Cost of Disney Magic Rises

Tampa Bay area residents who don’t mind making the drive down Interstate 4 to enjoy a little Disney magic will find themselves paying more at the gate for an annual pass.

Disney has rolled out a new pricing structure for its passes that include entry to the Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Disney’s Hollywood Studios and Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Gone is the $329 season pass, replaced by gold and silver passes. These new passes come at a price of $389 and $549, respectively, for Florida residents and do have some blackout dates. There’s also a weekday select pass for those who don’t mind missing the weekend crowds. That pass costs $259.

For those who want the ultimate Disney experience, a new platinum pass is now available. It comes with no blackout dates and includes parking, Disney PhotoPass and other perks. That pass costs $649 for in-state guests and $749 for out-of-state residents.

One-day tickets for the Magic Kingdom are $105 for those ages 10 and up.

The new pricing structure was rolled out on Sunday.
