Fall has finally arrived. That means apple picking, pumpkin spice everything, Halloween, and eventually Thanksgiving.

That also means the holiday season and the New Year are rapidly approaching. Disney Parks have already started preparing for Halloween, and a few days later, they will replace those decorations to get ready for Christmas.

However, for Disney fans, the return of fall also means upcoming price increases at Disney’s Parks for 2026. The Orange County Register has been tracking Disneyland’s price increases and believes the park will drop its price increases during the first full week of October.

According to the Register, Disneyland has released its annual price increases on October 9 and twice on October 11 during the past three years. This year’s price increases are expected to drop on either Tuesday, October 7, or Wednesday, October 8.

So what will those price increases look like this year? In 2016, Disneyland introduced tiered ticket prices, with costs rising on days when higher crowds are expected.

The lowest cost for a Disneyland ticket is $104. The price has remained constant since 2019, and the Register does not expect that to change this year.

The highest-priced ticket for Disneyland or Disney’s California Adventure is $206 for one park and $281 for a park hopper. Over the last five years, Disney has increased the one park ticket by 3.3 percent to 9.1 percent and the Park Hopper pass by 3.4 percent to 9.2 percent.

So, what does that mean for this year’s price increases? The Register expects the one park ticket to rise from $206 to $213-$225 and the Park Hopper ticket to increase from $281 to $295-$306.

There is a loophole for those looking to go to Disneyland early in 2026. Park tickets are available up to 180 days before traveling, meaning people traveling in January, February, and most of March can purchase their tickets at the 2025 rate.

Like everything else in the country, Disneyland tickets are increasing in price soon. You’d better get them while you can still afford them.
