Originally Posted By Dr Hans Reinhardt But would you pay that much money to see the same movie over and over? I'm not questioning your entertainment preferences, but these prices are not affordable for the average person to do repeatedly unless you have adequate disposable income. I can't imagine trying to pay for a trip to DL or WDW for several days every year with a family.

For 4 of us, it would be over $600 for 2 days' parkhoppers. Add in travel expense, hotel and food and you're talking some real money. And now the prices are going up? Yeesh.
Originally Posted By Darkbeer Lisa and I have the Knott's Premium Pass, which is good for all Cedar Fair Parks in the US and Canada, including 6 in California (3 Theme Parks and 3 Water Parks), also get Fee Parking at all locations (except Gilroy Gardens due to the Management Contract). Plus plenty of discounts. heck, got an old Bonfante Gardens Polo Shirt for $4 last month. (the former name of Gilroy Gardens). Six Flags offers its passes for all its parks (USA, Canada and Mexico) for just For $70 for a basic, and $125 for the Xtreme, which includes Free Parking and larger discounts. I ended up buying a few T-Shirts and some Shot Glasses (aka what Disney calls toothpick holders) for about $20 after the clearance discount and my pass. Our Universal Platinum Pass comes with Free Parking and Front of the Line for the Tram Tour, plus lots of discounts. Currently $134 online. So all three are $424, or $75 less than just the Disneyland Premium Pass. All of these have no blockout dates and free parking. So that is 9 parks in California you can visit, and let's look at Raging Waters.... 3 more Water Parks in California, $50 for a season pass. So now 12 parks for less than a Disneyland Premium AP! I think Disney might be pricing itself out of the locals market. But I do have to love Knott's and how they sell their Season Pass, the cheapest price is early in the year, when you get all 12 months of issue. They just raised the basic pass by $5, and are saying they will raise it again in July. More money for less months... Well, at least you get to hopefully see Rod Miller playing the Piano on the weekends.....

Originally Posted By tashajilek I will still buy ap's next year even with the price increase. I feel really bad for families, a family of 4 will have to shell out about $200 extra for nothing. Disneyland is soon going to be a place for only well off people to afford.
Originally Posted By tashajilek I think everyone should write in a complaint. As kartoon man said he was not able to go because of the price increase. So for families not able to go thats less money for Disney to make.
Originally Posted By CuriousConstance We visit on average once a year, for 4 or 5 days at a time. That's $964 for the four of us for 4-5 days of park time! That's a lot of money. That's just for the dang tickets, not to mention food, hotel, travel, souvenirs. Yikes.
