Personally I don't think they will ( but what do I know ) but they have a new hotel and brilliant water park opening and prices have shot up for both tickets and hotel stays and there's still demand as it's still cheaper than Disney and they seem to be taking a lot of business away from Disney. As you read on here everyday lots if people are fed up with the whole way Disney is working at the moment. its around £15 a day for universal 3 park ( buying the uk tickets anyway) so really good value. Thing is most people don't want the whole 14 days.

I've not heard any murmuring on a Universal price reduction. I don't expect to see any major reductions.
Mind you, I didn't expect Disney to reduce their ticket prices so much. So who knows!

not seen or heard anything about Universal reducing tickets and, tbh, I would have thought other than the black friday deal (which I managed to get) that they won't do a reduction with the new Volcano Bay park opening and with the ever popular HP extension then they have absolutely no need to whereas Disney are losing customers by the bucket load so they needed to do something.

Are they?
I know Disney reported a 4% drop in attendance over the summer months (mind you, park revenue was up 6%) back in August. But I thought numbers were back on track since then? Surprisingly, Disney UK increased the price of their tickets just after announcing that visitor numbers had dropped.

I've read this sentiment a few times but honestly, I've no idea what's meant by it. Now, I'm not a very frequent visitor, last time was Sept last year though, but I've always been more than happy with Disney. The whole experience and magic is just as good for us as ever and we never lose the thrill of heading through the gates of their parks. For me, there's still no one can touch Disney for the special atmosphere they create. Ok, they may not always have the best rides, but it's not always about that. You can get great rides at Alton Towers, but it's a dead soulless pace and I wouldn't touch it with a barge pole.
Well, now that I've 'defended' Disney , what is it that folk are unhappy about? |

There has been massive threads on here recently about poor service, poor cast members , dirty rooms, dirty parks, price increases , charging for ridiculous things , monorail and transport problems, poor dining , losing the Disney magic. It's not just this site it's many American sites as well.
I love Disney but since our last trip in Nov 2015 it certainly has lost its shine at the moment , constantly reading about the changes. They shut half of hs durng our last trip but didn't announce it all until a few weeks before we went. It's also shown as Disney park numbers are down, people are talking with their feet.

I am following this with interest as we need Universal tickets, but haven't bought them yet, as Disney is a must do for us and Universal isn't. Would be good if we could get them a bit cheaper.
