Each year, Disney announces updated prices for theme park tickets, and we always do the math to find out which days became more expensive, which days became cheaper, and which days remained the same. Let’s take a look at the prices to help you plan your Disney World vacation.
Note that the prices we’re working with here are the starting ticket prices, which means the lowest possible rate. Usually, this is the price for Disney’s Animal Kingdom, so you can expect prices for the other parks to be a bit higher. However, this data can be a good starting point to help you decide which days to visit Disney World.
