Anyway, Uni Florida SHOULD be charging more - if you have one of THE BEST theme parks in the WORLD(IOA), with the INCREDIBLE addition they received, I would EXPECT to have to pay more! It's the eggregious lack of anything new of note for DECADES that makes WDW's MK seem worth LESS, while they jack their prices increasingly skyward! And besides, as I have said elsewhere, who the hell buys one day passes anyway?!?

All four parks charge the same admission, so his choice was to name all four or just say WDW. In the interest of brevity, I prefer WDW.

Originally Posted By CDF1 I agree with BP1 - with the Potter attraction Universal could probably charge $2, $3 or maybe even $5 more for IOA addmission. Why not? I would be willing to bet that Universal IOA is still the "day trip" that WDW resort guests kids will make them take as opposed to families staying at Universal and making a day trip to Disney. And the observation that no out-of-town visitor buys a single 1-day/1-park ticket to a Disney park is probably correct.

I know a couple of non-Disney-fan friends who as recently as their last vacation referred to the MK as "Walt Disney World". It's more common than you'd think.
Originally Posted By dshyates I believe that saying "a 1 day/ 1 park ticket to Walt Disney World" is actually the correct venacular. Because they were not talking specifically about the MK, Epcot, DHS, or DAK. But it applicable to ANY of the 4 WDW parks. And a WDW Ticket works at any of the parks.

Originally Posted By Bob Paris 1 They are excused. It's the ignorant East coasters that CONSTANTLY say, "We're going to Disney!" that make me want to rip their larynxes out. Disney? Disney World? The Disney Studios in Burbank? Disneyland? The Disney's who live down the street? To me it just sounds really lame.
