Ticket price increase on Sunday!

[nytimez]

This is the first time in 5 years that Disney has gone less than 12 months between increases.

If we go back 10 years (June 2001) there have been 10 price increases on Annual Passes and 11 increases on single day tickets over that period. (And in recent memory, multi-day adjustments have always mirrored those single day changes.)

Going back 20 years there have been 21 increases on both APs and single day.

But why concern yourself with facts when glib insults are so much easier.

Are you looking at the same link you posted? I see five increases of less than a year apart over the last decade alone.
Sept. 2002 -> June 2003
June 2003 -> March 2004
March 2004 -> Jan 2005
Jan 2006 -> Aug 2006
Aug. 2010 -> June 2011

Those facts can be insulting, can't they?

I'm not sure why you two are arguing, but you basically just said the exact same thing.

The last 5 years, the increases were roughly a year apart.

For several years before that, they were at less than a year apart - but over a full 10 years, it worked on average a little over one a year.

And the Jan 2005 "increase" can be disputed somewhat, as they completely altered the ticket offering with a number of options getting cheaper.

I don't know why either. I made a simple statement and this guy went nuts.

Because your statement is factually incorrect.

Your original post reads:

It was twice a year until not so long ago. I imagine this is a way of sneaking back towards that schedule. They probably can't pull off twice a year just yet given the economy -- so they make the increases less than a year apart instead.

You've given examples of the "less than a year apart" scenario which clearly has occurred. But "twice a year"--which is suggested as a past practice--simply does not exist.

And even with the occasional 9-10 month adjustment, over the long haul they are still averaging barely over one price increase per 12 months.

So it is not factually correct that a year is 12 months? In that case, I apologize.
