Beginning April 22, Walt Disney World will open reservations for tickets, hotels, and vacation packages available through October 31, 2026. Pricing and availability for visits in November and December will be announced later this year.
The cost of one-day tickets continues in line with 2025, ranging from $119 to $199 per day. Disney’s Animal Kingdom remains the most economical, with the Magic Kingdom being the most expensive. Visitors will find lower ticket prices in August and September.
For the 2026 season, Disney introduces some notable discounts. One offer allows children aged 3 to 9 to dine for free when their guardians purchase a dining plan as part of their vacation package. This offer aims to reduce food expenses during the visit. Additionally, guests get meal and snack credits, which can be used at any time during their stay.
Disney also brings back a previous perk, offering free entry to its water parks on check-in day for guests staying in official Disney World hotels. This applies during the summer months in 2026. Free entry is conveniently added to guest accounts, enabling easy access to the water parks.
For those looking to economize further, Disney offers multiple discounts on hotel stays and package deals. Visitors might opt for hotels in the Disney Springs area, which can be priced below $100 per night. Using an authorized Disney vacation planner can also ensure guests maximize discounts throughout their planning.
These offers are supplemental to the inherent benefits of staying at a Disney Resort hotel, such as early park entry and complimentary transportation. Disney confirms these perks will persist into 2026.
Reservations for 2026 vacations can be made starting April 22, with the possibility to still access several discounts available for 2025.
