Parking charges are getting silly now!

It’s worth pointing out that it’s not just the one-day ticket prices that have increased. All the other multi-day tickets have also increased in price too. For example, a 3-day Base ticket has increased by $10.

Well, not really. The Disney parks were originally aimed at the middle class and well off. Heck, Disney was one of the first to start charging just to enter an amusement park.
Anyway, just the other day, Disney announced record attendance at the parks for the end of 2017. So more people are able to visit the Disney parks today than they ever did in Walt’s day.

We first went 10 years ago and I think the parking was $11 per day
So in that ten years parking prices have increased by 100%. Literally doubled. Nothing else in the park has doubled in price. Food and drink may have increased a bit, but not to that extent. So the parking is simply because they can get away with it as people have no choice.

They already did a survey on 'resort fees'. It wouldn't surprise me if we soon see that coming in.

We gave up driving to the parks a long time ago. We Uber there and home. Saves walking through the car lots, but we primarily did it so we can enjoy a drink and weirdly felt we had more control over our day. If you're staying close to Disney, I'd imagine it's cheaper to Uber.

It's gained drone technology, new rides, new experiences, new Rivers of Light night-time experience.
It's gained Disney Springs which is now an amazing place full of great restaurants and shops. It's gained new technologies which allow you to order your meals on your phone while you queue for rides.

In the last 2 years, Disney have added or changed the following:
In addition, Disney are nearing completion of Toy Story Land at HS, are part way through building Star Wars Land at HS, Skyline gondola system between Epcot and HS is underway, Ratatouille and GotG rides at Epcot and Mickey's Runaway train at HS are being built, and they are about to start building the new Tron ride at MK. All those new attractions have to paid for somehow whilst still maintaining/increasing profits (Disney ain't a charity!). It might seem like there's nothing new, but quite a few things have changed and been added since we were last there only 22 months ago.

All is not lost!
There is so much to do in the area as well as Disney, beyond the parks. Have a year where you spend less or no time at Disney, and see what else Florida has to offer. You may be very pleasantly surprised. |
