WDW Price Increase Thread

[UniversalRBLX]

Mission Space just got a bit of an upgrade about 5 years ago. Now eventually it needs to be replaced because no one rides it, but JII, Wonders, and even SSE need to be fixed first.

Oh absolutely agree

It’s just incredible that Epcots highest capacity attractions are all underutilized

I don't mind that all that stuff gets short lines. I like it all and it's nice not to wait in line for any of those attractions....Mission Space, The Land, SSE, Nemo, Imagination, Crush, Mexican ride, all the theater shows, even Soarin before they brought the original film back. Really, there's only four or five attractions in the park that get long lines, and if you go at rope drop you can beat those lines too, except for the Virtual Line for Guardians.

As a guest, no real long lines is great. I can’t imagine Disney loves it though because that means the attraction space could be put to much better use (and they aren’t selling as much Genie+ since it’s not needed).

Yes. Absolutely no reason to waste money on Genie + at Epcot. Go early, do a few headliners, and all the rest are mostly short lines for the majority of the day. I know lots of people were upset about Disney putting IP rides in the World Showcase. But with Frozen and the Rat there, they scoop up the masses.

Even Mission: Space was pulling 45min waits a few weeks back. When it's crowded, suddenly these usually no-wait rides come to good use. Now how to get them to appeal year-round when so many things were taken off the table for Epcot's.. you know.. epic transformation.

Disney raised prices for WDW 2025 tickets today. Most days rose around $10, while some rose $5 to $15 a day for various 2025 daily dates.

2026 WDW ticket prices have been released... and they went up more than expected surprisingly. I would have thought it would be a marginal 2-3% increase.

For example, DAK (which is expected to see Dinosaur close early next year) a 6% increase in February. An extra $10 for 1 less attraction at a park already devoid of experiences?

Price Breakdown (Only Through Oct 2026 at the moment)

Seems like July is continuing to slip attendance-wise as people avoid summer and into Jan/Feb.

Feb has become one of the most popular (and expensive) times to visit now. More popular than the summer months (understandably).

Thanks for posting this, as my family was just considering a WDW vacation next year (with 1 day at Epic of course )

$194 for Magic Kingdom is absolutely absurd. As you said, increasing the price of a ticket at Animal Kingdom with less attractions is nuts. $189 for AK?

Wow.
