Higher prices -> lower attendance -> shorter lines -> less complaining, all while collecting more profit. Seems like a big win for Disney.

The time will come when they add one too many straws and attendance collapses. Unfortunately, that may be several more price increases away.

It’s $130. now family members were there 3 weeks ago. Guess Disney isn’t in it for the kids anymore. It’s all about how much will pay to entertain their kids!

Just a moment...

There is a break point in visit days total where an annual pass is better price than a ticket package. If you go down more than once in a year you may also do better with an annual pass.

The Disney World prices are always raised annually in October, the anniversary (fiscal year?) of the park opening. Other times sporadically.

Long time Disney World fans since park opened 50+ years ago and Disney Vacation Club members. Boy has it changed.

Our rate of inflation is running just under 3% over last year. Disney’s 7% increase this year coming after an increase in Oct 2023 is a bit more than double inflation.

There may be places to purchase tickets at a discount but for the straight ticket prices the Disney website is best. Different prices for different days and different parks but $150 for one day is probably a good number to work with. Each subsequent day is a little less. Park hopping privileges add to the price.

For us, living fairly close means we might visit six times per year. That would be $900 for six single days in a single park compared to about $900 to renew our annual pass. For us, the annual pass easily saves us money.

No they won't. We didn't renew our annual passes last year because we were tired of the prices and the direction that Disney is going. Hello Epic Universe!

The 1st. time they tried to charge us for parking at the hotel, I asked why were they doing this after so many years of free parking at hotels as well as free parking we still got at the parks? The nice guy checking us in said "I'll tell you..... when we were at a meeting and this was being explained to us I asked the same question. The BIG SHOT giving the talk said to the entire room of employees "BECAUSE WE CAN!" He then said to me "I'm sorry" and "Walt is probably rolling in his grave." (I don't think he was buried.) I lived with it til they got "Woke" and I decided that I had enough. Good bye WDW. :(

“Woke” is an adjective that means being aware of and attentive to important issues, especially those related to social and racial injustice. So then Jesus was 'woke' too.

There has never been a price decrease since Disney began would not hold out for one. The annual increase will stop for each individual when they stop going or pass.

That was the purported definition when the word originally became common vernacular. It has since become the description of the over-the-top identity politics that has come to exist in our daily lives. There is nothing wrong with some reasonable social and racial justice until it becomes the sole focus of every aspect of every facet of daily existence. Jesus would not be woke by the current definition, he would be appalled.

Respectfully disagree.
Jesus was definitely "Woke", per the previous definition. He was certainly not asleep, or unaware of his surroundings or the needs of all people.
I do agree that he would be appalled, but it would be for how diametrically opposed to his teaching so many "Christians" really are.
jmho. 🙏😔

As one would think all "Christians" would be.

Wrong! While yes it is pricey, and is an addition to the ticket price, the cost varies by day. From the Disney World website:

“At Walt Disney World, Lightning Lane Premier Passes will cost between $129 and $449 per person per day, depending on the park and date.”

It will only be available to guests of some of the Disney World resort hotels during the initial roll out.

Disneyland Resort prices will be different (lower I think).
