Disney Parks and Resorts Surveying Guests about Possible Change in Ticket Pricing

We usually go during the non-peak times, and this kind of pricing would absolutely guarantee that would be when we go! I am a grandmother with limited resources, 4 grandkids, and a love for Disney! I save up my money so I can take them about every 2 years. Higher prices limit our choices: how often we can go, when we go, how long we stay...

So you'd pay more to go at more crowded times when you can do less? I don't see how that makes any sense. It will also make it harder for families tied to school schedules or teachers to go because it will be more expensive for them.

I think there should be a senior ticket which includes park admission but not large, fast ride (roller coasters, etc) admission. We go every year and go into the park but never ride any rides except maybe the WDW RR, etc.

Why is this even a discussion??
you need a survey to tell you if people are going to like being GOUGED even more???

really??
REALLY???

Yes: no longer charge for children under age 6.
Lower prices all around for children 6-12 and lower for 13-adults.

Enough is enough! Even though I am a Florida a Resident and can take advantage of the resident discounted passes, we have friends and family that visit and enjoy going to theme parks. Increasing your prices does not make them feel the magic. Now they stay off property and rent strollers from outside sources. Universal Studios is looking better to them. They will let you buy a 2 day ticket and get a 3rd day free right now. The only thing this new idea will do is increase the crowds on the off peak times. Good for Disney, bad for the rest of us!

I don't think we (my husband and I), will be able to take much more price increases. We used to be able to go about 4-5 times a year with our annual passes. Now it's down to a couple of times a year. If they go much higher, we will have to stop. Along with theme park tickets and passes, the prices at the resorts also seem to rise at the same time. The value resort is coming closer to moderate resort prices. Please don't price out all but the wealthy Disney. Thank you.

I think the prices are high already - I would hate to think that I would have to find someplace else to visit when schools are closed because I wouldn't be able to afford Disney as many times a year as I do now.

we LOVE WDW and find a way to pay so we can go but is it really fair to ask how much someone is 'willing' to pay? By that I mean it sounds like you plan to charge the highest price you can get agreement on and that feels more like you are taking advantage instead of trying to calculate what you can afford to provide this service for. Prices are high enough now that we can not afford to buy any really nice souvenirs or eat at the beat restaurants when we are there because we spend so much money with a family of 5 on weekly park passes and lodging. I'm not complaining that we can't do those things because we are just happy that we get to visit the parks but would be nice if you could keep the prices close to where they are now for a while longer.

My parents took me to Walt Disney World for the first time when I was 21 years old, i am going to be 28 soon and from the first trip till now I was taking my fiancé at least twice a year and we plan on taking our honeymoon there come October... But as each year passes I find it harder and harder to find the money to go anymore and the prices now are high especially because when I go I always get the dining plan when I first started to go it wouldn't be more then $1,500 for two people plus dining now it costs over $2,000 just to go for 5 days if the price's change how can we continue to go every year or at some point bring our children.... Please keep the prices affordable I don't want to stop going to the place I love the most!

Way too much money. WAY too much. It is so crowded at those times, it's hardly worth going as it is.

I don't agree with this. Just make it the same across the board. I think they'd get more people coming if they gave say special perks for coming during off season. Like half price parking or free meals or something like that.

I understand that WDW is a business. I describe WDW as the most "perfect rip-off" ever devised. Don't hate me, because I too, am a Disney addict. It costs a ton of money, but after 6 visits and a planned 7th, we're "hooked". Disney does deliver what they've said...making magical memories. They'll raise the park tix and people will still pay. I just hope they don't "jump" too high, too fast. Carry on, Disney!

Even though we are DISNEY VACATION CLUB MEMBERS, I FEEL THEIR PRICES ARE TOO HIGH. WE SPEED THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS ON DVC, BUT GET NO DISCOUNT FOR TICKETS OR MEAL PLAN FOR BEING LOYAL CUSTOMERS.

Disney tickets just are overpriced already and are hurting the average family and certainly the lower waged families from ever getting to go.

Oh heck no! Dropped from annual passholder after 10 years because I got priced out. Now? Can barely go once a year. This is too much.

I love to visit Disneyland & disneyworld but I,m unable to afford the high prices that are not family affordable after you book hotel& fight it really unaffordable to purchase park tickets that are unreadable in cost .When I go for a family of 6 it usually cost me for the park hopper with water park for a 5-7 day stay around $1500.00 when you on a budget it is just to mush and after including food & buying souvenirs along the way most family's can't afford to take there kids to the happiest place on earth at the current $ cost. I really hope the management and personal making the cost really start helping families afford to go to there Disney parks. Higher cost will for sure keep me away in the further every year the cost go up and it is just per greed. Have some understanding for people on fixed income.

My family and I have gone to Disney World for about the last 6 or 7 years. Last year I personally had to save up the money for the park tickets because my parents just couldn't afford it all. I'm sad to say that If the prices go up I don't think i'll ever be able to enjoy the wonderful magic of Disney World ever again. And that makes me very sad. I always enjoy going on our vacations and I almost think I wouldn't go without the promise of being able to enjoy my favourite part of the vacation. It's hard enough affording it as it is. Don't they realize if they lower the prices a little more people will be able to afford it and more people will be able to go?

how will this effect the annual passes

I think a price hike is ridiculous. It is already barely affordable. Walt is rolling in his grave. Disneyland & WDW is supposed to be for all families. A price hike guarantees it is not

If Disney keeps raising the prices, they are going to push away their loyal customers. These are hard times and people can't afford expensive trips. The government allowed the airlines to consolidate and now we gave high airline prices. I along with most parents can't afford to fly the whole family to Florida or California, so we have to add extra vacation days to accommodate the driving to Disney. I may have to spend all my hard earned money at Universal Studios or on a cruise. Oh, by the way, a Disney cruise is too pricey for a family of four. No wonder Carnival, RCCL and NCL get a lot of customers and repeat cruisers. It hurts not to choose Disney but it is obvious you don't need my business.

i sincerely believe that Disney does not need to raise its ticket prices, and Walt would be horrified if he knew how difficult it has become for the average family to plan a Disney vacation. The prices are too high for a one day ticket to ANY of the parks, and not everyone wants to do the park hoppers. My daughter has only been once, with U.S. When she was 13. She now has 3 boys 17, 14 & 11 and they have never been, nor their dad, and it is impossible for them to go and will be for quite some time. It's a shame, they want to go so badly but it is not affordable for them on their income. Even at $80 a ticket, that would cost them $400 for one park! There should be better park-hopper pkg deals and PLEASE DO NOT RAISE PRICES! And not for special times of the year, that's not fair!

I am disappointed in the continuous price increases both for residents and non. You're pricing out way too many of your loyal guests. Also extremely disappointed that you no longer offer non-expiring. I am holding onto my last 14 days and am using them wisely. When gone? Who knows.
I'll still stay at your resorts but will visit the parks less.

I think it just makes life very confusing. You already have to contend with bigger crowds in July etc. so why be penalized if thats the only time some people can come due to school holidays etc. In the UK we get a 14 day hopper ticket for around £300, how would it work with that?

I am just curious how they think this would even work? particularly for those who don't book a resort package through Disney. It seems to me that you would have to purchase tickets for specific days and thus it would prevent you from prepurchasing tickets in the event your plans change. For example: I decide I want to go to Disney in May. I buy my tickets for the week but something comes up and I have to push my stay to July. Now what? I need to pay the difference? What if the opposite is true. do I get a refund? it seems that they are considering going strictly to "length of stay" passes which is a bit of a bummer. particularly for those families who might not necessarily want to go to a park each and every day they are at Disney. We used to always buy the 10 day park hopper no-expiration to reduce the per day cost. We were sad to see Disney eliminate that option and it will certainly affect how we visit Disney in the future.
