Disney revamps themepark pricing

Walt Disney World, revamping its admissions policy for the first time in at least 20 years, is offering lower prices for longer stays but raising the price of single-day tickets by 9%.

The pre-tax price of a one-day ticket to a single park at the Florida complex will rise by $5 (€3.73) to $59.75 (€44.60) from January 2 and a week’s admission will cost $199 (€148.60) a day. For children aged three to nine, prices range from $48 (€35.83) for a day to $160 (€119.45) for a week.

The system currently in use gives visitors only two choices when it comes to the length of their stay – one or four-day passes. Disney’s Magic Your Way package also offers a-la-carte alternatives, such as a Park Hopper, allowing guests to roam among the four theme parks for $35 (€26.13) in addition to the regular admission fee.
