After being called the biggest ripoff in North America by a recent multi-layered travel study, Disney World has responded. And the way they are answering that massive criticism is to raise prices even more! Today we'll tell you how much it will now cost for a guest to go to Disney Parks... and how Disney tries to always get around bad news.

Disney has changed so much, no more interest in the guests. No magic, it’s lost.
Pricing the middle class right out of their parks.
Now I don't feel sad for selling out Timeshare outside the Parks! We're never going back. Maybe Universal Studios, but no incentive for us retired folks to spend our vacation dollars in Orlando!
They call it surge pricing now.
You mean pricing out the majority of their loyal customers isn't a good idea???
As a kid, if someone said, let's go to disney world, I would get excited. I asked my 4 kids. You want to go to disney world and they said why.
Same. My kids would rather go somewhere else. They liked Atlantis more.
My older teenage kids and I had never been to any Disney park. In 2019 I was remarried. Before we got married, my wife to be brought up the idea to go to Disneyland as a surprise Christmas gift.
We set everything up as a big surprise for Christmas morning. We got them all a Disney T-shirt and an envelope with their ticket inside. We had them all open their envelopes at the same time Christmas morning.
Let me tell you. It was EXACTLY like the old Disneyland commercials from the 80s and 90s 😢😢😢
The kids went NUTS!!!!
We packed up and left that morning and we had a magical time.
Then Disney went to 💩.
I will NEVER go back, UNLESS, Iger is removed, and the company goes back to focusing on family-friendly priorities and drops the 🌈 coalition communist view.
@@jeremiah6462same here.
Universal is a much better bang for buck, and while the the park is under 600 acres total, vs 27,000 that Disney World is, the addition to Epic Universe Park next year and the much lower cost for food, tickets, and Hotels is a much appealing prospect for families. Especially if you stay at a Premier Hotel for Unlimited Express passes for everybody in the room
My kids are similar too, my oldest is interested in meeting the classic princesses but once she went to universal she was won over by Harry Potter. My youngest had no interest in Disney but become interested in potter after experiencing it first hand.
Never will attend a Disney Park again.
I been getting Disney sucks and is
Expensive videos
On my feed all week 😂😊
It takes a deliberate and reckless disregard for customer goodwill and positive public opinion to raise your prices shortly after being named the biggest tourist ripoff in America.
Disney executives have clearly decided to abandon the middle class and reposition the Disney parks as a luxury brand.
what luxury?
Without the luxury!😳😳😳
I doubt Eisner would allow this to be an ongoing issue. He wasn't perfect, but there's been a lot recently that I just can't see him condoning with or without Frank Wells.
A far cry from what Walt envisioned for his company. He made products for the masses, not the Hollywood elite.
@@levimachado Luxury in terms of pricing.
Inflation is such a BS excuse. Their parks make BILLIONS in profit
That isn’t how inflation works. I’m not sticking up for Disney. But, when inflation happens, it isn’t companies responsibility to lose profits because of it. We as consumers have the choice on whether to spend our money where we want to, however!
@Dman425 exactly u don't have to go to Disney
The minimum wage for Disney workers went up, too. When you start giving French Fry workers $12 an hour with a dollar raise every year, the people that were making anything close to that NOT making French Fries will now want more money.
@@Mr.White10-65 That's what we do in Sweden, inflation will always be a thing and people that work full time are supposed to have wages they can live on
@@Vollification Certain jobs were never meant to be a wage you can live on.
Why people continue to support this crap boggles the mind.
Consumers are not using their power, don't go to Disney's US parks until they stop this mess.
Some will forever support Disney, no matter what, while many are probably just oblivious to the shenanigans and discriminatory behavior.
They have enough mindless followers who think everything they do is amazing that they still rake in cash. No matter how much they raise prices those people still show up. Plus they know that families who can only afford to go every 5 years or so will spend spend spend when they do go cuz it’s a bigger deal to them
they have been. disney keeps lying about the numbers. teh WU HAN FLU exposed a lot of shit like the schools and disney being sexual predators and inodctrination centers to groom kids for pedos.....
It boggles my mind I tell you!
Drives me insane that even my aunt wants to take my cousin’s two children to DW after I shared as much as I could to them in regards to the woke garbage and what they’re doing to their parks.
Honestly, it’s at this point I do not care anymore. I’ll just sit, watch, and laugh my hat off once I hear how much “fun” they’ll be having- spend ALL of their money on doing NOTHING but misery and worst vacation ever.
Pixie Dusters will stay Pixie Dusters I guess.
Good thing I quit before it got much worse.
The vloggers aren't helping by showing off
I would never go to a Disney park that costs $200 per person.
No way!
If Disney sent me a free ticket, I couldn't run to the trash can fast enough to throw it in there. I suppose I could sell it, but I'd just feel.......dirty. I'd probably need to take a shower.
How many rides can you go on for that $200? One; two?
@@nobillismccaw7450 - go on the wrong day... (when they sell out) and You dont buy the Magic Ride pass service... you will be lucky to ride 2, and might not get the ones you want
In addition to park prices there’s hotel, transportation, food costs for those that don’t live nearby. Ripoff!
@@nobillismccaw7450after waiting up to 3 hours in line with a heat index of 180 degrees
I was raised on Disney. My family moved to Florida in 1973 and we visited Disney World every year for summer vacation. A family of nine could afford to visit annually for a week on a one income household. Now a two people can barely afford to spend a weekend at Disney. Shameful, just shameful. Now I could not be paid enough to go to Disney. They have gone out of their way to alienate the majority of the customer base to gain favor in DEI ratings. Responding to intimidation of special interests instead of relying on the customers who used to adore them.
Agree 100%
I haven't been to Disney in over 20 years and have no desire to return
I just hope all these complainers stay away from Disney. It will make my time there much more enjoyable!
I don't think you need to worry about that. Enjoy!@@marthajavinsky7199
@@marthajavinsky7199 Okay Joe Biden, everyone knows you like to sniff little girls' hair.
One way to keep the prices down would be to no be so dependent on Theme Park income to support all the other money-losing decisions. Then they could keep the costs down and fix up what is aging and breaking.
Each Disney franchise should get the Lions Share of Any income it generates! It’s completely unsustainable to keep neglecting the parks, while fleecing costumers! All to subsidize Failing divisions of Disney! If they can’t generate Revenue, then Why are they still being prioritized and funded?!? Disney has forgotten it’s a Business, and NOT a political power!
@matthewwolf90 disney has been a political power for a majority of its existence. What other entity had its own self-governing abilities? Not to mention disney fighting tooth and nail to keep copyright rights of their IP by lobbying the government to keep mickey for decades longer than what was originally in the books.
And they lost their self-governing as a retaliation from DeSantis (whom disney helped fund!!) for daring to disagree with his policy for the don't say gay bill. It was basically like:
Disney: gay people exist, and that's ok.
DeSantis: Look! They're woke groomers!! Take away their ability to self-govern!!
Disney lawyers: So you have chosen death 👹
Honestly, not sure why you'd want to attack the state's largest employer. Not to mention a good political donor. Since they gave over $100k towards DeSantis's election campaign in 2020.
Bait and switch on tickets
No way.Is it for real that they make you use the water park only the day you check in??? I call that a scam...
I had to look that up, because it sounded so obviously like a total scam … and yes, it’s what they actually announced. 😮
That's the point - announce a really cool perk, but make it so that 95% of the guests won't be able to use it. It sounds great, but doesn't actually cost Disney anything.
@@davidgantenbein9362 How to create even more backlash - Disney used to be a great company in the not so distant past....Sad that Iger and his sbires are destroying it.
Just do a split stay
@christinekaras1730 was wondering if this would work or disney will claim its all one stay.
I wonder when most families will decide to nope out because the Disney World experience is getting to be the price of a mortgage these days.
Universal Studios is looking more and more attractive
Disney put a MAN in a princess dress in one of their parks and had him interact with children. Disney deserves nothing but hate.
Idunno. It might be hilarious if they had Gaston parading himself around as a princess... If they kept him looking like Gaston!
If it was a joke...a man in drag who knew he was a man in drag hamming it up (i.e. Robin Williams, Milton Berle)...I could overlook it. But that guy IDENTIFIED as a woman and pretended to be one, and Disney hired this mentally disturbed individual to work around kids.
Men aren't allowed to interact with children?
@@MsBigact Pedos? No, except for California.
@@MsBigact That’s not the problem. The problem is that they put him in a *princess* *dress* I’ve seen some guys wear female costumes yes, but only as a joke, and even for a contest once, but for every day work?
Loved the parks, we went seven times between 2004 and 2021. In this economy it’s not even an option, not to mention how much we disagree with many of the company’s choices lately.
Imagine coming from Europe, you have the flights on top and no Garantie you will be able to ride what you want 😢it’s now impossible for a family
IMHO - this is an incentive to spend your arrival night off property. Wake up in Orlando near WDW, pack up, head to water park and then check-in after 4pm when your room should be ready. Thanks for saving me money staying off property a night and giving a free water park ticket.
Actually I have a feeling what they are REALLY trying to do is have people skip a day of their 7 day stay and do waterpark instead. Without realizing, they wasted a park ticket going to the waterpark for a few hours, and are too tired to hop into the parks. Seems a bit devious to me!
@spacedave2000 I actually think it's to bring as many Epic Universe first timers to stay at a Disney resort instead of at Universal's newest hotels. Then when they are returning to Disney property it intices them to stay and spend more!
Disney looked at the Willy Wonka "immersive experience" and said, "Hold my Bud light"...
The Spell is Broken
@@leealvarez6857, indeed! Now many people can see how evil they are!
And it was definitely....a Bud light.
I was looking forward to taking my children there in '25. But after seeing all the nonsense that theyve been pushing on kids we decided that we are going to use the money to take them elsewhere instead. Disney hasn't been welcomed in my house for a little over a year. And even that was being too forgiving of them as a parent.
The thing is, many of the Walt Disney films before the 2010s were a ton better compared to nowadays, even the parks back in the 2000s and 1990s were leagues better than nowadays.
The late great Denis Norden, British comedy writer and later television presenter, worked in his youth at cinemas run by wealthier relatives, and noted how very successful and popular with customers they were. The secret, he thought, to their success: always make sure that your customers feel they’re getting good value for money.
Maybe Walt Disney would have agreed with that way of doing business. Today’s Disney parks? No.
Ok, have to ask.
Are they deliberately trying to collapse the company?
This might be an attempt to drive out the last of the employees from the old days out of disgust for what the company has become so they can go full Stock Market-bro and attempt to go for infinite growth.
Is that a bad thing?
Yes. It's part of destroying icons of White Western Countries, specifically in America. All part of the Great Replacement and the WEF/Un Neo-CommuniFascist Fourth Industrial Revolution/Agenda2030. All well documented if people would bother to research.
I agree! The only way they have a prayer of saving themselves (especially after Epic Universe opens) is for stockholders/Board of Directors to totally gut all upper and middle management at Disney. They have already shown they are willing to drag the entire Disney empire into the toilet in cult-like fashion. Lecturing us with their militant political dogma is more important to them than just simply selling us their service and/or product and leaving it at that. I honestly couldn't care less what they believe personally. Just get out of my face and leave me out of it.
In Disney's last quarter, the company's revenue was a MISS. At this point, Disney need to make more revenue with a SMALLER audience.
Abd will fail
@@paulrasmussen8953never underestimate creative accounting.
Just another reason why me and my family, won't be going back ever!
I’m all for paying a premium for a premium experience…unfortunately Disney keeps charging and upping the premium Price, and taking Away or lessening the Premium experience, leaving customers feel cheated! More and more people are losing their Nostalgia glasses, so Thankfully are calling this out more and more!
"Bold strategy Cotton, let's see how that works out for them."
1985 was the last time I set foot on any Disney park. No desire to do so again.
The VR revolution plus the crackdown on car ownership and people's ability to travel will see all these places become financially unviable in the next few years.
Was an AP holder for a decade. Havent been back since they ditched the online fastpass reservation system. it was so nice to have your first 3 rides booked and it made booking other rides after a breeze. Rarely did we have to wait in a standby line, even for Flight of Passage, which at the time was the premier ride at all the parks. now you need to be a software engineer to plan a trip. And a software engineer to pay for it.
My main problem is the price to quality ratio of the American parks Tokyo Disney sea currently costs between like 55-65 USD for entry and most consider it the best theme park in the world why is all the US parks like twice or more
😵
And the customer service and cleanliness food, variety and pricing, and even the price for the souvenirs is supposed to be a lot better, too, and the toy story hotel over there is insanely detailed and decorated, and they give you a lot of free toiletries and slippers to take home
Why would anyone spend their time and money in such a fascist hellhole if one could visit some of the most beautiful national parks in the world?
Communist not fascist.
@@Yogurt_Fingers Marxist.....
Because its a “safe” way to escape reality. Which also is “telling” that reality ain’t what it used to be.

@imperialcitizen4811 stop using words you don't understand, incel ...😂
Why do we care if this company lives or dies? We don't owe them a damned thing - our loyalty, our time, or our money. They had a few hits but that's long gone. They hate 50% of us anyway so...
Exactly!
I know. It's such a shame, especially what they did to Pixar. Pixar had massive hit after massive hit in their first decade.
Yep, exactly @@DouglasLippi
I agree,....I cant believe these losers that somehow think it is their patriotic duty to get ripped off at Disney. And dont get me started on the pathetic aduls who walk around wearing their Micky Mouse ears.
The people who work there now are ruining it
When I was at Epcot over the weekend, the price of a one-day ticket with no-park hopper for an adult was $189 for MK, $179 for Epcot and DHS, $164 for AK
Damn… that’s not worth it
I’d rather spend that on 2 nice meals 😂
That would be at least 8 nice meals for me.
Wow you just won the Super Bowl what are you doing next? "I am definitely not going to Disney World 🐭‼️"
Do they even do that anymore? I haven’t watched a Super Bowl in like 5 years.
How about a low wait/ no-Reservation Disney Cafeteria with truly decent food and one free meal voucher for each ticket? With a dining room for free meals for Cast Members during their shifts. Maybe they could sell things like picnic basket lunches and have a lawn with musical acts. Wouldn’t that spark some goodwill? And bring back Fast Pass!
We are only doing one Disney day this year i’m tired of “ the fight” I got two rides in 7 hours my last visit. Got some beach exploring and hikes planned my next trip
My son was taken to Disneyland by his Nana. He was extremely excited! When he got home to New Zealand I asked him how Disneyland was? He replied " it was okay I guess but mum, when you upsize your order at McDonald's in America, you get a huge BUCKET of chips!" Sadly Maccas made more of an impression.
Disney needs to bring back Magical Express. That alone will have people eating out of the palms of their hands. It’s a huge request by many fans. But as we know Disney couples good news with bad news. I shudder to think what bad news they would piggy back off something as huge as Magical Express coming back.
I really don’t think that this is what Walt Disney envisioned as families having a wonderful time together.I remember as a child going to Disney land and having a wonderful time with my family. Hopefully this hasn’t happened as much there.God bless you Walt for all that you did. I hope this turns around.😞
Same here, and the cost per family wasn't that great considering so much was free. I think I remember when we paid like 20 dollars per person and parked for like 12 dollars. So for 200 dollars it was quite a day. Of course inflation has taken all that away and now for the same family it would be like 2000K.
When I retired to Florida, I applied and was hired as a Cast Member at WDW. I was a Cast Member for a few weeks when I coined the perfect name for this type of perk. I called them NON PERK PERKS. Cast Members are offered numerous non perk perks. As mentioned in this video, they offer perks that either can't be used or the perks are very difficult to use!
They used to be such a generous and well run company. Over 30 years ago I was a cast member at one of their stores and every year for Christmas we got day passes to the parks. I doubt they’re doing that now.
My father-in-law took my family to Disney several years ago. It was fun, but mostly standing in line for 2 hours for a 5 minute ride got old. I would have preferred to just sit in Epcot and eat/drink in restaurants and wait for the fireworks show. The place is very overpriced and not worth it. I’d rather fly to Hawaii or the Caribbean.
It’s a sad reality we live in when you realize that it’s more cost effective to go to a Disney park in another country. Then it is to go in our own…
Raising prices to "give away" perks...
Nope. They can piss right off.
The price wouldnt be so bad if Disney didnt nickel and dime you to bankruptcy within the parks... multiple levels of line cutting prices, artificially long lines to sell them, and then the parks become more and more a shopping mall filled with overpriced merch, photo ops, and food thats waved in front of your face constantly. If you want one of the good restaurant experiences, they will be pricy, butvthecworst part is having to plan out your dinner reservations MONTHS in advance and have to work around unpredictable wait times for attractions to use them rather than enjoying your day.
They do not want consumers back. They want rich customers. Pretty soon you will need a concierge to get you on a ride. Can't afford to hire the concierge, you can wait in line and maybe you can ride next week. All you can do as poor or middle class is to give up on disney and go somewhere else or go into major debt. Disney is not worth it and there are amazing places in the world.
The concierge just called Disney Genie. Same concept. Pay extra to not have to wait as long.
@@Jazzykatt23 genie is for the peasants, concierge's whisk people to the front of the line no matter how many people are in line or how long the have been waiting. The concierge are actual people accompanying well funded guess who ride what ever they want when ever they want. Planning is for peasants. The park is moving to rich only.
Who in their right mind would ANYONE go to a Disney park is beyond me. 👌
to show off on social media. if someone pays for the entire trip and park, i'd go. i'm just not paying anything because the value just isn't there.
Vloggers ?😂
Decades of habit is hard to break for many.
UK visitor here, I was intending to take my young grandson to Disney this year but the more I hear that’s not going to happen now. I’m approaching 70 and paying those prices would be a waste for me as I’m passed the white knuckle rides. It’s not just Disney, my favourite place to visit would be Kennedy space centre but even their prices are totally over the top since I was last there in the 90s.
My family , consisting of 3 kids and 6 adults was planning to go to Disney on Vacation this year. I had it down on my phones calendar the dates I was told. Then, once everyone started checking into the prices, that trip quickly got changed. I've been before, I myself prefer Universal over Disney. It's a shame how much just one day at one park costs now.
Im so happy I grew up in the 90s Disney!
Other options to improve Disney World:
Willy Wanka experience...
FRYE Music festival
New cruise ship: The Titanic
What Disney is doing is like a restaurant adding rat poison to their meals after being called out for being notorious for making people get food poisoning.
They were their own government for too long it seems.
I see a big problem for DW, they have risen the price, I can see what the consumers will do, by spending less at the park, and taking their spending outside the park itself. Waiting and watching to see what happens next!
If being the biggest rip off wasn’t enough for bob iger well by raising these prices seems he wants to go for a world record to add to his legacy I guess.
For young kids, Legoland is much much better than D. At least it was clean there. D was 🤮.
I second this; LEGOLand is a better value and it's cleaner. Also, LEGO knows not to jack with the prices of their stuff down there.
Legoland is so boring tho
@@vicentenunez9390 It's for little kids. I would not take little kids to D-land because it is dirty, and too expensive. Plus they are a really bad company so I don't want to support them.
@@darthlaurel My niece and nephew even think legoland is boring. That’s why I take them to universal studios. It’s way more fun
Love Legoland....been to the one in Cali 3 times or so.....
My prediction for Disney in 2025: Offering of unattainable or hard to attain resort "perks", like the water park perk on arrival date. Jack prices up and then offer "discounts" and treat it as if it's a wonderful deal for the guest.
I moved to Florida and asked a lot of people why they don't go over to Disney at all. They all said it is way too much money. Very expensive. Disney is for rich people now, not average working families. Everyone said that without exception. I couldn't believe how many people were against the place because it is so expensive. I'll tell you how expensive it is: A gallon of bottled water in Walmart 10 min. from Disney is $1.29 but in WDW it's 3 times that.
I just got back from Disney and the “off season” crowds showed me that the demand is still there.
Boss, this is peak tourist here. You OK?
@@randycoppola2069 last week of Feb is NOT peak tourist season at Disney. YOU ok?
Some say its spring break crowds, but how many college students can afford to spend a day at Disney. I know when I was in college, at ride to Florida and lots of beer and a place to sleep broke my budget.
Even as a kid almost a decade ago I remember how Disney was a rip-off. I still had a good time but I remember how much of a headache it was for my parents. Universal was better.
Disney has truly truly lost its way....completely. Middle class completely priced out unless you go into debt or save for long periods. I haven't visited since 1982 but would never go now. Those prices are just insane. Exploitative greed rules American companies now. Not just Disney but it's about the worst now.
What I find crazy is I went Tokyo Disneyland and paid about $75 for an adult admission. Go figure.
I was at MK this last Friday night, at 10:30 pm at night there was no space to move anywhere due to max capacity crowd, Disney knows that they can keep jacking up prices, Supply and Demand my friend
As long as people are dumb enough to pay, the price increases will continue.
The price is expensive, but that would be more acceptable if you could get on all the attractions. Waiting in line 20 minutes to get on a ride is too long. When people wait in line 2 to 3 hours, you get on just 3 to 4 rides during an 8 hour day. I don’t want to use my cell phone and Disney apps to migrate and manage my so called day of fun. Disney’s biggest problem - too many people are allowed in the parks.
Imagine what kind of arrogance you have to havw to do something like this thinking you are worthy of it as a company.
My gosh. So out of touch with reality. Disney is a joke.
Boycotting Disney for sure. I bet Walt is rolling over in his grave right now totally disgusted.
To see Walts Legacy be reduced to nothing....Heart Breaking....let it all burn down then WE rebuild it back to True Disney...from the ashes Rise a Phoenix
The cheapest ticket to go to magic kingdom is $150???? Absolutely not.
Remember the man princess? I will never go to Disney.
Pepperidge Farms remembers when attending the Super Bowl and going to Disney World was for the common man; those days are long gone and I don't care about them anymore.
Hah...I don't need to go to Disney. If I want to watch drunk people fight, I will just go to Walmart.
People keep saying rising prices is a bad thing, it is not (for Disney). It is a pretty straightforward business tactic when you have a virtual monopoly on a product/brand. Let's say you sell lemonade. You could sell it at $1 per cup, and thus if you sell 50 cups you make $50. HOWEVER, the next day, if you charge $10 per cup, most people will walk away, and you certainly won't get all those 50 customers back...but you only need 5 to make the exact same amount. If you manage to get 10 customers, then you've made more money with less work on your part. Even better, your "clientele" is now high end; your product can have the perception of being high status. Disney can do this by getting rid of all the riff-raff of the lower and middle class. Shorter lines, the "right" kind of people coming in, less staff needed...and even better, they can keep raising prices and the wealthy who use brands to show off will always come. If you can keep your brand high standard, you can potentially keep raising prices. This logic is why Fendi can charge thousands of dollars for bags and shoes that are no different than that available at Wal-Mart. The only way Disney will lose money is if the wealthy people walk away from the brand...which they don't seem to be doing at present. They might eventually, but for now, it's still considered pretty high status to go to Disney world or on a Disney cruise.
I had no idea the CCP was the majority stake holder of Disney . Everything makes sense now
The parks are current full to the brim. Apparently, there are plenty of people who don't think it's too expensive.
They have no shame. Walt and Roy have turned over in their graves long ago.
Smacks of their reservation system -- this time with the illusion of perks, illusion of choices - Disney puts customers where they want them. Shifting any percentage of guests to a waterpark on any part of Day 1 is just another way to nudge customer behavior.
I am a multi-millionaire but even hesitant to take my family to Disneyworld for 1 week vacation. The cost of the flights, hotel, tickets, dining will be in the ten of thousands of dollars. On top of that, there are long lines everywhere. I 've been there two times, but probably not anymore.
Theirs no point in going there anymore!!! Disney has lost its magic and Walt would be angry to see what it has become.
Prices fall in line with demand. It's that simple.
They have to raise prices even more. Lower prices are responsable for bad park experiences.
I remember as a kid Disney being actually affordable to basically everyone. Now, forget it. Just spent 4 days at the park and it was 685$ for 4 days park hopper. Insane
Disgraceful, the way this company is being run. I was one of their biggest fans but I stopped going after I went to work for them and saw what they were really like. I have not been there , with my family, in 20 years. Its not what it used to be. They will never see me again.
Are you kidding !?!! Raise prices. Since the parks are the money makers and they’re losing money everywhere, else they have to raise the prices to offset the losses in the movies and Disney+. They know the parks are the cash cow, so they are going to milk them for all they’re worth. I went to Animal Kingdom on Saturday and it was $174 for one day.
...Just Say "NO!" ....it ain't that good!
Six Flags has annual passes for about $100/person and, while the theming and guest experience might not be nearly as good, they actually have a many or more rides than most the Orlando parks. My kids would rather not stand in line looking at theming when they can do a less fancy-looking ride multiple times instead.
Common everywhere now, accountants rule forget about customer service.
And still, those parks are full, with an average waiting time of 40 minutes per ride 😂.
I would increase even more, just to see how far stupidity can go 😂.
Disney World is getting harder and harder to afford.
As long as there's demand-they'll keep raising prices amidst decling quality
There seems to be enough people with enough money willing to pay whatever Disney charges. Fifty eight million people visit Disney World every year.
The price is CRAZY
Checking time for Disney hotels is at 4:00! Check in takes 20 min. minimum, change clothes-20 minutes, get to the water park and check in there-30 min., Less than 1 hour at the water park is NOT a perk. Most people would just go to the hotel pool and stay longer. On the surface, it sounds good, but realistically………
They have become quite disgusting...we're so sorry Walt 😢
A far, far cry from Walt's dream-Mickey is crying.
All the good WDW Characters are crying their hearts out because they miss the old Disney who cared about the poor and middle class people and Elsa is trying to hold back the big tidal wave that will destroy Disney.
I don't believe it is a bigger rip-off than the lottery.
The lottery is not a visitor attraction surely?
If Disney offered my a free day on my birthday I wouldn’t go to that shitshow..they have been screwing customers for decades, no forgiveness now, I say..
I found a one day ticket stub for WDW from the 80s in a drawer. It was $25. I laughed😂Then cried😢Then got 😡
They are obviously trying to price out their customers, at this rate nobody will go there
The rich will keep going. That is Disney’s target market.
I've been AP for 12 years and with every price hike the parks are still full. Slow months aren't slow anymore. Honestly, tickets can be $200 and people will still go to full park capacity.
Seems like they’re raising prices every other week. I’m so over this company. The parks have close to zero appeal anymore, with the exception of the water parks.
I’m so glad I got to experience the old Disney before all of this craziness
Same!
It's 100% greed.
… are they *trying* to run the business into the ground now? Because this sounds like they’e trying to run the business into the ground.
When Disney first opened it was ten bucks to get in. You got a book of tickets and the E ticket was the best!
I understand your point however you are factually incorrect. When Disneyland opened in 1955 the ticket book cost an extra $2.50. This included A, B and C tickets. D was introduced in 1956 and E was introduced in 1959. Opening day admission was only $1 and only slowly increased until the ticket books were done away with in 1982.
Dang how old are you?
@@redtiger7268 wasn’t commenting on Disney land I was commenting on Disney WORLD.
@@vando6679 old enough.
@@garyjohnson7133 Apologies, since you OP said Disney I incorrectly believed you were were referring to Disneyland. In 1971 tickets to WDW were $3.50 to get through the gates. The ticket book started at $5.75 for 8 pre-selected rides. You could than buy individual tickets for anywhere from 0.10 to $0.90 depending on the ride.
They've done absolutely everything that Walt Disney would Hate, I hope someone buys them out and restores them to what Walt wanted them to be!
