Increased ticket prices coming soon?

I sure hope they don't make those with tickets previously purchased pay a surcharge, but I am not putting anything past this company now. After this trip, I am going to start looking at other places to venture to.

They really can't unless they've added language very recently that puts limitations on access?

Otherwise it's a valid ticket and they have to accept it.

Latest rumor I've heard. Going back to a concept of the ticket books where you pay for attractions.

Surely not?

Even allowing for MagicBands to smooth the process that seems incredibly backwards...

I wouldn't be surprised if they are considering it. Disney will do anything for more money.

That would be awful. Honestly, that would keep me from ever going back.

If that is the Another Voice that used to post here then I would tend to trust what he or she is saying. This is getting spooky.

I don't know if that is the same person but that person isn't the only one I've seen throw that rumor around so this may not be good for the future.

I've been checking out other places and I see a lot of discussion about this. Not good.

Yep, makes me wonder if I made the right decision on investing in another trip by going ahead and purchasing our tickets last year.

Where did you hear this?

So how would that work? You pay an entrance fee, and then have to pay per ride? Or buy a pass that gives you x-amount of rides/attractions etc?

I could totally see them doing it. They could charge a nice "low" (ha) entrance fee which would make people feel like they're getting a deal, and market it as "Only pay for the rides you want!"

Looking at those links, it seems as though this is in reference to DL, not WDW? (mentioning the "Cars" ride)

You buy a ticket that lets say has 10 "experiences" it can be used for. If you want to do more than 10 things you need to buy more.

I'm thinking it is more like purchased FP+...I don't think they'll go all the way back to ticket-book stuff.

That's not what I'm hearing.

They can't charge the all access pricing they're currently asking and then also charge per experience (or set of experiences)..

well, I know they *can* technically, they can do whatever they want, but I don't think it's feasible
