I was talking to my dad about the price increase and he said “thank goodness Disney was cheaper when you were a kid. We wouldn’t pay these current prices parents are paying to take their kids”...I was just thinking the same thing the other day. I really do wonder when enough enough?? I imagine it will always continue to increase. It’ll be $300 a day and MaxPass will be $100 before we know it. I mean I’m sure 50 years ago no one would have guessed we’d pay as much as we do now.
Do you think Disney will ever reach a ceiling with ticket prices or is it unlimited?
Disneyland draws visitors from cities with very high incomes like San Diego, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Portland, and Seattle. The average job in these cities pays six figures. These people have plenty of disposable income. Many of my neighbors are buying $60,000 Teslas. They spend money like it is burning a hole in their pocket.
I agree its very expensive but when we go to Hawaii I usually factor in a bigger ' entertainment budget' for things like tours, beach rentals a car rental etc which ends up being the same or more than the cost of the passes. Ymmv.It's insane that a 5 day trip to Disneyland is now more expensive than a 5 day trip to Hawaii at a nice resort.
And us Canadians have a 30-35% markup on those prices for the exchange rate. Ouch!
I'm not sure that disposable income is the problem as much as it is the value.
Been to a Madonna concert lately?It's insane that a 5 day trip to Disneyland is now more expensive than a 5 day trip to Hawaii at a nice resort.

I just (like 30 minutes ago) did got 3 day hoppers with MP from UCT and they were 374.95 each. Although I'm not sure what the old or DL prices were.Is anyone still getting the old ticket prices with max pass on undercover tourist?
This was done based on 2019 prices...
Disneyland admission cost $2.50 in 1955 compared to a $129 “regular” park ticket today, an increase of 5,060%, according to the study. Disneyland admission today costs more than 50 times as much as it did on opening day, the study found. Adjusted for inflation that ticket would be $23.89 in 2019.
The 1955 Disneyland admission price was based on an adult “Deluxe 15” ticket book that included admission to the park and 15 attractions.
Scary how much we are willing to pop at these days.
GAT sells etickets now.I bought my tickets through get away today to lock in the 2019 prices. It’s been a while since I’ve used them and I do remember having to trade in the paper tickets for a hard ticket at the turnstiles etc. With BG’s still going on I’m nervous about wasting time attaching tickets to the app and such the first day in the parks since we only have two days. Can I get my official tickets the night before our first park day at the ticket booth and have them scanned in and ready?
This has been discussed in several threads. No one seems to understand why GAT recommends waiting. Yes, the number will change, but the app accounts for that and it happens on every ticket, not just those purchased through GAT and it's not a problem.Mine were emailed to me to be printed or scanned at the turnstiles and specifically say they can’t be added to the app since the ticket number will change.
