Disney ticket price increase?

[AllisonG]

From past experiences Disney usually raises prices in August or October. Do you think after last years price increase, will Disney raise ticket prices again this year?

60% that they will.

Of course no one knows but Disney, but my guess is yes. And we can be grateful if they only raise them once. A couple years ago they raised them in January AND August.

I'm no expert on how the system works. But I do not see a price increase this year due to the recession. Nothing to back that up, just a shot in the dark. I would definitely think twice about the morale behind the company if they were to hike prices on the public during a recession when people are already struggling. I like Suze Orman's reference: "These would be the same type of people who would walk past a man already down & out... and swiftly give him a firm kick in the jaw."

That's exactly what was said by many here in 2009 and 2008.

Time will tell about 2010.

(Notice that even the PARKING LOT fee has gone up very recently to $14/day.)

Hey, Allison, good to see you.

I agree with Selina, I would think an increase, same as in past years. 1999 price was $42 for a single day, single park. On through the market turndown of 2000-2003, the price increased to $52 in 2003. And in the recession of the past few years, the price increased from $71 in 2007 to $79 from August 2009.

Who Knows What EVIL Lurks In The Heart Of Disney Marketing?!

Maybe I was a little harsh to jump on the Disney-bash wagon if they do end up hiking prices this Aug. Their expenses are going up just like everyone else's, and they do offer discount packages to offset the ticket prices (dining plans, give-a-day, get-a-day). Still a good value for our family. Multi-day passes also reduce the individual day's cost, and so on.
