Both of the iconic theme parks have increased their ticket prices [every year since the 1970s](http://www.travelandleisure.com/trip-ideas/disney-vacations/disney-world-ticket-costs-over-time). Now, "value" day tickets for the Magic Kingdom will increase $2, raising the price to $109 for adults and $103 for kids, beginning Sunday, [according the Associated Press](https://apnews.com/fa112076be3447baad04c1d7247a3bc8/Increased-prices-at-Disney-parks-in-Florida,-California). For "regular" time, tickets will increase $4, making the cost $119 for adults and $113 for children, and the "peak" price will be $129 for adults and $123 for kids. If you want to go to the Animal Kingdom, Epcot or Hollywood studios you'll have to pay more too. Those one-day "value" tickets are also increasing $2, raising the price to $102 for adults and $96 for kids. "Regular" time will be $114 for adults and $108 for kids, while "peak" time tops out at $122 for adults and $116 for kids. [Disneyland](http://time.com/5080665/disneyland-power-outage/?iid=sr-link7) ticket prices are seeing the biggest increases. The regular price of admission is going up from $7 to $117, while a single-day ticket "peak" ticket will cost you $11 extra at $135. The value ticket will still cost $97. Disney tickets [broke the $100 mark](http://money.cnn.com/2015/02/23/news/companies/disney-ticket-prices/index.html) three years ago, when single-day Magic Kingdom prices were upped $4, from $99 to $105. Flexible pricing was introduced in 2016 as a three-tiered choice to prevent overcrowding, offering a value option, regular option and peak price option Disney ticket prices aren't the only thing going up — the number of people visiting the theme parks is also on the rise. "Attendance at our domestic parks was up 6% in the quarter," said Christine M. McCarthy, chief financial officer of The Walt Disney Co. on the company's Q1 earnings call Feb.6, noting that "operating income was up 18%" over the prior year for its U.S. operations. ```json { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@graph": [ { "@type": "BreadcrumbList", "@id": "https://money.com/disney-world-disneyland-price-increase/#breadcrumb", "itemListElement": [ { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 1, "name": "Home", "item": "https://money.com" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 2, "name": "Lifestyle", "item": "https://money.com/lifestyle/" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 3, "name": "Travel", "item": "https://money.com/travel/" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 4, "name": "It Now Costs More to go to Disney World and Disneyland" } ] }, { "@type": "WebSite", "@id": "https://money.com/#website", "url": "https://money.com", "name": "Money", "publisher": { "@id": "https://money.com/#organization" } }, { "@type": "WebPage", "@id": "https://money.com/disney-world-disneyland-price-increase/#webpage", "url": "https://money.com/disney-world-disneyland-price-increase/", "name": "It Now Costs More to go to Disney World and Disneyland", "isPartOf": { "@id": "https://money.com/#website" }, "datePublished": "2018-02-11T18:24:08.000Z", "mainEntity": { "@id": "https://money.com/disney-world-disneyland-price-increase/" }, "inLanguage": "en-US", "breadcrumb": { "@id": "https://money.com/disney-world-disneyland-price-increase/#breadcrumb" }, "dateModified": "2024-05-16T13:00:21.000Z" }, { "@type": "Article", "headline": "It Now Costs More to go to Disney World and Disneyland", "articleSection": "Lifestyle", "image": [ { "@type": "ImageObject", "url": "https://img.money.com/2018/02/disney-ticket-prices-increase.jpg", "width": 3000, "height": 2000, "caption": "Nick Foles of The Philadelphia Eagles Celebrates at Walt Disney World" } ], "author": [ { "@type": "Person", "name": "Alix Langone", "url": "https://money.com/author/alix-langone/", "@id": "https://money.com/author/alix-langone/#author" } ], "publisher": "https://money.com/#organization", "datePublished": "2018-02-11T18:24:08.000Z", "description": "Tickets prices went up again in 2018 at the iconic theme parks.", "abstract": "Tickets prices went up again in 2018 at the iconic theme parks.", "@id": "https://money.com/disney-world-disneyland-price-increase/", "inLanguage": "en-US", "dateModified": "2024-05-16T13:00:21.000Z", "wordCount": 307, "keywords": [ "disney parks", "onetime" ], "about": [ { "@type": "Thing", "name": "Lifestyle", "sameAs": [ "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lifestyle" ] }, { "@type": "Thing", "name": "Travel", "sameAs": [ "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Travel" ] } ] } ] } ```
