Disneyland ticket prices continue their year-to-year increase as they rose by an average of 8 percent on Tuesday.

One-day tickets now range from $104 to $179, depending on the day, with the one-day $65 'Park Hopper' ticket add-on making the most expensive ticket $244.

The new price tag for tickets complements a falling Walt Disney Co. stock, which has fallen 46 percent in the last year.

Quintuple EVERYTHING...movies, cruises, sports events...the sky’s the limit! Yahoo!

Well, it sure seems the people who run Disney, are hell bent on making political statements, rather than just running the damn business end of things.

They have “bean counter” types, and CPA firms to do analyses of various factors. I bet that with the price increases, they have found they will still make a good profit with fewer customers at higher prices.

The profit may well be lower at these higher prices, but, Disney management is making decisions, that they are happier with a smaller profit and smaller crowds.

Actually, a major complaint about Disney is how damn crowded it gets. These higher prices may well thin out the crowds enough, so that those who do pay up, will enjoy it more.

Why does anybody even want to go there anymore?

The left destroyed it some time ago.

[Tommy Revolts]

No worries. The big corporations will subsidize BLM and Illegals.

[roving]

There is no park on earth worth that kind of money

[metmom]

Good.

Disney needs to crash and burn.

Child grooming and sexual abuse is never acceptable.

“Kennywood, a little closer to the city, runs you about the same money and is only a bit more crowded.”

It’s a little bit more expensive in that you need full body armor to enjoy the day at Kennywood anymore ... all of that diversity in Duquesne helps to kill that park a little more each year :-) .

Damn shame since Steel Curtain and Phantom’s Revenge are two awesome, world-class rollercoasters (plus The Jack Rabbit (almost 100 years old now IIRC) and Thunderbolt are two outstanding classic coasters) ... also, if it made financial sense and the park could grow, they could make some awesome rides given the terrain out that way.

Until the Governor got in their way I believe that you could not even get in the park without being vaccinated. No Thanks

Sad to hear that and reinforces why I last went there a decade ago. The proximity to the city does expose it more to Urban Ferals vs. Idlewild, which is tucked away into the next county (ours) where Trump trounced Biden by over a 2-1 margin.

Took the granddaughter there pre-covid and would go again. It is more suited to small children and their (grand)parents.

Was about to say that $$$ would pay for a 4 day cruise..

[hinckley buzzard]

Anyone who is willing to pay well over $100 for a day at the amusement park is just lawful prey. I have no use for Disney but hey. Whatever the traffic will bear.

[dragnet2]

So a family of 4 to fly to Disneyland for a weekend now costs in the area of $5,000++ for a weekend. That’s an expensive amusement park.

lol...

[dragnet2]

Years ago the last time I went to Disneyland I went into a restroom in Adventure Land and there were used condoms on the floor...

That was it for me.

[griswold3]

Few upper middle class consumers would pay those prices for a dilapidated amusement park.

[sauropod]

It is useless to feed the mouse.

Wean thyself.

There are the same number of maxumim people going to go on a given ride per hour no matter what system is used. If everyone uses it then they will ride on the same number of rides they would have otherwise. Difference is they will spend more time not in line for ride as the fast track holds their place for them.

[sergeantdave]

Let’s give them less and charge more.

And the brainwashed parent stooges will line up and pay.

Goofy for president. Yay!

“I suppose as long as the suckers are willing to pay for it.”

That’s how I see it. Never took my kids there and they still survived childhood, somehow. Had the money, but had better things to do with it.

[Vigilanteman]

My daughter, son-in-law and granddaughter are quite well-to-do. They were going to take her to Disney World in Orlando until they totaled up the costs.

It turned out to be cheaper, not to mention more educational, to take her on a vacation in Europe where she sent me a postcard from the REAL castle which the Disney version is modeled from.

[angelrod]

This is so true…..that’s why woke, liberal corporations are the biggest hypocrites out there. They talk a good game about wanting everyone to have equal access, as long as it doesn’t interfere with them making the Benjamin’s, lol!
