Visiting during the Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas seasons through the end of 2025 will be more expensive. Choosing a date on a weekday or between the holidays will cost you less.
More than three-quarters of the tickets available during the rest of 2025 will fall in the $169 to $224 range. Only 9.4% of tickets will be available at the rock bottom price of $104 during that period.
