In about a ten year span admission prices as Disneyland have doubled. It was $49.75 for single park and $69 for single day park hopper now it is $96 single park and $150 single day park hopper.That is almost a 7% annualized increase in ticket prices. That is on par with cost increases in Health Care and College/University tuition.

A family of four costs $600 for a one day pass and that doesn’t include food, drinks or souvenirs.

Never been there, never will go there at these prices. How can you justify paying $96 just to stand in line, get 3-4 rides if you’re lucky, and pay “airport like” prices for food and drink, much less take a family of 4?

Yeah, the ticket prices are high, but not that out of line when compared to something like a ticket to a professional sporting event. And I know that at least at Disney World (FL), the cost per day as you add days to that ticket goes down pretty quickly so that the per-day average is closer to $50 by the time you hit 5 days. Adding a “park hopper” option to go to multiple parks on the same day is a flat fee of about $55 (after tax), regardless of length of ticket - so that could be as little as $5.50/day on a (max length) 10-day ticket.

As for Disneyland, aren’t a fairly significant portion of the visitors locals on annual passes anyway? Especially on weekends?

Been there, done that, no reason to go back again.

How can anyone afford to take their family to these joints anymore. I know I couldn’t afford it.

EPCOT - Every Pocketbook Comes Out Trashed.

And Remember, the Parking is astronomical also - you have to add that in. Here in FL Disney is the only park that has no really good deals for it’s FL residents. Everyone who lives gets the Busch Gardens/Sea World Fun Pass, because they really do offer a good deal.

It’s like Busch Gardens really wants your business, and Disney really wants to abuse you. When my family comes they insist on going but we always try to avoid Disney.

Unfortunately, we live 30 minutes from Disney World and since we moved here in 2005 we have had numerous friends visit that want to go to DW.

Double unfortunate, my wife still works and I am retired so she tells our visitors that I know the way around the parks better than anyone.

I have been to Disney World 38 times since we moved here. Yes, there is a trick to getting into rides without a long wait in line. And a trick to watching the fireworks and getting on the first monorail to bug out and be sitting at home in 30 minutes or less.

Fortunately, we know several employees of Rodent City who give us comp tickets. Always interesting to see the kids of employees gag when asked if they want to go to Disney World, "We want to go to the beach not Disney again."

For lots of people, a trip to Disneyland is the single most memorable magical beloved experience of their childhoods.

96 bucks is peanuts. It’s a trip to the dentist.

Ignore the jaded haters on FR who hate Disney because they’re successful. IT’S NOT FOR YOU. Suck it up and make it happen at least once for your kid.

You won’t be sorry.

100 bucks for disneyland? Wow. I was considering going when I was at a trade show down at Anaheim. But with 100 bucks I can get two good bottles of scotch and have way more fun that lasts a lot longer.
