Tragic Kingdom at Dismalworld Hikes Prices
 

It will now cost you $95, per ticket, to get into Magic Kingdom at Disneyworld.

A one day visit is now expected to cost over $500, including food, but excluding accomodation for a family of four;

Just in time for the school vacation and the summer tourist season, or is that just a coincidence? :frown:

Re: Tragic Kingdom at Dismalworld Hikes Prices
 

Not many people go to Disney for the day though do they? If you are going on vacation, you are going to buy a multi-day ticket. If you are a local you're going to buy a season ticket. The only people I can think of who buy a single day ticket are people who are fairly local and might want to go and celebrate a birthday... or someone visiting locals who already have season passes, and they buy a 1 day ticket to go along with them.

Seems better value than Universal too, who are also above $90 per day, and I thought it was crap when we went a few weeks ago.

It is a really expensive vacation though.

Re: Tragic Kingdom at Dismalworld Hikes Prices
 

I thought it was $89 even several years ago? But yes, still so expensive.

Of course, it works well for me but annual pass holders do seem to be subsidised by the people who buy day passes in all the parks, not just Disney. Universal Hollywood, for example, is $80 for a standard day pass and $99 for an annual pass ($109 for no black outs). Last few times we went to Universal all we paid in the park was for a refill or two (99c each).

Re: Tragic Kingdom at Dismalworld Hikes Prices
 

One thing that annoys me about some theme parks is how they build a new park right next to the old one and call it something different to justify having two separate admissions. Like Disneyland California with its California Adventure, right next door, nearly twice the price to visit both, a bit chopped off Disneyland in order to build the new park, yet prices kept going up.

I'll concede Disneyworl Orlando is a bit different as each of the Disney parks there are much bigger.

Re: Tragic Kingdom at Dismalworld Hikes Prices
 

Adult day ticket increased to $90 at Disnland, CA too :sneaky:

Re: Tragic Kingdom at Dismalworld Hikes Prices
 

Part of the reason behind it, is they need to have two seperate parks for safety around capacity reasons. Although, I'm not denying they like being able to charge for both the parks. At least now they have built CarsLand, California Adventure feels like a real park in its own right.

I never forget how lucky we are not having to pay to go to Disney. Especially when we lived an hours drive away while our daughter was 5-8 years old. We certainly made the most of that freebie. Miss it loads now we live in No Cal.

Re: Tragic Kingdom at Dismalworld Hikes Prices
 

$500 excluding accomodation :eek:
You got me to thinking how much i paid for my last trip to Disneyland. So i pulled up my receipt.
We stayed 4 nights in the Anaheim Ebassey Suites, One king suite with the kids on the sofa bed. Full breakfast included and snacks, $1 pizza slices and complementary drinks in the evening.
Got a 5 day parkhopper passes for the price of 3 days.
I've used this company and got a similar sort of deal twice now.

Re: Tragic Kingdom at Dismalworld Hikes Prices
 

Average prices do come down when you stay for more than one day. That's why the article is a so misleading, as most people don't just do one day.

In this instance, a 1 day ticket with no hopper, so you can't leave to get dinner outside the park. So 4 x $90 = $360, plus dinner and snacks for the day at $140 so around $35 per person. Seems about right.

Re: Tragic Kingdom at Dismalworld Hikes Prices
 

I would rather shoot myself in the face and pull my anus out from the hole than go to any of these parks.

But I would like to go to the one in Ohio for the rollercoaster, but seem to be in a minority :(

Re: Tragic Kingdom at Dismalworld Hikes Prices
 

I used to think that until we took our daughter for the first time. The look on her face was pure magic, and she still loves every moment of it now. I wouldn't swap those memories for anything.

Re: Tragic Kingdom at Dismalworld Hikes Prices
 

Yes i think so too. If you think these prices increases are rough spare a thought for the club 33 members. Gold membership for 3k a year is no longer available, just platinum for $10k a year :eek:

Re: Tragic Kingdom at Dismalworld Hikes Prices
 

I don't give a shit about them. No body makes them be club 33 members. If they are stupid enough to pay that, then Disney do right charging it.

Re: Tragic Kingdom at Dismalworld Hikes Prices
 

Wait until your kids get older and then you won't have a choice if you don't want them whining all the time.

Re: Tragic Kingdom at Dismalworld Hikes Prices
 

Yes its worth it for the kids and I have fun too, but after 5 days of Disney i am done.

Re: Tragic Kingdom at Dismalworld Hikes Prices
 

I take it you're not too keen on the place, then?

Re: Tragic Kingdom at Dismalworld Hikes Prices
 

When they're tweens perhaps.

Nightmare lugging around kids now though and so horrendously expensive for something they'll just forget about in five minutes....they're right fish memories my two for anything decent :/

I went to Disney Tokyo when I was a teen and enjoyed it, wasn't nearly as expensive out there either, but it probably is now.

Re: Tragic Kingdom at Dismalworld Hikes Prices
 

Which one? There are at least a couple that have different "best" rollercoasters. I guess you're thinking Cedar Point but there's PKI too.

Re: Tragic Kingdom at Dismalworld Hikes Prices
 

That's what a well padded basement is for....not the entertainment centre.

Re: Tragic Kingdom at Dismalworld Hikes Prices
 

Cedar, for the rickety wood jobby.

But it's not going to happen. Kids have buyers remorse climbing into a bouncy castle at the moment as it is :lol:

Re: Tragic Kingdom at Dismalworld Hikes Prices
 

Ah well in that case you definitely want to visit KI (apparently not Paramount any more)! Longest wooden rollercoaster in America. I've just realised it's 12 years since I went there :eek: but still remember feeling pretty hyped after that one. It's near Cincinnati.

Re: Tragic Kingdom at Dismalworld Hikes Prices
 

After about 3 days I'm done.
Dd is 8 still haven't been, she mentioned it on the ride home from school today. Maybe when we move back to UK I'll buy a package holiday to Disneyworld and get it over with in a couple of years, I won't want to come back right away.

Re: Tragic Kingdom at Dismalworld Hikes Prices
 

I just checked the price for Disney Tokyo and it is 6,200 yen(about $62) which is surprisingly low considering everything in Tokyo is significantly more expensive than Florida.

Re: Tragic Kingdom at Dismalworld Hikes Prices
 

More of a detour than I was willing to make.

Now if we didn't bother with this wedding we're going to, that would give us a couple extra days...though the little one is their flower girl so we might be missed :o

Re: Tragic Kingdom at Dismalworld Hikes Prices
 

That is a surprise that it stayed so low.

Got me wondering about Euro Disney, but not enough to look it up :lol:

Re: Tragic Kingdom at Dismalworld Hikes Prices
 

taking your kids camping in the woods by a lake is free.

Re: Tragic Kingdom at Dismalworld Hikes Prices
 

Get SWMBO to drive and it's a thrill ride! :rofl:

Re: Tragic Kingdom at Dismalworld Hikes Prices
 

Yeah i must admit days 4 & 5 start to feel like groundhog days.

But still nowhere as near annoying as my 2 hours in peppa pigs world at paultons park :sneaky:

Re: Tragic Kingdom at Dismalworld Hikes Prices
 

Yeah, it's hard to know which is best. I think Disney is more magical when they are young, and the characters are all wonderful, but they probably won't remember it. When they are older, it's just another theme park, but they'll remember going.

Although mine doesn't remember the first time we went (Paris when she was 3) I will always remember her face the first time we walked through the gates. It was more than worth the money for that single moment. We've been so many times now, all her memories jumble into one, but she already looks back on times at Disney as being some of her happiest memories, and remembers odd moments from years back.

Re: Tragic Kingdom at Dismalworld Hikes Prices
 

Not if you've got to buy all that crap to go with it and pay camping fees....and then the mozzies :D

Re: Tragic Kingdom at Dismalworld Hikes Prices
 

Then there's the Bear Shite, too

Re: Tragic Kingdom at Dismalworld Hikes Prices
 

And you can leave them there and tell them it is "Adventure Land".:D

Re: Tragic Kingdom at Dismalworld Hikes Prices
 

Gone were the days that it would cost $5 to get in and you had coupon books for the rides....:)

We went last year, and purchased the City Pass thingy, one day at Sea World, 3 days at Disney and a day at Universal.... Thankfully Granny paid for it because for all of 4 us (Granny included, it was her holiday) it was well over $1100! :eek:

The day at Sea World was nice, love San Diego! 3 days were more than enough at Disney (2 would have been highly sufficient, although daughter would have loved another couple of days..) But Universal was the biggest waste! I hated that place! Again, gone were the days when it was just the back lot tour bus...and that was the only thing I did like. The rest of the place was just tacky!

Re: Tragic Kingdom at Dismalworld Hikes Prices
 

They'll suck your blood for free! :thumbup:

Re: Tragic Kingdom at Dismalworld Hikes Prices
 

Re: Tragic Kingdom at Dismalworld Hikes Prices
 

Which brings us right back to Disneyworld .... I love these circular threads:lol:

Re: Tragic Kingdom at Dismalworld Hikes Prices
 

Yes, they're quite "Goofy"

Re: Tragic Kingdom at Dismalworld Hikes Prices
 

:D

Re: Tragic Kingdom at Dismalworld Hikes Prices
 

Another thing about Disney, is that when we go there with a Group, say a Marching Band for example, we get charged $20 per day, per bus, for the priviledge of dropping off and picking up the group there.

If the Group requires the Tour Director to remain on-site, then we also have to cough up for the cost of admission for him or her. And sometimes, we have 8-10 Motorcoaches involved in the movement.
