When does Disney increase their ticket costs?

We are going to buy AP's this year when we go in May, however if there is likely to be a price increase then I will buy ahead of time?

I believe it's been August in the past. But then again they can increase them whenever they feel like it.

The last several years, it has been on the first Sunday of August. Doesn't mean they will or won't this year though.

I was told by a CM that it is usually in August but since they had a price increase last year, chances are there won't be one this year. I wouldn't bet money on that but it is something to hope for!

Given that they raised the main prices the last 4 Augusts, is that like saying that in roulette, if it comes up black 4 times in a row, you should bet red because it really has to be red the next time?

Normally Ticket Price increases always go into effect on a Sunday. The earliest Disney will usually announce the increases is late on a Friday afternoon.

The only people who know in advance are some managers and high level people, the programmers for the ticketing computers, and the people who make signs and printed materials.

Often many of us who sell tickets find out when we come in and find that the prices on our terminals are changed, and the sheets we have in the booths to show Guests their choices are new.

And for the last few years there has been a general increase in ticket prices the first Sunday in August. However, last year they raised the Water Park prices in May and not in August.

If history repeats itself...price hike should be on 8/8/10.
If you're going in May..then you're good.
