The cost of visiting "the happiest place on earth" is about to go up for many.
Both Disneyland and Walt Disney World announced various changes to their individual pricing plans on Wednesday, effective immediately. The theme parks' ticket prices already very by day depending on demand. Some will not be affected, but others will see a significant rise.
Disneyland
Prices for single-day tickets at Disneyland in Anaheim, Calif. on the least expensive days will not be affected, remaining at $104 per person. However, all other date-based tickets on more desirable days will see a price increase of between $5 and $15, with the most expensive single-day tickets going for $194. This is an 8.4% increase from its previous $179 price tag.
The California park is also changing the prices of all their multi-day tickets and passes. Two-day tickets will see a $25 increase to $310, three-day tickets will increase by $30 to $390, four-day tickets will increase by $50 to $445, and five-day tickets will increase by $65 to $480.
Additionally, Magic Key Pass holders will see plans go up by either $50, for the “Imagine” and “Inspire” tiers, or $150, for the “Enchant” and “Believe” tiers.

Park Hopper passes, which allow visitors to move between Disneyland and California Adventure, will not see a price increase for date-based tickets, but will have an uptick between $5 and $15 for any of the multi-day passes.
Finally, Genie+ at Disneyland will go up by $5 per day to $30. Parking prices across the property will also increase.
Disneyland will be making a few changes to their services that fans should appreciate. Genie+ will extend its theme park reservation calendar booking window to 120 days and add two more family-friendly rides to the bookable attractions.
The park will also see additions like Tiana’s Bayou Adventure and an expansion of Downtown Disney in 2024.

Some of the good news at Disney World includes bringing back their all-day Park Hopper pass. Starting Jan. 9, guests will be able to move between the different parks at any time of the day, barring any capacity limitations, instead of only being able to do so after 2 p.m. as rules previously required.
Disney World also plans on offering its annual pass holders periodic “good-to-go days” beginning sometime in Jan. 2024. On these days, pass holders will be able to drop into the theme park without a need for a reservation.
“We are constantly adding new, innovative attractions and entertainment to our parks and, with our broad array of pricing options, the value of a theme park visit is reflected in the unique experiences that only Disney can offer,” a spokesperson for Disney tells PEOPLE in a statement.
The Wall Street Journal reports that Disney will invest about $60 billion in its parks over the next decade, more than double what it did in the last ten years.
