How Much Are Tickets to Orlando’s Theme Parks?

At Walt Disney World® Resort, Universal Orlando Resort, SeaWorld® Orlando and LEGOLAND® Florida Resort, one-day and multi-day theme park ticket prices are always park- and date-specific, with tickets commanding higher prices during peak visitation periods. Adding a park-hopper option, which allows you to visit multiple parks on the same day, will add to the price, too.

Keep in mind that buying in advance can save you money and time compared to waiting till you’re at the gate. To learn more about your preferred theme parks’ ticket prices, check out the discounted options at Visit Orlando powered by BestofOrlando.com or visit the parks’ websites.
