Agree to a certain extent. I don't think Cedar Fair and Six Flags are spending $20+ million on roller coasters or setting their pricing to compete with WDW. They're going after a region. These parks don't care if you go to Disney for a week..they want you there on the rest of the weekends when you're in town. They've all had large increases in admission food and drinks over the past several years as well..and they all had huge growth in the 90s and 2000s. Same with Universal on that front.
We bought our AP on Dec. 31 when they were offering 13 months for price of 12. (Not sure if that is something that is routinely given). We didn't activate it until end of January, so we are good until end of next Feb. With the prices going so high, this will probably be the only time we get one, so plan to use it several times this year if possible.
I said that before the multi-day ticket increases were known. When looking at the AP and single day increases they didn't look that big.
You'd think so, yeah. Disney doesn't like getting those few dollars nipped. Gotta put an end to it.
At the rates the tickets went up it was a pretty good investment. It's virtually impossible to find a 10% return on a product with no risk of losing value. I'm sure this will hurt some of the resellers with deeper pockets that could afford to stockpile tickets.
