My crying
comes from just being able to scrap enough $ together to get to the world at all before the increase. Unless they offer some good deals on room and/or dining my family will have to stop our tradition of going which just started a couple of years ago. The only way we have made it in the past is using left over PH tickets. So we have only purchase one or 2 tickets each of the last two years. Anyway, Crying over....I just had to vent some.

New year will cost more at Disney
The base prices for a whole range of theme-park ticket offerings will be rising on Sunday.

December 31, 2005
Walt Disney World said Friday that ticket prices for its four parks in Orlando are going up on Sunday, the second of Central Florida's big three theme parks to announce a price increase in recent weeks.
Disney spokesman Craig Dezern said prices are rising 0.8 percent to 5.8 percent depending on the length of stay per ticket.
The basic one-day, one-park ticket will cost $63 plus tax, up from $59.75, or a 5.4 percent increase.
SeaWorld announced on Dec. 14 that it would raise its one-day adult ticket to $61.95 plus tax effective Monday, up 3.7 percent from the previous year.
Universal Orlando still charges $59.75 plus tax for its one-day adult ticket to Islands of Adventure or Universal Studios, unchanged since December 2004.
Universal spokesman Tom Schroder said Friday that the company would have no comment on Disney's latest price increase and would not speculate on when Universal might boost its own prices.
"Our ticket strategy is just not something we would talk about," Schroder said. In most years, however, the three parks raise prices roughly at the same time and generally to the same basic level.
Disney's ticket prices now differ more than ever from those of its competitors, however, as it launched a menu-based ticket pricing plan called Magic Your Way in January 2005, offering a range of ticket options.
A key feature is that longer stays are less expensive on a per-day basis, a strategy that Disney representatives, and industry analysts, say is designed to entice people to extend their visit.
Disney's seven-day Magic Your Way ticket, for example, will cost $204 effective Sunday, up from $199, or a 2.5 percent increase. But the per-day cost averages $29.14, if the ticket-holder visits for all of the seven consecutive days allowed.
A two-day Magic Your Way ticket, by contrast, is rising to $125 from $119, or 5 percent, and that works out to be $62.50 per day.
Florida residents once again are getting a price break, for one-day and three-day tickets.
The one-day Florida-resident ticket is rising to $56.70, from $53.75, up 5.5 percent. The three-day pass will be $120, up 0.8 percent from $119.
Disney's tickets are for ages 10 and older. Various price ranges are available for youngsters 3 to 9. Prices for those various children's tickets as well as various annual passes also will go up effective Jan. 1.
The Magic Your Way pricing menu also allows buyers to add various extra perks for varying amounts of extra cost.
The options include features such as "park hopping" to visit two or more parks on one ticket -- the Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Disney MGM-Studios and Animal Kingdom -- a "nonexpiration" feature, various water park visits, dining and resort stays.
The base prices for a whole range of theme-park ticket offerings will be rising on Sunday.

Yes on the Regular AP
I didn't realize any of this was going on either but was just trying to renew my DWs regular AP as it is good through 1/22/06. Couldn't renew through the AP Gateway online no matter how I tried it so I called.
The CM said that indeed the AP prices were going up tomorrow, 1/1/06, and it was good that I was renewing it now. I guess I'll take the hit on mine in September and my DDs in October.
If you need to renew and can scrape the $$$ together you have less than three hours left before the phone lines close.

We always had AP's, but as DD just started college, we won't be going as often. We just got back last tuesday, and I bought 10 day hoppers, with no expiration while we were there. We only used 4 days, so I am good for at least one more trip, and maybe one and a half!
