Price increases are a part of life at Walt Disney World. The trend is for Guests to expect prices to increase every single year.

It seems that anytime Disney releases new promotions for Walt Disney World, you can anticipate that price increases will soon follow. Let’s get into the good news first! Many of our favorite perks now continue through 2026.

Today, Disney announced that they didn’t “actually” increase the price of a 2026 base ticket, but your Walt Disney World tickets will probably cost a bit more.

Yesterday, Walt Disney World announced that kids (ages 3-9) can eat free in 2026, but this comes with a catch because the Disney Dining Plan will cost guests more in 2026.

Since the return of the Disney Dining Plan in 2024, we have noticed increases in pricing. 2024 pricing is $57.01/adult and $23.83/child for quick-service and $94.28/adult and $29.69/child for the regular plan. 2025 pricing is $59.14/adult and $24.71/child for quick-service and $97.79/adult and $30.56/child for the regular plan.

In 2026, the Disney Dining Plan will increase to $60.47/adult and $26.16/child for quick-service and $98.59/adult and $31.94/child for the regular plan.
