On: Disneyland raised prices to shorten waits

[InTheArena]

The article misses why this happened. I’ve seen it speculated that on any given day, 40-50% of Disneyland people are annual pass holders. They can jack the daily rate all they want, but it doesnt’ move the needle that much. If you traveled all the way to the states, a extra 15-$20 a ticket isn’t going to set you off.

Annual passholder tickets went up as well, but the same logic applies there. If you are dropping 1K per ticket, a $100 isnt’ going to be a deal breaker.

If you do care, you buy the ticket that is cheaper ($600) that is California only, and not valid for admission on busier days.

This.

First, Disney significantly raises annual pass prices to limit the number of AP holders in the park.

Then they implement a monthly payment plan to make the pass more affordable.

Left hand, meet right hand. You two should talk.
