Next month marks the one-year anniversary of the most recent ticket price increases at Disneyland and Walt Disney World. Given that price increases have become an annual tradition for Disney, it’s probably a good bet that the next one is coming sooner, rather than later.
Oh boy, the real reason for Pixar Pier.
I am off to Knott's today to check out the arrival of the new HangTime cars, and enjoy my free meal with my SP plan. And this summer, Kings Dominion and Carowinds will take my Knott's Pass, Six Flags America and Busch Gardens Williamsburg (Sea World) also are covered by my SP's.

Next month marks the one-year anniversary of the most recent ticket price increases at Disneyland and Walt Disney World. Given that price increases have become an annual tradition for Disney, it’s probably a good bet that the next one is coming sooner, rather than later.
But no matter when Disney next increases the price of its theme park tickets and annual passes, I’ll also bet you that the parks will remain packed after it hits. Rising prices do not seem to deter fans from visiting Disney’s theme parks. Why?
If you want an annual pass, you can get a year’s worth of theme park visits for far less at Knott’s Berry Farm, Six Flags Magic Mountain, Universal Studios Hollywood, Legoland – heck, at pretty much any theme park in the United States. You can buy a year’s pass at most of those parks for less than the cost of a single day’s Park Hopper at the Disney Resort. So why aren’t more theme park fans abandoning Disney for those alternatives?
Because Disney isn’t just a theme park. It’s a lifestyle. Disneyland is filled with people who watch Disney movies, and kids who play with Disney toys. Disney has reinvented itself over the past generation to become a lifestyle brand – with movies, online services, TV networks, books, music, home décor, clothing, a cruise line and theme parks to entice fans to spend all their free time and money with the Mouse.
That’s why Paradise Pier is becoming Pixar Pier, and the Tower of Terror became a Guardians of the Galaxy ride. For a lifestyle brand to succeed, its movies, TV shows, consumer products and theme park attractions all must work together to promote each other, creating a web of branding that provides a comfy, enticing home for consumers. It’s a one-stop solution for all your entertainment needs.<<Oh boy, the real reason for Pixar Pier.
