Vacationers<\/a> planning their next trip to Disneyland<\/a> during the winter holidays or early next year only have a couple weeks to lock in lower prices before the Anaheim theme park hikes ticket prices in what has become a dismaying annual tradition.<\/p>\n

Disneyland and Disney California Adventure are expected to raise ticket prices in October by 3% to 9% based on recent history.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat this means is that now is a really good time to plan your next Disneyland visit and get your tickets sorted if possible,\u201d according to MousePlanet. \u201cEvery year we see vacation planners scramble in the days after a price hike to find tickets at the old prices.\u201d<\/p>\n

Disneyland used to raise ticket prices in February before the COVID-19 pandemic. Since then, the annual price hikes have happened in October \u2014 Oct. 11 in 2022 and 2023, Oct. 9 in 2024 and Oct. 8 in 2025.<\/p>\n

MousePlanet<\/a> forecasts Disneyland will raise ticket prices on Oct. 7 this year based on recent history.<\/p>\n

MickeyVisit<\/a> also leans toward Oct. 7 for the 2026 ticket price hike while also floating Oct. 6 as a possibility.<\/p>\n

\u201cDisney parks offer a full day of experiences each day with ticket, hotel and dining options designed to suit a wide range of needs and budgets for all who visit,\u201d Disneyland officials said in a statement. \u201cOur commitment to creating magical experiences for everyone remains at the heart of what we do \u2014 and that will never change.\u201d<\/p>\n
