Walt Disney World has announced another unprecedented new special offer for discounted multi-day tickets for Winter & Spring 2026 available to the general public starting at only $109 per day! This covers visit dates & deal details, plus our commentary about why it’s being offered, the big downside, if it makes sense to buy, and how you can make it work despite that ‘big downside.’
This is the latest of several discounts that Walt Disney World has already released for 2026. For a full rundown, we’d recommend checking out our running list of all of the discounts currently available from Walt Disney World. This includes special offers for the general public, Florida and Georgia residents, military members, and everyone else.
If you’re interested in this Disney+ ticket deal, you’re presumably looking at general public room discounts, and the most notable of these thus far for 2026 are the Save Up to $250 Per Night at Walt Disney World in Winter to Summer 2026 and Save Up to 25% Off Disney World Resorts from January to Spring Break 2026 special offers. There will almost assuredly be another wave of discounts released in early 2026, with some overlap between those travel dates and this Disney+ ticket deal eligibility window. Speaking of which, let’s dig into the official details here…
Disney+ subscribers enrolled in Disney+ Perks can get a special 3-Day, 3-Park Ticket to select theme parks at Walt Disney World Resort this spring—starting at $109 per day, plus tax (total price starting at $325 plus tax).
Valid for admission to Disney’s Hollywood Studios, EPCOT and Animal Kingdom. Like last summer’s 3-Park Ticket Deal, this is not valid for admission to Magic Kingdom.
Limit one admission per theme park, one theme park per day—for a total of 3 admissions, on 3 separate days. Theme park reservations are not required with this ticket.
Note that in order to purchase, you must be a Disney+ subscriber that’s also enrolled in the Disney+ Perks program. Disney+ Perks is what it sounds like–a loyalty program for Disney+ subscribers, featuring special discounts, chances to win and everyday value offerings. Disney+ Perks requires an active Disney+ subscription and enrollment in the program.
To enroll, visit Disney+ Perks and log in using the email that is associated with your active Disney+ subscription. Then, follow the prompts to complete enrollment.
Dates & Ticket Usage
This is a date-based ticket with start dates from January 12 to May 22, 2026. Ticket must be used within 5 days of selected start date.
Ticket may not be used to enter the same theme park more than once. All tickets and options are nontransferable and nonrefundable, and exclude activities/events that are separately priced or not open to the general public.
Stay & Play! Upgrade to a Package
For even more magic, book a package that includes a room at a Walt Disney World resort hotel and this specially priced ticket for Disney+ subscribers enrolled in Disney+ Perks.
Ticket Add-On Option
You can choose this special 3-Day, 3-Park Ticket and add on the Water Park and Sports Option—for just $70 more per ticket, plus tax.
With this option, visit one theme park per day (Disney’s Hollywood Studios, EPCOT and Disney’s Animal Kingdom theme park only; again, excluding Magic Kingdom). Plus, get a certain number of visits to a water park, golf course or miniature golf course.
All tickets and options are nontransferable and nonrefundable, and exclude activities/events separately priced or not open to the general public.

You can purchase the 3-Day, 3-Park Walt Disney World Ticket Deal for Winter & Spring 2026 here (Disney+ login required).
If you want to help determining discounts that are available for your travel dates and which will work best for your family, we highly recommend requesting a quote from Be Our Guest Vacations, a no-fee Authorized Disney Vacation Planner.
The agents there will do the math for you, booking your vacation with the best-available special offer, and monitoring your package for future discounts that can be applied retroactively. That’s especially noteworthy here, as there are ways to combine this with other deals, including (but not limited to) the Free Kids Disney Dining Plan in 2026.
Just to underscore the point: this 3-day, 3-park ticket is NOT not valid for admission to Magic Kingdom.
It’s a three day ticket, with one day spent in each of the other three parks. You cannot do multiple days in any of the parks–it’s a single day at each! (Note that this does not mean you can only enter the park once; same-day re-entry is allowed with these tickets.)
If the 3-Day, 3-Park Ticket Deal for Winter & Spring 2026 sounds familiar, that’s good–it should. Something very similar was offered each of the last few summers, albeit for the general public and with lower starting prices. For reference, this summer’s deal offered discounted tickets starting at $89 per day ($267 total, plus tax) for visits starting on April 6 through September 22, 2025. It likewise excluded Magic Kingdom.
One key difference is that 3-Park Walt Disney World Ticket Deal that just ended encompassed several of the cheapest dates of the entire year in August and September, whereas the upcoming 2026 deal covers mostly more expensive dates during the winter season, which continues to increase in popularity, as well as Spring Break, which has been popular for as long as I’ve been alive–probably longer.
That’s also why this is a somewhat unprecedented deal. Although there have been general public discounts for winter and spring in the past, they’re rare. This is usually the time of year when Florida resident ticket deals are offered (expect to see one soon), and although those offer superior savings, they also have a residency requirement–a high barrier to entry for most tourists.
By contrast, this is basically a general public discount since it only requires a subscription to the Disney+ streaming service, which anyone can join without uprooting their lives and moving their family cross-country. In fact, there will probably be great deals of Disney+ around Black Friday and Cyber Monday (there usually are). This isn’t like a resort room-only discount with limited availability–no reason to rush to purchase this ticket deal!
Also like last summer, pricing is date-based, which means the above costs are the starting rates for the 2026 Disney+ Perks Tickets.
While the ticket starts at $109 per day, the dates offering that price are most likely to be during the lower points during January and February 2026 outside of winter breaks and holiday weekends and again during shoulder season. In other words, you’re going to be paying more around Presidents Day/Mardi Gras, Spring Break, Easter, and other higher-demand dates.
This should be unsurprising, and it tracks with date-based pricing for regular multi-day tickets. As such, the savings is fairly close to static, because as the price of the 3-Park Ticket increases, regular tickets also go up by roughly corresponding amounts.
As before, this ticket deal is a savvy way to “nudge” guests to visit parks other than Magic Kingdom. If left to their own devices, tourists would not visit Animal Kingdom and EPCOT in the same numbers or with the same frequency as Magic Kingdom (also known simply as “Disneyworld” to many casual guests) or Disney’s Hollywood Studios (aka “The Star Wars Park” or “The One With All the ‘Big’ Rides and New Stuff”).
The 3-Day, 3-Park Ticket for Winter & Spring 2026 essentially accomplishes that, with its purchasers spending 33% of their vacation days at each park…and 0% of their time at Magic Kingdom. This makes it a fantastic deal for Walt Disney World visitors on a budget or those who dedicate a day to each park except the most popular one.
This is a savvy approach and better one than Disney attempted with park reservations in the past because it’s voluntary. Instead of trying to manipulate behavior, it essentially proposes a trade: you skip Magic Kingdom, vist the other 3 parks, and you get a discount. The idea is that guests on tighter budget will agree to this offer. It’s a win for them! It’s a win for Walt Disney World! Everyone goes home (or rather, to the parks) happy!
As for the “why?” of this deal, it’s the same reason as each of the last few years. Post “revenge travel,” we’ve mentioned repeatedly that Walt Disney World is pulling out the ‘2019 discount playbook’ in trying to maintain strong numbers. It has largely worked, as evidenced by record revenue results and Walt Disney World’s relatively strong (or at least stable) performance in the annual attendance rankings.
There are more variables for 2026, though. One is the ongoing construction of Animal Kingdom. By the time this deal rolls around, that project will be over one year old. However, it’s really kicking into high gear in 2026, with the extinction-event of DINOSAUR on February 2, 2026 being an especially big deal. I hate to spoil our upcoming review, but Zootopia: Better Zoogether is not an adequate offset to that headliner closing.
It’s going to be a challenge for Walt Disney World to tread water with Animal Kingdom until Tropical Americas opens in 2027. Assuming a typical project cadence, the best case scenario for that new land is likely October through December 2027. First half of the year or even summer is looking highly unlikely.
Then there’s Epic Universe down the road, Universal Orlando’s new third theme park.
Disney’s official position has been that a “rising tide lifts all boats.” They’ve been vindicated in this perspective thus far, aided by both mixed word of mouth on Epic Universe, its chaotic crowds, and restrictive ticket policies. But at least one of those things (the last one) will change in 2026, and it remains to be seen whether that means guests spending more days at Universal.
Without question, Walt Disney World will lose market share to Universal Orlando. Visitors to Central Florida have limited vacation time, and the park they’re most likely to visit is Magic Kingdom. Let’s say they’re coming for Epic Universe and will stay on-site at Universal Orlando–they’re most likely to add a day at Magic Kingdom on the side. Let’s say they’re coming for Walt Disney World and will stay on-site there–they’re most likely to sacrifice Animal Kingdom in order to add-on a day at Epic Universe.
You get the idea. Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom are the most clear-cut examples and these trends probably will play out at both parks. Less clear is what happens with Disney’s Hollywood Studios and EPCOT in the middle. Maybe DHS sees a slight bump as Epic Universe attendees also want to see the Star Wars stuff. Perhaps Walt Disney World guests cut EPCOT–or maybe locals pick up the slack since Epic Universe still won’t have APs in 2026. It’s hard to say.
But the salient point concerns the two ‘kingdom’ parks, and this 3-Park Ticket broadly exists to commit people to multiple on-site days at Walt Disney World that include Animal Kingdom. It’s kind of a brilliant move from a captive audience and guest spending perspective, stepping up to (partially) fill the gap left by the end of Disney’s Magical Express and declining popularity of the Disney Dining Plan.
Obviously, this 3-Park Ticket isn’t going to change the equation for guests who otherwise would’ve only purchased single day tickets to Magic Kingdom (still Walt Disney World’s best-selling ticket type to my knowledge), but it will be enticing for guests considering multi-day vacations and visits. It should move the needle to a meaningful degree, and not just at the margins.
Should You Buy the 3-Park Ticket Deal for 2026?
As for whether we’d recommend the 3-Park Ticket Deal for 2026 to Walt Disney World visitors, that depends. First, there’s the threshold question of whether you’re willing to skip Magic Kingdom and visit the other three parks? If so, do you intend upon spending an entire day at each of them? Would you skip the Park Hopper option?
If the answer to all of those questions is yes, then buying this ticket is the right decision for you. If you’re on a tight budget and a vacation to Walt Disney World is already stretching your vacation dollars, then this ticket offer also probably makes sense if it fits pretty with your vacation parameters or is “close enough.”
In pricing out Walt Disney World tickets, it should be fairly obvious that the 3-Park ticket is a good deal–and that’s even as compared to discounts offered by authorized third party ticket sellers. As compared to front gate prices, this is a tremendous savings on admission. We haven’t done the math on this version of the deal yet, but it can often save over $50 per person, per day.
Accordingly, if you’re a bottom dollar kind of visitor and this works within your Walt Disney World vacation plans, it’s a pretty open and closed case. You should buy one of these Disney+ Perks 3-Park Tickets for your Walt Disney World trip–it’s a good to great promo for your circumstances. It’s rare to see this deep of discounts offered to the general public on tickets, and it’s a really attractive offer even considering the “catch.”
Magic Kingdom Ticket ‘Hack’
Even if you want to visit Magic Kingdom, the 3-Park Ticket Deal might work for you!
One great use case is for those who are planning to attend 2026 After Hours at Magic Kingdom. The savings offered by this 3-Day Walt Disney World 2026 Ticket Deal make it easier to justify the high cost of an After Hours event. This is just one example, there are probably many other use cases for the 3-Day Disney+ Perks Ticket–you know your circumstances and priorities best.
If your trip is time-constrained, you could do morning and early afternoon at Animal Kingdom, and then bounce over to Magic Kingdom in the early evening for the After Hours hard ticket event. Or, you could do After Hours on a different day completely, enjoying pool time or Disney Springs on your After Hours morning.
Either way, you’d be able to spend a half day at Magic Kingdom, and during a time when rides have significantly lower wait times. If you’re a ride junkie, After Hours will be all you need–you’ll get more done than during a full day in the park.
This 2026 ticket deal is going to be a good option for families wanting to cut costs and reduce their vacation budget. It’s also a good option for those with 5+ day trips who are looking to spend a day or two at Epic Universe and not the rest of Universal Orlando.
Paired with one of the room-only discounts that’s currently available (you might need to book these separately since it says this deal cannot be combined with special offers–in the past, the workaround was separate transactions), this ticket should make a Walt Disney World vacation possible for some people who might’ve previously thought it was out of reach. Or it might be able to make the trip cheaper, and allow for splurging elsewhere. It’s a really great deal–and a rare general public ticket discount.
However, the 3-Park, 3-Day Ticket deal is not for everyone, and we would encourage those who are on the fence to give it more thought and consider whether the savings are enough to overcome this ticket’s shortcomings. As with everything, there’s no one-size-fits-all advice when it comes to Walt Disney World, but this is not a ticket that we would personally purchase or recommend to most first-timers or infrequent visitors.
As explained in our Money-Saving Guide to Walt Disney World Tickets, we are huge Park Hopper fans and advocates. That’s one of the first and highest-priority splurges we’d recommend making, even if it comes at the expense of table service meals, Lightning Lanes, or just about anything else.
That’s especially true for those with fewer days at Walt Disney World. Of course, it’s not the case for parents with small children or anyone else who realistically won’t spend all day in the parks.
Although all of them can be full-day parks, we struggle with recommending that first-timers or infrequent visitors spend 33% of their vacation time at Animal Kingdom. It can be difficult to assert that the average first-time visitor is going to want to spend more time at Animal Kingdom than Magic Kingdom.
This will be doubly true in 2026, when the park is down a headliner ride. (See Should You Skip Animal Kingdom?, addressing whether you shouldn’t go to DAK at all during your trip.) We love Animal Kingdom, but the reality is that there’s a reason for the chorus of complaints about it being only a “half-day” park. Even right now, it’s pretty easy to knock out all of the headliner rides before lunch, without Lightning Lanes.
Realistically, it’s just not a good allocation of vacation time for most people to spend less (or potentially no, if you don’t splurge on After Hours) time at Magic Kingdom than at Animal Kingdom. This isn’t just our bias or personal preferences–there are stats to support it. Animal Kingdom sees millions fewer annual guests than Magic Kingdom.
Just some food for thought if you’re considering the new special 3-Day, 3-Park Walt Disney World Ticket Deal for 2026. Objectively speaking, it’s a great discount with prices starting at $109 per day, plus tax for a total price starting of $325. As far as quasi-general public discounts go, you won’t do any better than this. Subjectively speaking, you’re making a major compromise by skipping Magic Kingdom, which is the most visited theme park in Walt Disney World (and the world) for good reason.

Will you be purchasing the Disney+ 3-Day/3-Park Ticket for 2026?

Think this is a good option for those who want to add-on a day or two at Epic Universe? What about the notion of doing a split day at Animal Kingdom followed by a hard ticket event that same night at Magic Kingdom? Any questions we can help you answer?
