Disney fanatics will have to tighten their belts a little if they want to visit the two theme parks in the US, as the company announced on Wednesday that it has increased prices at its properties in California and Florida.
According to several media reports, these changes particularly affect day tickets, parking permits and annual passes.
“We are continually adding new, innovative attractions and entertainment options to our parks, and with our wide range of pricing options, the value of a theme park visit is reflected in the unique experiences that only Disney can provide,” a Disney spokesperson explained in a press release.
Head to Orlando’s parks
When it comes to Walt Disney World in Orlando, the change that will likely affect Quebecers the most is the increase in prices for access to standard parking spaces. The latter increased from 25 to 30 US$. However, keep in mind that parking is free for both Disney hotel guests and visitors to Disney Springs, a shopping complex with dining and entertainment options.
Additionally, annual passes will increase by $30 to $50 depending on the card type. People who don’t live in Florida can only purchase the Disney Incredi Pass for $1,449, a $50 increase.
How about Disneyland in Anaheim?
On the California side, we are seeing further increases, particularly where day passes are up to $15 more expensive than before. The theme park also saw the price of its packages increase by $25 for two days, $30 for three days, $50 for four days and $65 for five days.
