The reason Disney and Universal are raising prices is - as the wise Dr. O'Boogie said - it's supply and demand.
I'm less concerned with the price than the value for the price. As crowds increase at Disney, ride waiting times are huge and for your dollar you get a certain degree of misery. We are lucky living down here as we can attend during low crowd periods (after Labor day is best). If Disney wants to raise prices - fine. Create another park to absorb crowds. Disney Seas in Japan is fantastic...the technology and designs already exist. Add Car Land from Disneyland here (the Mouse Studio is perfect for it). Get Avatar built.
All of these will absorb crowds and add value.
At least Universal is adding a new Harry Potter land.
The bottom line is value - not cost.
