Mickey Mouse does not mean cheap, as Disney parks in the United States are showing with price increases pushing the per-person entrance charge to the theme parks past $100 for the first time.
On the website for Disney World in Florida, one adult ticket costs $95 — six dollars more than last summer. With the taxes that are automatically added to the published price, the spend amounts to $101.18.
Children are a bit cheaper, but not noticeably. With taxes, parents have to dish out nearly $ 95 per offspring. And the full “adult” price applies starting at age 10. So a family with two children might pay a hefty $ 391.94 for a one-day pass.
A two-day pass comes with a slight discount, but still costs $ 758.28 dollars — without accommodation, food or drinks.
Disneyland in California, the first Disney park to open in 1955, is somewhat cheaper. Adult tickets cost $ 92, $ 5 more than last year. And children’s tickets cost $ 86.
Prices have gone up drastically in the last three years. According to the Los Angeles Times, the $ 92 ticket ran for $ 72 three years ago, before going up 5 dollars each year since.
