So its just for one day tickets only at the moment?

What about the churros? They went up .25 cents last year. I was met with sticker shock this month by it. Lol
No, really. Blah...

Here's a sentence from the Blog Article.
"Seasonal pricing for a 1-Day ticket and price increases for multi-day tickets go into effect at Disney Parks on Sunday, Feb. 28."

I've gone to the link in the article and it takes me to the Disney website. But the prices there today aren't reflecting the increase.
Does anyone know how much the increase is for multi-day tickets?

I think they're going up $20. It was posted in the other thread...http://disboards.com/threads/are-ti...is-month-last-year-it-was-2-22.3485486/page-4

I just found this on one of the other threads, posted by Jordan13402.
Thought it might help those in planning stages of a trip.
If you budget allows, it's nice there is the option to buy today and save money.

Churros follow the same policy... its +$.25 on regular and +$.50 on holidays.




no, not really... can you imagine?

I posted too fast, read then post.

 

[DahliaRW]

Just bought our tickets for July. Thanks for the heads up.

 

[Angrose]

I'm so glad that I purchased tickets today for our May trip, I'm just hoping the AP prices don't go up again!

 

[azdisneylover]

WOW, greed and anger are the only words I can say at the moment.

 

[Diszona]

Last year we were able to get 4 day hoppers from Orbitz at the old price even after the price hike. Hopefully people can still find some deals for a little while even after the change tomorrow.

 

[Christina-B-Na]

I guess this gives some folks in the know a chance to buy their tix before the price hike. We went ahead and bought ours last weekend for our trip that is not till November.

I'm very curious to see how this affects crowds. I think it's possible the value days may get slammed by bargain hunters, making them unbearably crowded.

 

[StormyCA]

Since it's only single day tix, I don't think it's going to affect crowding all that much, if at all.

I couldn't look online, it was down. But the app allows you to select days. Looks like an AP blockout calendar. Rather than just block periods (other than holidays) it's days within the week; Sat/Sun peak, Mon-Wed value, Fri regular, etc, etc, with the mix of day 'types' varying by time of year. Calendar appears to have prices 'set' through the end of the year.

I think that where this will affect people most is the local Southern California resident who does NOT own an AP...a local who decide on a weekend, "Hey, it's a nice day. Let's go to Disneyland today!"

 

[sherilaine]

What % of guests are single day ticket holders? It must be enough to go through the expense of changing their whole structure though. Also is someone going to really pick a different single day for $20? You'd think most single day tickets are determined by something other than price; day off work, in the area etc. I'm guessing they surveyed single tickets purchasers though, to know if this would affect their decision, but just a guess. Perhaps this is just a "because they can" change though, with nothing more to it than that.

Sure, I would. I'm retired and if I were local I'd take advantage of the lower priced days since I could go anytime. Those with school age kids or employers without liberal leave policies will be sorta 'stuck'. As it is, I have to stay over when I go so the chances of me needed a single day ticket is virtually nil.


It'll be a pain for locals who only visit when out of towners come in, especially those whose have multi day tix and the local wants to just join them for a day. But if I were a local, I'd have an AP.

The pricing calendar could end up being a valuable planning tool if pricing days start to correlate to crowding, especially during traditionally 'less crowded' times. But unfortunately I don't think the change in crowds, if any, will be noticeable.

Yep, and I think they're going to see a surge in AP sales, especially the So Cals. People will pay for a guaranteed year round admission price and the benefit of not having to 'worry' about what the gate price will be.

Some guests do have flexible dates, and will choose to save $20.
If tiered pricing is successful, the price difference is likely to increase.

And again they would be a % of the % that buy single day tickets. Getting down to an even smaller number of people. Multi day ticket holder and pass holders fill the park, not single day tickets. As to crowds I don't see this making a difference.
