food IS a theme park
*sigh* We have more price increase news in Disney World, we’re sorry to say.
Disney’s Hollywood Studios
Park tickets, annual passes, and thousands of food items across the resort have received price increases. Unfortunately, more price increases have landed in the resort, this time specifically in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. If you were planning on building a Lightsaber or a droid soon and you haven’t already booked your reservation, you’ll now be paying a little bit more.
The cost of accessing the Kingdom’s keys just went up.
Behind the Seeds
There are several October traditions that Walt Disney World fans love: The ongoing EPCOT Food & Wine Festival, Halloween celebrations headlined by Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, and even the commemoration of Walt Disney World’s October 1971 opening. However, there’s one longstanding October “tradition” many actively dread: Price Increases.
Today is the day we’ve been dreading…Disney has announced price increases for its theme parks in the U.S.
Main Street, U.S.A.
Now, we’ve already seen price hikes in Disney World for food and drinks, tickets, and annual passes, but Disneyland is also seeing its prices go up, so we’re going to break down everything that’s going to now cost you more in Disneyland so you won’t have sticker shock if you’re planning a trip to the West Coast OG park.
Yep, it’s that time of year again, no matter how much we hate it.
Tonga Toast
Price increases have begun hitting Disney World all over the resort, and now, Disney hotels are next on the list. If you’ve got multiple restaurants located at Disney World hotels on your “must-try” list and have been budgeting for specific items, you may want to increase that budget, because price increases have hit TONS of items.
Okay, so you might be planning a trip to Disney World soon, and of course, you’re probably thinking about your budget.
Tiffins spread
We keep an eye out for menu updates, which means we often see price increases on food, so that could change your budget. However, in October, we generally see a SLEW of price increases come through for nearly every Disney World restaurant on property, and that’s what we’ve got to tell you about now, those increases that have hit theme parks.
Well, it’s that time of year again. We look at all the price increases hitting Disney World and sigh in sadness.
Dole Whip from Aloha Isle
We’ve already seen price increases hit ticket prices, apparel, and Disney’s streaming services, and now another massive increase has hit the Disney World parks. Some of our favorite snacks around the entire resort will now cost you more — including our beloved Dole Whip — and yes, we’re trying not to cry.
It’s that time of the year again when we see a bunch of price increases in Disney World!
Annual Pass
The price of Disney World tickets just went up (we have the details here), and along with those price increases comes an update on the cost of Disney World Annual Passes. If you’re thinking about purchasing one, here’s what you need to know.
We’ve got some bad merchandise news coming out of Disneyland, and while we hate to tell you this news, it’s important for your vacation budget.
Disneyland
October is typically the season that we see lots of price increases hit Disney parks in the United States, so we’ve been preparing ourselves for the prices to go up on everything from food, to Lightning Lanes, to merchandise, and beyond. Unfortunately, if you were thinking of grabbing yourself a t-shirt on your Disneyland vacation, it looks like it’ll cost you a few dollars more.
Changes are coming for Disney World soon, and I AM NOT READY.
Cinderella Castle
New attractions, new lands, and construction everywhere? That’s Disney World for you in 2026, and if you’re coming for a visit, you need to be warned. We go to the parks every day, and we’re not prepared mentally yet for some of these changes!
Price increases are, unfortunately, a common Disney World trend.
EPCOT
EPCOT’s International Food and Wine Festival begins on August 28th, 2025, and will run through November 22nd, 2025. This festival brings tons of amazing small bites, sips, and so much cheese! This festival is one of our favorites, but it’s going to cost you more in 2025.
