  1. I’m confused about the monthly prices. Are these in addition to the full price? Because, the monthly price X 12 comes out to less than the full prices listed.

    1. People who decide to do monthly payments have to put a down-payment of $100 or so in addition to the first month’s payment, so that’s where the difference goes.

  2. I’m starting to think Disney is trying to get rid of us locals and regulars. I’ve bought annual passes fairly consistently since the nineties, but This might be our last year for a long time. Between the price raising every year, and the cannibalization of things we love, for future construction, it is not what it used to be for us. I left the happiest place on earth pretty depressed today.

    1. Not only the locals. They got rid of the no expiration option on tickets for tourists. I used to take six adults every year. If someone was sick or wanted to see something else I did not have to waste money because the ticket time would be good the next year. Now I will make sure I never buy any extra ticket time. We will be spending most of our vacation time away from Disney at all the sights we have been missing over the years.

  3. Crazy expensive! My family of 3 gets in to Universal/IOA for a year and free parking for $500! One mickey year is that much! I get its 4 parks but that is insane! Guess we won’t be seeing any magical ways for awhile!

  4. yes 729 is too much. and plus they dont even unclude disneyquest anymore because its closing down. so they took out disneyquest, but didnt replace it with anything? yea no thanks disney

  5. The prices are insane! And if you’re paying that much, there should be no “blackout” dates. Also when is Disney going to recognize that some disabled people (those in wheelchairs with true mobility limitations such as paralysis) who can not ride most of the rides SHOULD NOT be paying the same rate 50% less would be fair. I get that the can see shows but let’s face it, the main attractions are rides. So just to spend the day with family, it costs a fortune for someone who can’t ride.

  6. They ruined our Christmas this year and disappointed our kids. We had planned on getting passes next month and I had budgeted for it. My 3 kids do not need free parking and Christmas and summer is when we can go without pressure. I am a teacher so I can’t take a vacation whenever I want to. We are moving over to the Universal passes because Disney has raised prices so much that singles or couples can afford it but not a family. For us it’s over $200 a month plus the down payment. The worst part is my husband is obsessed with all things Disney and he agrees that they have gone too far with pricing.

  7. I bought a house in Orlando to be close to my happy place Disney World, but the prices are getting rediculous. I guess Disney is going to be the place for the rich. I’m going to Universal.
