City Pass Price Increase

[dcraythorn]

I received a news letter from Getaway Today that stated the price for the City Pass is going up on June 3rd. The current price they had was $299 and it will be going up to $319. Does this mean that DL tickets will also be going up at that time?

I heard Universal Studios ticket price is going up so that may be why they are also increasing.

I doubt a price increase for Universal alone would account for a bump of $20 on the City Pass.

An interesting thing about that date is that WDW raised their prices on June 3 last year. Maybe with all this "One Disney" attitude, Disney is doing simultaneous ticket price increases on both coasts. We all know it's coming even if we hope it isn't.

This all has me really nervous. We are arriving on June 3rd and had planned to purchase tickets at the gate by using Disney Gift Cars purchased from Target to save the 5%. However, that 5% will go away immediately if they jack the prices on us. I really wish that you could use more than 3 gift cards to purchase tickets online. If so, I would buy them today.

You could always buy them online using your credit card and then use the gift cards you bought at Target to pay for your meals or anything else you pay for when visiting - this is provided you are going to spend that much on other things besides tickets - our experience has been that you can easily eat through some pretty significant gift cards inside of DLR!!

I would *like* to think that this means they are already aware of and have covered whatever, if any, price increase DL will be having and have planned accordingly so they don't raise prices AGAIN in a few months.

If that's true, then hopefully it means the DL price increase is minimal this year!
