Disney has increased the price of admission into Walt Disney World and Disneyland.  If you are thinking of planning a trip, be sure to budget in these new prices.

At Walt Disney World one day adulkt tickets raised from $71 to $75, and children’s tickets raised from $60 to $63. At Disneyland adult tickets saw an increase of $3 going from $66 to $69, and children’s one day tickets will now cost $59 (up from $56).  These price increases will also be reflected in multiday tickets as well as the add ons that some of us choose when visiting Disney.  We always chose park hoppers as this allows us to visit multiple parks each day (if it’s crowded, we can leave and go somewhere else), and this option saw a price increase of $5 (going from $45 to $50).

I’ve read that this is because of the increase in price in oil (gas), food, and such, but if you look at Disney’s history, they tend to raise their prices on a regular schedule (prices went up last August) so while I don’t doubt that they are impacted by the increase in prices of these items, I think that Disney tickets will see regular price increases every year as long as they are not hit by less vacationers.

FYI: Six Flags actually decreased their admission prices this summer.
