October 2025 Price Increases

[monothingie]

New FY for Disney has historically meant October brings around new price increases.

October 2024 saw a round of ticket increases on both coasts but Florida came later in the month possibly due to Hurricane Milton.

I think I speak for Disney fans around the world in complete totality when I say, "Paying ever-increasing prices for a continually declining product is what we're here for."

I’m here for updates about a great vacation venue.

Why would people pay ever-increasing prices for a continually declining product? Just stop going so Disney gets the message.

Oh, I have stopped going. I still love what it could be and don't want to give up. If you enjoy it, as is, I don't get it, but I'm happy for you.

Thank you!

I miss parts of the old Disney too but I realized quite some time ago that it’s not going back to what it was.

There are a lot of new things to enjoy and my whole family still loves WDW.

MiceChat is positing that DL will increase ticket prices this week. A little clickbait-y but what can you do. Certainly worth keeping an ear to the ground on, though, even if it turns out to not affect WDW.

And, IIRC, WDW has had a tendency to raise food/bev prices in the next 3-4 week timeframe. I could be wrong, but I seem to remember prices going up close to Halloween.

Yep, tickets and food and beverage will increase. But at last hotel prices really haven't changed much in the past seven years, when you account for the constant discounts.

Tee shirt quality has plummeted. I refuse to buy any more. I can get the same quality of shirt at any Walmart.

And edit to add I also have a couple of Disney RSLVT shirts that are already pilling. Disappointing for a $70 shirt.

I don't actually know, does disney have any control over pricing of those third party offerings? Could easily be RSLVT doing what every other company in the world is doing though, raising prices and dropping quality

I've bought over 10 of these graphic T-shirts over the past 4+ years and they all have held up fine. And I wear them regularly too so it gets constant use and washes.

Usually try to get one shirt with every WDW trip as a souvenir to myself.

Thanks @monothingie for this timely thread, while it didn't save me tons of money, it saved me something for our upcoming trip, every dollar counts

I can't really understand the price increase on the add ons. $99 is psychologically a good number where $109 feels a lot more expensive even if there's only a $10 difference. Not to mention the argument that Photopass should just be included in the AP itself anyway but that's another topic.

I will say at least the price increases on the APs are fairly modest this year but they kind of have to be considering the economy and also lack of anything new at WDW.

8 bucks for a pretzel and 5.50 for a bottle of coke IMO is a bit much

Yes, but somehow less than I saw at Six Flags!

They’re all off their rocker. I’ll continue drinking from the water that collects in Tomorrowland when it rains. Florida-fresh and free!

But you're not only getting water, you the added benefit of digesting microplastics as well all for the low price of $5.50.

Sad but true
