No, just Disneyland. Currently, at DLR, a 2 day PH pass costs $200 ($100 per day), a 3 day pass costs $250 ($83.33/day), 4 day is $275 ($68.75/day), 5 day is $290 ($58/day), and 6 days in the park is $290+$125=$415 ($69.20/day). The reason for this thread is there is a huge leap to go from a 5 to a 6 day pass, both in overall cost and in per day cost. Why should a 6 day pass cost so much more per day than a 5 day pass?
Using my hypothetical, if Disneyland would have set their costs at 2 day PH = $200 ($100/day), 3 day at $270 ($90/day), 4 day at $320 ($80/day), 5 day at $370 ($74/day), and a newly offered 6-day pass at $415 ($69.20) per day, then our arguments are gone. Each additional day you buy, your per day cost decreases. It rewards guests for staying longer. You can't complain about the cost of a 6-day pass anymore, even though it's the same as the current actual cost.
The reason I thought it was funny was that I think we all are glad the actual pricing menu is used and not the hypothetical, even though the latter addresses all the concerns of this thread. This is because at least with the current system, the 3, 4, and 5 day passes are so much cheaper than in the hypothetical. In summary, our beef is less with the cost of 6 days in DLR than it is with the difference between the 5 day and the 6 day cost.
You are giving this so much thought and effort, ValpoCory!! Awesome. My only beef with if they did go with your hypothetical pricing
is that the ticket prices have already increased twice in the past year - this effectively
literally makes yet a
third increase if using your hypothetical pricing. We just can't afford that (in my family, and probably so many others.) We certainly can not justify that much of a cost increase just for having one new 'land.' Or a new street in California Adventure Park. For years we have put up with the renovations, the walls, the walls, without complaint. Had we known of the enormous price increases, I suspect many of us would have asked them to stop. Disney has touted this as a 6 day or more Resort, as well, for Canadians, who have openly been previously offered the 6, 7, and 8 day Park Hoppers (and for other countries, other options, such as 14) , and just thinking back earlier to those who said that 'it never WAS openly offered to guests, it was sort of a secret, to go and ask at the ticket center, and only random Cast Members might or might not do this for you....) - here's the thing. It WAS offered to those from other countries, and furthermore, should most certainly be offered to everyone from other countries AND in the USA because 1.) USA is HUGE and so many people have to fly in from the mid-East coast, etc. easily at a higher cost than some in Canada on the West Coast, for example. 2.) Disneyland is now mentioned as Resort where 6 or more days is great. 3.) It is offered at Walt Disney World RESORT is it not? 4.)
I would think that Sophia Grace and Rosie who like to appear on the Ellen show also wouldn't like only being able to stay for 5 days IF whoever was buying their ticket decided it's not worth it to pay more per day for each day you go past 5 days? Maybe they would have something to say about that! I can't speak for them, but we know how much they love Disneyland.
My point is - something good
was offered, and something good
is being taken away. NO response is being offered to myself personally, as I am still waiting to hear from Disney, and they know I started the thread. I suspect they are waiting to see WHAT kind of a response this thread gives, so LET'S RAISE THIS UP A NOTCH, fellow DISboard members, and state on this board and with emails and phone calls to Disney to let them know how we feel about this. (I am positive they are watching this thread.) For those lurking, please do come in and comment, you will be valued and very much appreciated. Even if just a short sentence or blurb, it is enough. Some of my friends have written in without posting on this board, but I notice a pattern with Disney now - those who personally write in are getting NOT ONE COMMENT about anything that they write... Blah blah blah is the reply back.. Please also reply on this board if you have written to Disney.
Again - I firmly believe Disney is following this thread, and trying to figure out how to best approach this. I can assure you I personally will not give up, and I doubt any of us who have posted here will.
Fellow DISboard members, if you know of some friends here on the DISBoards who may feel like posting, please let them know about this thread if they haven't yet found it, so they can post.
With over 13,000 views, this is not going to go away. Looking forward to getting an email or phone call from Disney soon.
Disney, personally, we, as a family LOVE your parks. We love everything Disney. Missed Disneyland so much I bought some
Method brand hand soap (cute Mickey and Minnie containers!!) to be able to enjoy SOMEthing Disney. We enjoy our Mickey and Minnie Salt and Pepper shakers daily, and our Mickey spoon rest. DAILY we think/dream of Disneyland.
So my question is to Disney, do you think of your guests in terms of people, with real stories and personal points of view, or do you just think of us in terms of $$$$? The replies you are giving show nothing to do with even having read or comprehended what any one individual has stated to you.
Thanks to all of you DISboard members who are part of this, it is so much appreciated by all of my family, as well as to all DISboard members who are hoping to be able to buy 'longer-than-5-day' Park Hopper tickets.
I find this thread interesting. We have 5 day tickets for 7 nights/8 days and for us, that is perfect. We can go to Knott's Berry farm, Universal, San Diego Zoo, Hollywood Bowl for a concert/musical or even to the beach.
I love Disney I really do, but there is so much to do in SoCal!
There is for sure - but for so many reasons, Disneyland has such great appeal.

It is good for others to know though, that there are all of those options available.
