Disney World’s 2026 Military Ticket Price Hike: 6-Day Park Hopper Rises to $449. Walt Disney World Resort has released the pricing for its 2026 Military Salute Tickets, revealing a substantial increase that will affect thousands of service members and their families planning visits to the Florida parks.
The change is the 6-Day Park Hopper ticket, a popular option, which will now cost $449. This price represents a $10 to $40 increase over the previous widely-offered promotional prices of $435 (plus tax) offer starting February 2nd, 2025 or the $409 (plus tax) that was available through February 1st, 2025, for the 2024 and 2025 seasons.
Disney has a predictable schedule. For years, they have typically announced the new prices in early to mid-October, timed to the start of the new fiscal year and the launch of the following calendar year’s ticket product. This year, Disney announced the new 2026 Ticket prices on Veterans Day 2025. Disney also announced a brand new “Disney Celebrates America Military Salute Ticket,” which is a huge discount for Military members for a year-long ticket, some consider a military annual pass.
The military community relies on the discounted tickets, often referred to as the “Disney Military Salute,” to make family vacations more affordable. The price jump comes despite other ticket options also seeing notable increases.
| Ticket Type | Prior 2025 Promotional Price (Shades of Green) | New 2026 Price (User Reported) | Price Difference |
| 6-Day Park Hopper | $435.00 | $449 | +$14.00 |
| 5-Day Park Hopper | $415.00 | Not Specified | – |
| 4-Day Park Hopper | $395.00 | Not Specified | – |
Note: The $449 price for the 2026 6-Day Park Hopper is $40 higher than the $409 price previously reported for 2024/2025 offers, and $14 higher than the $435 listed for the 2025 Shades of Green promotional ticket.
While the Disney Military Salute Tickets remain significantly discounted compared to general admission multi-day tickets, the recent hike marks a notable step-up in cost for a community that often budgets tightly for family leave.
For comparison, last year’s widely publicized “special offer” for a 6-day Park Hopper was $409. The new $449 price point reflects a near double-digit percentage increase for one of the most purchased tickets.
The new pricing structure for 2026 has been released through official military leisure travel channels and is effective immediately for tickets purchased for the upcoming year. Military families are encouraged to review the full 2026 ticket offerings and associated blackout dates, which typically accompany the promotional tickets.
