And here we go, Disney is the first this year: Disney World ticket prices increase Sunday
Thanks much. I figured an increase was coming but I thought it would be later in the month. I'm doing a few day trips to WDW during my Universal stay in May, so thanks to you, I was able to hop on the site & buy tickets today before tomorrow's price rise. I thought the site might be slow with people trying to get tickets before the raise tomorrow, but it was normal, so I guess the words not out much yet.And here we go, Disney is the first this year: Disney World ticket prices increase Sunday
Only 4% you say. Except prices are already too high and this is once again an increase beyond the rate of inflation.
It was only up October 1, 2016
Totally unrelated but the pic in the article shows the castle with a 45th banner. Is that up currently or was it just for the day? Didn't see it on my last two visits in October and December.
Yes, the seasonal rates are a bit ridiculous..I can't wait to see how much they're going to jack it up post expansionsDisney has introduced so much surge pricing black magic that it seems difficult to do straight comparisons anymore.
The idea that we've moved to a world where it takes several paragraphs to explain a price increase still boggles my mind.

I would be comfortable betting that they redo their entire ticket structure when they open SWL. In the past couple of raises they've made significant increases to their 5,6,7,8,9,10 day rates, way above their other increases. I'm guessing that the big bargain that people used to receive for long stays is going to settle into almost the same price range as short stays. Maybe a little less for a long stay but not much. That's been one of the few areas they've had room to up their profits big time, and accentuating revenue at the expense of everything else, seems to be the focus of Disney now. Like they said when they started My Magic, they want to get everything they can out of their customer's wallets. That was their theme park's chief executive's words, not mine. It tells you a lot about their philosophy, and their actions in the last five years certainly reflect that wasn't mere words, because they've done it aggressively in every area of operations. Squeeze the stone dry.I find it interesting that they are finally putting expiration dates on tickets. Surprising that it took them this long...
