I think ever since John carter took a huge loss in the theaters they are passing that loss onto the Disneyland tickets New rides, new land and a huge loss in the theater Disney has to and probably will get their money back some how

Here's the deal. Last year Disney was thinking about ending the AP park hoppers due to it will be over crowed in Cars Land. They said it will be more locals in DCA then tourist. So my guess is at the last min was to raise park prices to control AP guess. It hasn't been a full year from the last price increase. No theme park in the world is worth $649 a year in AP. it may be a deal to a single person, but to a family of 4 or 6, it's really out of there budget. That's a price of a small car payment. It's sick what there doing. - Gadgetman 288.8 #690 8:20AM

I agree with Gadgetman...If i was single the price wouldn't bother me. When you have a family of 4 or more then its out of the budget. - bigpete 265.1 #890 8:58AM

I am single, and with only one income the price hike is very difficult for me, not as bad as a large family, but still... - BRabbit 333.9 #467 9:00AM

It's $1,000 for a Tokyo Disney and Disney Sea AP - Coaster 9294.5 #1 9:03AM

It's worth it to me. - MXPrincess399 483.1 #251 9:12AM

Yeah, looks like I won't be cold chillin with all the MW'rs anytime soon. And that's with both my wife and I holding jobs! Sads. Seems like now-a-days spending time browsing MW is more about watching other people shop shop shop and spend spend spend, while I save save save. Retirement AP, I'll have you in my grips in another 20 years!!! - littleoysterz 210.4 #1516 10:27AM

Why don't you just go once in awhile instead of everyday. I think you are getting a bargain. - Mickeyandfriends 4.7 #11378 10:49AM

Oh I agree! As a single mom I am going back and forth as to if I am going to be able to afford to renew our AP's. This is a difficult decision because we have made some amazing friends through Mouse Wait and it's going to be hard not seeing them as often. I pray that things work out so we may get our APs renewed this year. - ohhhtoodles 365.2 #396 11:07AM

As a single person that new premium price bothers me and very upsetting. Disney is becoming very very greedy. Even more kids won't be able to enjoy Disney because of the prices. Great Job Disney Executives!! - mstiauna27 89.3 #3206 11:36AM

I have to disagree. I'm disappointed as well, but what is sick is the fact that people coming to Disney for a two day trip which is probably there once a year Vaccation, and can't hardly do anything because lines are soo long. As you mentioned, they could have completely done away with the program, but they didnt. Disneyland is the ONLY park that is worth this price. It will still pay for itself in a very limited number of visits. We have been very spoiled. I have friends all over the world who would die to go to Disneyland. I also have friends that are considered under poverty, and never been, even at old price. Everything is relative, and we need to understand this theory! - Zipitydoodahdad 258.3 #939 12:10PM

Going to Disneyland as often as you want is a luxury and not a right. I think it's sad when we become sooo complacent that we feel we are ENTITLED to do these very luxurious trips. Some families save for years, just to go for a few days in their entire life. I'm sorry, but this bugs me. Again, I'm disappointed that I can't afford the new passes, but I would never call Disney names or make blanket statements where the realities are being severely distorted. I DON'T LIKE IT, but I understand it, is a fair statement. - Zipitydoodahdad 258.3 #939 12:17PM

You need to spin your outlook on it. If you do payments...let's say it's $40/$50 a month....that is STILL cheaper than a one day ticket. So even if you go once a month your going at a discounted rate. I'm single but fortunate enough to have a well paying job so I can continue going. If its that important to go maybe there are other luxuries you can cut out. Maybe here isn't. But as Zipp said...it is a luxury. - KissDclown 1088.4 #77 12:24PM

Now I'm really gonna rustle some feathers, I'm going to still get a pass, not sure which one, but with less people buying premium passes, my day will be much more enjoyable! Even handicap lines are out of control this year! Thank you Disney! - Zipitydoodahdad 258.3 #939 12:26PM

Well I was talking to Alex (churrohoarder) and he said the price increase is really only going to amount to one less dinner per month either at Disneyland or another resturant or maybe bringing the kids anacks rather than buying snacks. Once he put it like that I wasn't quite so sad. I guess I have to make dinner once a month now. But in all honesty, Disneyland is a part of our life, it will make lines shorter and will weed some of the younger teens out that have potty mouths. So if you look at the positives, it will probably be a good thing! 😁 - Minnis2Society 366.4 #394 1:52PM

Im sure there are potty mouths that can afford it XD - HandMeAChurroImmaFaint 1837.7 #43 2:08PM

It all comes to supply and demand. Even after the increase I'll bet you don't see much of a drop in attendance. And I think it's still a helluva bargain. Check out a 2hr show in Vegas for $120.00 or more per person - nitromouse 274.0 #809 3:34PM

Wow I have been a pass holder for only one year, but sadly after this news my family of six has decided not to renew. 😔 - ChadP 5.7 #9688 5:48PM

$150 increase for Premium AP is unjustifiable. :( - PrinceCorey 4242.2 #6 7:35AM

Yes it is. My guess is cars land went over budget by the same 30% - Vinylchaser 1945.7 #39 7:39AM

Don't forget part of the 150 is the 30 bump for parking so it's 120 AP increase plus the 30 parking increase It's still a jump - mike714 336.9 #456 7:55AM

About 8 years ago it cost $199. What happened! For several years we've lived with refurbs and ride closures and still endured yearly price hikes! Now Bamm! - jacdanfan 2873.7 #17 9:02AM

Agreed. I agree with what some are saying about, "don't complain, Disney isn't a requirement, it's a luxury," but a 30% (or so) jump is absurd. That's not ethical. - KylaShea 541.3 #215 9:27AM

THIS^^^^^^^^^^^^^ - splashphotoCM 881.2 #104 10:09AM

$30 for parking!?? - HandMeAChurroImmaFaint 1837.7 #43 10:37AM

parking hasn't increased (yet). it's still $15 on the website. doesn't mean that it won't go up.. but i can see it going to $20, not $30... but then again, i'm sure we all saw a 10% increase, not 30%.. sigh. I'd like to think part of the reason was Disney Paris losing 2% net income last year, and Tokyo Disney losing 1% from the Tsunami/quake closure.. and the ridiculously expensive and lavish Aulani resort that opened last year as well. And... the unopened Shanghai Disney that's slated to open in a few years.. money has to come from somewhere and fund other places. sighhh, again. - SultanPprShkr 328.7 #494 3:52PM

Wow Disneyland is getting too greedy now.
