Have you seen the price increases for lightning lane!?

And today they have the price up for the 1st. Highest is MK at 45 again. With the highest price on the 29th and 1st which are the only 2 full MK days out of 5 with parties on the 28th, 30th, and 31st I really do think they are just expecting large crowds at MK those days

But are they expecting large crowds at the other three parks on November 1? They're all back to the record high prices on that day too.

I (eta: mistakenly) believe(d) they always raise or lower the prices all together. They won't have MK at $45 and AK at $17. Otherwise you would have people playing games buying at the cheaper parks then just park hopping for the large savings. So a busy projected day at 1 park can affect all of them since you can park hop with LLMP.

Personally I hope the other parks are not as busy those days as I will be avoiding MK on those days and going to the other parks because I projected MK to be very busy as well. Those are the only 2 days a family can use a single day ticket and get a full day experience at MK, experience the new parade at MK, or the fireworks at MK for 5 days around Halloween

This week is known as "Jersey Week" on WDW crowd calendars because of Teacher's Convention in NJ. It also bleeds into Veterans Day. Expect high crowds.

The prices among parks do not always move in sync with each other. Here are some examples from this month. On October 12, MK is $35 and EP is $24. On the next day, MK is down to $27 and EP is up to $26. On the following day, MK is up to $32 and EP is down to $21. If you prefer an MK-AK example, on October 14, MK is $32 and AK is $19, while on October 19, MK is down to $29 and AK is up to $25. There are many more such examples.

Ah, then I suppose it may be busy everywhere like PolyRob said for Jersey Week. I never keep track of when that week is so that may be more likely if they don't always tie the prices together. It makes sense they may lower MK especially during party days where you can't get a full day's use of it

Yes it is Jersey week is officially Nov 3-7 as @PolyRob indicated. The crowds start to swell on Nov. 1st.

And @Tom_E_D is correct they adjust the LLMP pricing for individual parks. They are not tied together in any way.

I can understand ticket prices increasing to cover inflationary costs such as staff wages (I hope that the CM are getting fair rises!).

I can understand food and beverage prices increasing as a result of increase in input costs.

I can understand the cost of Chinese made souvenirs increasing because of tariffs.

I do not accept increases in the cost of LL which are purely based on how much additional money TWDC think that they can extract from you to give to their shareholders. Sorry guys, I'm not playing.

Oh come on!

Our other Epcot day where we planned to buy LLMP is also that highest price - $37 per person! Every other day is lower. We can't change that one for sure because we have Space 220 Lounge that day.

Just our luck I suppose!

It goes back down on Sunday 11/2! There's no rhyme or reason to this, in my eyes anyways.
