in part due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Latest price increase date:
—January June 2019
—February November 2020
—October February 25, 2021
—October 2022 11
—October 2023 11
The highest price per day, one park ticket increased from $149 in 2019 to $154 in 2020, $164 in 2021, $179 in 2022 and $194 in 2023.
The most expensive ticket to Disneyland has increased in price from $6 to $15 a year over the past five years. The average increase in ticket prices tended to be in the 5% to 8% range.
The minimum price for a one-day park ticket remains unchanged from 2019 at $104.
Disneyland is expected to increase ticket prices in the second or third week of October, according to forecasts from theme park vacation planning site Mickey Visit.
Disneyland’s price increases have occurred on Oct. 11 for the past two years, Tuesdays in 2022 and Wednesdays in 2023. This year October 11th falls on a Friday.
Mickey Visit predicts that Disneyland ticket price increases will drop on Tuesdays or Wednesdays in the middle of the month, either October 8th or 9th or October 15th or 16th.
Disneyland typically runs discount campaigns right before announcing ticket price increases to soften the blow.
“As new discounts roll out, it will be a good indicator that price increases are on the horizon,” Mickey Visit founder Gavin Doyle said in an email.
If you’re planning a trip to Disneyland or Disney California Adventure over winter break or early next year, you can save money by purchasing your Disneyland or Disney California Adventure tickets now before the price increases.
Disneyland ticket prices increased 351% from $43 in 2000 to $194 in 2023. This was more than four times the most expensive day’s admission price in less than a quarter of a century.
