D-R, you are right that the other Orlando parks increased prices first. However, all of them are offering at least a $10 discount off admission with promotions through AAA and other coupons. Disney is the only park that is not discounting 1-day passes making their admission price higher than the competition. I stand by my statement that Disney is ignoring the discounts the other parks are offering on 1 day and season passes. They will continue to lose guests to other parks as a result. Disney can cut prices on hotels all they want, but it is not going to help their park attendance that much. The local market is helping the other parks get through these tough economic times and this demographic has little need to stay onsite even at reduced rates.
You make a good point about the price per park with a Florida resident rate. We would only like admission to Epcot and MGM on an annual basis. However, Disney only offers a pass to all 4 parks. Busch prices passes based on the parks you want to go to. You can just buy a pass to Sea World, not Busch Gardens and Adventure Island if you wish. Disney also needs to offer more season pass options to be competitive.
