Disney World's Incredi-Pass Jumps $120 to $1,749 as Peak 2027 Tickets Hit $229 and Menu Prices Climb

Two years ago a Disney Incredi-Pass cost $1,449. As of this morning it costs $1,749.

Walt Disney World's yearly October price increase arrived on Tuesday, October 6, and it hit three fronts at once: every Annual Pass tier, the most expensive one-day tickets for late 2027, and the prices on quick-service menus across the resort. Disney's own Annual Pass page now lists the Incredi-Pass at $1,749.

Annual Passes: every tier went up

Here are the new prices, effective October 6, as tabulated by WDW News Today (all plus tax):

  • Disney Incredi-Pass: $1,749 new (was $1,629), $1,499 renewal (was $1,379). Up $120 either way.
  • Disney Sorcerer Pass: $1,139 new (was $1,099), $969 renewal (was $929). Up $40.
  • Disney Pirate Pass: $909 new (was $869), $789 renewal (was $749). Up $40.
  • Disney Pixie Dust Pass: $499 new (was $489), $419 renewal (was $399). Up $10 new, $20 renewal.

WDW News Today notes that, unlike last year, when a couple of renewal prices stayed put, this time every new and renewal option costs more. The Water Park and Sports add-on and the PhotoPass add-on each stay at $109 plus tax.

WDWMagic tracked the Incredi-Pass history: $1,449 to $1,549 in October 2024, $1,549 to $1,629 in October 2025, and now $1,749. That is $300, or about 21%, in two years. The Incredi-Pass is the only tier open to all guests; the other three are for Florida residents (Sorcerer also covers eligible Disney Vacation Club members).

Tickets: the peak days of 2027 got pricier

Disney World tickets are date-based, and with dates for November and December 2027 now bookable, the top of the range moved. These are the highest one-day, one-park prices for ages 10 and up, before tax:

  • Magic Kingdom: $229 (previously $219)
  • EPCOT: $229 (previously $214)
  • Disney's Hollywood Studios: $214 (previously $209)
  • Disney's Animal Kingdom: $189 (previously $184)

WDWMagic compared December to December: Magic Kingdom's peak goes from $209 in December 2026 to $229 on December 25 and 31, 2027, and EPCOT's from $209 to $229 on December 31. WDW News Today adds that a one-day Park Hopper on the most expensive day now reaches $301.

The good news is at the bottom. The cheapest one-day ticket is still $119, at Disney's Animal Kingdom. According to CNN, prices for dates through October 2027 had already been set, so this round is about the rest of 2027.

One point where the reporting disagrees: WDW News Today says multi-day ticket prices have not gone up, while CNN reports that middle-tier tickets and multi-day tickets "will also see a moderate increase." If you are pricing a multi-day trip, check the ticket calendar for your exact dates.

Lightning Lane and parking

CNN reports that the top-tier skip-the-line product, the one that gets guests into every available Lightning Lane without reservations (Disney calls it Lightning Lane Premier Pass), "could go up $50 based on demand" and could now run "just shy of the $500 mark during peak demand." That lands a day after we reported Premier Pass selling out at $399 for Columbus Day weekend. CNN says the pay-per-ride option (Lightning Lane Single Pass) gets a moderate increase, while the reservation-based option (Lightning Lane Multi Pass) and parking rates do not change.

Your lunch costs more, too

WDWMagic says most quick-service items went up between 50 cents and $1, and WDW News Today puts the range at 10 cents to $1. A few examples:

Some things held. WDW News Today found bottled soda and vitaminwater still at $5.50, and Mickey pretzels still at $8.49. Regular Joffrey's coffee did not hold: it now costs $4.99 (the two outlets report different starting prices).

What Disney says

Disneyland in California mostly held still this year, and CNN reports that its peak ticket stayed at $224 and none of its annual passes changed price, which CNN calls a first. Disney World got different treatment, and Thomas Mazloum, chairman of Disney Experiences, told CNN: "We have all kinds of guests coming through our gates," he said, "and it's exactly why we think about pricing market by market, rather than with one broad brush."

He also told CNN: "We're so proud that guests keep choosing us, year after year. It tells us we're getting that balance right."

So, passholders: renewing at the new price, dropping a tier, or sitting this year out?
