Who in the world would pay $770 for a park ticket to Disney Parks? I think it's shocking that Disney Parks is doing this to customers and what it sounds like a new thing that Disney is trying out to get more customers into their parks. And Park Hoppers that cost $858? I think this is also part of the new thing that Disney is trying out to attract more customers. Because the way I view this new ticket pricing system I think Walt Disney World will begin to lose customers and start going downhill. But if you look at Disneyland they always announce new ticket deals and ways to promote their ticket prices and promotions like Disneyland just recently debuted their new kids ticket prices just for kids 3-9 years old and they seem to promote that deal a lot especially on TV in commercials. But what Walt Disney World should have is a special ticket pricing deal just each park and it would be split into three tiers consisting as follows,
Tier 1,
Magic Kingdom $100
Tier 2,
Disney Hollywood Studios $70
Tier 3,
Epcot $80 and Disney's Animal Kingdom $120
And guests who buy each ticket from their choice of each tier will also be given coupon books filled with coupons for discounts on things such as character breakfasts merchandise purchases and special discounts on activities such as golf horseback riding at Fort Wilderness and tickets for Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach and it would be a great way for Walt Disney World to lower their ticket prices and get the customers into the parks easily. Because for years amusement parks have used coupon books to attract visitors into the parks and for Walt Disney World it would work and if it did work Disneyland could use the same thing as well
ticket prices are an issue, a massive one. Since 2008 we have been an every year family, minus a year when one of my kids was born, and 2020. When people would ask us "why disney again?", my answer was always, "its fun, and probably cheaper than a week in the mountains or the beach", at the time, those arguments were probably a true statement.
Over the past few years with the ever increasing ticket, resort, and food prices, along with the nickle and diming, that is just simply not true anymore.
This is a disney year for us, I was really balking and hesitating at booking, i was having a really hard time actually booking this vacation. Until the free dining came out for Disney + subscribers. this put this back in the ball park for comparisons for other vacations, but it took disney offering a massive discount to do it.
To me, that discount said two things:
1: Disney is doing everything they can to get people to subscribe to Disney +
2: People are balking at those prices for a disney vacation and are not staying as long as they used to, or simply not going at all. I get people are going to say i'm wrong on this because of a lot of stats that back them up, but free dining is screaming that disney needs more people at the parks.
Disney will never lower ticket prices, but they will offer discounts in other areas, or maybe even offer a buy so many days, get so many days free offer.
I can also see that at face value, those that havent been to disney before and dont know that disney offers discounts, this can be very off putting and they may not make it past ticket pricing when looking at a disney vacation.
