I was going through so old Disney News magazines and found this and thought it was interesting. This picture shows the Magic Kingdom ticket prices for the Fall of 1981....

Boy does that bring back memories.

Yeah I was looking at my old park tickets and saw my old 4 day passporter for $92 and some Typhoon Lagoon tickets for $13. Crazy!

Why was 1 day general admission ($9.50) cheaper then 1 day admission for club members ($12.50)? That does not make any sense!

The General Admission tickets were just for access to parks and shows, no rides. There are general public prices listed, which were for non-MKC members.

Take a look at the 1981 one day pass for $13.00 x 4 = $52.00 if there were 4 parks at that time. Now you have 4 parks and a 1 day MYW pass for $59.00. So you have a $7 price raise in 24 years not to bad

You should move west and join the Governator"s economic team; with math like that, you'd fit right in.
