October 2025 Price Increases

["El Gran Magnifico"]

I heard they are also going to start vetting the Park Reservation process a little more stringently. You'll be given a questionnaire and a link and then have to watch a video before providing the answers.

The process will determine if your reservation request for the selected date and park is granted.

Here is a sneak peak at the video:

So the food and beverage price increases at this time last year were due to... ??



Don't forget Broadway shows and Taylor Swift concert tickets.

GREED

Don't forget Broadway shows and Taylor Swift concert tickets.

I cant even think what the tickets for the new Rush tour will be going for. They have already added additional shows and the tickets arent even on sale yet!!! Gonna be a little crazy. I'm thinking $400 /$500 low end and up from there. Marie

 

[Sirwalterraleigh]

Just remember, Disney is not your friend, they are not a company of dreamers and story tellers, they do not care about you the guest in any way other than to extract money from you.

Everything else is marketing designed to appeal to morons.

Anyone telling you otherwise is a liar and shill.

…I never considered this before…

2/3 of Rush

The weatherman and all the strategic planning hoopla that corporate acquisition brought with it.

"You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows" 60 years ago, Bob Dylan (possibly a different context....)

So the timing is curious…

They tend to raise prices in October and February…
But I don’t recall this kinda “across the board” pirate tactics before?

…it’s almost like a quarter just ended and they’re lining something up?

Got to make sure YOY growth start with 2026Q1

 

[SamusAranX]

It’s insane. You know they pay next to nothing for the drinks. We all must stop buying them and maybe they’ll reconsider.

Over $200 a day for MK is also insane with a good quarter of the park behind walls

It won’t slow them down. Hint: the reason ticket prices are so high? They used to do reasonable gate price, gouge them when they get in the park. Now? Food/bev and merch spending are down and attendance is down; so they gouge at the gate and in the park, makes their RPG look great but that isn’t best metric to measure long term success by. Problem is that it’s not sustainable in the long run unless Disney world is willing to truly invest and make it an upper class , luxury experience. And they ain’t gonna do that.

Amusement parks are never gonna be covered by Robin leach

True. But they’re already being covered by leaches. Like the ones that got Bogie

 

[HauntedPirate]

Not only that…Rush Sucks

 

[Vegas Disney Fan]

Ohhhh…it’s much more “comfortable” in parks now versus 2015-19…because there is a huge drop in crowds where it counts (ie everywhere but 50 year old ride queues)…

But 2019 BLEW. Overbooked restaurants due to dining plan…those stupid prebooked fast passes that made the place a planning nightmare with windows…thick traffic and no rooms available?

No thanks.

Now the bob-ites will say “that’s what they wanted to do…”



Not for a second…they just simply are bad managers that outkicked their pricing, pushed people away, openly microcharged into oblivion…and earned a declining reputation…

Because their cable empire collapsed from a revenue standpoint, costs went bugnuts in film, and Bob doesn’t have the gall to ever tell his Wall Street leash handlers to have reasonable expectations…

They wanted MORE of everyone paying for these things…nobody ever actively turns more business away. That’s a stupid thing to ever even consider

I’d still take the 2019 experience over the 2025 experience, they could have solved overcrowding via price increases without nickel and diming us to death.

The ticket price is pretty far down on my list of grievances, way below things like the loss of free FP, the loss of free Magical Express, the loss of free luggage delivery, the unbearable food and drink costs, etc… paying $200 a person to get In the door is a lot but it’s not unreasonable, having to spend another $200 per person just to eat, drink, and skip a couple insanely long lines really stings.

Give me the 2019 product at 2025 prices and I’d happily pay it.

Ya know……

As much as we all dislike the price raises…
Admit it -

We are all still going to pay whatever the price is to get our ‘fix’.
And Bob knows that.

Whether you are a furious ranter on the internet, a shallow ‘Disney Shill’ toeing the Company line, or a ‘Pixie Duster’ overflowing with foam, almost all of them will pay up in the end no matter how high the price and no matter how much they complain.
And Bob knows this.

Thus why this keeps going on year after year…with seemingly more people than ever willing to pay the price.
Nothing seems to stop people from wanting to walk through those gates…no matter what hoops they force Guests to jump through or how many upsells they are conned into.
They are all voting with their wallets.
And Bob sees that.

So vote with your wallets kids if you do not like these cash grabbing antics.

AP pricing going up twice in one year?
‘Unprecedented demand’.


Actually, the real reason for the price increases is to pay to demo the former Rivers of America.
Those pumps needed to empty it every time Nature decides to refill is with water are not cheap to rent!
You think Bob is gonna foot that bill?

Aren’t people already voting with their wallets?

 

[Figments Friend]

Aren’t people already voting with their wallets?

Yes, they are.
Which is why Bob can charge whatever he wants and people still pay it.
There is no thershold thanks to the magic of credit / debit cards.

Price doesn’t matter anymore it seems.
Folks open those wallets…no matter what.

Maybe their wallets have money in them and they open them because they want to.

Foolish spending is not caused by or limited to Disney. It’s more a function of the person doing it.
