What's your maximum on ticket prices? An unscientific poll...

[larryz]

How much are you willing to spend... rather, what's YOUR breaking point on tickets to get into the WDW parks? Pick one of the poll options and expound in the comments below...

I hit it. And with ever item listed it would depend on my thinking that I would want to just go for one day at that rate. It would have to be well below $100 per day for me to consider any multi-day tickets.

We stay at Disney World and go every year but actually haven’t been to a park in over 4 years. There is so much to do there and I can’t justify the admission price. We still have a great time and far more relaxing!

 

[AshaNeOmah]

Hard to say, since a one day ticket is higher per day than a multi-day.

I will say the $1k mark is the point where I start to second guess buying my AP. I usually get 10-14 park days in a year I buy a AP, so at the current price that puts me at $65-90 per day. At, $1000, my ceiling would increase to $75-100 per day. That's approaching today's single day ticket price during the 'offseason'.

Not saying I'll stop going entirely, but my AP purchase every 18-24 months would stop and I'd be much more judicial in my vacation locations.

This poll might be more helpful if it also listed the prices for 4 and/or five day passes, assuming they all scaled up accordingly.

I imagine a precious few people on this forum have ever even bought rack rate one day tickets.

For those of us who book an entire package, resort, 10 day Park Hopper Passes, and Disney Dining Package, we never see the breakdown of the individual components. Disney is counting on that, I’m sure.

Should we reach the point where I don’t think I’m getting my money’s worth, I’ll cut back on souvenirs first, downgrade to a cheaper resort, and perhaps eventually remove a day or two from the trip. Last resort, we could always stay at Bonnet Creek, or somewhere on 192. We’ve done it before; it didn’t kill us.

For a one day ticket I can honestly say they have hit it. I was there for a business trip a while back and one day at magic kingdom was just too much. I passed. For a 7 day stay (what we usually do) its not there yet.

When the ticket price is wrapped up in the vacation package your not really looking at the individual ticket prices as much as the Total cost. A lot of times your also getting other discounts for the vacation package as well. For a one day unplanned trip that ticket price is a much bigger factor. When it cost a family of 4 close to $500 for one day at disney (just to walk in the door) you begin to think "there is a lot of other things we can do for one day for a lot less".

They've already hit it. My max is when they offer the Florida Resident pass of three days for $179. I'll occasionally splurge for an after hours event like MVMCP but there is no way I'm buying anything more than a multi-day pass of some sort.

 

[Chef Mickey]

It should be noted they are no where near even your first pricing tier on a per day basis for a "normal length" stay of say 6-7 days.

I'd be willing to pay a lot more.

 

[yensid67]

I said that the ticket prices have reached the breaking point for me! I have MY LAST TRIP planned for May 2019 with the current rates of the prices and price increases THIS IS MY LAST TRIP! Does Disney care a little? No! But I am sure they would sit up and take noticed if more did the same!

Precisely.

It's not that difficult to get that since you can price room and tickets separately, and the dining plan costs are broken out on many sites when they are released. You can come really close by piecing it together.

Whatever it takes in order to properly control demand.

I book BounceBack from the resort room.

Disembodied voice on the line says “That will be $XYZ”, and I say, “Take my money”.

 

["El Gran Magnifico"]

Are we negotiating? Good. I'll start at $0.

Factoring in APs the calculation can be very different. For the price of my AP divided by the amount of times I walk into a park annually - I'm at about $18.57 each time passing through the gate. I'd be okay if you took that up to $20.

(I'd probably be okay at $50 if it impacted crowd levels - so more than double).

 

[phillip9698]

The maximum would change depending on the park. No way I'd pay the same max price for Epcot and Magic Kingdom, especially since half of Epcot is a mall/food court.

 

["El Gran Magnifico"]

especially since half of Epcot is a mall/food court.

And a bar.

 

[OneofThree]

And a bar.

This is exactly why they'll never let prices adjust. Think of WDW's model isn't dissimilar to that of a gas station. They make most of their profit on beer, cigarettes, lottery, and snacks, and little on fuel sales. Disney now makes its money on herding a mob of people through the parks where they are aggressively marketed high margin food and chinese trinkets. Truth.

For us it’s not a yes/no thing but a once every 3 years or 5 years or 7 years thing. We used to go every year.
