We love Disney World…but that doesn’t mean we love its prices.

There’s no beating around the bush — a Disney World vacation in 2025 is going to be EXPENSIVE. This is not exactly a shocking statement, as we’ve dabbled PLENTY in the luxuries the resort has to offer. However, each year, those prices only increase more and more, and appears 2025 will NOT be an exception. 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!

Disney World is gonna get ya with some sneaky price increases, so we’re making sure you’re aware of these before your next trip. Without further ado, here are some costs you need to budget for in 2025!

Lightning Lane Prices

Like everything else in Disney World, you should be ready for prices to go up a tick for both Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Lightning Lane Single Pass. This past January, we already saw some price hikes for Lightning Lane Multi Pass.

However, late last year, Disney World introduced Lightning Lane Premier Pass, a skip-the-line ticket add-on that grants one-time entry into EVERY Lightning Lane entry in a given park for one price. This option eliminates the need to monitor Lightning Lane availability and make new Lighting Lane reservations throughout the day, granting the ability to simply show up at an attraction and enter the Lightning Lane. It sounds great, but your smile may turn to a frown when you see the prices…

The Premier Pass prices per person, per day are as follows:

• Magic Kingdom: $329-$449 plus tax
• Disney’s Animal Kingdom: $129-$199 plus tax
• EPCOT: $169-$249 plus tax
• Disney’s Hollywood Studios: $269-$349 plus tax

Keep in mind, this is without a park-hopping option, which could become available at some point.

This new pass option may not be heavily utilized among guests, but if you choose to buy the Lightning Lane Premier Pass and have a few people in your party, be prepared to drop $1,000 or more.

Ticket Prices

Disney keeps hurting our feelings (and bank accounts) with its annual ticket price increase.

Last fall, Disney announced prices would increase in the $10-$30 range for single-day tickets and park-hopper add-ons in late 2025. This is a trend that, unfortunately, isn’t very shocking.

Annual Pass Prices

Sticking with the theme of ticket prices, Disney World Annual Passes have also gone up in price this year.

Last October, Disney revealed that Passholder prices would go up. The new (and old) prices are as follows:

• 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)

The Disney Incredi-Pass is the biggest jump, but the other increases are no small potatoes, especially when you account for all these prices in addition to other hidden costs adding up to take you over budget.

Food Prices

The price increase “fun” isn’t limited to tickets — food prices have also gone up this year.

We already noticed menu prices increasing at several hotel spots around Disney World, with a variety of menu items at quick service spots, table service restaurants, and pool bars going up in price. We’ve also seen prix fixe prices go up at places like Artist Point and ‘Ohana.

Unfortunately, the price hikes don’t stop with theme park snacks. Disney World quietly raised prices on tons of snacks in the parks, such as popcorn, Mickey pretzels, DOLE Whip, and more. Again, these weren’t major increases, but as we previously mentioned, it always adds up, otherwise they wouldn’t make the changes in the first place.

Of course, theme park restaurants are also getting more expensive across all four parks.

We noticed that the majority of the theme park quick-service restaurants seemed to be affected in addition to some sit-down restaurants. Once again, the price increases don’t pop out as they’re only a few cents or bucks but be advised that if you go to eat with the same budget you had in 2024, you’ll need to adjust one way or another.

Merch and General Costs

We’re not going to sugarcoat it — with life in general getting more expensive, Disney won’t be an outlier. If you’re expecting everything to be the same price in 2025 as it was in years prior, you’re going to be let down.

From subtle hotel cost increases to merchandise like MagicBand and MagicBand+ taking up significant budget, there are a lot of costs you may not factor in before your visit.

Over planning can dampen your vacation, but planning around a budget, doing your homework on costs before your trip, and sticking to your budget can help you stay on track with how much you’re comfortable spending at Disney World.
