Park Ticket increase for 2020?

Considering whether to buy park tickets now for July 2020 or leave until early next year. Aware that some sellers offer deposit plans.

Does anyone know if Disney and Universal increase their park tickets at certain times of the year, if so when?

if you're buying regular tickets, direct from wdw and/or universal, they typically increase prices around the month of february

but they've also been known to have 2 price hikes per year, or work on different schedules.

well ... to make it simple, if you want to secure a price before increase, buy as soon as possible

depending on the types of ticket and seller, you may also want to wait for a special offer

if you're looking at 14 days tickets for either resort, prices won't move much (even though disney UK has offered a price drop on 14 days ultimate after the end of the free dining offers) but they'll probably go up if you're waiting until the beginning of the year to purchase them

The 2020 prices for the UK 14-day tickets are already out. They don't increase in price like the American tickets do. However...
  • The tickets can change in price at random times if there is a significant change in the exchange rate. Small changes don't tend to be reflected in the price.
  • Ticket sellers can have different deals, which sees ticket prices vary as one company tries to undercut another or tries to generate more sales. Once the deal ends, the price will go back up.
  • The official Disney and Universal websites can also have offers on the tickets. For example, at least half the year Disney has their "14 days for the price of 7" deal on when the 14-day tickets reduce by £20 or so. When the offer ends, the prices goes back up again to the regular price.
With regards to the last point, in the past 2 or 3 years Disney has had a offer on from mid-December until March where they've significantly reduced the ticket price. In the first year they reduced the price by 25% (i.e. £100 off) and last year they reduced by about 12% (£50 off). There's no guarantee they'll do it again this year. However, if you can, it might be worth waiting until December/January to buy 2020 Disney tickets.

Just to note, the above only applies to the tickets usually sold in America, such as Magic Your Way tickets or 1, 2 or 3 day tickets. Next year's 14-day UK tickets don't usually increase in price in February compared to what they are now.

So if the OP is interested in 1 to 10 day tickets for Disney or 1 to 5 day tickets for Universal then they should try to buy them before February next year. But that doesn't apply to UK 14-day tickets.

Thanks for replies.

Apologies, should've added that I'm looking to buy 21 day Ultimate Disney ticket and 6 park combo (Universal, Seaworld etc). Moving towards leaving to see what offers come up November - December.
