Fact Check: Disney Did NOT Say It Offers $10 Park Tickets Satire Label

Did Disney announce in December 2025 that it would offer $10 tickets to the Disney World theme park? No, that's not true: The claim originated from a website with a satire label. As of this writing, neither the Disney World website nor credible media said anything about a price that low.

The claim came from a video (archived here) published on TikTok on December 14, 2025, under the title:

BREAKING: Disney World Announces $10 Park Ticket!

The caption continued:

Who is going to buy a ton of these $10 tickets?! This is so smart for Disney! #disneyworld #disneynews #disneytickets #disneyworldtickets #disneyparks

This is what the video looked like on TikTok at the time of writing:

In the clip, the voice-over said the following:

This will be a limited-time offer where you can get Park Hopper tickets for only $10. We will talk about how you can get these later in the video. However, it will be the least expensive Disney World ticket since 1975. Many people are wondering why Disney would drop their prices on a ticket so much. Ultimately, this is a big marketing and growth opportunity for Disney.

The video continued:

By dropping their prices to $10 per ticket, people will buy up these tickets -- and fast. Now that they have purchased tickets, they will want to plan a Disney vacation in order to use them. This means that they will need to book a hotel, which many will book a Disney Resort. On top of that, they will buy food, drinks, merchandise, paper, Lightning Lane (a service at Disney World) and more. Now people are spending $5,000 to $10,000 on a Disney trip that they weren't originally planning to go on. By offering tickets at $10, millions of people will now plan a full and expensive vacation because of the great ticket price. These tickets will be available for purchase on Disney's website when they go live. However, that date is not yet set.

The voice-over concluded:

Be sure to follow us and visit our website, mousetrapnews.com, for more on these $10 Disney tickets.

The website named in the video, however, had no affiliation with Disney. Furthermore, it was not a real journalistic organization: In the About section (archived here) Mouse Trap News described itself as "the world's best satire and parody site" with "100% made-up" stories.

The disclaimer continued:

We write fake stories about Disney Parks stuff. From Disney Park announcements to Disney Hotel and resort news to made-up Disney partnerships, you can be assured that anything you read here is not true, real, or accurate, but it is fun...

Lead Stories searched the official Disney World website, but found that $10 was either the amount of savings (archived here) promised to the people who already have passes during a specific event or a price for specific services. Among those $10 services were wheelchair rental daily rate during a multi-day stay (archived here) and the pre-tax price for 30-minute kayak rentals (archived here).

As of this writing, neither passholder programs (archived here), nor one-time tickets (archived here) or packages or special offers (archived here) were priced at $10.

Searches on Google News and Yahoo News (archived here) showed no credible reports about the purported deal.

Over the years, people on social media have repeatedly mistaken stories from Mouse Trap News for real media reports. Lead Stories extensively documented such cases.
