I think MK and Epcot are the best, and most worth your money. I actually prefer Epcot. Definitely my favorite Disney park. Still, I think the charging extra for MK is dumb.MK is the only complete park.
The others should actually cost much less. At Epcot, you're essentially paying $90 admission to a food and beverage festival.
I think Epcot is the most well rounded.
Just another reason I will not be riding the Dwarves mine train as I let my Disney passes expire in 3 more months.
How does the 1-day ticket price increase at MK in any way impact your decision on whether to renew your AP or not?
AP prices increased also.
Honestly, one day at Magic Kingdom is not worth $95. More than half the rides are outdated, slow, and boring. The park is way over capacity every day of the summer and waiting in 90 minute lines sucks if you're only going for a day. Food is overpriced and isn't even that great.
Same goes for every theme park. Maybe if tickets were $70, it'd be okay. Heck, a typical amusement park is only $30. I know the quality between an amusement park and theme park is a great difference, but it's amazing how much more expensive Disney World is than everything else.
I still love Disney World, but looks like I won't be visiting anytime again soon (went last year, family spent at least $4,000 for only four days).
When Cedar Fair the rollercoaster mecca of the east is only $45 for an adult ticket, Six Flags Magic Mountain the west coast largest coaster congregation is $39.99-64.99 for a base day, and Busch Gardens Williamsburg the debatable best theme park on the east cost outside of Orlando has a base day at $70 it starts to make going else where REALLY appetizing.
Do you really want to travel to any of those places though?
Williamsburg is the only one I'd even consider spending a vacation at, but that's because there are plenty of historical attractions within driving distance.
Disney and Universal are so expensive because they're better than everyone else and are destination resorts.

Exactly, it is hard to compare a regional park to parks that have national and even international draw.
And to say Disney and Universal are better is a statement of WDWMagic fan boy levels. They do immerse theme, shows and sit down dining better. Beyond that, not really. Regional parks tend to have more rides spread across all age ranges.
