They should have held the higher ground and not responded to Universal's price hike. I just hope that they don't feel another price hike is warranted early next year when FLE opens and wait to the usual August timeline.
Price hike for premium annual pass was $50. Can't recall if this change is typical for the annual pass price hikes, but it seems a bit steep.
I wonder if Universal will have another price adjustment though. They announced a hike to $88 per day for a one day ticket, while Disney now costs $89. Take that Universal

Well starting next year, we decided we'd only be going to WDW once a year. This kind of solidifies that decision. We've owned APs for the past 8 years but won't be renewing in October:shrug:

Same here. $600 for an AP??? Yup, Disney has officially priced us out for more than 1 trip per year. Not spending $3,000 on tickets alone.
Jeez - Even 10 day park hoppers for a family of 5 will now cost close to $2,000.

I used to defend the pricing of AP's. Not anymore. That's a disgusting increase. I don't know what the mentality is there, but don't they realize, the fewer passholders, the less trips they will take?:veryconfu
It's crazy. I will probably renew my pass this year, but next year I will probably end of not renewing as it is getting to be over priced. I pay $300 to renew my Premium Annual Pass to Universal Studios and of course my best price for an Annual Pass is Busch Gardens. I have Busch's Platinum Pass and only pay $13.50 a month for it which comes to $162 a year and it gets me in all their parks along with food & merchandise discounts.

Not really. Anything beyond Potter phase 2 isn't for disclosure yet.

Parks are at near full capacity. MK's infrastructure was build on the expectation of ten million visits. It now draws seventeen. So the obvious thing to do is to increase prices.

Pretty much further proof that Disney doesn't want ap locals on either coast now. One... they hate locals compared to vacationers because the latter doesn't spend enough money for disneys liking... two they're getting tired of the frequent guestbholding them to a standard they don't want to maintain any longer. Ticket prices will continue to go up in those areas Disney wants to price out and eventually eliminate.

It's the Friday afternoon news dump. Happens in politics all the time. As you said, not surprising, but amusing nonetheless.
