From Orlando Sentinel:

The price of magic goes up this weekend at Walt Disney World, where the basic adult ticket is climbing 6 percent to a record $71.

Disney on Friday announced a whole range of new ticket prices that take effect Sunday. The price changes also affect the discount packages that still can push the per-day cost below $23 for adults who want to commit to as much as a 10-day run at Disney's four theme parks.

But almost all the prices are going up. And for the second year in a row, Disney is raising its prices in August rather than in December or January, when theme parks historically announced price increases.

There was no word Friday out of either Universal Orlando or SeaWorld Orlando about whether they, too, expect to raise prices soon. But Central Florida's theme-park resorts have a history of raising ticket prices at about the same time to about the same amounts.

Disney's increase came just two days after Walt Disney Co. announced a $1.1 billion corporate profit and another good quarter at the company's theme parks, where profit margins were exceeding 20 percent.

Disney officials said the price timing had nothing to do with the corporate earnings; rather, it was tied to the annual planning cycles of travel wholesalers, tour organizers and commercial publications. They need their 2008 information soon.

And there was no indication Friday that anyone expects Disney's new price to start scaring away customers.

"We strongly believe that Walt Disney World represents a great entertainment value. Our guests agree," spokesman Rick Sylvain said. "In our guests surveys, nine out of 10 rate their theme park experience from good to excellent."

The Orlando Sentinel is reporting that the one day Walt Disney World MYW ticket is increasing from $67 to $71 this Sunday. Other passes, including annual passes, will be increasing anywhere from 3% to 6%.

[lindique]

Another site is reporting that the advance purchase discount for 4 day and longer passes will go away. The park hopper option is going up by $5. Yup, it's going to be expensive.

[merlinmagic4]

Does anyone have actual numbers yet? I had hoped to buy new 10 day no expiration passes with the 6 options before prices increased. I don't need them until 2009 but thought I'd get a head start

[mttafire]

If this is true it wont upset me a bit. In a free market society when the price of leasure items goes up it is a sign of a good economy and supply and demand..In Disney's case...If more folks attend year after year then they will and should raise prices. If attendence falls dramatically then you'd see a price decrease. I dont mind paying more for my vacation because as wages grow its only common sense that certain "wants and needs" items will too. As much as we hate to pay more for any vacation, Be thankful; It a sign of good times!

[Flower]

Will the price increase affect specialty tickets, such as MNSSHP & MVMCP?

[sgdisney]

Makes me glad I already have my Park Hoppers ready to go!

[dumbo ears]

is this price gonna be the price for just that day or for good.

[Crow]

i have a 9 day hopper for my 10 day upcoming trip...but wondering now if i should upgrade to AP. and how much it will b going up

[DisneyCrazy]

Another site is reporting that the 7 day park hopper (expiring) will increase from $264.12 to $281.16. This looks to be a significant increase. Disney is doing away with the advance purchase discount on most of the tickets. The park hopper option is increasing from $45 to $50 per ticket.

[Zippy 1]

Does this price increase effect people who already have packages booked? We are booked for a trip Nov.8-16th. Will this change our package price?

[Melanie]

is this price gonna be the price for just that day or for good.

It's a permanant increase.

[DisneyAddict62]

Should I change our room only ressies to a package tomorrow?!

[lockedoutlogic]

Anyone know florida res or DVC rate increases for seasonal/ annual passes?

going twice late this year...then we'll be in infantland....so i'm thinking the florida seasonal pass would be best if we're off the map for awhile and only going to be there for 10-15 days in non-"peak" times....

[I take the Ferry]

Hmmmmm...

I wonder if this is the reason they haven't released 2008 rates yet...

I wonder if we should check to see if they are released on 8/5...

...

K, Slater!
I take the Ferry!!!

[DisneyAddict62]

I was reading on another site that it was the No Expiration that was going up $5, not the Park Hopper option. Any one else read this?

[TikiGoddess]

I was reading on another site that it was the No Expiration that was going up $5, not the Park Hopper option. Any one else read this?

Yes, this is true. The $5 is going to be added to the No Expiration option, NOT the Park Hopper. That's staying the same.

They are changing the Water Parks and More option to match the days of the ticket. (10 day ticket means 10 water park visits)

[DisneyDudet]

I'm off to buy my tickets right now!

[disneydude1]

Hey there,
I am a Disney Store cast member and was informed that our ticket prices will not be increasing until Tuesday or Wednesday. I did notice that a 3-Day Base Ticket is going up $12 for kids and adults and also and Water Park Fun & More Option tickets will receive an extra day. So for example current tickets are 7-Day Water Park Fun & More with 6 options, the new tickets will include 7 options.

I can post the new prices on here later on... so stay posted.

[LaDracul]

Will this also affect AAA? My family is planning to get those at the end of the year before our trip in May.
