Disney World Just Raised Annual Pass Prices Again—And One Tier Jumped $120 Overnight

Walt Disney World raised the price of all four of its Annual Passes on October 6, 2026. The headline number: the top-tier Incredi-Pass—the only pass sold to out-of-state guests—now costs $1,749 plus tax, a figure we confirmed directly on Disney’s official Annual Passes page. That is up $120 (7.4%) from its prior $1,629, the largest dollar jump of any tier. On the same day, Disneyland took the opposite approach out West—nudging a few ticket tiers up $5 while leaving its cheapest and priciest days untouched—and Disney confirmed a batch of new additions to its Jollywood Nights holiday party. Here’s what actually changed across the parks this week, and what it means for your wallet.

Disney World’s Incredi-Pass Crosses $1,749—And Every Tier Went Up

This was the biggest money story of the window. According to the pricing now live on Disney’s official Annual Passes page, every one of the four Walt Disney World pass tiers increased, with the new prices taking effect October 6. The Incredi-Pass is the anchor at $1,749 plus tax. Disney’s updated pricing also lists the Florida-resident Sorcerer Pass at $1,139, the Pirate Pass at $909, and the entry-level Pixie Dust Pass at $499—an average increase of roughly 4.4% across the lineup, with the Pixie Dust Pass taking the smallest bump at about 2.0%.

Annual Pass tier	New price (per Disney)	Who can buy it
Incredi-Pass	$1,749	All guests, including out-of-state
Sorcerer Pass	$1,139	FL residents + DVC members
Pirate Pass	$909	FL residents
Pixie Dust Pass	$499	FL residents (weekday-restricted)

The pass hike didn’t land in a vacuum. Lightning Lane Multi Pass pricing also climbed heading into the busy fall season, with Magic Kingdom’s per-person Multi Pass reaching as high as $35 on peak October dates—a reminder that the line-skipping add-on is demand-priced and no longer the near-$20 impulse buy it once was. We checked the official passes page the morning the new numbers went live, and the pattern is familiar: Disney leans its steepest increases on the one pass every guest can buy. If an Annual Pass has been sitting in your “maybe next trip” column, the math just got $120 heavier at the top.

Disneyland Did the Opposite: A $5 Nudge and Two Prices Frozen

Here’s the contrast that makes this week interesting. On the same October 6 date, Disneyland Resort adjusted its single-day ticket chart far more gently than Walt Disney World touched its passes. Per Disneyland’s updated ticket pricing, a one-day, one-park Tier 1 ticket rose just $5, to $134 for adults and $124 for kids ages 3–9. Crucially, Disneyland held the line on the extremes: the lowest-priced one-day ticket stayed at $104 and the most expensive topped out at $224, meaning there’s no new all-time single-day high this year. The Park Hopper add-on on a Tier 1 ticket also rose, climbing to $80.

We’ve tracked Disneyland’s tiered ticket calendar year over year, and a $5 ceiling-holding adjustment is about as restrained as this resort gets—especially next to a $120 pass increase in Florida on the very same day. The takeaway for planners: the two coasts are moving in different directions right now. Out West, your best lever is still picking a lower-tier date; in Florida, the squeeze is landing hardest on the annual-commitment crowd.

Jollywood Nights 2026 Adds a New Lounge, Monsters, Inc. Faces, and Skating Surprises

Not everything this week was about prices. According to the official Disney Parks Blog, Disney confirmed fresh additions to Disney Jollywood Nights, the separately ticketed holiday party at Disney’s Hollywood Studios running select nights from November 7 through January 5 (15 dates in all). Guests can enter at 5:30 p.m., with festivities running from 7:30 p.m. until 12:30 a.m.

The new-for-2026 details: a lounge called the Checkin’ It Twice Lounge debuts in Animation Courtyard with specialty beverages, a live DJ, and entertainment throughout the evening. On the character side, George Sanderson and Needleman from Monsters, Inc. will appear at the event for the first time, and the “Glisten!” skating show expands its cast to include Donald Duck, Daisy Duck, and Genie, all making their debut in that production. We’ve walked Hollywood Studios during a past Jollywood Nights, and the appeal has always been the lower-key, grown-up-friendly vibe versus the Magic Kingdom’s holiday party—adding a dedicated DJ lounge leans directly into that identity. If a holiday Studios night is on your radar, the earliest November dates historically sell out first.

The Bottom Line

Between a $120 Annual Pass increase in Florida, a restrained $5 ticket nudge in California, and a beefed-up holiday party at Hollywood Studios, this was a week defined by cost—so before you commit, start with our guide on how to save money at Disney World.
