| | | Disney's New Price Raise.
Do you think that Disney's ticket price raise to $75.00 is too much? This was reported on the news here in Ohio. And it happened today. Its for all of the parks they own.

| | | A lot of people visit Disney parks on a package deal. Or, they sit through ungodly sales talks about buying time shares and then get free passes to the parks. So I don't imagine there are a whole lot of people paying the $75 fee at the gate - although I could be wrong (it would be the first time this year, but hey - I could be!)
Another thing - most other amusement parks have discounts available too. I've NEVER paid regular price at any park I've ever visited.

| | | 75 is too much? I thought 65 Dollars was too much for admission years ago. How much longer until admission is 100 Dollars? |

| | | Disney almost never has discounts for tickets , not even at AAA...and too buy an anual pass for Disney is down right insane. But face it, unless people just stop going all together to these places, they will try to squeeze every last cent out of our pockets they can.

Disney is going to continue to raise prices as long as profits go up. Once they stop going up then ticket prices will remain flat, but who knows when that will ever happen.

When a 5th park gets built we will see $100.

| | | That's ridiculous. Didn't they raise prices just last year, too? This is one-day, one-park admission, right?
Although it won't affect me (my family gets either multi-day park hoppers or DVC Annual Passes), I can't imagine how many people were planning on going to WDW for a day and were already dreading paying the arm for admission who will now have to sacrifice their leg as well.
You say this is all parks? What about Disney Paris? Is that 75 Euro? Or is it 75 dollars, only converted into Euros using the current exchange rate?

| | | They raise their prices 6-8 dollars a year for the last few years.
Disney only gets away with it because of the name "Disney." Imagine if Old Town in Orlando charged 75 dollars, they would go bankrupt in a week. |

| | | Busch raised their prices earlier this summer, and I'm sure Universal will follow Disney in the following weeks. Orlando's parks will always demand a premium, because they can.

| | | Yes $75 is a lot. However, Disney does offer a premium experience that you cant get anywhere else. Other parks wont raise thier prices to $75 because thay can't. At least not for several year to come.
So I guess my opinion come to this: " I expect to pay more for a Disney quality experience. However, Holy @#%* $75 is a lot. Let go of my arm and leg already"

| | | Other than going to Disneyland I've pretty much ignored Disney, especially two years ago. Expedition opened, I stayed just outside the place but ignored it and conquered the rest of Florida.
When it comes to market price I do though state what effect Disney has on it to the GP that may be with me.

| | | I'm not really all that upset about the $75. Me, My friends & family go for free but anyway. I doubt it will hurt anyone. I would be totally will to pay $75 for a park like Disney and get first class/6 Star treatment. I'm suprised its not more.
People save up all year or years to take a big family vacation at Disney so the majority get multi day passes which is cheaper anyway.
I still can't believe family's from England come and spend a month at WDW and stay at the Grand Floridian.

| | | They might as well get rid of 1 day park tickets and sell multi-park passes.
This is scaring me because Shapiro wants to raise pricing at Six Flags parks.
