Story summary

Disney raised park admission prices significantly starting Tuesday, with a single-day Park Hopper pass for Disney World now costing $301, including mandatory fees and taxes. The premium "Incredi-Pass," which grants access to skip lines and book reservations ahead of time, saw a $120 increase to $1,749. Despite these hikes, the cheapest one-day ticket for Animal Kingdom remains unchanged at around $120, while off-peak tickets are now significantly more expensive on weekends.
