Disney World hikes prices for its annual passes by up to $100
（文章来源：CNN）
Its most powerful annual pass, the Disney Incredi-
Pass, now costs $1,549 (plus tax). That’s a $100
increase from its most recent price. The Incredi-Pass has
no blackout dates and can be purchased by people living
outside the state of Florida.
The three lower-level annual passes also saw price
increases:
Sorcerer Pass is up to $1,079 from $999 (available to Florida residents and some Disney Vacation
Club members)
Pirate Pass is up to $829 from $799 (for Florida residents only)
Pixie Dust Pass is up to $469 from $439 (for Florida residents only)
Annual passholders get free parking, discounts on food and beverages and other perks along with not
having to pay for individual tickets to the four theme parks.
Those tickets saw a price increase for 2025 earlier this year. This is the current low-high range for
2025 single-day tickets:
Animal Kingdom: $119 to $174
EPCOT: $129 to $194
Hollywood Studios: $139 to $194
Magic Kingdom: $139 to $199
Disney prices are highest during peak demand times such as the Christmas holidays and the lowest
during times such as the return to school in late August and early September.
Price increases at Disney and other theme parks have become something of an annual rite of passage
for customers.
“Over the past decade, Disney World tickets have increased up to 101% and the top-level Annual
Pass has increased by 86%,” said Gavin Doyle, founder of MickeyVisit.com, in an email to CNN
Travel.
If you’re willing to put in some time and research, Doyle said folks can find ways to lower the
sticker shock.
“If you are willing to be reactive to discounts and travel during the less in-demand periods of time,
you’ll be rewarded with lower crowds and prices,” Doyle said.
“I think of the standard prices from Disney World as the amount that only the most price-
insensitive or those so set on being there for a specific event will end up paying. You can always find
some combination of a ticket and/or hotel discount to be able to save on a trip.”

【参考译文】
迪士尼世界将年票价格上调高达100 美元
它最强大的年票，迪士尼Incredi pass，现在售价1549 美元（含税）。这比它最近的价格上涨了100
美元。Incredi Pass 没有禁止日期，居住在佛罗里达州以外的人可以购买。
三个较低级别的年票也出现了价格上涨：
巫师通行证从999 美元起高达1079 美元（适用于佛罗里达州居民和一些迪士尼度假俱乐部会员）
海盗通行证从799 美元起高达829 美元（仅限佛罗里达州居民）
Pixie Dust Pass 的价格从439 美元涨至469 美元（仅限佛罗里达州居民）
年卡持有者可以免费停车、享受餐饮折扣和其他福利，同时无需支付四个主题公园的个人门票。
今年早些时候，这些门票的价格在2025 年上涨。这是目前2025 年单日票的低高区间：
动物王国：119 美元至174 美元
EPCOT：129 至194 美元
好莱坞影城：139 至194 美元
魔法王国：139 美元至199 美元
迪士尼的价格在圣诞节等需求高峰期最高，在8 月底和9 月初返校等时段最低。
迪士尼和其他主题公园的价格上涨已经成为顾客一年一度的成年礼。
MickeyVisit.com 的创始人Gavin Doyle 在给CNN Travel 的一封电子邮件中说：“在过去的十年里，
迪士尼世界门票增加了101%，顶级年票增加了86%。”
多伊尔说，如果你愿意投入一些时间和研究，人们可以找到降低价格冲击的方法。
多伊尔说：“如果你愿意在需求较少的时期对折扣和旅行做出反应，你会得到更低的人群和价格。”
“我认为迪士尼世界的标准价格是指只有对价格最不敏感的人或那些为特定活动而来的人最终才会支
付的金额。你总是可以找到门票和/或酒店折扣的组合，以节省旅行费用。”
