disney theme parks have seen unprecedented demand lately, but many fans say ongoing price increases may limit future visits.
Disney has increase the price of tickets to his California amusement park, with a one-day pass registering an average jump of 9%. General admission prices to the Magic Kingdom and other Orlando parks will not increase.
That’s not to say travelers to Florida will escape higher costs. Disney has also increased the cost of its Genie+ pass, which allows customers avoid long queues at some attractions. In October, it will now cost between $15 and $22 per day at Florida parks when purchased in advance (compared to a fixed price of $15 before). Prices could rise further after the end of the month, as Disney sees more and more people during the holidays.
At Disneyland and California Adventures, Genie+ will now cost $25 when purchased in advance. That’s a $5 increase from the previous price.
About half of Disney Parks guests buy a Genie+ pass, the company said previously. Genie+ launched just over a year ago, replacing a free line skipping system called FastPass.
Disney World visitors can also expect to pay more for food and drink and those who choose to craft their own lightsaber or droid at Hollywood Studios’ Galaxy’s Edge will also see prices rise.
At Disneyland, a one-day ticket will now cost between $114 and $179 depending on the day, up from $104 to $164 previously. The company said $104 daily tickets will only be available on less busy days of the year. Two-day ticket prices increased by 12%, from $255 to $285 per adult. Disneyland last increase in ticket prices last October.
The Disney parks, experiences and products division reported revenue of $7.4 billion in its latest quarterly results. That was a 70% improvement over 2021.
