WDW Ticket Prices

[FutureCEO]

It's that time of year where Disney usually ups their ticket prices. So any rumblings of an increase?

 

[Hakunamatata]

Can we just link to the thread from last time and call it a day?

 

[GhostHost1000]

Yes I'm hearing rumors about this along with possible changes to some of the options like no expiration going away and something about possible park hopper with 1 day water parks (or something like that not sure)

That would be nice.

 

[ImagineerDude]

I feel like this doesn't happen until like May or June...?

This happened in Feb of 2014, so yes.

MK....$99.99

 

[danlb_2000]

I am wondering if they will make some other changes in pricing to avoid raising the base ticket over that psychological barrier of $100.00.

No. MK will go over $100. But not the other 3, if that makes you feel better.

Doesn't make a difference if it is only one park, the headlines will still read "Disney ticket pass $100 a day".

possible park hopper with 1 day water parks (or something like that not sure)

That already exists according to allearsnet:

1 Day Magic Kingdom With Park Hopper & Water Park Fun & More Ticket 2 visits $191.70 per adult after tax

Or did you mean a multi-day park hopper with just a 1-day water park add on?

I'm not sure i understood that part of what I heard or if it was a done deal or just something that has been discussed. I'll do some digging

Shows how much attention I pay. Luckily I still have around 10 days left. Will definitely effect how I go. I will end up at Universal and Sea World more. I would rather spread my money around than just give it to a company that just doesn't care about me.

Disney usually has TWO price increases, One in each half of the fiscal year to bump up the numbers for the 'Street

WHISKEY-TANGO-FOXTROT moment, That kind of money almost will buy you a FL Resident AP at UNI!!!!!

No - The 'Street is more important to them, The next earnings call should be interesting we'll hear 'P&R margins have significantly improved due to price increases and improved operational efficiencies' (What we call CUTS)

 

[Clamman73]

Would love to know ahead of time if they plan on doing away with no expiration so I can get a couple of 10 day passes. The price difference would be pretty dramatic for me. 2 - 10 day adult tickets (20 days total) without any extras would cost $708 at current prices. 5 - 4 day tickets (also 20 days) would be $1470. So for 3 people in my family it would cost an extra $2286. That's crazy and would definitely influence how often and for how many days I went to Disney.

I'm thinking the same thing - just get two of the ten day hopper no-expir. and be set for a while. Still have two days left on my 10 day.

As much as I love Disney, you have to understand they are a business (quite a lucrative one at that) so yes the street is most likely #1 to them, just like any public company. That doesn't stop me from going to places like Target or Home Depot just because the street is #1. I try my best to totally forget that fact as soon as I pass the gates and just enjoy Disney for what it is... for me its the escape from all the garbage going on around us.

I found this to be such a good value, I bought 15. Our typical day involves 3 visits to each theme park, 6 visits to DQ and we hit up each water park 2-5 times (need to have some flexibility here for relaxation).
