wow! I think Disney is overated. The waterparks are good. Disney Springs is now a v expensive shopping mall. Disney rides are very very dated, some still work, but others are naff.

I was already thinking Disney was a bit naff, but if we go next October, I am not paying to get in Disney, at those prices, no way.

If we go next near and nephew comes with us, we wanted to do a disney park or two, just so he can say he has been. May be better value to buy one day pass so we can take him to Magic kingdom and "show" him epcot by riding monorail through!

See more...

You pointed out yourself why the price has gone up. The pound lost nearly 20% of its value in the wake of leaving europe. Disney price in dollars...

The rise is around 20% plus a little bit for inflation.

If you want to be mad at someone be mad at the UK, its our own choices that have precipitated these rises.

Personally I think the pound would have tanked whichever way we chose because of how split everyone was. What we need is a leader with vision to get us back on track, I think Obama is free in a couple of months - we could do worse

I agree it is a huge jump in price

Luckily we booked with Disney in April and so have tickets locked in at this years prices but have already started thinking about whether we will go somewhere else in 2018 - £1600 is a lot on top of the cost of the actual holiday for the four of us.

So explain why the ticket price did not go down when the pound was strong? Your logic does not make sense. It is just Disney being very very greedy.

We don't ever buy a 14 day ticket now as we don't spend all the time at Disney, we get MYW tickets and got 5 days for next year at £219 each. Don't forget their price rise is also to cover the 'free' Memory maker on each ticket where you only need one person to have the MM.

They are being greedy, and even with just 2 of us, I'm sat here thinking I'm lucky I've been so many times. I really cannot see us going again in the foreseeable... the increases are just too much, I don't normally struggle to justify the cost but its getting out of hand.

No increase at Florida Escapes...still £367.00

Edit to change currency

The pound could rise back to $1.50 but I bet the tickets won't drop back to £329!
