Here's what you need to know.

Depending on the day of your reservation, tickets now range up to $206 - that's up from the previous range capped at $194.
The cheapest tickets which are valued at $104 a day for low-demand days will remain unchanged.
Park-hopper tickets will still be an additional $65.

Last week, Disney announced a special $50 ticket offer for children ages 3-9. There will also be options to choose a 2-Day or 3-Day ticket, with Park Hopper and Lightning Lane upgrades.
The special ticket offer goes on sale Oct. 22 and is valid for visits Jan. 7 to Mar, 20, 2025.

Reservations are required and subject to availability. Guests are advised to check the theme park reservation calendar for select days priced at $104 per day so adults can save money on the visit too.
Gavin Doyle – founder of MickeyVisit.com, a site dedicated to Disney travel - offered up a few tips for those looking to visit but still keep to a budget.
"If you are willing to travel on weekdays during the less popular months of the year or be reactive to Disney's deals throughout the year, you'll be rewarded with lower prices on tickets and deals on hotels in the area. The lowest priced one-day ticket has not increased in price since 2019.," he said.
Flexibility with dates is also key.
"If you are set on visiting during the most popular months, you'll end up paying the premium prices. That said, throughout last year Disneyland offered discounted tickets on many days including a summer ticket offer that reduced three-day ticket prices from $390 to $299 and lasted nearly four months," he added.
