Disney ticket price rise!

[pixie81]

We went to Legoland Windsor a couple of weeks ago and it would have cost us adults £50 each and kids £47.50 to get in. (Luckily we had £10 entry vouchers.) For our family of four for 14 days that would cost £2,756! If you compare that cost against Disney, then the unlimited tickets really aren't that bad value. Plus there's a LOT more to do in Disney than Legoland! It's a small price to pay for magic IMO.

Lets also look at Magic Your way tickets for a comparison. These are tickets priced in $ , sold to US visitors.

The closest comparison is the 10 Day magic your way ticket, with waterparks and more.

The 10 day park hopper magic your way ticket will cost you: $527.18
If you want memory maker thats an extra $149.

Our UK 14 day tickets looks like a bargain now.

While I understand your point you are measuring apples against oranges. Using the same logic then WDW would be $132 per day for 14 days as thats the price of a single day peak ticket which would be £6022 for 14 days for 4 people.

Legoland annual pass is £100 per person therefore £400 for 365 days and not £2756.

No one pays full price for Legoland.

Unfortunately, Disney do not offer 50% off vouchers

Excellent first post! If Disney don't sell enough tickets at the higher price, they'll reduce it again or improve offers elsewhere. You wouldn't sell your car for £3000 if someone will pay you £5000 for it.

Last trip was Virgin into and out of Miami. We used mostly Virgin miles, but the flights would've been about £3500. Parking paid by Tesco, but would've been about £150.

£350 for direct flights? if so, you'd better tell me how! Even for indirect flights £350 sounds very cheap. I thought taxes and charges were about that? Any even for £350 each it's about the price of the Disney ticket. Which one gives more pleasure?

The price would only go down if the £ got significantly stronger for a sustained period (rather than stayed the same).

This is the last few years of the £/$ rate:

I never said they were direct although the may half term Were anyway without flights you can't get there so a pointless comment about tickets.

Its not just £400 when you factor in the car parking for 14 days too
