I saw a comparison between 2024/5 and 2026 elsewhere and Epcot's top price fell $5 and DHS/AK's top prices rose $5. Either way, I have little doubt the average price will rise.
I think there’s the recognition that they’ve maxed out the ticket price for now.

I think you’re going to see the cost of add-ons like lightning Lane go up and also I suspect you’ll see a bigger change with the hard ticket events. The people purchasing these products are seemingly less sensitive to pricing.

If Disney REALLY cares about the guests, they will make it ONE DAY, ONE PARK price across the board! All they are doing is trying to get the most out of their guests before they even get through the gates or check into their hotel room!
START GOING TO UNIVERSAL-ya get a better deal!

December 2026 - MK breaks the $200/ticket barrier.

And that's likely not a prediction but a spoiler. But I hope I'm wrong.

2024 Holidays were their worst in recent memory (excluding Covid years). While nothing would surprise me in their base ticket prices, I don’t think you see movement on this.

AP and add ons will definitely be going up.

2026 Price Breakdown (Through End Of October)

It's become quite clear that people are avoiding July, and it appears that Disney has finally recognized that with ticket pricing. It's the only month to see a decrease in the average price. Jan & Feb continue to see increases, as people realize that the parks are more enjoyable during the winter months.

I was thinking they'd avoid increasing DAK more than 2%, but I was wrong lol

True. I forgot how much free money they make on LL.

Do I hear $499/day at MK for LLPP? What about $54/day for LLMP? SOLD!

Better to nickel and dime than raise prices, according to Bob when he was reinstalled as CEO, because they are listening. Oh wait...

This is my proof of why I WILL NOT RETURN TO DISNEY! We have got to start telling them NO, that what they are doing is NOT OK WITH US! (just to give the Disney Executives more money in their bonuses)

It’s actually telling that the more popular Winter months appealing to Disney Adults are more in demand than the typical family summer vacation months. (And possibly more due to restrictive pricing)

Im not saying Disney is going to under because of this, but it certainly isn’t a desirable thing demographically speaking.

That would just result in a bunch of complaining about how AK (for example) should be cheaper because it is a "half day" park. No argument that ticket prices in general are too high but they should not all have the same base price.

Also, why on earth bring up Uni as if they are not doing the exact same thing?

I don't think that's the case. July is not a fun time to be at any theme park in Orlando.

Word is out that Jan/Feb is a more enjoyable experience.

Edit: I think Disney might actually break the 1-day $200 ticket price barrier next December. They might be holding off that announcement to reduce negative media?

Yea, I love the AK but it currently only has like 5 rides. Typically a park should have like 10 or 11 to go to and pay ~100 bucks to get in. Disney has a problem at this point.

I don’t know many parents taking their kids out of school to visit Disney.

May-August is peak family vacation travel months.

Personally I don’t buy the heat excuse, because most of the US is miserably hot from June-August. Also, none of this has also affected other travel to Florida which continues to see more visitors.

Yeah, this is me... I refuse to take my kids out of school for vacation so our Disney trips always fall in the late June to early August window. Is it hot? Yeah, but honestly, it's not much worse than what we're used to in southern PA. Just means we enjoy time at the pool and mid day breaks.

We did, 10 years ago. The kids missing elementary or middle school days wasn't a big deal, like, at all. Once the kids started hitting high school, though, our vacations became more strategic. It would be long weekends so any of them in high school would only miss a day or two. Of course, they all have iPads so distance learning is far more feasible over the past 8-9 years than it was prior to that.
