If you are a first time visitor to Walt Disney World then you are probably better off buying a 4 park magic ticket but you can buy Disney World single day tickets to all of the Disney theme parks, water parks and other entertainment complexes.
Multi-day tickets really comes into its own and saves you money when you want to park hop and visit for four or more days or go to some of the other attractions like the water parks.

- Single day ticket to either Disney’s Magic Kingdom, Disney’s Epcot, Hollywood Studios or Animal Kingdom
- One day ticket to either Disney’s Blizzard Beach or Typhoon Lagoon water parks
- A single day seasonal ticket to either Disney’s Blizzard Beach or Typhoon Lagoon water parks
- One Aerophile Balloon ride ticket at Disney Springs
- One day ticket to ESPN Wide World of Sports®
- A single 18-hole miniature golf ticket
Our top tip for saving big on Disney Ticket Prices
For the best prices, you will want to compare a few sites. Prices differ even from the official Disney site. You are likely to get a great deal if you shop around. Note – UK prices do not offer single day tickets (only 7 or 14 day passes).
Like most of the Florida theme parks, anyone aged 10 or over on the day of their first entry to the theme parks is classed as an adult and will have to buy an adult ticket.
Children between the ages of 3 and 9 are classed as children and may purchase a child ticket.
Children under the age of 3 are admitted for free.
Disney World Single Day Ticket Prices
The prices you pay online are generally cheaper than you would pay at the gate and you can also get better value when you purchase combo tickets if you were to visit multiple parks. It would be difficult to share the latest park prices and keep these up-to-date here but we can recommend checking the latest deals and offers at our partner site who offer amazing prices that you can’t get anywhere else. Check the prices below.
See our multi-day multi-park theme park ticket page for further info on these tickets.

The former Downtown Disney has been redeveloped into Disney Springs. The entertainment complex, Pleasure Island closed on September 28, 2008. Parking and admission are free at Disney Springs unless you want valet parking.
Disney World Multi-day Tickets
The price per day goes down considerably, the more days you buy but do bear in mind that from February 2015 all tickets expire after a maximum of 14 days from date of first use unless stated otherwise.
In previous years you could buy a “No Expiration option, then any extra days you did not use would not be wasted. Older tickets with the No Expiration option will be honoured.
Transferring Disney World Tickets
Walt Disney Single day tickets are non transferrable and Disney have now introduced new RFID enabled tickets and MagicBands in conjunction with digital fingerprint scans to ensure that only the person who originally bought the ticket can use it. Do not be tempted to purchase part used tickets from non-authorised ticket sellers.
Price History of Disney World Tickets
Disney typically raises their ticket prices each year in August (twice in 2006).
In 2007 and 2008 they added $4 to the price of a one day ticket and in 2009 added $5. In 2010 they added another $3, a further $3 in 2011 and then $4 in 2012.
However in 2012 and again in 2013 they raised their prices in June immediately after Universal Studios raised theirs. In 2013 for the first time ever, they set separate prices for a one day admission to Magic Kingdom. A one day ticket to Magic Kingdom increased by $5, whereas the other Disney parks only saw a $1 increase.
In February 2014 they raised prices again with another $4 on single day admission tickets and in February 2015 they added another $6 to the Magic Kingdom and $3 to the other parks.
In February 2016 they introduced tiered seasonal pricing for the first time for one day tickets. The low “Value” season prices stayed the same as their 2015 prices but the mid “Regular” and “Peak” season prices rose by as much as $19. Multi-day prices rose by between $10 and $35.
In February 2017, one day ticket prices increased between $2 and $5 and annual passes went up between $10 and $40. Disney also started putting expiry dates on all tickets. Tickets purchased in February 2017 will now expire on December 31, 2018 latest.
Again in February 2018, one day ticket prices increased between $2 and $5 and all annual pass prices rose. Tickets purchased from February 2018 will expire on December 31, 2019.
In October 2018 Disney changed the way tickets were sold again. The “Magic Your Way” tiered seasonal pricing model was replaced by a daily calendar rate model which resulted in a second price rise for a lot of tickets and a reduced ticket life instead of a 14 day life across all tickets. Now a 10 day ticket still expires 14 days after first use but a 2 day ticket expires after only 4 days.
One of the biggest increases happened in March 2019 when Disney increased the peak one day ticket prices by 23%, from $129 to $159 per day.
In June 2019 Disney increased the prices of most annual passes ahead of the highly anticipated opening of Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge.
In October 2018, Disney replaced their tiered seasonal one day ticket pricing for their four theme parks with a calendar date based pricing model across both their single and multi-day tickets. They also made all four parks the same price per day instead of keeping Magic Kingdom at a premium.
Note that all tickets now have an expiration date. For example tickets purchased one year will now expire by December 31 of the following year at the latest.
Disney World Single Day Tickets for UK Visitors
Disney World does not offer single day tickets on the UK sites and therefore you will have to purchase your tickets in USD on either our recommended partner site Undercover Tourist or check the US Disney site for their latest prices.
