Disney World has unveiled an enticing ticket deal exclusively for Disney+ subscribers that promises significant savings for those planning a visit to the theme park. With this new offer, Disney+ subscribers can purchase a 3-Day, 3-Park Ticket, allowing them to explore much of what the resort has to offer. Each day of the ticket is priced at an attractive $109, making it an affordable option for families looking to enjoy some magic without breaking the bank.

This ticket deal includes access to EPCOT, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and Disney’s Animal Kingdom but does not feature the iconic Magic Kingdom. Guests must use their tickets within five days of their selected start date, adding a touch of flexibility for those wanting to maximize their Disney experience.

The offer is available from January 12, 2026, through May 22, 2026, making it a great opportunity for Disney+ subscribers to plan a spring getaway to the happiest place on Earth.

One notable aspect of the new ticket deal is the exclusion of Magic Kingdom, which has sparked curiosity and concern among visitors. The decision to leave out Magic Kingdom, the most recognized and beloved park of the resort, stems largely from the higher operating costs and demand associated with this iconic attraction. As the flagship theme park, Magic Kingdom typically commands the highest ticket prices, regularly surpassing $200 for a single day.

This exclusion may influence visitor choices significantly, as families often cherish the idea of spending their days in the enchanting Magic Kingdom filled with beloved characters and classic attractions.
Nevertheless, the alternative parks included in the deal, such as EPCOT, with its immersive cultural experiences, and Animal Kingdom, renowned for its incredible wildlife attractions, offer exciting experiences in their own right.

When compared with the sprawling and fairy-tale setting of Magic Kingdom, EPCOT and Animal Kingdom each provide unique offerings that cater to diverse interests. EPCOT is well-known for its blend of technology and culture, showcasing international pavilions and innovative rides.
Meanwhile, Animal Kingdom captivates visitors with its emphasis on nature and conservation, featuring thrilling rides like Expedition Everest.

Upcoming Changes in Disney Parks

As Disney continues to evolve, guests can also anticipate new attractions and renovations across its parks, promising fresh experiences for visitors. In Magic Kingdom, a new area called Piston Peak is underway, inspired by Pixar’s beloved Cars franchise. This upcoming location will include thrilling attractions, such as a car racing ride reminiscent of Disneyland’s Radiator Springs Racers, enriching the sense of adventure that the park embodies.

Transformations in Animal Kingdom

Animal Kingdom is also undergoing remarkable transformations, with plans to bid farewell to its dinosaur-themed attractions while introducing popular Disney properties like Indiana Jones and Encanto. With a section of DinoLand closing permanently, excitement builds around the new family-friendly attractions that will emerge in its place, further enhancing the park’s offering.

Developments at Hollywood Studios

Hollywood Studios is not left behind, as significant changes take shape. Recent closures of areas like Muppets Courtyard will lead to the establishment of a new land based on Pixar’s Monsters Inc., featuring fresh attractions and a suspended roller coaster. These developments signal Disney’s commitment to continually innovate and enrich the experiences available to guests.
