WDW Ticket Price Increase

[hopemax]

That is huge…

did anyone on the thread call it “still a good value”?

or have the praetorians not formed up for the assault yet?

Well *my* ticket prices didn't increase... zero is still zero, so of course it's a good value!

Although... this is a bit bizarre. March blockouts got updated, and most everything is blocked out. But for some reason *weekends* are not blocked out at DHS. M-Fr, blocked out. Sat & Sun... good to go.

Your prices didn’t increase?

 

[Sirwalterraleigh]

No but I saw a few that renewed their AP 6 months early to beat the expected price increase. Bob said "thanks for the loan"....

Here's a comparison for you: In 2019, four 8-day tickets (1 park per day) in late May cost $1700. Comparable tickets after this increase are $2565.76. I don't know about you, but I think that's a pretty steep increase.

June 14-23rd 2019, CBR preferred room 2 adults, 1 10yo, 10day hopper plus, standard dining plan, memory maker, travel protection came to $6427.88.
Today the equivalent WITHOUT the dining plan or genie+ would be $6177.90.

The IRS doesn't have a minimum account balance though

Well, it has value to me, so it must be good. You're just a hater. These prices are cheap compared with professional sporting events. And Broadway shows. If you don't like the prices, don't go. Disney is a business.

I think DVC would be happiest if every owner who bought before 2010 would sell their points back. Then DVC can get rid of those with preexisting expectations and make more money on the points. The more clueless the consumer, the happier TDO/TWDC is.

1. Check your math
2. Short of that…try 5 random spots around the calendar in traditional “slow” seasons.
3. I love cherries

Im comparing what I paid in 2019 vs what it would cost now because we are limited to a single month in the year. That's the closest dates I'm able to get because of the lack of availability this close to June (June 17th-27th used instead). The 2019 was from my saved emails.

So that’s means they’ve reduced prices? Good to know….

"But it's only x per hour of entertainment!" ... Ignoring half the time is standing in line.

I said without the genie+ or dining plan if went currently. Genie+ would add another $450 for the 10 park days. 2020 dining before suspension would have been $2106.27, hard telling what it will come back as if it returns.
That's easily a $2500 increase without worrying about how to get there.

No I get you…

I think what’s telling is that “busy” prices may be lower on the surface…while “not busy” times traditionally have been jacked. It’s like a recentering…which has been going on.

ive found the “busy” times to be much more manageable for along time.

im in the same window coming up…probably…but that’s up to Disney by their actions at this point

Gotta be satire... Uses all the same tired excuses of the pixie-dusters.
Cheap compared to sports events
Check compared to broadway shows
Disney is a business
Don't like it don't go!
Yeah, satire.

Had to make sure I captured all the usual suspects’ excuses in one post. Hopefully I didn’t miss any?

And I see someone missed the joke and thought it was serious. Says a lot about that poster, but I already knew we were at opposite ends of the pixie dust spectrum.

Nah…nobody thought it was serious…yet

This seems rather insane to me. I don't even understand what they meant to tell you the truth.

I'll be going to the Food/Wine next month...now I'm stressed to see what Disney changes will issue by then....

 

[Touchdown]

I'll be going to the Flower/Wine next month...now I'm stressed to see what Disney changes will issue by then....

FTFY. Epcot Art/Wine ends this weekend, Flower/Wine starts in March and runs through June, Food/Wine doesn’t start till August and runs through November, followed by 5 weeks of the Cookies/Wine festival.
