It’s inevitable — Disney World increases prices on at least something every year.
Disney World Annual Pass
And from 2025 to 2026, we saw quite a few changes when it came to prices. Here are SEVEN things that increased in price this year.
Most recently, we found some price increases on the menu over at The BOATHOUSE in Disney Springs. Prices on some menu items increased by just $0.50, while others increased by a whopping $6. Most notably, the 7-ounce Petite Filet Mignon is now $60 compared to the prior $54. Other major changes include the NY Steak* & Fries now for $42.50, Pan-Roasted Corvina now for $41, and Pan-Seared Gulf Grouper now for $48.50, all of which increased by $3.

Another Disney Springs restaurant that has seen price increases so far this year is The Edison. Back in February, this restaurant saw price increases on menu items from $0.50 to $6. The Electri-Fries made with loaded l. burbank fries, black truffle fontina sauce, bacon, parmesan and green onion, truffle oil were previously $12, but now $18. Other price increases on the menu include the Spinach Parmesan Dip now for $18, Fried Pickle Spears now for $15, and Cracklins now for $12 — all of which saw a $3 price increase.

Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party begins one month from today! But something that came along with this year’s party is price increases on admission. Last year, tickets cost anywhere from $119 to $199 depending on the night you purchased them for. This year, tickets range from $119 to $229! While the lowest price didn’t change, the highest price increased by $30!

The same (but opposite — you’ll know what I mean in a second) goes with Jollywood Nights at Disney’s Hollywood Studios and Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party at the Magic Kingdom. In 2025, ticket prices for Jollywood Nights ranged from $159 to $199, and this year, event tickets cost $169 to $199 per ticket. Again, this all depends on the date you’ll be attending, but Jollywood Nights saw a $10 increase in the cheapest ticket rather than the most expensive one.

In regard to Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, the cheapest tickets were also the ones that increased. Last year, admission ranged from $169 to $229 per ticket, and this year, tickets cost $189 to $229 per ticket, which means that this special-ticketed event saw a $20 increase!

In May, the iconic Mickey-shaped Pretzel increased its price by $0.50. Before, guests were able to purchase a Mickey-shaped Pretzel with Cheese Sauce for $7.99, and now, guests will have to pay $8.49.

In May, this popular French bakery saw some price increases on several menu items. Some menu items at Les Halles Boulangerie-Patisserie in the France Pavilion at EPCOT increased by $0.10 to $1. Although these are only small increases, they can still add up over time, especially when 16 items experienced an increase. The two items that received a $1 increase are the Croissant Jambon Fromage, now for $7.95, and the Pissaladiere, now for $6.95.

Another restaurant that saw price increases on menu items in May is Yak & Yeti Restaurant in Animal Kingdom. This restaurant saw a price increase on a whopping 26 menu items! These increases range from $0.30 to $1.50. The Crab Rangoon Dip saw the largest increase from $18.49 to $20.99. And behind that item were the Bhaktapur Duck now for $40.99 and the Cantonese Pork Belly Bowl* now for $37.99 — both of which increased by $1.

Heading over to Hollywood Studios, the price for the Fantasmic! Dining Package at one restaurant changed. This package offers a meal at a participating restaurant in Hollywood Studios and reserved seating for the nighttime spectacular Fantasmic! Guests can choose between four popular restaurants in the park, but the one we’re focusing on is Hollywood & Vine. The restaurant is both a character meal and a buffet, and the dining package includes a non-alcoholic or alcoholic beverage for guests 21 and older.
Hollywood & Vine
Before, the Fantasmic! Dining Package at Hollywood & Vine costs $81 for adults and $51 for kids. But now, the same package costs $82 for adults and $53 for kids. While a $2 price increase doesn’t seem like much, this price can add up fast for larger groups.

And these price increases aren’t slowing down anytime soon. Hugh Johnston, the CFO of Disney, spoke at the MoffettNathanson Media, Internet & Communications Conference in May about price increases and why they’ll stick around. When new attractions open, this is the time that demand surges, so instead of offering discounts, Disney charges the same — and sometimes even more — because it’s offering something that wasn’t there before. With expansions and new offerings, Disney is focusing on growth in both attendance and pricing.
World of Frozen Disneyland Paris
So, according to the consistent trends of price increases and the fact that Disney CFO Hugh Johnston emphasized that price increases will continue, we can assume that price increases are here to stay and won’t be going anywhere any time soon. It’s important to note that we typically see a HUGE wave of price increases for Disney World tickets, food, experiences, and more in October, so we’ll be on the lookout as the year continues.
