News Disneyland raises prices for most daily admission tickets and all annual passes

[DCBaker]

Here are the details from the Orange County Register.

Day passes​

Price hikes on regular daily tickets and multiday passes vary from $5 to $65, depending on the offering. This represents increases from 3.9% to 15.7%

• Single-day tickets for one park are priced according to their expected popularity, with seven different pricing levels.
• The cost of a single-day ticket remains at $104 for the least-busy weekdays, but all others will cost visitors more.
• With the increase, daily admission prices will be $104, $119, $134, $154, $169, $184 or $194, depending on the day.

Park Hopper

The Park Hopper add-on, which allows visitors to visit both parks in the same day, increased for multi-day passes, up $5 to $15 depending on the number of days. The single-day park-hopper addition remains $65, with no price increase, so park-hopper tickets will run $169-$259 per day.

Magic Key annual passes​

There are four levels of annual pass, depending on blackout dates and perks. The new price structure increases from 3.1% for the priciest Inspire pass to 21.5% of the midlevel Enchant pass.

• Inspire pass: $1,649, up $50
• Believe pass: $1,249, up $150
• Enchant pass: $849, up $150
• Imagine pass: $499, up $50

Parking​

It will now set you back $35 to park a passenger car at the theme parks, up $5 for most types of parking. Most hotel parking also went up $5.

Downtown Disney is the only parking cost that remains unchanged, at $10 for the first hour to a maximum of $66 for the day, without validation.

Wow…

They are bleeding cash and simply expecting the same customers to make up the difference.

Simply
Awful

Imagine spending $194 to go to Disneyland. You could almost fill up your gas tank with that kind of money.

 

[MoonRakerSCM]

I'm probably not renewing

Enough left over for In-n-Out?

 

[Phroobar]

You all will still pay it because monthly payments takes the sting out of it. They should charge interest on the monthly payments.

Are Magic Keys on sale yet?

The parks are one of the only things making money for the company at this point.

Queue the outrage and meltdowns that will happen before people forget about it in a week and buy tickets anyways.

“The company”…

…what time is your shift?

You do have a point there

But defend $150 increases…that’s stretching it

We are on a Disney message board, not crazy to imply that "the company" means The Walt Disney Company.

If the keys are selling out and people will pay it, the company should increase prices.

I'd rather the company increase prices than do cutbacks, sadly it's usually both though.

In practice…only name tags call it “the company”

You have a point about price vs cutbacks…
…and yes - they’re doing both. Erosion of value to the customer - an Iger calling card

Happy to say I do not work for the walt disney company. At one point I wanted to though.

The time-honored annual tradition:

-Disney raises prices at a similar rate as usual
-Social media melts down - "How can they POSSIBLY justify charging so much?!?"
-Magic Keys continue to sell out within hours, if not minutes
-Social media complains about how crowded the place is
-Repeat

Just need to add the faux outrage articles from the LA Times and we have a complete cycle. I'm sure a Times writer is working this right now.

Ah, the time honoured tradition of Disney raising prices and people declaring they've finally gone too far and will price everyone out.

Has been a yearly occurrence since, what, 1980?

 

[Disney Analyst]

Do you know what really grinds my gears? Concert ticket prices these days.

Now that industry has seen a huge increase in prices as of late, it’s shocking, for 2ish hours of entertainment.

Now this I agree with:



DCA should have different pricing. Point blank, period.
