thats about a 55% increase in 7 years. given that nuber the price should be around $110 per day in 2014.
You're right, a 3 dollar increase every year won't make it so I can't go. It's just the rates will go up so much that I may not be able to justify a ticket price of 80, 90 or maybe one day in the future 100 dollars. It's just the principle of it all.
If you can't beat them, join them....buy stock.You are so right. It is the principle of the whole thing. It's like you hear that they are doing so well with profits one day and then they raise the price of tickets the next day. It wont stop me from going but it makes me mad.
You don't mean thatIf you can't beat them, joing them....buy stock.
everything goes in cycles. Sooner or later, attendance will drop and Disney will have to offer discounts for people to attend. This usually happens during a recession. With current gas prices and decreased in home values, we aren't that far away. discretionary funds (which is what a trip to Disney is for most) is the first to go...Disney is just trying to make the most while it can.
Do I like it....hell no, as I'm rethinking my next trip. Sure it may not stop me from going all together, but maybe not stay as long or cut my budget in some way. Either way Disney will get the same from me, I just may not be able to do as much as before.
that's the first thing I crossed off my list. :lookaroun I figure I only get 1 day at the MK so something has to goYou don't mean that
Philharmagic waits for you :lookaroun
Stay away from WDW, you peasant!that's the first thing I crossed off my list. :lookaroun I figure I only get 1 day at the MK so something has to go
Trust me, I'm not happy either. I spend a good fortune to go there once a year. And yes, one day prices will be so high we won't be able to go.
Have you gone to any of those attractions? Nemo the musical is horrible...I HATE it. I miss Tarzan Rocks, heck, even the original Jungle Book show was better than Nemo.
And, don't even mention the Nemo ride or the Laugh Floor, they are both horrible and not worth the time.
If these are the best that WDW can do then they can keep their overpriced tickets. Heck, even the Toy Story Mania that is coming to the Studios looks horrible!

Ticket prices are ridiculous! When my AP expires I am not renewing and I am going to stop going to WDW...they keep increasing the price and not adding anything of value to the parks. We keep getting inferior attractions and expensive restaurants. Nothing added in the past year has added any value to the parks. What a waste of time and money WDW is becoming. I prefer Disneyland.
Jungle Book and Tarzan Rocks closed for a reason. Partly due to lack of decent audiences, partly due to them wanting an indoor theater. Nemo has been running to over-sold out performances nearly every day since it openned last fall (per CM's working the attraction).
But you're right. I guess you should just stay home then.
Just remember that you are still new to posting on a WDW fan board. So anything bad you say about an attration so blatenly will set off recoils.

Honestly I found both the Nemo musical and the ride to be boring and pointless. But then again, I don't think 18 year olds are their target audience with those.
If I'm reading this correctly this is not a $4 price difference for us. With a $17 difference on 7 day passes x 4 tickets = $68!!!
That's real money!
Sorry if I missed it, but did anyone find out if AP prices will increase as well, and if so, by how much?
And we all know that everything a CM says is 100% true!! I've seen the Nemo show about 5 times (I gave it a chance) and it is horrible. New attractions almost always are crowded as people want to experience something they haven't seen before. Give it time, it will close just like Tarzan Rocks did...which was still playing to almost full houses everytime I went to it.
And, sure, I am new to POSTING, but I have REGISTERED at this site for over a year and a half. Before that I spent about 4-5 years occasionaly reading posts, but remember at that time I was spending more time actually at WDW working there and then visiting with my annual pass. I wasn't sitting behind my computer in a far off state dreaming about what was going on at WDW...I was living it. So, perhaps I am "NEW" to posting, but I'd wager to say that I spent more time and have seen and done more at WDW than you do. And, a true fan does not follow blindly. Not everything Disney builds at WDW (or any of their parks) is perfect. Just because they built it does not mean I have to like it. So, if you or anyone else cannot handle critisim of a WDW attraction without taking a personal offense, then I feel sorry for you. :king:
