Rumor - Disneyland Prices Going up and Tiered Pricing Introduced

[Californian Elitist]

The problem is, a large percentage seem to use their pass multiple times per month. Or per week!

Why is that a problem? People want to get their money's worth. If these people are spending money during each visit, Disney is not complaining.

Disney doesn't see that as a problem, but also the vast majority of APs do not visit more than 1-2x a month, especially on the lower tiered passes.

Problem.....

People scoring spots early before a show starts has been a thing for years.

I agree, it is a problem that the woman on the right thinks she can wear that cone thing on her head.

Value: $95, Regular: $105, Peak: $119. Starts tomorrow. 1 day tickets only, but multi day tickets have increased $10-$20 each.

This has also started at WDW, with a two-tiered system where there's a higher price for Magic Kingdom and a lower price for the other three theme parks across all three steps of the Value, Regular and Peak calendar dates.

Disneyland has the biggest price spread of $24 from Value to Peak, whereas WDW has only a $19 price spread for Magic Kingdom and $17 for the other three parks.

The OC Register has a front page story out today, with additional info and interviews with Disneyland visitors. No one in the article seems to care about the price increases, and they feel they get their money's worth when they go to Disneyland. TDA appears to know what they are doing on this one.

Anyone know if I buy tickets today for a trip in 2017 if they will remain just as valid even with new price increases?

$10-$20 per day?

$10-$20 per day?

No - the 2 day ticket total price has gone up $10, the 3-5 day tickets have gone up $20.

Anyone heard anything about the calendar for this yet? What will be value v. peak?

Thanks! That's not bad. We're planning on first DL trip for May and just trying to figure out if we need to get our tickets today to save some $$$ or if it's not worth it to rush.

There are going to be 83 value days in the remainder of 2016. Most days will be regular, with peak coming when you'd expect it to fill in the gaps.

We're planning mid-May, after Food and wine festival has ended so hopefully we'll get regular pricing.

I'm gettign 2 day park hoppers for my trip this April and I'm going to buy today. The extra $20 will go towards a shirt for something for my daughter.

Eliminating the monthly payment option would also eliminate a nice chunk of APs, arguably Disneyland's main audience. It's not happening.

Well it will happen if Disney can find a way to offset the decline in APs with more premium pass holders and extend tourist stays. The restructuring of AP offerings last fall and the upcoming tiered pricing is an indication that Disney is getting serious about adding more restrictions to its admissions media and shooting straight for the higher end customer.

Problem.....

And people talk about how SW Land will "ruin" the park. What about this nonsense?

Did you read the whole article? Not everyone was ok with it.

Yeh, this is awful. A real atmosphere killer for me
