Also, it includes Park Hopper. The odds of that are virtually non-existent. People take trips to Disney theme parks. Disney has predicated its pricing on resort tiers. These rooms cost less than a decent Marriott by the airport. The difference in resort quality is almost comical, though.
Instead, I wait for a sale and preferably use BoxLunch Money to save even more. Coming out of the pandemic, Disney probably should slow its roll on the increased prices for a while due to the negative publicity.
However, the company has no need to do that. Demand for park visits is approaching all-time highs! If we look at , the parks increased 7. The main reason why they decreased in involved turmoil in Hong Kong. Consumers believe that Disney provides a reasonable entertainment option relative to its price. If you doubt that, google some post-pandemic concert tickets. Now, factor in how much Disney has added at the parks since Level up the fun on your Disney vacation!

We had so very many things that made it an awesome trip and made us spend that money. We even had Fastpasses! So, we live with those memories and it makes us so very, very sad to see what has happened to make it not worth it. Instead of the Poly—we could actually go to Polynesia or Hawaii and not spend nearly that amount. The more we resist the Disney prices—they will change.
I did calculate all of my prices on the Disney site and I do still have my past trip receipts to prove the prices we paid in and …also trips in , ……you get the point:. It is getting too expensive, even to those who are members of the DVC. An average family cannot afford to vacation there. The price of meals, even using quick service, are quite.
Perhaps they could tighten their money belts and give the averagemjoe a break. The potential of charging for fast pass would be the final straw for me.
It is harder to take my family with the higher costs but we go when we can — every couple of years now. If you have to pay for fast passes, it could essentially double the cost of a daily ticket — call it what you want. Our honeymoon, which consisted of visiting several things that were free to get into, cost nearly that much. Should it be cheaper?
Honestly, no. Starting a new bus system called Mears will begin instead of Magic Express. It is just unbelievable and I agree that Walt would be turning over in his grave. Disney has gotten more expensive over the years , and somehow the patrons have gotten ruder and so has some of the staff…. I have been to DW over the years and I cannot believe how expensive it is in I think it is outrageous. Last visit for us. We will stick to cruising with Norwegian Cruise line all inclusive. It feels like someone at Disney has decided to put profits ahead of the overall guest experience that brought us back again and again over almost 3 decades.
We travel from the UK and have arranged a 2 week family break every 4 years or so since , usually staying at the Poly. Enjoy your trip next year. We then went in off property, for our honeymoon at the Animal Kingdom Lodge and finally in with our now 10 year old daughter at the Animal Kingdom Lodge.
Each time it has become much more expensive and not just because we have stayed at the AKL the past 3 times. I spend a lot of time making sure I book the best holiday I can and at the best possible prices, but with Florida this is becoming impossible. Absolutely too expensive. We went once a year early December for just 5 days flying from NY for over 20 years…as just two of us ….
No parades, many restaurants not open, no live shows like Fantasmic, etc and yet the prices are increasing faster than the rate of inflation. This is not what Walt wanted…. Orchestra at Floridian? Daily Mousekeeping? We continued to go ever December as he spent over 6 years battling cancer…now just me in fixed income paying cancer and funeral bills. Love Disney but just not sure it is financially possible anymore. Funny story…my first trip to Disneyland was way back in ! We drove from Arizona to Anaheim.
True story! Walt is spinning in his grave! I had wanted to bring my grandchildren for 5 days and with cheap air costing 1, It really was sad to disappoint my grandchildren but that is ridiculous! I have been going to WDW since Admittedly a Disney fan-attic, became DVC members in Recent moves make me question if perhaps their pricing on everything is exceeding their value.
The pandemic and recent management changes have pulled the curtain on the differences between what Walt had intended and corporate greed.
Yes, Disney lost a lot of revenue because of closure, but it appears to me that because of unreasonable pricing increases — paying more for less — they just announced a profit for the first time since shutting down the parks. There were always reports of some attractions being down for maintenance but never to the degree they are now. Clearly they are no longer maintaining the parks like they used to. The Disney organization today is unrecognizable to those of us who grew up with them.
It is just too much stress and work and expense and not enough magic anymore…. I can deal with the cost for an occasional visit, but the crowds are too much. Also many of the special places Disneyland Antique Store, Tahitian Terrace that had products not tied to the latest movies have gone away years ago.
There is no question that Disney is too expensive. Now that they have a merchandiser in as CEO, things are going to get even more expensive. Revenues dropped after their last merchandiser CEO. Somehow, people are still going to Disney World. LOTS of people. Every day. Huge crowds. Annual passes, counter service meals, cheap flights can add up to a reasonably priced vacation. A Disney vacation is like no other.
And affordable to many many people-as evidenced by enormous crowds. As Disney increases their profits, they add more attractions and entertainment back to the mix. I think Walt would understand and approve.
What a wonderful world it would be. Being a senior, my trips are now limited due to the cost. I just hope for a few trips with my youngest grandchild before I have to sell my house for the money to make the trip! As a DVC me,bet we have not bought park tickets for the last few years.
We are consider selling because of it. Everyone has a breaking point and sadly I think a lot of folks will say see ya Mickey… but unfortunately the unknowing newbies will know no better and accept it. Exactly what I have been saying for years.
I was a 3 to 4 times a year visitor. Mom bought in to DVC back in because you got great treatment for the extra you paid. Over the years, the prices keep going up and services keep going down. Mom has started seriously speaking of selling her membership. Far too expensive and far too many restrictions. My family likes getting up and deciding what to do that day. Fadtpassrs dictate some of this, but only for the ones who are scheduled. Yes Disney is a magical place no doubt.
We used to go there twice a year for my wife and two children. After seeing the prices rising ever so high, it seems that the only reason is greed from a billion dollar corporation. Making it only for people who can highly afford it, is not was what Walt Disney had in mind.
My biggest gripe regarding Disney pricing is the continued discounts Florida residents continue to receive. They already have.
It is WAY to expensive. But I have gone every year for two weeks since and am a gluten for punishment. Me and my family will continue to go and eat peanut butter and jelly all year to make it work.
