Disneyland and Disney World hike ticket prices starting Wednesday: report

The Walt Disney Co. is reportedly raising ticket prices at two of its major U.S. theme parks, citing rising labor costs and continued park expansions.

The price hikes took effect Wednesday at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida, and Disneyland in Anaheim, California, Disney-focused news site MickeyVisit.com reported.

“Disney parks offer a full day of experiences every day, with ticket, hotel and dining options designed to fit a wide range of needs and budgets for all visitors,” Disney officials told FOX Business in an email. “Our commitment to creating magical experiences for everyone remains at the heart of what we do – and that will never change.”

Visitors to Disneyland will experience the biggest price jumps. A one-day Level 6 pass at the park, used on the busiest and highest-demand days, has risen from $18 to $224 per adult — a 126% jump over the past decade, according to MickeyVisit.com.

The popular five-day Park Hopper pass, which gives access to Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure, has risen from $39 to $655.

MickeyVisit.com reports that the park’s Lightning Lane Multi-Pass is up 6.25% to $34 when purchased in advance.
