The new pricing strategy follows Walt Disney World's unexpected single-day admission price increase in mid-August, followed a week later by Universal Orlando matching the $67 price for a one-day, one-park ticket. With multiple parks -- two at Universal and four at Walt Disney World -- tickets good for only one park in the same day have become less popular than those good for multipark visits. The new Universal tickets -- EarlyBird Exclusives -- must be purchased in advance and can be bought online at several sites as well as at AAA or travel agency locations, The $85 plus tax adult ticket is good for seven consecutive days beginning with the first day's visit. Disney's one-day ticket with the Park Hopper option sells for $112, plus tax. The seven-day Disney Park Hopper, the closest option to the EarlyBird which is good for any seven days within 14 days of first visit, sells for $248, plus tax.<<

If you get a Disney seven day pass for $210 you will spend two days at three Disney parks and still be paying $30 a day. I hope Universal rakes it in on this deal.

With this deal I'm going to spend an extra half day at the Studios to check out the stuff they didn't have in Anaheim.
