One-day park-hopper tickets would be $155, $160, and $170 under this model. What stands out on this second option is the way multi-day tickets are priced. Visitors staying for three days might find themselves needing one Gold ticket, one Silver ticket, and one Bronze ticket to cover their stay, a situation the current pricing model has never needed to accommodate. Rather than create an extremely complicated chart to cover every possible combination of multi-day tickets a visitor might need, Disney instead proposed a flat discount for longer stays. Customers would purchase the number of one-day tickets needed to cover their stay, and take 5 to 20 percent off the total depending on their length of stay. This actually seems to roll back a trend from the last several years that applied the smallest price increases to the longest tickets. At $275, a five-day one-park-per-day ticket is currently a little more than half the cost ($495) of five one-day tickets. The chart included in Disney's survey shows a maximum discount of 20 percent for multi-day tickets, a substantial price hike. Under this proposed plan, a five-day, one-park-per-day Bronze ticket would jump to $396, a 44 percent increase from the current price. A five-day, one-park-per-day Gold ticket would be $460, an increase of 67 percent." Things just got serious. If this happens, I can see, nay, potentially catastrophic.
Originally Posted By RoadTrip That would certainly be a huge change from how they price tickets at WDW. Multi-day passes are incredibly cheap compared to single day tickets... especially for longer stays.
Originally Posted By CuriousConstance I really hope that doesn't happen. I don't think it's a good idea for them to discourage multiday visitors.

And that'd be kind of evil genius -- getting people to "avoid" a major price hike by spending more! Imagine someone planning a 5-day visit. They look at what a PAP costs compared to the $460 gold ticket, and now they are planning TWO 5 day visits to get their money's worth. It's just crazy enough to work...

Originally Posted By Kar2oonMan That's true, it might not ever happen. But it wouldn't surprise me if this is being seriously considered as it seems a pretty sure fire way to bring in additional revenue fairly easily.
