Although price increases are evident throughout the year, it appears that the fall comes with huge price increases across Walt Disney World.

Ticket prices are on the rise for a single-day Walt Disney World ticket, for a Walt Disney World Park Hopper ticket, and all Annual Pass tiers at Walt Disney World.

Guests hoping to skip long standby queues will now pay more for both Lightning Lane Multi-Pass and Single Pass options. After anticipating changes for Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique, the new simplified package selections also come with higher prices.

One thing that Disney excels at is providing great merchandise for guests. Sometimes the amount of souvenirs grows a bit too large for your suitcase, and you may need help getting your purchases home safely.

Guests can ship directly from select Walt Disney World shops. There is a shipping fee for this service, and guests can choose from ground delivery through UPS or air delivery.

Shipping is also available at the Business Center of select resorts. You can see a full listing of where these are located HERE.

A third shipping option is available at the Marketplace Co-Op located at Disney Springs. Guests must provide receipts for all items to be shipped. The Cast Member uses the merchandise totals to calculate shipping.

Previously, this was a great option, but new price increases may have you rethinking shipping items home. These are the current shipping costs:

$19.99 for purchases between $0-$100
$34.99 for purchases between $100.01-$250
$74.99 for purchases between $250.01-$500
$99.99 for purchases between $500.01 and higher

Previously, shipping was much more affordable. Purchases between $0 to $500 would range between $20 and $34.99. The maximum guests would pay above $500 was $39.99.

We all understand that prices continue to increase, but this seems to be a HUGE jump. With these prices, it may be better to purchase an additional bag for your flight home rather than to pay these prices.
