It’s the tickets that nail you. There is very little incentive now for multi day tickets. A 7 day base ticket was about $225, it became heavily discounted as you added days. Now that same ticket is around $800 depending on the day. That’s before adding on park hopper.
Everyone keeps saying it’s inflation, but I have yet to find anything that scales with inflation show almost 400% increase in cost. It looms like they’re trying to correct this by offering steeper discounts on 4 day tickets during certain promotions.
