How Much Will a Day at Disney Cost a Family of Four with the New Seasonal Pricing?

Ah, the happiest place on Earth has just sprinkled a little extra pixie dust on its pricing strategy! Disney recently unveiled a new seasonal pricing model for one-day tickets at its parks, which means that the cost varies depending on the time of year. Each month is now categorized into value, regular, and peak days, with prices adjusted according to expected attendance. This could mean a cheaper ticket on less busy days—if you’re lucky enough to snag them!

Disney has been feeling the heat from families complaining about overcrowding during peak times like winter holidays, spring breaks, and the infamous summer rush. The sad truth is that many families may not have the flexibility to visit on those cheaper value days. Instead, they’ll likely find themselves at the park during peak times, crossing their fingers that the new pricing will help thin the crowds.

So, What’s the Damage for a Family of Four?

At Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida, a one-day value ticket is priced at $97 per person before taxes. That adds up to a cool $388 for the family. But wait—March only offers three value days (March 1-3). The regular ticket price jumps to $102 per person, making it $408 for four. And if you’re planning to go when the kids are on spring break? Get ready for peak day pricing at $114 each, totaling $456 for just one day of fun.

April rolls in with a couple of peak days and mostly regular ones, while May is just as tricky. The summer months of June and July are almost entirely peak days, leaving families with little opportunity to save. Good news for August, though! There are ten days of value pricing.

Disneyland in California has similar pricing, starting at $95 for value days, going up to $119 for peak days, according to the Los Angeles Times.

Additional Costs to Consider

And let’s not forget about food and drinks inside the park—who wants to waste time leaving when you just paid a fortune to get in? Plus, your little princess will probably want that Elsa costume or a cute souvenir cup to commemorate the day. The above figures also don’t account for hotel stays, rental cars, or flights, which can really add up.

Disney does offer ways to save if you’re considering a multi-day pass or an annual pass, but not every family can commit to spending multiple days in the parks. Whichever option you choose, you might want to start saving for this enchanting adventure now.
