There have been rumors about this for a while, but it has finally happened. Disney World has switched to tiered pricing for their tickets.
According to Disney Parks Blog, the reason is because of expectations to guests, the expansion of some of the parks, and it’s a way to spread out visitation throughout the year. They are divided into Value, Regular, and Peak. Unfortunately, it looks like there is a pretty small window for the Value season.
There is a calendar on Disney’s website that lets you know the pricing for different days of the year. For this year (2016) here is the breakdown from their website:
- Feb. 28-Mar. 3: Value
- Mar. 4-Mar. 10: Regular
- Mar. 11-April 2: Peak
- April 3-May 26: Regular
- May 27-July 23: Peak
- July 24-August 21: Regular
- August 22-Sept. 29: Value
- Sept. 30-Nov. 19: Regular
- Nov. 20-Nov. 27: Peak
- Nov. 28-Dec. 21: Regular
- Dec. 22-Dec. 31: Peak
The pricing for the different tiers is as follows:
- Value: Starting at $97 for one day
- Regular: Starting at $102 for one day
- Peak: Starting at $114 for one day
It is still cheaper to buy multiple day tickets, if you are going to be in Disney World for more than a couple of days. The price per day lessons the more you add on.
Walt Disney World & Disneyland Resorts are shifting to seasonal pricing for one-day tickets. Learn more here: https://t.co/yQ98znnBc6

Why would they do that
Prices go up every year, but the tiered pricing is new. I’m assuming this will make them more money. They are planning ahead for when all the new lands open.

I wonder how new pricing will affect the “free food” offers during the year.
I’m wondering that too D’Ana. Hopefully, it won’t affect it too much, but time will tell.
