Disney world increased prices every year since they opened and will continue. In 2018 they increased prices three times but not three times on AP's. They did gradually. They increased one day tickets, then another time multi-way tickets and then the AP. Disney hasn't had a demand to increase ap's twice until last year. Disney has made a few new rides not many. That didn't break the bank, Ha ha. Disney hasn't made another land except for toy story land in Hollywood studios June 2018. So you have toy story land a year before Star Wars. In 2021 expect for prices to increase because magic kingdom will be open Tron. Epecot is under renovations. I saw a few new rides coming to Epcot that are all ready at Euro Disney & Disney Land, etc.
Right but Disney had already increased their prices in Feb of 2017. Pandora opened in May 2017. The next increase was 2018 three times. 1) one day tickets. 2) multi day tickets. 3) one day and Muti day tickets increased 2019, annual passes increased in feb 2019 and oct 2019 annual passes increased feb 2020. I'm talking more about increases. I know pandora was big but ticket prices didn't increase until 8 months after the opening. Star Wars brings in more money then Pandora. Disney world, Disneyland, Euro Disney all have Star Wars land.
Sales tax increased recently in certain cities throughout Florida. Disney is 7% but that does not include hotel tax. That is a different amount for tax.BUT - got some data for everyone.
I CALLED DVC. They were kind enough to tell me the new cost, WITH TAX, for a Gold AP Renewal - DVC Owner.
$650.72.
Hope this helps others, doing financial planning
Ticket prices including AP prices increase every year. Disney has been increasing prices since they opened. Prices increases usually in Feb. So far the AP prices have only increased once so far this year. Last year they increased. Next year they defiantly will because Tron is suppose to open in Magic kingdom. Epoct, some areas are under renovations. New rides are coming to Epcot. Hollywood studios Mickey and Minnie's runaway railroad road suppose to open March 2020, Animal Kingdom: Nothing major is going. Disney Springs lots of restaurants and stores are coming. Resorts: Some have gotten renovations. Star War resort due to open in 2021. The increased prices aren't just for the theme parks. They are for everything throughout Disney world in general. Disney is like a city in its own way. The charge for everything. Except parking at Disney Springs and the water parks.
Here is a site that shows you ticket prices since 1970. https://allears.net/walt-disney-world/wdw-planning/1970s-walt-disney-world-tickets/
It's not just parks though that they are spending money on. It's resorts, hotels, Disney Springs, transportation. Prices increase because they spend so much money. If Disney never opened a new ride, a land, restaurants, retail store. Prices would be cheaper. Disney was lacking for many years when it comes to renovations. For awhile Disney Springs was not doing well. The name of Disney springs changed sever times. It went from Lake Buena Vista Shopping Village to Walt Disney Village to Pleasure Island to Disney Village Market Place to Pleasure Island_ Disney Village Market Place to Disney Springs. Most people new the area as downtown Disney. Look at Epcot. Rides have come and gone in Epcot. Epcot for many years did business but not as much as the other parks. Now they doing renovations. I hope that it will work.
Yup - happens all the time. That's why I CALLED, rather than using the bad advice from another board, to "just calculate it myself".
If you went to the Disney site and logged into your account, you could of added the Ap to your cart, the price would of shown you what the sales tax is along with monthly payment fee, if you chose that route or full payment.
Disney raised ticket prices not once, not twice, but three times since the beginning of 2018. That’s for its annual platinum pass which gives you access for a year to all four parks: the Magic Kingdom, Epcot Center, Hollywood Studios, and Animal Kingdom. In February, Disney raised prices for the passes from $779 to $849. Then in October, Disney increased them again, from $849 to $890. Then, because of the new Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge opening, they raised prices again from $890 to $1,119. Over the past five years, Disney has hiked fees at roughly double the rate of inflation,
All true - unless one is calculating a RENEWAL, prior to the 60 day expiration of a current pass. You see, some folks (like us) want to know what our RENEWAL price is likely to be, prior to our ability to buy one.
