Any Word on Upcoming Park Ticket Price Increases?

[PSUGuy]

We're going to buy 9 day hoppers from Undercover Tourist and upgrade to APs for our Nov 2017 trip. There's no reason to hurry the purchase unless there's a pending increase, any scuttlebutt about this?

Thanks,
Bill From PA

tax on passes will increase .5% in January if there is a major increase I'd expect it in Feb and or the summer as per trends

The Orange County FL Sales Tax Rate is unchanged for 2017 (still 6.5%).

It's now about 14 months since the last increase on annual passes. If anything is for an increase, that would be the one, it seems.

Osceola goes up on jan 1 though. How does that work with disney that is in both of those counties?

If I remember correctly, whatever county you're in, you will be charged that county's tax.

I believe only the All-Star resorts and ESPN WWoS are in the higher tax-rate county and you pay the tax rate of the county you're in

For ticket purchases at the gate, on-line and by phone, they charge Orange County FL Sales Tax. Not sure what they do if you purchase at one of the resorts that's physically located in Osecola County.

I talked to a cast member on the phone last week that said to expect a price increase for park tickets in February. Take that for what it's worth. I wasn't paying attention this time last year, but did prices go up last February too?

The last three years (including 2016), price increases have been in February. You can actually find sites that have a history of all price increases/changes going back to the opening of the MK. The last three years it's been February, but it hasn't always been that way. Prior to the last three February increases, there were three in June, 1 in May, and 5 in August. The person on the phone probably made that statement based on the recent trend, but no guarantee it will work that way next year. My opinion is that if you can swing it financially, might as well go ahead and buy. If there's no increase, you are not out anything, since the tickets don't expire as long as they are unused. If they do increase, then you saved yourself a little money. I think one thing we can just about guarantee is that they won't go down in price!
