Walt Disney World, the iconic amusement park dedicated to the most famous animation studio on the planet, announced the increase in ticket prices starting next year.
Through its official site, the theme park began the advance sale of tickets for 2025, whose prices show an increase compared to those of the beginning year.
Despite everything, a benevolent calendar is also shown, with certain convenient dates, whose advance launch will allow travelers to plan their vacations well to take advantage of those opportunities.
The idea of raising the prices of its attractions is recent for the company of the most famous mouse, and it is well planned. Although it might seem like a bad strategy to anticipate your potential customers with the price increase, this has been completely intentional.
According to the MouseSavers.com site, the fact that the parks opted for a staggered price increase, keeping their prices stable this year but announcing the increase next year, will allow travelers to plan better and could even attract more customers. in 2024.
Although the increases are not very aggressive, it is expected that this trend will continue given the financial “difficulties” that the company has faced in recent years thanks to its relatively unsuccessful productions, at least compared to those of the last decade.
Although Disney’s income continues to be measured in billions of dollars, company executives, such as CEO Bob Iger, who announced his final resignation in December 2023, claim million-dollar losses because its latest releases have not positioned themselves as expected. I had planned.
The parks were also part of this recession during the pandemic, when they remained closed for more than a year while maintenance costs and salaries continued to run, leading to the layoff of thousands of employees at the “happiest place on Earth.”
How much will Walt Disney World prices go up?
To recover from these damages, the prices of the different Disney parks will have an increase of between 5 and 15 dollars, depending on the attraction and the day.
Notably, certain late August weekday tickets at Disney’s Animal Kingdom have seen a modest $10 hike, adjusting their price from $109 to $119.
On the other hand, during periods of high demand, such as a Saturday in late April, prices will also rise slightly, exemplified by the $5 increase at Animal Kingdom and Magic Kingdom.
Meanwhile, the maximum price for a one-day ticket will remain at $189, unchanged from last year. Park Hopper passes and multi-day tickets will see across-the-board increases of between $5 and $10.
