Wow…that’s surprising. I did not see that coming based on the state of things.

They are hoping to just sell more weekday seasonal tickets with short expiration dates and thinking this is a short term problem they can bandaid. Pretty foolish. The high ticket prices are their primary problem.

I guess Disney likes to have empty parks?

Not surprising. They’re idiots.

So the few months where Iger said they raised prices too high (aggressive) are over?

No one ever lowers prices either so inflation will always be here even if it's the target number.

Raising the price of parking and water parks as well it looks like. Wow they have seriously lost their minds if they think this is going to help them

Remember the Phineas and Ferb episode where Dr. Doofenshmirtz tried to sell cups of hot chocolate for a million dollars, so he only needed to actually sell one to be a millionaire?

I think they're moving towards a similar business strategy.

They only raised AP prices by at most $50. Now buy a $35 Churro and thank @Bob for being the bestest CEO ever.

increase APs, water parks, parking, and recently food prices as well

Thank god I bought my APs a couple days ago…

Bob thanks you. He’ll likely make up the difference in you buying your AP before the price increase with an increase in food costs and G+.

Oh, I’m sure. But a win is a win!

And they can charge all they want, but as long as MK keeps serving the worst food at WDW, I will just bring my own there.

Future bookings look really bad Bob…what can we do?

“I know…raise prices!”

That’s not really what’s going on here, though.

All day park hopping announced the same day. A spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down.

If they had announced Genie+ with your AP (at least with the highest tiers), this wouldn’t feel bad, but ugh…

Does anyone with Disney know what’s really going on anymore?

This is the start-of-fiscal-year annual rise. It’s part of the same FY budget that has allowed for some surprising improvements we’ve noticed recently with more to come.

Ticket price increases for non pass holders should be soon to follow
