Park-specific pricing will join date-based pricing for single-day Disney World park tickets

Disney's Animal Kingdom will be the cheapest park to visit, followed by EPCOT, with Magic Kingdom priced the highest at $189.

Do we have any indication of how frequently the upper tiers will be hit?

It might only be Thanksgiving through Christmas and/or other holidays - or it might be more often(?)

I could have sworn this was already a thing. For some reason, I thought Magic Kingdom was priced higher than the other three.

I have nothing to base this on, but I would expect the top to be pretty rare, and the bottom to be pretty rare.

That did happen for a period of time, prior to the date-based pricing. MK carried about a $5 premium over the other parks.

New single-day ticket pricing will price all four parks at the same level

Admission to the other three parks will soon be priced at the same level at the Magic Kingdom.

Magic Kingdom
$124 - $189
~32 Attractions (About 24 Rides)
~$4 ($5) - $6 ($8) per Attraction (Ride)

Disney's Hollywood Studios
$124 - $179
~18 Attractions (Only 9 Rides)
~$7 ($14) - $10 ($20) per Attraction (Ride)

And that's just 2 parks and also not taking into account that a number of these Attractions or Rides are decades old...AND also not including Genie+.

I get it and we keep saying it over and over, but it's just disappointing that pricing out families, value is diminished, quality isn't there anymore, demand is willing to pay, parks are still crowded, and it's a business doing what businesses do to make more money.

I do feel like we are starting to get to that breaking point. I just hate what that could mean though, because how do you come back from it.

Parks were PACKED yesterday my family even said holy shoot it’s crowded and we go often. Demand is there and they do not need a new annual passes apparently

 

[Disney Glimpses]

While they have pricing for all 4 parks, this is really a Magic Kingdom based decision. I have heard they expect yield to increase by over $100 million from this one change.

Yup - every time I visit the parks I'm absolutely shocked by the crowds. Reservations are not doing anything to benefit the guest experience.

Once the event season is over in late January, I'm interested in seeing how crowds play out. Hollywood Studios and Epcot are benefiting from MK party nights, while MK is absolutely abysmal on non-party nights.

DAK right now is pretty manageable after 3/4PM on most days now.

Pretty soon colleges will be offering Disney PHD programs on how to book a Disney vacation

And the long-term plan for the Disney Institute comes clear...

Yup.

Everyone: parks are too crowded

Disney raises prices

Everyone: whoa this is nuts you are pricing everyone out

Parks remain too crowded

I presume that Epcot price is what Disney pays us to go there for them? $10 bonus if we watch Harm?

 

[wdwmagic]

It is always interesting to see Disney rank their parks - especially with a dollar amount.

C'mon, that dirt won't journey itself.

 

[GhostHost1000]

We are approaching a $200 single day ticket.
