We all tend to put Disney on a pedestal just a little bit (Sorry, we can’t overlook the delicious food and all the great rides!), but we can also admit when Disney makes some questionable choices.
Magic Kingdom
Folks, questionable choices were made this week. Well, the choices were probably made a long time ago, because that’s how showbiz works, but we found out about it this week, so it still counts. Disney dropped so much news this week that our team was a buzz of energy trying to keep up and make sense of all the changes! Mostly, these news drops were price increase after price increase, and we’re here to talk about it.
So, without further ado, here are three of the most questionable price increases and changes that Disney announced this week.
Annual Pass Price Increases
If you’re an Annual Passholder or considering purchasing an Annual Pass, then this news probably came as a bit of an annoyance. On average, each of the Annual Passes, as well as the Magic Key Pass at Disneyland, saw an increase of about $30 to $50.
Disney World Annual Pass Magnet
While to some, this increase might seem nominal, a lot of Passholders feel that this price increase was the one that did them in and allowed them to make the decision NOT to renew when their renewal date comes around.
Price Increases Across Disney World As A Whole
Y’all, we don’t think a single menu at Disney World went untouched with these price increases. Some restaurant price increases were as little as a few cents while some things increased by over a dollar.
Casey’s Corner
Yep, we’re talking hotel restaurants, park restaurants, quick service, pool bars, character dining — all of the above.
Ticket Price Increases at Disneyland
Over on the west coast, Disneyland wasn’t safe from price increases, either. Ticket prices were increased by an average of about 7%. You can see the increases for 1-Day tickets here:
- Tier 1 — $119 (previously $114)
- Tier 2 — $134 (previously $129)
- Tier 3 — $154 (previously $144)
- Tier 4 — $169 (previously $159)
- Tier 5 — $184 (previously $169)
- Tier 6 — $194 (previously $179)
Disneyland
You can find multi-day base ticket prices here:
- 2-day base tickets are now $310 (previously $285)
- 3-day base tickets are now $390 (previously $360)
- 4-day base tickets are now $445 (previously $395)
- 5-day base tickets are now $480 (previously $415)
